I've had Shingles twice, once when I first met Anne Marie in 1970. (She moved in next door at the beach. I kept it a secret.) And again last year.

I have to wait 30ish days until I get the shingles shot.

Default Turns out I had it January of 2020, got my two shots.

I got a long delayed physical in November and my doctor had promised in a Tele-Doc call in the summer that we'd do the very accurate test when I came in.
I got the IGG test and it came back with raging antibodies.
So, turns out the incredible six-week coughing "virus" I had (went to four docs, they ALL said you don't have bronchitis, you "just" have a virus and have to wait for it to pass) in December 2019 and January 2020 was actually Covid-19 LONG before it was cool to get it. So I spent an entire year locked down, being super careful and I probably could have done anything I wanted!
A month ago I got my first Pfizer shot, upper body pain for a day or two and headache for several days. I NEVER get headaches.
Got my second shot on the 5th. Upper body real aches and pains for several days and a pretty bad headache and "fog" for a full week.
Remember to take your card to Staples before May 1 and get it laminated for free. It is your only proof for the time being. You might need it.

Yeah we think our middle Son & Mrs both had it last year but they are still getting the vaccine.

I'm curious about your Board Name IF you can explain it

I thought about getting the shingles vaccine at Costco when I first got here in July 2020 but I decided not to because I was planning on being here 2-3 weeks and did not think that I would be around to get the second vaccine. That was 9 months ago and I am still here. I guess that I should have gotten the vaccine back then.

My Son sent me a link to Why you SHOULDNT get your Vaccine Card Laminated, when we need the next booster ( and looks like we will ) they won't be able to fill it in on the next open line for Dates

Defiantly good idea to take a of your card and keep it in your files though!
