re: #99 retired cynic

Looked it up: yes, Shingrix is the two shot version. The previous single shot was Zostavax, which is not as effective as Shingrix.

Shingrix lasts at least 4 years, and maybe longer. So boosters might be necessary. Ugh! I guess I’ll talk to my doctor.

I gather Shingrix really wipes you out. A FB friend commented that the 2nd shot was unpleasant but not as bad as the first shot. He suffered from aches, chills, and exhaustion. Given my first hand experience, I’d rather suffer that than shingles again.
