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.

Thanks for helpful information. I’m just starting to get over the worst sore throat and cold/flu(?) I’ve had in years. Doc gave me antibiotics, nose sprays and other crap...One of the grandkids sent 5 types of soup, Ricola cough droops, Kleenex and cold press coffee so I wouldn’t have to make coffee. It might be a few months before I take something that’ll make me feel even close to this bad again. Again, thanks for future reference. I will get the shot in the springtime.

I took the same and had no side effects. I'm now trying to figure out why I am so screwed up that several things I've taken over the years have not had any side effects when others seemed to get them.
