I Have Graves' Disease Which Is An Immune System Disease;

I have Graves' Disease which is an immune system disease; I am having thyroid surgery on Dec. 3. I would like to get the shingles vaccine, possibly before surgery. Can I receive the vaccine even though I have Graves and would it be ok to receive it before surgery?
