Who all had had the Shingles vaccine?

Just had the over 63 Influenza vaccine, my arm is really sore. RSV Virus injection is being advertised on the TV here for the over
80's. I thought it was just another ad but ended up getting it and it turned into pneumonia. Just got the all clear from the doctor. It was quite vicious as it attacks the lungs. Thank goodness for antibiotics and puffers. I urge all over 80's to get it.
 
I didn't know they had shots for it nor that it was so bad. Got it last year. The doctor had no time to pick up the phone. You got an automatic message with we're very busy and there are not enough doctors now, so I asked dr Google and fixed it with tigerbalm when the worst pain was gone. Then it hurts insane for a moment but then it almost leaves. My nephew was in the hospital for it for a week.


Tiger Balm: Rules for Use NEVER apply to active blisters or broken skin: Tiger Balm contains camphor and menthol, which will severely irritate, burn, or damage open shingles lesions.

Wait until healed: Only use it after the rash has completely crusted over and the skin is entirely healed.How it works: When applied to healed skin, the menthol and camphor provide a cooling/warming sensation that distracts the brain from processing the nerve pain.
 
Had both of mine last year, good for life now unless something changes in the future.
2nd one did have my arm tender for about 2 days, not bad though.
