Shingrex and ET platelet levels

The patient in the article cited did not have ET. There is nothing I see that indicates any danger to an ET patient, unless that patient also has a history of ITP (immune thrombocytopenia).
I have had Shingrix, pneumonia, yearly flu shot, umpteen covids. Blood counts did not change for me after any if these shots, probably because I have never had a history of ITP.
Anyone who wants to discuss with their doc, the direct is: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ajh.26143

Do you have ET? While not attributing causality, vaccine might reduce platelets in someone with ET, not necessarily ITP. I will have a follow up blood test to see if my platelets returned to "normal" Or there might be interaction between HU and shingrix vaccine? Will be interesting to explore.
