“As soon as I was able I got the Shingrix vaccine and would recommend it for everyone.
Shingles is bad juju I wouldn’t wish on anyone.”
Concur. Similar experience and got the vaccine asap afterwards - had a persistent bothersome nodule (where the first symptoms occurred) on the back of my neck afterwards - finally had it removed - still itches now & then.
Same thing with pneumonia - get the shot if you’re a senior.
This covid vaccine I’m passing on for now altho the Novamax is looking like the one I will consider IF the prophylactic protocols I follow are ever proven to be lacking.
I too still have itching in the group of nerves the shingles attacked.
Also I have some numbness (nerve damage I assume) that I will probably live with the rest of my days.
But I’ll take all that over full blown shingles ANY DAY.
“The decision to get a shingles vaccine is a personal one. I can argue pro and con based on the data I reviewed”
If you opt to not get the shingles vax and later come down with a full blown case of shingles I can assure you my friend the experience will certainly convince you. Lol
