HPN and the Shingrix vaccine: Has anyone had side effects from the vaccine?
Posted , 1 user is following.
I'm 67 and had shingles in 2013, and then developed PHN that continues today. Symptoms are minor now after acupuncture in 2018 pretty much kicked its butt.
But now my doctors are urging me to get the Shringrix vaccine. I certainly don't want to get shingles again, and I know the vaccine does not have any "live" virus in it (it's recombinant DNA type of vaccine). But I'm scared it might trigger another shingles attack, and that was the worst pain I've ever experienced (give me childbirth any old day over shingles pain!).
Anyone had reactions to the Shingrix vaccine? Thoughts?
Much appreciated--
Sue
