Should I still get the Shingrix vaccine? 4 - Will I feel ill for several days after getting the Shingrix vaccine? 5 - Will the Shingrix vaccine increase my risk of recurrent outbreaks of Herpes 1 & 2?

I have been experiencing difficulty maintaining an erection during sexual activity with my fiancée for over a year. I have tried pills, exercise, and a healthier diet, but nothing has worked.
