[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've had shingles twice and have looked but found no research on whether it makes sense to get the vaccine. Clearly I already carry the virus. [/quote] You already carried the virus before you got shingles, [b]it's the chicken pox virus which you were exposed to as a child.[/b] And yes, the answer is that it is worth getting the vaccine even if you've already had shingles. I've spoken about this with more than one doctor as I cared for elder patients who suffered shingles and were encouraged to get the vaccine, which will reduce the risk of a recurrence and reduce the severity of disease - just like influenza, covid and other vaccines do.[/quote] NP with a fun fact. I didn’t catch chicken pox until age 30, from, we later realized, a little blonde girl on the train from Stockholm to Oslo. Yes, I have gotten both shingles vaccines.[/quote]
