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
draNgNon@kimu my reaction was super bad, fever and overnight shakes and shudders, but I know people who have gotten shingles. A couple nights of fever and shakes, far preferable to shingles and its lifetime effects.
