Since Shingrex is not a live virus, I wonder why. Might there be some underlying condition that you have that would make it prohibitive for you?
When the vaccine was new, I remember that there were some questions about it, and so I asked my transplant nurse. She checked with the infectious disease doctor in the transplant department and he gave approval.
