They say the maximum protection of the vaccine is 5 years, and after that they believe you'll need a booster. This shouldn't be a shock, most vaccines need a booster and we get them without a thought.

From what I've heard you can get the vaccine even if you're beyond the "suggested" age. If you want it, find a doctor that will give it to you.

Lady Sage:
The shots are generally in the $360-380 range, lots of insurances are actually covering them so have your doctor's office call yours. They give the shots intramuscularly (IM), I had mine in the bicep. They make you wait 15 minutes after your first shot to make sure there is no reaction. Oddly enough I didn't have a reaction to the shot but to the band-aid they used on me. It's been almost a week and I still have a solid red band-aid outline on my arm.
