Got my shingles vaccination
| Thu, 01-22-2009 - 6:25pm |
After seeing how miserable DH was with shingles a few years, I got the shot today. It's recommended for folks over 60. Sure glad I'm on Medicare now, because my insurance with old job would only cover a small portion of the procedure. List price is over $200. So far, no side effects, so I'm hoping to get by with just a tender arm.

Yep, one more thing to cross off my worry list. DH had it on his face and it affected the skin under one eye, which droops when he is tired. BTW - I had absolutely no reaction. Surprising for me, because I always got sick after flu shots, so don't take them anymore. But we did get the pneumonia vaccine a while back.

Have a great weekend.

I had shingles about 13 years ago, and I waited until the 3rd day before going to the dr. because the pain just got so excruciating, and the dr. said I should have come in earlier.
