I did take the new 2 shot Shingles vac
.....................................
I had shingles about 20 years ago (AWFUL pain) does the vac prevent reoccurrence?
It’s supposed to but if you google up shingles vaccine, you will find many accounts of it either not working or having awful side effects.
I have been encouraged to get it but am very reluctant to for a variety of reasons, the biggest of which is my tendency to have allergic type reactions to vaccines, like the kind I get when I get stung by a bee. Not quite full blown anaphylaxis, but a week of shortness of breath and other allergy type symptoms to the point of trying to decide if I need an ER visit or not.
And I hear the Shingrix vaccine has stuff in it to enhance the immune response. Just what I need.
