After having shingles, I am all in favor of the shingles vaccine.
I understand that Shingrix has an adjuvant that increases the immune response to make the vaccine more effective.
My immune system is so out of control already, that is a risk I am not willing to take.
I’ve also read way too many comments on sites dealing with adverse reactions to the shingles vaccines and there are far too many people who now have problems that they never had before the vaccine.
I know what it looks like and am aware of what I need to look for.
If I have symptoms that indicate shingles, I will hightail it to a doctors office and seek treatment immediately. There is medicine that can help if you get it in time.
I got both shingrax vaccines 2 years ago. My mom went thru hell with shingles.
