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.

Ouch! Glad at least one arm is OK.

Lori- I have actually had both types. I don't remember the side effects from Zostavax, but I sure do for Shingrix that I had this past year shortly before my vaccinations. Vaccination should be given by a gun instead of a needle. It's barbaric!
