I have had the first shingles vaccine with no sign of a problem. I need to get the 2nd one done. If it protects me from shingles, I'm all for it. But to have adverse reactions to the shot makes me want to give it more thought. I have had sfpn long before shingles shots. Are there studies that have looked at the risks and the possible connection to pn?

Hi Jim, I don't know the answer to your question however I do know that both this year's influenza and the Shingles Shingrix vaccines are inactivate aka dead viruses which is why I was able to get both on the same day without any consequences. Shingles is an excruciating virus that one doesn't want to experience. I haven't ever heard of a relationship to neuropathy so I don't know. Hope all is well with you and warmest regards, Sunnyflower @magnum52, @ken82, @jesfactsmon
