The Vaccine is Dead. Long Live the Vaccine!

Chris likely mentioned GSK's new Shingrix vaccine that's been approved in Canada

Also the FDA seems close:

Shingles-aphobia soon to be thing of past... one less thing to worry about - that's certainly good news.

October 25th or before, for the FDA...

Its unlikely to afford us 90% protection from reactivation, but it will be better than nothing....

Which is what we have now! 😀

I had the live vaccine 2 years ago. Got some rotten guidance from my primary care doc who is no longer my pc. I wonder if I would be a candidate for Shingrix when it is available in the US since receiving the live vaccine fairly recently. This assumes that the US FDA approval will follow shortly.
