My mother had Shingles and it’s not nice
I think the shingles vaccine works more like a traditional vaccine where it prevents you from contracting the illness as opposed to modern vaccines that make you increasingly likely to contract the illness multiple times in the future
I had shingles about a year ago, after the vax. I found out all the vax does is lessen the symptoms. Even with that, it was not fun. I had nerve damage from my forehead to the top of my scalp, and some of it got into my left eye. I’m still seeing an eye doctor over that.
My cousin had it, said it was more painful than childbirth. That was all I needed to hear; I went and got the vaccine.
