Drs automatically give shingle vaccines when you reach a certain age. Please be aware if you never had chickenpox you don’t need the shingles vaccine as shingles is a secondary virus from chickenpox. I never had chickenpox so I got the chickenpox vaccine and a new PCP. I do my own research and then discuss it with my neurologist and oncologist before I do anything. Best wishes for you all.

I’ve had both vaccines recently. No reactions except a little soreness at the injection site, more with the second injection.
