Shingtrix - yay or nay?

Posted , 7 users are following.

(Sorry for misspelling - the vaccine name is Shingrix.)

I read all the discussions about it in here.

Among people who clearly stated their outcome;

-3 reported signs of having been cured, weeks after taking the vaccine.

-4 reported no reduction in shingle outbreaks.

-2 reported heavy side effects for weeks.

Please add your thoughts if you have taken the vaccine.

    I am a 52 year old female. I had my first shingles outbreak 2 years ago. I received the Shingrix vaccine last year and it has helped but, this year I have had 3 outbreaks 2 on my leg where the original outbreak happened and one on my face very close to my eye! However, they are much less severe than my first outbreak and I don't have any nerve pain. I also suffer from anxiety and depression so I notice when I am under a lot of stress that's when it seems to happen to me.
