Already got the vax. Family members who've had shingles have said it's the most painful thing...

Probably a dumb question but I'm reading about all of these recurring cases. How does the vax...

My Dr recommended me against it.

And... why? Recognizing there are two different vaccines: live and dead virus.

he just said he didn't like that vax and the drugs if you get shingles work well

It wasn’t terrible, but it wasn’t great. Like you said, felt like the flu but only lasted a day.*

The 2nd wasn't all that bad. A little under the weather was all.*

Everybody responds differently. It means you had a great response and awesome immunity to it.*

I do recommend it. If you've had it or know someone that has, it's pretty damn miserable.

It is a 2 shot series. When I said one shot, I meant only one vaccine.
