@lorirenee1 Did you have Chicken Pox as a child? If you did, do you know anyone who had shingles in later life? It is not good.
Remember that the Flu in 1918 killed 675,000 in the United States..About 12,000 - 56,000 people have died in the US each year since 2010.
Did your parents see to it that you had the polio vaccination? Not knowing your age but to have lived through the summers in the 1950s the threat of Polio was really lifestyle changing.
Have you ever reported your medication symptoms to your prescribing Doctor? Get credible information from reliable sources. Mayo Clinic Doctors and publications are credible. Facebook medical information is not reliable. Don't bet your life on it..
I am 83, and have seen too much needless sickness because of a hunch or what "someone said." Good Luck.

@ken82 Yes, Ken, I had an outrageous case of chicken pox at 21 years old. I was student teaching and my 4th graders all went down with the pox. I was the last to go, with a raging fever, pox everywhere. Terrible time of it. I am 68 years old, have had all my vaccinations, but somehow, I just have had such weird experiences with meds that I tend to leave well enough alone. I might be nuts, but so be it. Just scared to death of most current vaccinations, and I have heard horror stories especially of the shingles vaccination causing neuropathy. So I will take a pass. I know this may be wrong, but I just don't want to have a vaccination. Covid vaccination I must take, if ever available. Thanks for writing, Lori Renee
