A member asked:
I took keflex and had hives all over my body, was told not to use penicillin or sporin dugs. hives again from neosporin, can i take the shingles shot?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Shingles shot: reaction to antibiotics should not affect you getting the shingles vaccine. They are unrelated. However yes you could be allergic to the shingles vaccine but there is no way to know until you get it. The good news it is only a one time shot so you won't need boosters.
