I got my 2nd shot on 1/23/20, 2 months and about 10 days after my first shot. I had to wait an extra week or so because I was on an antibiotic. I called the pharmacy to ask about that and they said to wait until I was done with the antibiotic before getting the Shingrix. I don't know if that's official protocol or just them being cautious.
I had the typical sore spot on my arm and a little redness for just a few days and that arm was tender. To me, it was about the same as my yearly flu shot, nothing to complain about!
I'm so glad that I was able to get both shots completed while I was still on ObamaCare. These were priced at $165 each and were covered at 100% as part of the preventative coverage. If I would have waited until I was on Medicare (starts tomorrow!!!! YEAH) I would have had to pay something substantial for these.
I've seen so many posts about how horrible shingles can be and if I had to I would have paid for these vaccines, but I was able to get them while it was covered at 100%.
