First #shingles, now #flu? Makes you wonder what other infections might be associated with long-term outcomes like Alzheimer’s. Of course we know about a number of post-acute infection syndromes already, but how many more are out there? An exciting time for such research. #IDSky

If you've recently had Covid, look out for shingles – University of Auckland Opinion: There is growing evidence that shingles is occurring at a greater rate in people shortly after being infected with Covid says Dr Helen Petousis-Harris.

And in the background of all this, my octogenarian mother - in addition to sudden severe fatigue - has also had #Shingles & #Vertigo over the last year. Also after a "viral infection".

Coincidence? Maybe, maybe not.

Urgh. Monday and back to work after a few weeks off. After careful review I do not wish Shingles on anyone, even my worst enemy. Now to review 150+ emails most of which could have been dealt with by replying, "No, you can't"

Oh I am desperate to get #shingles vaccine but not old enough yet, still 9 years away *sigh*. I actually never had #chickenpox growing up (I remember my entire second grade class got it except me) but even if I don’t have dormant HSV I still want the shot

I’d be curious if there is data on how many adults age 50 and up are refusing #shingles vaccine. Which has been shown to decrease risk of both #cardiac death and #dementia.

Is this #antivax insanity limited to children or are adults part of it too

True…I also needed some down time to recover from the vaccine, but PLEASE do it.
