I got the single dose shingles shot many years ago. Then the doctor said the new two shot vaccine is the thing to get, so I did.
A couple of years ago I had a very sore area on my stomach, next to my navel, about the size of my hand. It was weird in that the sheet touching it was painful, yet if I laid my hand on the area it did not really hurt.
There was no rash or evidence of anything on the surface. I saw my doctor and he said sometimes shingles can be under the skin, and on the dermis layer. It was several months of discomfort, but not too bad. The Doc speculated the vaccine has spared me a severe shingles attack.
My mom got shingles, and she said it was at least twice as painful as childbirth. I sure don't want that pain.
