I had the shingles vaccine 10 years ago, once I turned 50. I know a few people that have that stuff, and they're just totally miserable all of the time. A woman I know mostly had it in her lower back area, and she was totally miserable during major flareups. I think I got mine a day or two after turning 50. You're crazy if you don't get this vaccine.

I'll get the Covid vaccine as well. Being 60 should get me in by March or April. If I were young with no other medical issues, I might consider passing on it, but if Trump says it's safe, then he's probably right.

Just got Shingles shot this year. CDC recommends that people 60 years old and older get shingles vaccine .

Other medical professionals say all healthy adults age 50 or older should get the Shingrix vaccine unless: You are allergic to any part of the vaccine.

Protection from a shingles vaccine lasts about 5 years.

I think nursing home patients should be towards the front of the line, but not the front of the line. Just my opinion. Not gonna get butthurt if they are first.

I'll take it, just like I take a flu shot every year and plan to get a shingles vac in the not to distant future.
Athletes should get the first doses. Keep our entertainment going.

"It's also not yet known whether the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines protect people from infection entirely, or just from symptoms. That means vaccinated people might still be able to get infected and pass the virus on, "

So even with the experimental mRNA vaccine you can still have the virus, not know it, and spread it.

How is that different than what we are being told without the vaccine?

Shingrix is the preferred vaccine starting at age 50. Two dose vaccine with outstanding protection
