I have been advised to have the
Shingrix
vaccine and I feel I should, but I'm quite scared of the possible side effects being older and immune compromised. Has anyone here had the vaccine and how did you tolerate it, please?

Shingrix
I have previously posted regarding my frustration at being unable to get the
Shingrix
vaccination on the NHS despite taking MTX at 20mg. I believe I would be eligible if I was on greater than 20mg as I am taking no other meds. I am 62 so also ineligible based on age.

Does anyone know how long you have to leave it after rutuximab before having the shingles vaccine. I had infusion in December & my GP has never offered this or the pneumonia jab so was going to chase this up. Tia

Shingles Jab
I noted that Lupus sufferers over 50 were supposed to be eligible for the
Shingrix
jab. However, after requesting one from the Surgery the receptionist said no. I did recently get the over 75s Covid booster without asking, courtesy of my immune system, , which I thought over the top.

Shingrix
3 Days ago I had my first
Shingrix
jab. By the evening I felt like I had bad indigestion and the last 2 days I have had very unpleasant upper body aching, mainly in the chest and upper arms. Has any body else experienced similar side effects or should I be concerned.

Flare after Shingrix shingles vaccine?
Hi Everyone, I received my second (recombinant) shingles vaccine yesterday. The first one caused a mild fever and malaise. This time my finger joints are stiff and pretty painful. Has anyone else had something similar and, if so, how long did it last? Thanks so much

A Shingrix thank you
Hi, I just wanted to thank so many of you who have spoken of your side effects with the second
Shingrix
, yet being worth it. It was when I recently read here that being only half vaccinated was still being open to Shingles that spurred me into getting the second one today, after 2 1/2 years.

Covid Vaccination
Having had the same problems with my second
Shingrix
vaccination, I wasn't surprised to have this happen. This time, it was my husband, who has never reacted before, was unwell with shaking and pain...although relatively mildly. I'm just wondering how others are responding.

Shingrix Vaccine
Hi, would just be interested in your views/advice please.I apparently had shingles years ago in my 30s I think, but I had no rash. And I believe I had chickenpox as a child. Would it be advisable for me to still have the vaccine please? Thanks.

Shingrix Second Dose
l had my second jab on Thursday. Side affects are not as bad as the first, but I spent most of the night awake with shivers, aches and a horrible headache. Better today (Friday) but I feel cold and aches. That vaccine generates a good immune response.

Shingrix Side Effects
I just had my second vaccine. Day two my side effects included: muscle pain where the injection went in, migraine, and nauseous. I didn’t have those symptoms after the first vaccine with the exception of the muscle pain. Today is day three. I’m only experiencing a sore muscle where the injection went

shingrix vaccine
Contacted my GP surgery to request my vaccine. The receptionist was adamant I was not eligible. Saying I would get it next year when I am 70. I explained the NHS had sent me a letter explaining I should get antivirals if I got Covid. Told her my condition and that I was taking steroids. She said my name
