A new Australian study has found that seniors who get the Shingrix® shingles vaccine face a dramatic spike in shingles cases shortly after the first dose.
Within just 21 days, shingles reports to GPs among those 65 and older increased 15-fold, according to findings presented at the 2025 Communicable Diseases and Immunization Conference (CDIC) in Adelaide.
The study, conducted by researchers from the Murdoch Children’s Research Institute and Victoria’s Vaccine Safety Service, analyzed over a year’s worth of real-world medical data using two large-scale, independent datasets.
It found a 15-fold increase in shingles cases reported to general practitioners within 21 days after the first dose of Shingrix among older adults. A more modest increase in hospital-based shingles cases was also observed.
Despite the massively increased chance of being infected with shingles in the first three weeks post-vaccination, the vaccine shows some long-term protection—slashing shingles risk by 83% after two doses.
Lead researcher Dr. Aishwarya Shetty points to the vaccine’s immune-boosting ingredient—a bacterial endotoxin-based adjuvant—as a possible reason for the short-term immune dip that could allow the dormant virus to flare up in vulnerable patients.
Although still unpublished and under peer review, the study is already fueling renewed scrutiny of vaccine safety.
Dr. Shetty stressed that being upfront about short-term risks can actually strengthen public trust in vaccination.

After much research, the following supplements can prevent Covid and other viruses. My family and I mainly follow the protocol of Dr Bryan Ardis. This is only my opinion based on my own family’s success. Please make sure you do your own research and speak with your medical professional before making any changes to your health routine.
EDTA
Glutathion
NAC
Zinc
Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid)
Vitamin D3
Quercetin
Cats Claw
Nicotine
Bromelain
Curcumin
Dr. McCullough recommends taking this treatment triad for at least three months for anyone suffering from or worried about post-COVID or post-vaccine syndromes.
Nattokinase, Bromelain, and Curcumin are available over the counter at just about any health food store or pharmacy.
Selenium
Dandelion Root
Black Sativa Extract (may facilitate cellular repair)
Green Tea Extract (provides added defenses at the cellular level through scavenging for free radicals)
Irish Sea Moss (could help rebuild damaged tissue and muscle)
In an acute emergency, if you get Covid, Dr Ardis suggests taking low doses of Nicotine in the form of Lozenges, Gum, or Patches for a few days until symptoms subside
