@vustrbrwn22, If you know anyone who in their later years has had Shingles you would not wonder if you should get the Shingles Shots.. The Vaccines have gone through so much rigor to be tested and finally marketed .... the probability of good results is well established and documented .. go to your pharmacy, get the name of the company that developed the vaccine .. go online to communicate with that company to establish trust.. the anti-vaccine crowd are skeptics who want to blame government for most anything... but do not mess around ... get the shots or you may spend weeks, even months with needless pain... Ken

Hi Ken82, yes, if one were to get the awful shingles, it can hurt badly for up to a year, worst case scenario! Imentioned this earlier that both the Shingles Shingrix and the influenza vaccines are inactivated aka dead so I got mine both on the same day, different sides, with no unwanted side-effects. And, I'm taking two immunosuppressant drugs daily and have a zillion health probs/diseases. I wonder if people might be reacting to the medium these inactivated viruses are in? Mmmmm. Take care, Sunnyflower @bustrbrwn22

I strongly disagree; I never had shingles however my internist suggested I get the vaccine since I turned 65 and had chicken pox as a child. I received the first shot March 2020 ( will never get 2nd) and have suffered every day since. I went from a extremely healthy individual, problem free, to a chronic disease sufferer all as a result of the vaccine. GSK the mfg. has been insulting in their
response to my inquiries about contraindications. Knowing what I know now I would have preferred to take my chances with getting shingles then the daily misery I am enduring. Based upon my own extensive research I will never get any future vaccination(s) under any circumstances , including COVID.
“Extensive Government testing” is a term frequently used however has extremely limited scope.
