Is shingles vaccine effective after shingles outbreak?
Can you take the shingles shot while having shingles
Do you have to take medicine for shingles?
No, the shingles vaccine is given by your doctor, a nurse, or a pharmacist and does not require that a prescription be written.
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.
Is there a vaccination for shingles?
This is a very good question. Looks simple, but very difficult to answer. There is a vaccine available for shingles. You should take it, if you can afford the same, when you are older than forty years. You are already have virus in your posterior root ganglion. You are already immune to this virus. The vaccine gives you higher immunity. Shingles attack you only when your immunity is lowered down, probably. So this vaccine is not very effective. Also that, you do not know, which individual is going to be benefited by the vaccine. When you start the acyclovir and corticosteroids, early in shingles, the severity of the postherpatic neuralgia becomes very less. Again that can be managed by drug like carbamazepine, rather effectively. You can not recommend this vaccine for masses in developing countries, where children are dieing for lack of oral dehydration solution, which is quite inexpensive.
Can you get shingles from someone if you already had chickenpox?
First, you can't "catch shingles" from someone. You can get chickenpox from someone who has shingles, but only if two things are true:You have direct contact with the weeping shingles lesions; ANDYou have not had chickenpox or chickenpox vaccine in the past.You can't get chickenpox from someone with shingles if you are immune. You can't get it from being in the same room with them, either. A person with shingles can go about normal activities, including all work or school, as long as the lesions are covered.

Yes, yes, and yes. Would you take a drug to cure AIDS? Or Shingles? Ask anyone who knows someone who had polio at one time. They have post Polio syndrome. They will tell you that they wish they had had polio vaccine then when they got polio.
