Shingles Vaccine: Why Constant Shingles & Immunity?


Question
I am 54,female,disabled due to chronic pain etc. I have shingles almost constantly. Why am I not able to get the shingles vaccine?

Answer
it will get complicated quickly, but if you had the shingles, you should be immune.... to have shingles constantly doesn't happen, it is probably something else, sometimes herpes simplex.   But if you had shingles, you have the antibody that the shingles vaccines offers..... so you don't need the vaccine
