[CIS PIDD] [cis-pidd] CVID and Shingles

[Michael Blaese]

IDF has received the following inquiry.
 "I have CVID and I get outbreaks of shingles. Has anyone had success with
the shingles vaccination? Or is that too risky for someone with CVID?"

CDC still recommends against use of the vaccine in individuals with primary
immunodeficiency.  Any thoughts or experience with this situation?
