I need to get one too-I have had shingles, and I got it from a little kiddo whose parent didn’t believe in vaccines. Apparently, I had a mild case as a baby so didn’t have enough immunity. I’m interested to see how your reaction is-I dread getting it. - ThreadSky

You’re not preachy, I’m a fervent believer in vaccines, my aunt had polio as a child that left her paralyzed so I always get mine as needed. I always react to the covid booster-I’m down for 2 or 3 days.I’ve heard that the shingles is worst than covid.So I’m apprehensive about the shot.
