We got it a few years ago , only thing affected was our wallet , it was very expensive and no Medicare coverage back then .

I had my 2 Shingrix and both times got a low fever for one day, much better than getting shingles !!!

I had both shots and both times did not feel good and sore arm.   I have had shingles too but before the shot.   I would do it again but wouldn't like it.

@judianne  I almost got the Shingrix vaccines last year but then it was announced that as of Jan. 1 this year there would be no co-pay. Glad I waited.

I had them last year. First shot my arm was sore and felt a bit like the flu. The second shot I had a headache that would not go away. I slept alot because my headache. The next day I was fine.

I had my first Shingrex shot a couple of months ago and will be getting the second next month.  The first night I had chills for several hours and my arm was sore for a few days afterwards.  That's it.

Cost was completely covered by Medicare Part D.

I got the old vaccine for shingles about 10 years ago and don't remember any reaction last year after getting the shingrix vaccine I was pretty tired for a day or two after.

My husband got shingles years ago so I have stayed on top of the vaccine, shingles was no picnic.

I did have a reaction-- flu like, as others mentioned-- to the first shot.  When I got the 2nd, I didn't have a reaction.  

I definitely think it was worth it.  If you have ever seen a bad shingles breakout, this little passing flu was nothing.
