I didn't. That pharmacy can't bill my insurance company, so I decided to get the flu shot elsewhere. I'm going to get that today or tomorrow, as my 94-year-old father is going to be visiting in mid November and I want my vaccine to have taken effect by then. The muscle spasm side effect of Shingrix is finally subsiding today. I belatedly started treating it yesterday by wearing a neck pillow, which seemed to work like magic -- or maybe it finally ran its course.
The CDC says "Shingrix is an inactive vaccine so you can administer it with other inactive or live vaccines." Where have you seen a research-supported recommendation to space them out?
