Last week, my wonderful wife returned from the pharmacy and stated that she was thinking about getting the Shingles vaccine. I thought that was a bit alarmist, but possibly prudent for the frail folks at the rest home. So, I pooh-poohed my loving spouse's suggestion. I was more concerned about the persistent patch of Poison Ivy on left hand and right forearm. The blessing of yard work. Old Forum Orphan |

[the shingles vaccine contains a live but weakened version of virus]
Zitat von Paul B im Beitrag #5 Nope. She didn't get the vaccine, yet. Being that I had Chicken Pox as a kid (Somewhere there's a photo of a 4 year-old 36654 standing in front of a 1950's era refrigerator proudly showing a belly full of Chicken Pox blisters. It's one of two pictures from my childhood. Being the last of four kids, the novelty of talking pictures of the kids, is pretty much gone when you grow-up.) I'm already a carrier of the virus.

I had the original injection for shingles and plan to get the new two-stage vaccine as soon as the waiting list shortens a bit. I have had a bout with this virus before and don't wish to deal with it again. It is often triggered by stress, so exercise and quality rest often prevent symptoms, but I recommend the vaccine. A woman I worked with got a case on her head and face. The poor thing was in physical and emotional pain for weeks...
