@jakedduck1- Good morning Jake. What is holding you up from getting the Shingles vaccination? After getting my first shot, yes there are two, my husband actually came in contact with my arm and came down with a very, very mild case of Shingles. And it was not a pretty sight, nor was it painless.

Here are some posts that if you haven't read them, might be of interest.

Merry, did you have the Zostavax shingles vaccine? That contained a live-attenuated vaccine. The new Shingrix doesn’t so it won’t transmit shingles to someone else. I just had my second dose a few days ago. Lucked out with no sore arm from that one this time. But yikes, the other arm with 5 vaccines looked like a cartoon character! LOL.
