I could start another thread but is anyone getting the Shingles Vax.
It's something I kinda dread.
I took the first of two doses in September. The last dose will be this month. Just a sore arm at the injection site on the first round, like many other shots. I've heard that some people have a stronger reaction to the second round of the vaccine. I've been told to get it in the morning and take the next day off.

I've had shingles years ago. Not really that bad. Had 2 shots in the past for it. Shingles is worse than the shots.
Recently got the tetanus shot, one every 10 years. Dr wanted me to get booster covid and I said no.
Found out today, need cataract surgery within 6 months......

Hit and miss with the flu shots. Have had shots, and still got it. Many different strains and medical personnel say maybe 40% effective.
Had the original shingles vaccines. Painful. Then years later Dr told me that it is not effective. So I had another round of vaccines. Still painful. But hopefully no shingles in my future.
Have also had pneumonia shot.
Maybe a shot of Jack is best ! !
