Have had the single dose years ago and the Shingrex double dose a couple of years ago. Made the mistake of getting pneumonia shot at my Primary and going straight to Walgreen's to pick up a script and decided to do round 1 of Shingrex in same arm while I was there. BIG MISTAKE. I could barely move my arm for a few days but no major reaction otherwise. 2nd shot was no big deal.
Watched my mother go thru shingles twice and a few days of a sore shoulder beats the snot out of having shingles, At least in my book. And, the cost, if insurance doesn't cover it, is less than an office co-pay and all the meds to treat it.
