I love these stories that start with "My neighbor's aunt got the vaccine and her left hand turned into a cucumber", or "My great uncle was in a car crash and he would have died if he was wearing a seatbelt, so I never wear one".
I was an ER doc for 40 years. I have seen disseminated zoster (shingles over the whole body) and post-herpetic neuralgia (permanent damage to the nerve, so the rash area is forever on fire). I got the early vaccine and more recently the two-part vaccine. I've also received the 3 part hepatitis vaccine, 2 part pneumonia vaccine, TDAP (tetanus diptheria and pertussis), meningitis, yearly influenza and hopefully soon a Corona vaccine.
But hey, what do I know? I don't really care if anyone else gets the shingles vaccine, because they can't infect anyone else. Only they will suffer when they get it (remember 1 in 3). They will only have themselves to blame.
It's a free country. Do what you want. But choose based on facts, not anecdotes.

About Us

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
