Can I Get Shingles Vaccine For Tiredness And Burning Sensation In One Arm?
Brief Answer:
You can but not required
Detailed Answer:
Hello Sir!
Thank you so much for writing in Healthcaremagic.
I understand your concern.The symptoms you have could be due to other nerve disorder too,since pain is the main symptom of shingles.
I was just worried that at your age taking vaccine could be little tricky,since immunity is generally low at old age.Sometimes even after taking vaccine shingles occur but with less severity and duration.
Contraindications of taking this vaccines are;
Allergy to gelatin,neomycin or any other component of this vaccine
weak immune system due to any disease.
taking any medicines like stroid etc.
Hope this helps.Feel free to ask more.
