Shingrix Vaccine

Is there anybody on here getting the Shingrix vaccine for shingles? I have had a request to find out how much the Shingrix vaccine is for private patients in Spain? Many thanks

Bee,
I can't answer the question regarding vaccine cost but a few years ago i had shingles & the meds, including an injection & tablets cost circa 200 euros. Dr Ballester at the Quesada medical centre said "we need to act quickly" so cost,for me, didn't come into it.
Regards,
Dave

Thanks Dave. Yes the vaccine is a lifesaver seemingly for those who suffer with this painful disease. It is probably available free on the Spanish Health System €568 was what was quoted in Ireland for 2 doses of the vaccine. It is not available on the Health Service.

My husband ‘s cousin got Shingles last year ( they live in Spain). Vaccine not freely available in Spain but she did get good medication and got well quite quickly. Everyone in U.K. gets vaccinated either at 60 or possibly 70. Thank goodness.

I know shingles is the same virus as chickenpox, which remains in the body , my husband was saying he can’t remember if he had chicken pox as a child, ,so I assume you don’t then have the shingles vaccine if offered?

Shingles is a listed side effect from the covid jabs as specified on the forced released documents from pfizer. It is one one the 1300 listed potential side effects from the vaccine. Which they tried to bury for 75 years.
But go ahead and keep getting jabs. For the love of god.

Did I ask about covid? NO! Shingles has been around before Covid, and a side effect of covid? Not the vaccine, my 48 son now has severe heart problems, not from any vaccine but from Covid, so if you can’t answer my question about shingles , I’m not interested

Did your son have "A"or a combination of the covid vaccine? If not then no worries. If he did, and now he is suffering from heart issues, all i am saying is those symptoms are listed in the side effects of the covid jab. I'm not saying one thing or another. But those symptoms are listed. Make of that what you will.

Hi Bee I had the pneumonia jab because I've had pneumonia twice but they said that one jab lasts for life!
