Got my flu, covid, and first of two shingles shots a couple days ago.

Both by parents have had shingles at some point, and that was enough of a reason for me to get it as soon as it was covered. I’ll get the second (and RSV) in a few months.

My mom has had shingles twice. As soon as I qualified, I was there to get the shot.

I had a very mild case of shingles despite being vaccinated. That mild case was MISERABLE! I’m so glad I didn’t have to experience a severe case. That vaccination is well worth it.
