Is Shingrix vaccine inactive? - Health & Beauty

Probably not unless you get cold sores more easily than others. The second shot has been reported to make one feel blah for a day or two.

This is a car forum, but let me help you with a google search finding:

If you had shingles in the past, you can get Shingrix to help prevent future occurrences of the disease. There is no specific length of time that you need to wait after having shingles before you can receive Shingrix, but generally you should make sure the shingles rash has gone away before getting vaccinated.

There are two vaccines that don't use egg products per this web page shown below, so that would be an alternative, but other vaccines have minimal egg products that might affect someone allergic to eggs.

Hello Friend,
Here is a picture of shingles just to see if those itchy spots on your body can be shingles.
One of the distinguishing hallmark of shingles is that it has the pattern of following a line covered on your body by its accompanying spinal nerve. Oh shingles, how clever of you to have a pathway!
Now given the nature of vaccinations, I believe if people had any idea of what was being injecting into those immunizations they would be mortified, after all that is one way to build your immunity by injecting yourself with the very thing you're building defenses against. There are other healthier, safer ways to build your immunity. Case in point, I am a TRUE believer that if our immune systems were strong enough in the first place there would be no need for vaccinations.

The short answer is no.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved several formulations of the seasonal flu vaccine, including multi-dose vials and single-dose units. (See Table of Approved Influenza Vaccines for the U.S. 2014-2015 Season.) Since seasonal influenza vaccine is produced in large quantities for annual vaccination campaigns, some of the vaccine is produced in multi-dose vials, and contains thimerosal to safeguard against possible contamination of the vial once it is opened.

The single-dose units are made without thimerosal as a preservative because they are intended to be opened and used only once. Additionally, the live-attenuated version of the vaccine (the nasal spray vaccine), is produced in single-dose units and does not contain thimerosal.

Thimerosal is mercury based compound but its use has decreased as most vaccines are single dose today.

A varicella vaccine developed in Japan in the 1970's was licensed for routine use in Japan and Korea in 1988. The varicella vaccine was recommended for routine use in the United States in 1995. In 2005 a combination measles, mumps, rubella, varicella vaccine (MMRV) was licensed.

Vaccines are routinely developed as a way to confer immunity against viruses for which there are very few drug cures available (unlike bacterial infections).

The vaccine is what you receive when you get a vaccination. A tiny dose of a synthetic analogue (a piece) of the virus is injected into your arm (or bottom). Your immune system responds to this like it is an actual infection and develops antibodies against it. The antibodies protect you from getting a real infection - usually for life. Some vaccines contain viral particles that have been killed (with heat usually). The pieces of virus that enter your body through the injection also bring about an immune response as if you had a real infection. Neither the pieces, nor the killed viruses can cause infection.

The latest chicken pox vaccines need to be boosted later on as adults since the protection wanes over the years. It's an excellent idea to get the booster, since the virus that causes chicken pox is responsible for shingles in older people - a painful condition that affects the nerves. The vaccine will prime your body to fight off chicken pox infections when you are exposed.
