went thru a bout of shingles about 6 months ago and finally decided to get the shot along with a flu shot. woke up feeling like I have the flu! aches, pains, headaches, cough.... good times! another shot in 3 to 6 months. Wife got back from Disney world last week, I asked her if she might have given me the kung flu!. jim

I had my "Shingrix" shingles vaccination maybe a year ago - two shots, if I remember correctly. No problems, a little sore arm.

The hardest part was working my way down the waiting list. Took probably a year there and I was on different lists at different places. Finally hit the magic number at the Kroger pharmacy.

On a different note I got my Covid booster and flu vaccine yesterday (flu was last week). The Moderna booster is half strength and neither bothered me at all not even a sore arm. No one in my family has ever had shingles so I will likely pass on that one but that could change.

Ivermectin no worms for sure, cures covid, and probably shingles and don’t forget it’s also a cure for autism. But for sure you will have no worms, the rest please consult your Facebook doctor because if there is side affects you are doing it wrong.

I can't speak for Ivermectin one way or another, but just because those that make their money from developing, selling and administering expensive drugs say something doesn't work doesn't mean it doesn't. Remember all the crap about Hydroxychloroquine for Covid? My wife's doctor says that it probably saved her life. Back on topic, just understand that the Shingles shots are not 100%. It is still quite possible to get Shingles even if you have been vaccinated, not that that should dissuade anyone from getting one.

I suffered with the Fauchi Flu on the 5th day I got the Hydroxychoroquine and was feeling better the next day. My son was quarantined with me and started off on the Hydroxychoroquine and was over it in 3 days more or less. To be young again!
I listened to Dr. Fauci and to date I have received all my Moderna Covid shots including all family members and none of us got Covid period. Hell I even got my booster yesterday. I like my solution better not getting the ugly bug in the first place then trying wannabee medications after you get it. Just makes more sense to me.

Shingles suck!! I had them. Get the shot. I'd take the aches, flu like symptoms over the shingles anytime. The most painful thing I've ever experienced. You don't want them. Get the shot. Years later I'm still experience joint pain etc. from what my doc tells me are the effects of the virus.

I got my Shingrex shots a couple years ago. They ended up being spaced apart more than planned due to availability. Each shot left a nice sore lump in my arm and the first made me kind of tired the next day but that was about it. My Covid booster last week left a really sore lump in my arm for a few days but that was about it. The first two Covid shots barely even left a sore arm and no other effects. Got the flu shot a couple of weeks ago and it was entirely uneventful too.
