No. Had a bad reaction to one several years ago and never did it again.

Same here. The LAST one I was given years ago resulted in four days of mattress soaking misery and agony.

Even though my wife has RA and is immuno-compromised, health providers still ask and encourage her to get one.

Her co-worker's husband got one, coincidentally developed Guillian Barre Syndrome, and later died (turns out he also had mono. She's filed a lawsuit).

And now the push to take the "$hingles $hot". I'll take my chances and not get that, even after witnessing my dad go through suffering shingles.

I got the shingles vaccine a couple of years ago. Paid cash. I do not have time for shingles, or anything else that doesn’t kill me instantly.
