@cec2 I had my regular blood draw a week after second shingrex shot, and my platelets plummeted. Dr wanted to do more blood draws to make sure everything was ok. Seems shingles shot dropped my platelets, but slowly recovered over 2 months.

Thank you for your reply. That is interesting!
I'm now wondering if my first Shingrex shot is what may have caused my recent decreased platelet count, although the interval had been a little longer (maybe about a month) between them than yours. That's the only thing different I can recall and mine had never decreased before.

I guess I'll see what happens after the second one.

Best wishes for good health and take care.
