Your doc: Most offices are currently performing telemedicine assessments and your doc or one of his or her partners would be best to address your issue. They will also have access to your past medical history and be able to follow appropriately for complications in case they happen. Continuity of care is critical for such conditions to allow for best outcome.

Telemedicine: I can understand your reluctance. Many doctors are now providing their patient's with telemedicine. This would be a safe alternative for you.

Good day...my daughter missed her 12 year vaccine. She is now 13. Our local clinic did not have stock for some time and last we did not attemp to go because of the corona virus?
My daughter had a rough year last year with shingles and mono and was diagnosed a few weeks ago with a throat virus. It left scars on her throat that are irritated and show up with drainage. She now has problems with hoarseness and says it hurts to sing.
Can I still get the shingles vaccine AFTER I've had shingles? (Once the virus completely wears off) I've had chronic cases over the last 16 years.
How much time does the shingles virus last?
