Loading ...Recent Doctor Visit
I had my bi-annual physical last week and found it interesting that my GP did not ask if I had been vaccinated (I am not) nor did he ask if I ever had covid (I had it in Jan 2022). I’m sure he knows my vaccination status through some medical database, but he did not say a word about it. Masks are still a requirement in his office here in Ohio; however, the hospital in Indiana that my FIL was in recently has dropped their mask requirement. My doctor did try to talk me into the “new and improved” shingles shot, but I declined it.
TS – imo you made a good choice to not take the shingles shot!
I wasn’t as smart and had the shots (they come in two injections) about 3 years ago.
Since then, there hasn’t been a single day where my injection site is not fiery red and itchy. It never calms down or goes away. I’ve tried every type of salve and ointment to tame this beast without success.
I would NEVER have taken it if I had known then what it would be like. This was well before the COVID scam
Yes, he did explain that it was a two shot series and that there “could” be side effects. He advised taking the shots on a Friday, just in case. I didn’t really know much about it so that was why I declined it.
