Do you have a source for the claim that covid vaccine or any other vaccine could lead to a flare up of shingles, other than the Israeli report of 5 immunocompromised women with autoimmune disorders?
It's not a personal decision. If you're vaccinated, wear a mask when you around people who aren't or might not be, until told you don't need to by competent scientific experts (I wrote "authority" but that freaks people out).
One recommendation is the 2 out of 3 rule. Any two of these 3--mask, outdoors, distance--is adequate. This is from Linsey Marr.

They are actually asking everyone that comes in to put the word out that they have about 1 thousand extra doses for today. They're already out of the fridge so must be used today. No appointments necessary, they don't care where you're from just come get jabbed.
I hope my county isn't topping out at ~40% vaxed.

Evidently both HSV-1 and HSV-2 are becoming less common and is mostly found in the 50+ population.
Just under half, 48 percent, of people aged 14 to 49 have herpes simplex 1, HSV-1, commonly known as the cold sore virus. By age 49, nearly 60 percent of people are infected, the NCHS, part of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, found. In 2000, more than 59 percent of people over 14 had the virus.
About 12 percent of people aged 14 to 49 have HSV-2, known widely as genital herpes. Only about 7 percent of teenagers are infected, but more than 21 percent of people over 40 are, the survey found.“When you see something that is not right, not just, not fair, you have a moral obligation to say something.

This is an interesting question. My doctor wants me to get a shingles vaccine. But they won't give you the vaccine until 18 days after your second covid-19 19 shot.
There is no accessable information I can find on the why of that rule.
There's obviously some data/ concern related to this. But I guess we the masse's don't need to read about it.
I think this is what pisses me off. My access to information being filtered.Own your fail. ~Jer~

It was my understanding that the point of vaccination was to reduce the spread and lessen the virulence of the actual disease. If everyone got da Covid as CS claims and no one got very sick it sounds like it is working
I have been in this State for 30 years and I am willing to admit that I am part of the problem.

Just had my 2nd shingles vax (shingrix) a few weeks after Pfizer #2. I felt a little worse for a little longer than after the Pfizers. Prob no real info/studies on the timing of the 2 vaxes so "out of an abundance of caution" they put an arbitrary waiting period in place.

This is what I was thinking. Those of you who have acquaintances that got covid after the vax, where the symptoms less severe? It in no way confers total immunity, but I believe the severity is supposed to dissipate, freeing up our hospitals.
Getting first stick later today.

Without an actual positive test, I'm calling bullshit on most covid stories.

CDC officially tracking roughly 6000 breakthrough cases where vaccinated individuals became positive outside of the 2-week post second shot window. CDC recognize that 6000 is likely inaccurate (low). Of those 6000, about 29% of those experienced no symptoms, while 7% were hospitalized and 74 people died. That's a 1% death rate although the breakthrough data was not delineated by age so that we can understand whether 1% is higher or lower than historical, non-vaccinated controls. Furthermore, breakthrough may represent cases of higher overall inoculum (initial exposure) which may therefore bias the outcome regardless of vaccination status.

My take-away from this is that 0.008% have been reported infections. I think that's a win and, over time, the number will reduce with more people getting vaccinated and squeeze the virus out through lack of finding a receptive host. While it likely is truly a higher percentage with many, many unreported cases (asymptomatic or very mild cases not tested), it still appears the vaccines are on track for doing what they're intended for.

Yeah, I think there's little doubt of that. Clinical trial data notwithstanding, the real world data from Israel using Pfizer is trending to a 90% reduction in infection rate comparing unvaccinated to vaccinated. Even if the vaccine didn't reduce mortality or infectivity (which it's believed it does) that's a huge win.

Just got Pfizer round 2 here in Teton Valley Idaho.
Seems like we are running out of people who want to be vaccinated here locally. There were way less people this time around.

- As of April 13, 2021, more than 75 million people in the United States had been fully vaccinated against COVID-19 since December 14, 2020.
- During the same time, CDC received 5,814 reports of vaccine breakthrough infections from 43 U.S. states and territories.
- Vaccine breakthrough infections were reported among people of all ages eligible for vaccination.
- 2,622 (45%) of the reported infections were among people ≥60 years of age.
- 3,752 (65%) of the people experiencing a breakthrough infection were female.
- 1,695 (29%) of the vaccine breakthrough infections were reported as asymptomatic.
- 396 (7%) people with breakthrough infections were known to be hospitalized and 74 (1%) died.
- Of the 396 hospitalized patients, 133 (34%) were reported as asymptomatic or hospitalized for a reason not related to COVID-19.
- Of the 74 fatal cases, 9 (12%) were reported as asymptomatic or the patient died due to a cause not related to COVID-19.
- Hospitalizations and deaths that are not a direct result of COVID-19 are still considered vaccine breakthrough cases if the person was fully vaccinated and subsequently tested positive for COVID-19.

From this morning's news:
Only 2 'breakthrough' infections among hundreds of fully vaccinated people, new study finds“When you see something that is not right, not just, not fair, you have a moral obligation to say something. To do something." Rep. John Lewis

Yeah I was amazed at the lack of people getting stuck this morning. There were only 3 people in there (other than my wife and I) and there are 10 shot spots. There was also nobody else coming in, for the 15 minutes we were in there only 2 people came in. Unless there's a dramatic shift in thinking I'm pretty sure my county will stay under 50% vaxed. The one bright spot was a guy in a maga hat came in as we were leaving.
3 hours since and damn my arm is sore. This time it's not where the jab was which is weird.

Got Pfizer round 2 yesterday morning. Felt a little off in the afternoon, some Advil made me feel better. Arm soreness increased going into the night, but I woke up this morning with no fever thankfully. I'm hoping that good luck lasts. Just a little flu-like body soreness and arm soreness (less than with the 1st shot) right now.
