For people who have already had chickenpox/shingles, is there any potential benefit from getting the vaccine?
- scythe 3y agoYes. Shingles is effectively chronic.
- imagainstit 3y agoShingles is the latent chickenpox you already were infected with reactivating so people who already had chickenpox is exactly who the vaccine is for. You can have shingles multiple times, any time the virus reactivates.
- privacyking 3y agoThe vaccine reduces the likelihood of future flare-ups as well as their severity.
