[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you've had shingles, do you still need the vaccine when you're older? I had it when I was 36 (so nearly 10 years ago), which I found so odd because I didn't think young people got it, but I had it after a miscarriage and my doctor thought it was brought on by stress. Truly awful. I'd get the vaccine in the heartbeat. Can't be worse than the virus itself. [/quote] If you've had shingles, you most definitely need the vaccine. Just to add to the anecdata collection, I had shingrix with nothing beyond a sore arm. [/quote] When I had it (6 months after getting the old vaccine) I assumed it was a once and done thing, but the nurse told me she's had it 3 times (she was 50-ish), and I have met other people, several of them under 60 and one in her early 40s, who have had repeated episodes. The one in her 40s, last I heard, was still fighting to get shingrix, but she worked in my building and haven't seen her since March 2020. [/quote]
