This reply is to @ricke, and others in this thread.
I'd like to clear up some factual misstatements. I am not specifically referring to people's opinions, to which they are entitled. However, I hope that if the facts upon which those opinions are based are correct and science based, the opinions that flow from those facts will be more evidence based.
1) GSK does disclose possible contraindications, as does every other drug manufactured which is approved by the FDA.
2) There is no category in the reporting called "potential reactions", which, of course, could be anything. The categories are "Black Box Warnings" (there are none for Shingix), "Contraindications/Cautions", "Adverse Reaction". and "Drug Interactions". There are also "Pregnancy/Lactaton warnings.
3) One cannot "prosecute" a drug manufacturer because of suffering an adverse reaction. One can sue, and, if they have a good case, receive compensation. A government agency such as the state can prosecute, such as in the Purdue Pharma case.
4) I am not a lawyer (phew!) but I believe one cannot be deprived of their right to sue, no matter what they sign. Of course, that may not mean they will prevail.
5) One person's perceived negative reaction involving a drug, treatment, etc., while it may be true, is called anecdotal evidence, meaning it is essentially one person's experience. This is not accepted as factual, until proven in a controlled study. This is similar to what are called case reports in medical journals, which are presented not as evidence based facts, but simply a sort of "heads up" to the medical community.
6) Although livelihood is certainly involved, the vast numbers of health care providers that I have come into contact with are not simply in it for the money (a few are). Moreover, in the time of Covid, it is particularly unfair to hold that opinion, when so many healthcare workers are fighting such a heroic (and often deadly) battle to save others.
Over the years, vaccines have saved millions of lives, and eliminated untold suffering, while being very safe for the vast majority of people who have gotten them. I believe anyone who has witnessed the suffering of an unfortunate shingles patient who goes on to develop post herpetic neuralgia (a form of PN) wouldn't hesitate to get the Shingrix vaccine.
