Supposedly it's an intial shot, then have the second (final) one 3 months later.

I’d probably pass on it. Good chance they slip you a Covid vax “by mistake”

The second shot prompts a stronger (flu-like) reaction. Get it on a Friday so you have a couple of days to recover.

I’ve received it. Think it comes in two parts. Arm hurts like a bitch for 2 days

Just mix up some ivermectin and peroxide and inhale it through a nebulizer. My cousin had shingles and did that and he was well enough to go to Golden Corral the next day

I took the first dose and felt like warmed over dogshit and said eff the second shot.
Disclaimer: I've had shingles twice, both mild. Maybe that's what make the reaction to the vax harsher.

I'd like to see your reaction to actually getting shingles. Because it hurts/burns like a mother fricker.

My wife and I took one shot in Florida around 6 years ago. They did not ask us to take another shot. No problems at all on effects on the body. I did not get the Covid shot. True blood here...

Shingrix. Recommended if you’re over 50. First shot. Wait 2-6 months then get second shot. No side effects for me. From what I’ve heard, shingles is miserable. Got the shots at a local CVS.

Zero symptoms, either shot. Per 2 friends, get shingles on either the face or crotch area & you'll pray for "flu-like symptoms".

Gave me shingles. Go figure.

Mine was on my left side torso from mid back around to the left side of belly. Above and below the belt line. No crotch thank Jesus. Very painful. Valtrex treated it well but I'll admit was embarrassed having it filled at CVS. Didn't want them to think I had the herp

I got them. Slight body temp rise but gone a day later.

My wife had had the shot and had no symptoms. Her sister did too with no side effects.
I don't do vaccines for flu, shingles, pneumonia, Covid etc.
One of the potential side effects of many of the above is the chance to contract GBS and I'd not wish that on anyone.

I had my second two days ago. They didn't care about the long gap between.
Arm still hurts, first vaccine that hit me this hard. Usually don't ever notice them.

I was a little tired the next day, but nothing terrible.
