I've never heard of Denavir. I can be in the same room with someone with a cold sore and get one!! I've been using OTC Abreva, however earlier this year I couldn't get totally rid of one and the dr gave me a 3 day prescription of an antiviral, but not Denavir.
My dr said I'd have to check to see if my insurance would pay for the Shingles vaccine because he thought I wasn't old enough to get it and it's expensive. And I'd have to waite till I got better anyway.
