Guest guest Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 Any other advice about the shingles vaccine? I did some research online about it. We are supposed to get a prescription for it from our family practice doctor later today. I will talk to him about it and also talk to my GI doctor, the doctor who put me on Xifaxan 6 pills a day for my brain fog and was successful in convincing my insurance company to pay for it. At the dosage he has me on, It costs almost $800/month.Margie in MOPSC DX 3/99; mild UC DX 2007On Oct 17, 2007, at 11:37 PM, wrote:Re: Flu Shot; Shingles ShotPosted by: "Don & Ricky Safer" thesafers@... pscpartnersWed Oct 17, 2007 12:01 pm (PST)Here's my experience for all it's worth. I always get my flu shot, but this year my internist suggested I get a shingles vaccine as well. When I asked my hepatologist, he suggested I not get the shingles shot, as it contains a live virus.Ricky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
