Got my vax. Not a lot of fun but I REALLY don’t want shingles at some inconvenient time. Very 1st world of me.

Americans needs to be prepared to cross the border for new vaccines and updates.

Ok, but you need two jabs to ward off Shingles, itself. Don’t forget your booster!

Spent the weekend suffering through my first dose..

Still better than actually having shingles

mrsblocking.bsky.social•4 days ago

I know!! The second (for me) was nothing compared to the first. Three days of pain!!!

Are the side effects that bad? I’m planning on getting mine done sometime soon.

logiclust.bsky.social•4 days ago

Depends on the person. Think of it like the covid shot

Ok thanks I appreciate the feedback.

I got my shot and I suffered no side effects or feces in it like Robert Kennedy Jr. claimed. Here is some food for thought, RK jr had all his shots plus’s by the look of the track marks on his arms it leads one to believe he didn’t give a rats ass back then.
