Don’t scare me away from this vaccine. I was lucky enough to get a mild case of shingles when I got it but don’t want to gamble with anything worse. I legit flipped my lid when it was advancing up my arm and neck. I was terrified it would get to my face and eyes.


My dad was finally talked into the shingles vax by the doctors at the VA after repeatedly refusing it. What followed was a six or 8 month battle with Shingles. About a year after the vax, he began experiencing extreme fatigue. Doctors then discovered his white blood cell count was dangerously low and that they had mutated. Repeated tests for cancer and leukemia all came back negative. He was under strict orders to remain home because even the smallest infection could be life threatening. You will not convince my dad otherwise that the shingles vaccine didn’t wreck his immune system.

Got my second one this year. Was much tougher on me than the first. The first was a breeze.

There's also a chance that the VA boned something up.
