As I read most of these posts, it appears that a couple of the people that had severe reactions als got the newer two shot shingles shot. I’ve had both the new shingles shots and this years flu shot. This years flu shot may have caused some minor soreness that night but no big deal. As regards those two shingles shots, with each, it was almost like getting the flu for a couple of days. Because the timing is on a set schedule, I got the second one because I didn’t want to have to retake the first one. Once again, I reacted the same way and felt like I had the flu for a couple of days. I guess shingles is worse. Doc said a reaction like that is rare but it hit me both times.

Sorry to hear about your family, Bobo. My point was simply that I had little or no side effects from the flu shot but as far as I’m concerned, that new 2 step Singles shot is nasty.

Doc says I should get it. I don't know.

The way they sold me on the second shot was their description of what shingles is like if you get it. I had an older lady that worked for me that got it on her face and near her eyes. It was pretty ugly so I took the second shot expecting I would not feel good for a couple of days. I was correct but I’m glad I got it. But again, the flu shot is nothing.

After being the sickest I have ever been as an adult with the flu in 1989, I get the shot.
A friend who worked through shingles strongly recommends getting the shingles shots. From what I saw, the shot reaction is greatly, greatly less painful than the real thing.

I've been getting the flu shot for years. Last time I had the flu was 1979.

...from what I can remember!
1. I've had the flu twice in my life
2. 2018
3. 2008 after getting a flu shot
4. All other years I never got the flu, and the only time I got a flu shot was in 2008.
5. I asked my ER doctor buddy about the flu shot, and about the "1" time I got a shot and it make me very ill.
He said, "Joe, you may have had symptoms of the flu, and it looked and felt like the flu, but you didn't get the flu from the shot."
What? What is the difference? It sure felt like flu "from" getting a flu shot.
I'll pass...

I got my already. I get the flu shot every year on my doctors orders, as I have had pneumonia 2 times and don't want to take any chances.

Get the flu shot every year. Earlier this year caught what they thought was a type b flu not covered by the vaccine. It wasn’t fun but I got over it with tamiflu.
Got my flu shot few weeks ago. Got the shingles shots last year. No issues.
To be determined
