Ugh. Enough with the vaccines for me.

I remember those shingles shots as hurting a bit more than most.
I think the worst, for pain, is the one for tetanus. I am overdue for this one, … ugh.
The absolute worst for the aftereffects is those Lupron shots I have to get every six months for prostrate cancer. I have two more to go.
 

Which vaccine did you get? Zostavax has the live virus. Don’t take that one. It is only 50% effective.

The Shingrix vaccine has no virus so you can’t get it from the vaccine. It‘s 95% effective. Get the second one within 6 months..
 
I am on the waiting list for the shingles shot. Looks like next summer some time. I got my first pneumonia shot a few weeks ago and did notice a lot of stiffness in my arm for a few days. But the pharmacist told me it would happen.
 
Brings back memories when I entered the Army. We lined up and went through with doctors giving shots in both arms. Some guys were vomiting and a couple passed out. Arms hurt like hell for a couple days after. We were asked, before the shots, if anyone was allergic to eggs. Had to do something with the shots they received.
