Just wondering. DH ordered one from Curascripts and I plan on giving him the shot though I won't have one myself. I take Tysabri and don't want to get shingles from the shot if it's a live virus. Does anyone know?

You can read more here:
http://www.rxlist.com/zostavax-drug.htm It is NOT very effective. Estimates are 50% effectiveness. The chickenpox vaccines also are problematic in this regard. There are warnings not to use in immunocompromised patients. http://www.rxlist.com/zostavax-drug.htm Also other ingredients in it..like the neomycin may induce allergies to neomycin (which is in antibiotic ointments) for the future.
