Shingles vaccines, chickenpox, Shingrix

[Mij]

It's one year ago in a few days that I got Shingles. I still get occasional neuropathic pain. My prescription is at the pharmacy and I'm getting my first Shingrix jab soon.

Clear your calendar for a week afterwards. First 3 days or so after the first Shingrix were pretty rough for me. The second shot was much easier.

Thanks @Sean I'm waiting until after my dental appt first week in February.

Wise choice.

Oh no, you've just reminded me I'm going to have to have a second one..........the first one was bloody awful.

I had my first Shingrix jab on Monday and am feeling appalling. Can't sleep and have the shakes.

 

[Sean]

It was pretty rough for me for about 3 days. So hopefully you will start improving soon.

 

[tornandfrayed]

Thanks, Sean. It's still really horrible, but hopefully it will be over tomorrow.

“Moderna’s CEO announced the company will no longer invest in new Phase 3 vaccine trials for infectious diseases: ‘You cannot make a return on investment if you don’t have access to the U.S. market.’ Vaccines for Epstein-Barr virus, herpes, and shingles have been shelved.”

Thanks a bunch, RFK Jr, and your batshit insane obsessions.

What a legacy.
