Hi @muddlycrew 😊
It's very nice to meet you and Congratulations on your recent 5 months transplant! I am happy to hear you are taking good care of yourself. Which organ did you receive?

Congrats on your gift! I too had the Shingrix, quite a few years ago, but (don't ya know) first had shingles. One word: OW! And to make it worse, I was traveling with my husband who was attending a conference in Switzerland. As a surprise for me, after the conference, we boarded the TVG (high-speed train) for a vacation in Paris. On the train I started getting itchy. By the time our train pulled into the station, my first stop was at a place most tourists don't visit in Paris: the hospital! Definitely you want that Shingrix shot!
