lcscats Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 As with all vaccines check the effectiveness and what the chances are you will get shingles. It is a very expensive shot. Not making judgement just stating facts. Also had shingles when I was 18 (very rare) and I know they hurt as I still have the scars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtLast Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 Please be aware that once you have had shingles that they will not recur, is a myth. Some individuals are susceptible to having shingles more than once in their lifetime. This is especially true if your event was long lasting or very painful. I would recommend the shingles vaccine even if you have previously had shingles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garmemorial Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 I am just getting over shingles after 2 months. Get the vaccine. Shingles is very PAINFUL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k2tog Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 Maskaras Clinic in Riberas also has the Shingles Vaccine available. You don't have to make an appointment for the shot -- there is an RN there 24/7 and she administers the shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wookie Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 I think though if I decided to have the vaccine, I would first make an appointment with a qualified doctor and discuss my health issues first. There might be something that would come out of that discussion that might influence my opinion. The shot is approximately $150.00 U.S. The doctor's visit about $30.00 U.S. depending.
