Can you take shingles vaccine after getting steroid injection?
I checked with my pharmacist and the answer is NO. I need to stop taking valtrex for 30 days and then get the shot. Valtrex kills the virus and since the vaccine has some live virus in it, the valtrex could compromise the point of getting the vaccine. That said, an incident or 2 of herpes is tolerable to the possibility of getting shingles. Shingles has a higher pain and inconvenience factor than a herpes break out. That is my humble opinion.
