I got the second dose of the shingles vaccine yesterday. Does this one give me free 5G? Or just fatigue, body aches, and immunity from shingles?

I had shingles in my early 50s. It was agony. The Shingrix vaccine was tough, but nothing like shingles. I'm happy you've saved yourself!

My mom was hospitalized for shingles for extreme pain and uncontrollable blood pressure. Good for you!

My doc said straight out: wait until the outer limit of time between doses to get second one to avoid being sick. Her second dose slammed her harder than anything. Not out of bed for 6 days, etc, etc. I got shingles waiting for new free shingles vax to be set up. Brutal!! Get the vax!

You may feel like you have a fairly intense flu for 18-36 hours

I hope you feel better soon!! I’m getting my 2nd Shingles shot on Tuesday. 😬🤞 I had to keep putting it off because I didn’t have time to be (maybe) sick. Shingles #1 knocked me on my butt but I also got pneumonia shot at the same time so who knows which one did me in.

The free 5G will kick in when you're over the fatigue and body aches. It's a bonus on top of the immunity to shingles.

For me— flu like symptoms and a sore arm that lasted a long, long time! The 2nd was a no joke. Sorry- you are still going to have to buy cell service. 🤣

Yes, the only time I reacted to a shot was my second dose of the shingles vaccine. My arm was very sore for about a week. But I had a brief outbreak of shingles ( got on the antiviral in time so it didn’t really spread) and that was miserable!

Apparently reduced risk of stroke and heart attack by 20% tho. And also reduces risk of Alzheimer’s.

No but researchers determined recently that it can reduce your chance of getting Alzheimer’s by 20%!

I had zero side effects from the shots except a sore arm at the injection site. I have not noticed any increase in cell reception though.

I was promised the ability to fly but with the drone traffic, I can't. Yeah it was a tad more annoying than the first one. It goes away though. I knew a lady who suffered from shingles. It was terrible for her.

When I took it 3 years ago I had the worst reaction the Day after the 1st shot - dizziness, body aches, I didn't want to eat. The second shot a couple of weeks later was fine. I've had friends who've suffered from Shingles and their pain was beyond agonizing. I wouldn't wish it on anyone.
