Had the shingles jab last November at the same time as I had the flu' jab. Didn't notice any side-effects.

Thanks for the reminder! I'm on Aciclovir twice a day for recurring shingles and I was told when I was first put on it that if it works then I could have the vaccine. Don't remember why I couldn't have it straight away, but I've been on it well over a year now with no further attacks - I used to get it every 6 weeks or so!
So I've got to see my new doctor and get that sorted ;)
