Adrian (from Bundjalung, Minjungbal, and Coodingburra Country):
I wouldn’t hesitate to have the vaccine.
My Uncle had it (the shingles virus) and he was quite concerned for me, because he had it about a year before I did.
He suffered quite seriously with the pain, and not being able to move, and not even being able to roll over in his sleep, because the pain was so intense.
I could hear the tone of voice he was quite worried for me, for what I was about to experience.
