| I got my flu shot and TDAP yesterday, as my daughter will deliver our first grandchild any day now. I had the pneumonia shot more than a year ago, and shingles not long after. I've had no issues with any of them, including the shingles vaccine. |

Why do you think getting the shingles vaccine will give you protection but actually having shingles will not give you protection. Both produce an immune response that produces antibodies. The vaccine mimics the actual disease. If the actual disease immune response will not keep you from getting it again, how can the vaccine keep you from getting it again. I don't understand this.

If I don't get the flu shot, I'm guaranteed to get the flu several times in a season. With the shot, maybe a very mild case once. My wife is at high risk for Pneumonia and has had it several times over the years, until I started getting the shot. She has an issue with needles. Pull one out, and she passes out. I own a ranch; the Tetanus booster is just plain smart. |

The next 2 times I had it I got on Valtrex right away and it was easy to deal with. I will continue with Valtrex over the shingles vaccine. Some of you guys must have low pain tolerances. |
