I got both vaccine shots for shingles and outside of a sore arm for about 12 hours and a mild flu like symptoms for 6 hours, I had no major reaction. Both my PCP and neurologist demanded I get them. Because our autoimmune system is already compromised, any help we can get to reduce or even eliminate the shingles altogether is a win for us. As mentioned by others, refer to your own medical team and first.

Hello again dear Brinda! I did receive the shingles vaccine in 2019 and the doctor thinks it actually exacerbated my MG symptoms. So I did not receive the 2nd dose. I really believe vaccines are unpredictable with people suffering from MG.

My Neuro told me NO Vaccinations ! Especially ones that are a live virus. As always, listen to your Dr. and then make your own informed decision.

Goodness, I do not want another vaccine of anything .Had shingles years ago and that was more than enough pain for a long time. I am about “vaccined” out for the time being.

I got mine. I had shingles a few years ago and you can get it again. Yes, you need it.
