Shingles Vaccine.. Yay or Nay?
- Thread starter keenfish
- Start date
I did when I was around 10 or so. iirc it was a relatively jab new at the time?
Chicken pox parties were all the rage yet I never came down with them and I started to refuse to hang out with toddlers so I’d catch it so they gave me the jab instead.
Yes, you are. A total wanker.shingles vaccine sucks.
Shingles was worse.
I kept getting low level infections after my first major out break so it was a no brainer.
I has sores down my legs and all over my penis and a super hot young Vietnamese dr was checking it out and I started getting a boner when she was handling my wiener.
I'm a horny old creep.
What can I say?
I got the Shingles vax with no issue. I've know some friends who have contracted shingles and it sucks.
Wife and I got the shingles vaccine about 15 years ago. No after effects. No shingles to date. Got small pox, cholera, typhoid, typhus, tetanus, yellow fever, cholera, etc., decades ago and never got related diseases (I traveled heavily through SEA, Middle East, Latin America, Africa South and North of the Sahara, etc. etc. Vaccinations can be your friend if you believe the scientists are smarter than you! John
I got AIDs, syphilis, herpes versions 1, 2, 3 and 5, warts, scabies, crab lice, the clap, gonorrhea, diarrhea and hep a,b,c,d,e, and sometimes Y. After surviving I figured I'd done everything so I became a gardener.
But really, that's crazy. Those are some rare OG illnesses most of people in their 40s and even 50s were safe from. Small pox and yellow fever??!?!!
The army medics initially treated herpes 1,2,3,4,5,6,etc., etc. with small pox vaccines but I don’t think it helped. The army would give non-judicial punishment (Article 15) to soldiers with repeated VD infections… it actually stood up to appeals since the soldiers body belonged to Uncle Sam. Traveling through out 3d world countries in the 60s until retirement I took as few chances as possible with diseases. Bad enough being someone’s target on occasion.

That is called gonaherpasyphilitis. I had it once but the booze killed it straight away.
The AIDs is something else.
Agree…. I don’t want to get aids again. DuhThat is called gonaherpasyphilitis. I had it once but the booze killed it straight away.

I got my two shingles vaccines back in Nov. and Dec.
Kicked my ass both times but I recovered within 24 hours after receiving them.
It was worse when I went to bed. Hot/Cold sweats, body aches, headaches and lots of restlessness...couldn't sleep.
I got adult chicken pox in my mid 40's even though I was exposed to it numerous times in my youth.
A friend of mine had shingles and he was a miserable mess. After seeing that sh!t I sure as hell was going to
get the vaccine.

did you hafta drink a lotta booze or just pour it on the open sores ?That is called gonaherpasyphilitis. I had it once but the booze killed it straight away.

can you recommend a minimum proof ?
Anyone get it and use one of the anti-viral meds such as acyclovir, valacyclovir or famciclovir?
Last time I checked it was going to cost me about $160 for the vaccine.
Consumer reports says of the vaccine: The vaccine isn't foolproof, but for people aged 60 and older it reduces the risk of getting shingles by about 51 percent and, if you do get shingles, reduces the nerve pain it causes by close to 70 percent, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

You are avoiding because you have sense of how you will feel after the shot.
It's terrible.
But shingles is ten times more terribler.
