I have Graves’ disease and another blood condition . When I get a vaccine it reactivates my Graves which otherwise stays in remission. I have been advised to get the shingles non live vaccine which is two jabs. However someone mentioned that I might not need it, that it’s possible to get a blood test to establish if you have immunity against shingles. Has anyone else done this and what is the blood test?
