My dad relatively healthy got Shingles in his early sixty's he suffered some nerve damage in his hands.
The vaccine for Shingles is considered 90% effective.
Did your kid's get all their shots when they were kid's?

They are pretty sure it is not connected but they have stopped to make sure. This can happen with any new drugs.
Can I assume everyone on here who is against vaccines also refuses to take any medicines such as pills for Chlorestrol, Diabetes or anything else?
If you do take them or any medicines then why? Also if you did have a heart attack, I guess you would refuse to go to a hospital as you feel they are all quacks.
Did your kids all get vaccinated and your grand kids?

The only thing a fast track vaccine will cure you of is fear itself...lol

Getting my flu shot to morrow. .. at 74 I guess I'm considered "elderly".
Just hope I don't get the Covid while I'm waiting in line.
( Had shingles - not fun.)
(IF you are old the pneumococcus vaccine is a good idea too.)

Definitely a good idea...I got the shingles and pneumococcus vaccines after I turned 60..just makes sense. I've seen what shingles does...not going to happen if I have options to prevent it.

Has too much time on their hands
Well I know I will likely get the flue shot first chance I can, my Doctor is absolutely recommending it this year (unlike other years) and given his comments on the LIbErals in the past, he seems to like reality so I would trust him!

I'm no anti-vaccer at all. Yes I sure do use drugs medication for better quality of life. I'm sure there will many vaccines to pick from, the first choices will prolly come from China. If I've already had Covid and not so afraid of it, why the hell would I take a vaccine thats been fast tracked to approval? Maybe I just wear a mask instead because thats whats keeping us safe now..lol

Mosq you had to find a way to get politics, and your political view , into a flu shot thread didn’t you. Why ? Just trying to stir the pot I suppose.
