Round #2 of the shingles shot isn't nearly as bad.
Speaking of that, I was told the other day my shingles shot I got three years ago has now been superseded by a new one because the old shot was ineffective..

I have my semi annual checkup with my VA Dr next week, so I'm going to ask.
Thanks, I'll get that started next week.Yep. New one is called Shingrix. Requires two injections ... the second one two to six months after the first.

Hmm. Everybody told me the tetanus shot hurt and to get it in your backside, but the nurse stuck me in the arm for the DTAP shot, and it didn't bother me at all.Yep. Got mine last Thursday afternoon, and my arm is still a little tender today.
VA=no charge.Good luck. There's a shortage. I put myself on waiting lists at two pharmacies ... one of them said, "Don't be surprised if you don't hear from us until December!" They were dead serious. I kept calling different pharmacies until I found one in town that had it in stock. BTW - It falls under your Part D - subject to a copay. Cost me $47; cost the wife $34.
I've had lots of tetnus shots. Never had one hurt.Hmm. Everybody told me the tetanus shot hurt and to get it in your backside, but the nurse stuck me in the arm for the DTAP shot, and it didn't bother me at all.
Back in July, my doc sent me to the ER out of concern that I might have a blood clot in my leg. It turned out to be an infection, so the mean nurse shot me in one butt cheek with an antibiotic, then made me turn over so she could jab the other one. I thought I was going to have to drive home standing up after those two.
