I received the Zoster, two shots, last spring/summer; I was 61. Not a pleasant reaction…so, glad I got it out of the way. But certainly better than shingles.

Hopefully with the newer vaccines being “non-living” and more transplant recipients, like you Rosemary, receiving it post-transplant, it’ll become universally authorized.

Hi @athenalee
When you say you had a reaction to the Shingrix vaccine, can you please elaborate? I have that shot coming up and I would like to be prepared! 🙂
Thank you! Also, unrelated question...as a transplant do you eat cooked shellfish like shrimp, scallops, lobster, etc...or are they not the best for us? Thanks again
