A member asked:
If i still have rash from shingles, but have not had a shingles vaccine, can i get the covid vaccine?

Wait: It would be prudent to wait for the Shingles rash to disappear, before you take the vaccine. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs.

Wait: Wait until the shingles is gone. Your immune system right now is under strain because of the shingles infection. It might interfere with a proper immune response to the Covid vaccine. If you wait a couple of weeks, your immune system will have a chance to recover and your immunity will be more able to handle another challenge.
