kimuAn occasional reminder that if you’re 50 or older and haven’t gotten two doses of the shingles vaccine, this is an effective vaccine that helps to prevent an extremely painful and potentially debilitating disease. While the vaccine gets a bad rap for being rough to deal with (not my experience, personally), literally every person I know who has had shingles has talked about getting shingles being really horrible. https://www.npr.org/2026/04/06/nx-s1-5745209/shingles-symptoms-vaccine-treatment
Blake Fox@kimu cautionary tale is shingles can cause blindness if near your eyes. Pharmacy’s are required to carry medicine to keep it from happening. But when my husband needed it, only one out of all the pharmacies in the state carried it.
