She’s never mentioned this before and I see the new shingles vaccine arrived in 2017. Quick search tells me they got rid of the old vaccine and this new one has some nasty side effects. Also I see some info about the Covid vaccine possibly causing shingles in some people? The conversation was about vaccines, she asked me if I’m totally against vaccines or just Covid vaccine. I told her I want to wait and see on the Covid. Then she brought up the Shingles vax. It kind of felt like……if we can’t get them to take the Covid vax, let’s see if they’ll take the Shingles vax…….
Edit: based on responses, could the shingles vaccine be a contributing factor to those who died with/from covid? How many who died from Covid also had the shingles vaccine? It’s for people over 60 so would be a similar demographic.
Not sure this is true. Our body has immunity to shingles. Covid Vaccine can cause you to lose that immune memory and then you will be susceptible to shingles next time you catch it. However if you did not get vaccinated, afaik the shedded spike proteins that enter via airways and skin will not make it intact to lymph nodes causing ur immune system to be attacked.
