Life gets a bit complicated when we’re on immunosuppressants. Because it’s not 100% certain the Shingrix vaccine has me protected I’m still taking and antiviral pill daily…just in case.

I agree, this has to be a case by case decision. If someone has had or has an active case of Shingles they should wait until it’s approved. A weak immune system is just the opportunity the virus is looking for to reemerge.

I had a bone marrow transplant, essentially giving me someone else’s immune system so technically I haven’t had chicken pox but the virus might be in my system from the transplant donor. So we’re covering all the bases by getting me immunized. Hah, talking about not being an antivaxer. I just had my final 2 post transplant vaccinations, #s 28 and 29 since last October! Hope some of them take!! LOL.
