I know of quite a few people who have had this jab and they had no side effects whatsoever. Take it, you won't regret it. Shingles is a ghastly thing to get.
Yes Psybbo, I am 2 years younger than the age (70), but knowing someone who had shingles (at 62), I persisted as the doctor's receptionist didn't know what I was on about, and got a private prescription. Then I found a chemist who ordered the vaccine, he charged me £100 and then back to the surgery where the nurse was "allowed" to give me the jab. I have not had any side effects at all.
Hi Whirley, I was offered and accepted the shingles jab as I'd hit the magic milestone, no ill effects. I was asking on behalf of a few friends, 75, 80 and 83
