I think it is really up to you.

The vaccine as I recall is only effective in about 50% of patients anyway.

I think you would need at least 1000mg of Lysine (maybe more).
I would use it 500mg in the morning and 500mg at night.(divided doses)

There are really no serious issues with it and it is pretty safe.

I had a herpes panel done, back when (over 20 yrs ago) when I had shingles when I was still working. My doctor was surprised that my herpes I was very very low. The lowest she ever had seen.
But my shingles titres were very high.

I use NOW or Puritan's for my lysine. Last few years I've had fewer warnings of an outbreak. I keep a low easy lifestyle after retirement, which helps.
