I was so happy to get the Sihngrix vaccination. I got it when the pandemic first hit. Prior to that I had been trying to get this vaccination for at least a year probably more. The pharmacy never had it and either did my General Practitioner. The first dose of Shingrix I had no side effects. The second dose wiped me out. I had to leave my office and I fell asleep in my car for 2 hours! The next day I was fine.
I received the Moderna vaccination and had the same results. The first shot no side effects the second shot totally wiped me out for a day. I'm happy I got the vaccinations and would do it all over again. |

VFer Margaux had shingles in 2019 and cautioned us to please get the vaccine:
"Fellow VFer's, take it from me, it is worth the temporary side effects to avoid Shingles. It has been six weeks since I came down with Shingles and although the worst of it is over, I still have a lot of pain in my back, where it began and all of the skin where the shingles virus traveled is still very sore to the touch. I am still on gabapentin, a nerve med, and using CBD cream on my back. Sorry for the bad effects from the Shintrix vaccine, but hang in there. It is worth it. As soon as my doctor allows, I will be getting the vaccine since I can get Shingles again." In her later posts she was feeling much better. But, many months were grueling.
