Never understood why folks get Shingles vaccines? Varicella Zoster has no cure, is self limiting and does not leave the body. No cure for Chicken Pox why would anyone believe a vaccine is a cure for Shingles. I know so many people that have taken the double boost Shingles vaccine and still got it. Seems the anti-viral may be a better option if you get it.

I had the same experience. Small area that responded well to acyclovir. Itchy for a few days and that was it. I think the key was to get on acyclovir quickly.
