As for the Shingrix, got that last year after speaking to a woman I know who got Shingles. She said it was so painful that she cut off her hair! The only issue I had was that you're supposed to get the second shot within 6 months of the first - and since the pandemic hit right after I got shot #1, Walgreens suspended giving vaccines, so I just got shot #2 just in time. I also got the flu vaccine last year, though they said that flu cases were way down last season. This pandemic is turning all of us into vaccine "collectors!"
