Reply to Faith3: no that is not the case at all - and if you had the non-live Shringrx you should have had two jabs with a gap of between 1 and 6 months for full protection of well over 95%. If you only had one then you would not have full protection after about 6/12 months. Even if people do somehow get shingles after being vaccinated, then the cahnces of it being serious is very much reduced. Maybe you had the earlier live vaccine which required just one jab but wasn't as effective.

I had the vaccine and had no issues. My doctor recommended getting all the vaccines I possibly.

The shingles vaccine (Shingrix®) provides effective protection (approximately 90%) against shingles and long-term nerve pain. It consists of two doses, given 2-6 months apart. Starting in 2027, the vaccine will be offered to people aged 60 and over in the Netherlands through the National Vaccination Program.

I get all my doctor recommended vaccines, and had the two shingles vaccines a few years back. I had not been sold on the need for it, but trusted my PCP who urged me to get it. The pharmacist who administered it told me they’d had an unvaccinated patient who got shingles in their eyes and it blinded him. The shingles vaccines are one time, so don’t have to be repeated every year. All the vaccines leave a day or so of discomfort in their wake, but feel my immunocompromised self is more protected so just suffer thru it.

I've been vaccinated and haven't had any problems, except for the discomfort of the reaction to the vaccine.
