Had it, no side effects, just relieved that, unlike my poor mother and her sister, it is an illness I will not have in old age. It knocked both of them out and in pain for at least six months.
I had mine at the height of Covid. The lady I support had hers just this week. The nurse was very thorough going through her medical history and even putting in a call to the hospital pharmacist as A is on medication she hadnt heard of to make sure there were no contra-indications. Neither of us had any side effects.
I had the shingles and the pneumonia jabs last week absolutely no side effects. I had one in each arm and didn’t even have an aching arm. I was 70 earlier in February and contacted the doctor 2 weeks ago to ask why I hadn’t been invited for the jabs and they made me an appointment with the practice nurse.
Had mine with no problem 4 years ago. Luckily said no the the offered shingles jab at the same time aa I didnt want to have both on the same day. So delayed it for a few weeks.
Unbeknown to me then I had the beginnings of Non Hodgkins Lymphoma so the live shingles jab could have been a problem.
I finally had Shingrix the non live shingles jab when chemo had finished. And after sadly I had had a nasty dose of shingles.
I had it many years ago, with no side effects. It's an invitation, as GmBatty says. You don't have to accept the invitation, but very foolish not to do so.
