It does not go along my ribs.
Can you get shingles even if you have the vaccine.
My right breast is starting to itch.
My husband said because i had the shingles vaccine didn t mean that i would not get them.
If you have shingles right now you should wait until the rash is gone before you get vaccinated.
Shingrix is a nonliving vaccine made of a virus component.
A vaccine called zostavax reduces the likelihood of developing shingles by 51 percent.
It may help prevent you having another bout of shingles later on.
It lowers your chances of getting shingles by about 50 and your odds of long term nerve damage by about 67.
Thank you for responding to my question.
There is no specific length of time you must wait after having shingles before receiving shingles vaccine but generally you should make sure the shingles rash has disappeared before getting vaccinated.
In 2017 a second vaccine known as shingrix rzv was approved.
I just pray it is not cancer of any kind.
Even if you have had shingles you can still receive shingles vaccine to help prevent future occurrences of the disease.
Shingrix protection remained high more than 85 in people 70 years and older throughout the four years following vaccination.
Also consider getting the shingrix vaccine if you ve had the zostavax vaccine or if you don t know whether you ve had chickenpox.
And for those who get shingles anyway the vaccine cuts the risk for lingering nerve pain by 67 percent.
And if you do get shingles you may.
Zostavax is a live vaccine given as a single injection usually in the upper arm.
You may get the shingrix vaccine even if you ve already had shingles.
It would just be easier on me.
Since your risk of shingles and phn increases as you get older it is important to have strong protection against shingles in your older years.
Kmama thank you so much for your input.
You can still get shingles after being vaccinated just like with the flu but if you do the vaccine usually decreases the severity of the illness dr.
