Vaccines don't scare me, so we will be getting it, as well as our kids/grandkids. My take is that the risk of side effects is far less than that of getting the virus, and even partial protection is a big advantage. I was of the same mind with Shingrix and pneumonia - had mild reactions to both, but last time I got pneumonia, it morphed into a lot worse. And seeing what others have gone through with shingles, there is no way I want to deal with it.

@sueinmn- Oh, I'm not afraid of vaccines either. I've just had 2 of them myself. I feel as if I should be excited about them, but because they have understandably rushed this through, all of the side effects and kinks haven't been worked out. I guess I'm afraid of upsetting the applecart with my health. Hopefully, my worries will be for naught.
I had a shingle shot a few years ago and Dave got a mild case of it right after I came home. My doctor said that since it was a live virus that could happen. I now have to go and get the new one (2 hots I think it is).
That's terrible that your pneumonia developed into something worse. How long were you ill?
