Hi,
I just came across this thread in a Google search trying to see if there was a connection between the flu shot and Shingles.
I am just getting over Shingles, which started two weeks to the day after my flu shot.
I know Shingles is caused by a virus lingering from previous Chicken Pox, but my case sure makes me think there was something in that flu shot that triggered the Shingles.
That being said, I will continue with my annual flu shots. I've had horrible cases of flu and would rather take my chances on a reaction to the shot rather than a full blown case of the flu.
