I got the live version of the shingles vaccine some months before I went on Remicade. I had chicken pox when I was 6, so that virus is still in my body. I actually saw my Grandfather go through a bout with shingles and it can be painful and prolonged.
I was also recommended by my PCP to get the pneumonia vaccine. I can't recall if that was before or after I went on Remicade.
