Does the study cover all of the people who GET shingles AFTER getting the shingles jab? I'm guessing the answer is NO.

No, because both studies are completely unrelated. But even if there's a chance I'll get a mild case of shingles (chickenpox) I will take this any day over a stroke or heart attack. How about you?

I've done very well avoiding shots during my lifetime. I'll just go with what works for me. My wife and most of my friends got the Shingles vax obviously I hope for the best.

I have a good shingles vaccine story for you!

I had a doctor's appointment for a checkup and my NP asked if I had taken the shingle's vaccine. I told her I had shingles once before years ago and it was a very small case on my back near my shoulder, and I just took the Valtrex and it went away. No big deal. She recommended I ask my transplant doctor about taking it because of my anti-rejection meds. I told her I had an appointment the next week and I would do that.

The next day, I went to get my hair cut and the stylist's comb was really hurting my head. She looked and said, she didn't see any reason for it. The next morning my scalp itched but only on my left side and behind my ear. Then I started developing blisters on the top of my ear and behind it. I had a full blown case of shingles on the left side of my head. I could not stand to have anything touch the left side of my head and I had a headache like after you get your bell rung playing football.

By that time, my appointment was the next day. My wife called the transplant doctor, and he called in a prescription for me to start taking. When I went to my appointment, I walked in, showed him my ear and he said, "Yes, you were right!" It went away completely with the medication in a few days.

I started the transplant shots about a month later and have had no further problems.

Unfortunately, dumb luck isn't a strategy when you have to consider health choices. Good luck to you i guess, you'll need it.

What seems dumb to me is taking vaccines that make you sick and don't protect you from getting the virus or disease for which they were intended. You would be lucky to have my medical history so save your clueless insults for someone else.

You know what seems even dumber? Playing Russian roulette with your health for literally no reason because of some irrational fear of vaccines, doctors and medicine you've built up in your head over decades.

These are the famous last words of people who are currently dying right now. Everyone claims how healthy they are, until they are not.

Shingles corrupts your immune system so badly many people who go through it then end up getting cancer... and dying from it.... Singles is no joke... talk to your doctor...
