“ Interesting. I had my second Shingles Zoster vaccine dose last week.”
———————————————————————————

I had a Shingles vaccine about 6 years ago. Mine was just one dose.

Must be different types.

What got me moved to get was an in-law got Shingles and it was around and on top of her eyes!

I thought, nope, I don’t want possible blindness.
She recovered really well though.

Apparently they don’t do the one-shot Shingles vaccine any longer. My wife has had Shingles twice. I know a guy who had it on his face and it did get perilously close to his eyes. I have had Thyroid Eye Disease (and seven surgeries to try to correct it), and I have glaucoma in one eye. The last thing I needed was Shingles ruining what was left of my eyesight. That was the factor that pushed me into getting the vaccine.
