Shingles

Something to ask your doctor, Dave...
I don't mean to shit all over your plans, but I'm concerned that the vaccine won't do any good. It's more concerning that your immune system isn't able to reliably contain the shingles outbreaks even though each outbreak should be raising your defenses to the virus.
The purpose of the vaccine is to raise an immune response against the virus so if it reactivates you can clear it much faster.
If you are constantly having shingles outbreaks, your immune system is already aware of the virus and mounting a defense to them already. It's just not able to shut down the reactivation fast enough.

Did you read it fully? It's also 25 years oldThe impact of physician bonuses, enhanced fees, and feedback on childhood immunization coverage rates - PMC
OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects on immunization coverage of 3 incentives for physicians--a cash bonus for practice--wide increases, enhanced fee for service, and feedback. METHODS: Incentives were applied at 4-month ...www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
Emphasis mine
So Bonuses lead to better documentation on children receiving on time (age related) immunizations that covered all the nasty bugs we've all but eliminated in the 20th century in the developed world.
Not sure how you're making an argument for anything here.
I believe it is more of a word/name issue. Like hearing "militia" people get standoffish. When in reality, it is an organization that answers to the governor. It has just picked up a bad name over the years of radicals. Much like the word vaccine/vaccination.

Get a recurve!!!
Seriously Dave I hate you're going through this! My friend Brent had a out break a few years back. Got a shot from his doctor and it hasn't returned

He loves it. You’d think, once you’ve had it you’d get the vaccination. This the second go round? Get well soon little buddy.
3rd...and I'm not 50. Can't just walk in and fet it anywhere. But, I did find out that the VA will give it to me, so that is scheduled.

My wife said she had to wait 60 days after her outbreak to get the vaccine. It’s two shots…an initial and a booster. Walmart and Urgent care will do it. Check with your doctor, you may need a prescription.
September 27th the VA will administer the first of 2 shots.

I made a mistake yesterday and stressed my body out again. Miserable
I had to cancel this. Now I need to remember to call them tomorrow and reschedule.
Ok at my annual physical yesterday, got the first shingles shot yesterday, Doctor said you haven't had a tetanus booster in 12 years, you wanna go ahead and to that also.
Stupid me say sure why not, now after 24 hours both arms are killing me and I am running a fever.
Ugh glad it is the weekend.
On a positive note, blood pressure was normal.

Yeah, I spent over 3 decades as a pin cushion. Now when/if I take a vaccine it’s on my terms and one at a time….
The shingles vaccine has a little kick too it and I’d never recommend multiple with that one.
But for what it’s worth, never, and I mean never get a typhoid and cholera shot together!
I would normally agree but not with shingles, my wife's doctor know 2 people in the medical field personally that got shingles, in one case it attacked the nerves in their arm and they had to retire from being an ER nurse, the other it attacked their ear and they have severe vertigo for 9 months
And don’t let it get on your face, that’ll wreak a whole new level of pain….
Also have a buddy who’s dealing with the nerve damage from his bout of shingles. Got it at the the same he was recovering from shoulder replacement surgery…. It’s been 5 months and still has the pain.
