shingles vaccine during treatment

shingles vaccine during treatment

i have tried unsuccessfully to get shingles vaccine before treatment here in ct. it is not as ez as u would think. i am wondering if it is now too late as the tx may cause other issues. one of my close friends just got shingles this week and she is miserable so this got my attention again. i know over 60, the risk is higher and with immune system compromised this elevates risk. any thoughts?

I wouldn't take it during treatment because can cause you to get the shingles...and during treatment you're immunocompromised.

I wouldn't have known the details Babs but if anybody knows it's CoWriter.............I'd take the advice and run, you are lucky you didn't get the vaccine!
