I got shingles a couple of times and it wasn’t bad but they were small areas and didn’t spread. I could see where it would be really bad if a larger area broke out.

So I got the vaccine when I turned 50. Both shots made me feel like I had the flu for a day or so. If I don’t get shingles again I would say it was worth it.

I know people who have had shingles, so I got the shots. The first vaccine was only about 50% effective. They have a newer, two-shot vaccine now that is much more effective. The newer version can lay you low for a while. For me, my arm hurt for at least a week, but it went away. No shingles so far.
