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.
