I am a 33 year old female. I have been getting shingle outbreaks since I was 6 years old. I would get it once a year around the same time until high school. I then started getting it about twice a year. As I got older the outbreaks became more frequent, 3-4 times a year and even 2 outbreaks at one time. I get it on the back of my neck everytime either on the left side, which is usually the side it breaks out in, but I do get it on the right side also. There was 2 times in which the outbreaks came out on both sides of my neck. When I get it on the left side it is always right on the side of the bottom bone of neck where neck ends and back spine begins. When I get it on the right side, it runs down on the outer side of the back of my neck. This year I have had 4 outbreaks, Feb., April, July and right now. I have had discussions with my doctor about the shingle vaccine since it came out and he has always been against it because of my age and the vaccine has only been tested in older people. With the outbreaks becoming more frequent over the past few years, we discussed it again with my current outbreak and he would like to try it. I am all for it if it will help but have concerns because of my age. With my history of shingle outbreaks being so long and extensive, do you believe it will help prevent my outbreaks completely or atleast minimize my outbreaks? What concerns/issues do you have with getting the vaccination at my age and history? If I would want to have another baby a couple years from now, could the vaccination affect the pregnancy/child?
