Wait... the second dose of the covid vaccine protects you from shingles? This is news to me.

Does anyone have a source for that? My quick google search doesn't give me any results that aren't about the Shingrix vaccine.

They’re comparing second-dose no-shows for the COVID vaccine with second-dose no-shows for the Shingrix vaccine. They’re not saying that the COVID vaccine protects you from shingles (it doesn’t).

Yeah, I need to make a personal rule about posting questions before I've had any caffeine.

Nevermind, I see that I misread, they are comparing second shot rates of covid against second shot rates of the shingles vaccine.
