  1. The 2nd shingles vaccination happens 2-6 months after the first. The copay is $291. I have no coverage for the Shingrix inoculation so blah for retail pricing when the prices are jacked up because the insurance companies will pay. 🙄 Anyway, not experiencing much in the way of symptoms yet.

    I was informed that the new flu vaccine formula should arrive "after Labor Day," and that the Moderna vaccine, available around then, should be their latest-and-greatest.

  2. UPDATE:

    was basically flat on my back most of yesterday and just woke up. haven’t slept this much in a while, so i guess, beside being immunized against the body horrors of #shingles, the extra sleep is totally worth it.

    folks, if you’re 50 or older, get your #Shingrix #vaccines.

    remember: taking care of our health is revolutionary praxis.

  3. Hey GenX... put on your big boy pants & get your damned Shingrix shots.

  4. the study about #Shingrix protecting from the brain decay of #Alzheimer's #dementia was done at Oxford University and, interesting enough, the benefit was more conclusive in women:

  5. On the second day of #Shingrix, my vaccine gave to me....
    One sore arm,
    And full body sweats and aches.

    I think it's almost done, though. Don't let my journaling of this stop you from getting the shot, it's worth it for the amazing benefits.

  6. I had my second shingrix (shingles) vaccine yesterday and I'm feeling terrible. I felt bad after the first one buy this is worse. I'd hot rather blase about vaccines as I've never had any issues with others, flu, covid, etc. I'm sitting indoors and shivering with a coat on, and my tracker watch keeps giving me abnormal heart rate warnings.

    If its like the first one it should be mostly over by tomorrow, on day 3 I just felt a bit weak.

  9. har bokat tid för Shingrix bältrosvaccin

    Sköterskan jag pratade med sa flera ggr hur dyrt det är

    Har samhället räknat på att bekosta detta för alla? (ärlig fråga, gissar att bältros inte har jättestora direkta kostnader, men vad vet jag)

  10. Have you had the Shingles vaccine? If you’ve had the Shingles vaccine (and/or RSV vax) then you may have given yourself a dementia preventative. #isogg #dna #shingles #shingrix #RSV #epigenetics #geneadons #vaccine sciencealert.com/huge-study-re

  11. Figured I'd get up to date on my shots before things get busy for the fall. With my health plan, we have zero copays for the #shingles and #pneumonia vaccines!

  14. I'm the polar opposite of anti-vaxx. I'm a #VaxxtotheMax person.

    I started nursing in the mid-70's & we were vaxxed for everything known to mankind. Felt a bit crook after the #smallpox but otherwise, not a problem.

    Have had 7 #COVID19 vaxx without an issue (haven't had COVID as far as I know).

    One #Shingles vaccine & 6 months to the day later, still suffering the side effects.

    If you're considering #Shingrix please talk to your doc about side effects.

  15. I'm glad I got the #Shingles vaccine before #RFK starts banning it or doing something even more stupid...
    ...but man, those 2 doses indeed took me out for a solid 48hrs with fever/flu-like symptoms. Fortunately it cleared up on day 3 like clockwork. Highly, highly recommend getting it.

  16. Tip: misschien dat Shingrix gezamenlijk inkopen met Duitsland, Frankrijk en VK (in combinatie met de toenemende vergrijzing) tot dezelfde beleidsmatige uitkomst in Nederland leidt. Want daar is het blijkbaar wèl kosteneffectief.

    “Voorkomen via vaccins is de effectiefste optie. In onder meer Duitsland, Frankrijk en het Verenigd Koninkrijk worden de vaccins wel vergoed.”

  17. Singles and pneumonia shots today. I did not know that if you've had shingles before, there is a 30% higher risk for stroke/heart attack. I had shingles as a teen, as did my youngest daughter. So, the old vaccine didn't address the cardiovascular threat. The new one does. Even if you've had the old vaccine, get the new one. Shingles can also cause blindness. Don't ignore it, folks. (Boost please!)

  18. @augieray

    I'm fully vaxxed. I haven't had #COVID19 as far as I'm aware (but of course, I might have...). Just spent a week in a cardiac unit with atypical chest pain, sinus tachy on slightest exertion and at rest, and some other symptoms. Clear for PE, echo normal, no ECG changes, no troponin rise, normal coronary arteries.

    The medical team never asked if I'd had COVID, never even mentioned it.

    (I had, however, recently had the #Shingrix vaccine, which looks like it might be the cause.)

  19. #HealthMastodon

    I'm keen to hear from anyone who has had the #Shingrix vaccine to prevent #shingles. I'm specifically after any information you're willing to share about side effects, particularly any relating to heart issues.

    Thanks so much in advance. If you'd like to communicate via private mentions, please do.

  21. Soreness is nearly all gone. I have a slightly swollen pink blotch still, at the vaccination site. It's warm to the touch and slightly itchy. And is slowly fading. So seems like that's the worst of it for this one. Shall see if the second in a few months time is like this.
