What are your thoughts (and risks for someone with my history, if any) from getting the vaccination?

I also know that the first varient of the vaccination only lasted for a few years, and a newer, long-lasting version is coming soon (if not out already).

Many thanks!

My SFN started shortly after I got the Shingles vaccine and I have since wondered (actually believe without proof) that this was the cause of my problem. I would be very cautious.
