Second Shingles shot
Yeah, I got it yesterday, and my second MMR, and I've been miserable since about 1 am.
Even got me a fever.
I hope it doesn't last 2-3 days, this is my last week before vacation, and I have stuff to do!

Why did you need an MMR?

@Pinehurst: because it didn't exist when I was born, I work a public facing job, with lots of kids, and it's much worse to get it as an adult. Based on how many times I've see measles outbreaks recently, better safe then sorry.
I was born in 64, it came out in 68. Based on my records, I never had it. Yes. I still have my childhood immunization records.

@Vinbert :
Ug. Yeah. The shingles shot is a bear. I've had flu and pneumonia shots and thought they weren't bad. Also had TDAP recently and not bad. But the shingles shot? Ug!

@Vinbert :
You should only need 1 MMR shot. Very few people don't gain full immunity after one shot. The second MMR is known to have more severe side effects, so coupled with the shingles has to really suck. I would look into a new doctor, LOL. That one didn't advise you well at all!
