Health

So I won’t say that.

75 years old, got both shots within the past 18 months because I got shingles late in October 4 years ago. In my eye. 🤬 Luckily I did not loose my vision but it was touch and go for a bit. I wasn’t released from the ophthalmologist’s care until this past spring. That’s how long it took to make sure everything was healed and good to go.

The first shot was fine. 2nd shot - glad I had cleared my calendar because I was very tired. So tired Zeus Dog didn’t get his walks. He survived 😄. 24 hours later I was 100% fine. FWIW - I live alone so I made sure I had some creature comforts in place and a couple of meals prepped if needed.

Go get the shot. Worst part is the anticipation (this from a person who has passed out after a TB test injection and does suffer from anxiety about shots) Give yourself permission to do nothing afterwards. This vaccine is part of what we seniors need to stay as healthy and active as possible. Think about what shingles side effect did to Diane Feinstein.
