My ds and me and my dh have all had vaccine reactions and she was trying to tell me that my dh needs the shingles vaccine SHe says it is heriditary. I have never heard this. I told her that there was no way any of us were getting any vaccine for any reason.
Getting the vaccine DOES NOT make you immune. Especially if it's genetic. And yes, getting the vaccine can exacerbate the issue.
Sounds like she's one of those who think vaccines = not getting the disease ever.
But guess what? He's a grown adult and doesn't have to do what his mom tells him anymore :)
btw, this is taken from the CDC's website:
The vaccine for shingles (Zostavax®) is recommended for use in people 60 years old and older to prevent shingles. The older a person is, the more severe the effects of shingles typically are, so all adults 60 years old or older should get the shingles vaccine.
In a clinical trial involving thousands of adults 60 years old or older, Zostavax reduced the risk of shingles by about half (51%) and the risk of post-herpetic neuralgia by 67%. While the vaccine was most effective in people 60-69 years old it also provided some protection for older groups.
Reducing the risk by half is not good enough for me - especially when he's had reactions in the past. And there wasn't anything on the page about recommending it for younger ages
How is a viral infection hereditary? Shingles is caused by a virus, not hereditary, right?
He is not taking that vaccine or any other I just wanted to know what you ladies though.
Week. She is such a hypocrite she won't even take Advil yet tried to tell me vaccines were good. I laughed. Dh chewed her out and I havent heard a word since
