    My father had it, and I’ve known a fair number of people who’ve also had it, including one who almost had eye involvement. It’s horrible.https://twitter.com/SandySue1958/status/1366028474796945414 …

    I’m pro vaccine but why the sudden push in the shingles vaccine? I personally don’t know anyone who’s ever had it. Thoughts?

        I do love the fallacy of, “It hasn’t personally affected me or anyone I know, so it must not be a problem.” So much like #COVID19 deniers and minimizers.🙄

        I had it too, but luckily mine was mild.

        My grandmother had it decades ago way before a vaccine. She was living with us at the time and I remember huddling in my room with my sister as we heard her crying and moaning all night. It’s awful.

        I know tons of people who’ve had it; some young. Interviewed one woman with permanent postherpetic neuralgia from it.

        I had it - it felt like being branded, day after day, night after night, for more than a week. Ten years later, I still have a scar that's uncomfortable to touch.
