Getting the Shingles vaccine’s a good idea... it’s not experimental. It’s real with all necessary years of testing. Did you get the older version or the new updated one? (I’m planning on getting it soon - can’t make up my mind about which one to get)

I had the new one, Shingrix, which I understand is much more effective than the older one. Like I said, I also had a rough time with the side effects (only after the first shot, second one was fine) for about a week, but I think that’s just me; everyone else I know who had it only had two or three days of discomfort, and not nearly as severe as what I experienced. It was like I had a really bad flu for about a week.

Would definitely do it again, though. I’ve had several friends, as well as my dad, who had a rough time with shingles and I don’t want anything to do with that.

Updated one. You get one shot and then two weeks later you get the other. I believe it’s two weeks anyway but they’ll tell you after you get your first shot how long you have to wait but something tells me it was two weeks.
