 1  Shingles Vaccine I just got the shingles vaccine two days ago. My arm is in so much pain can't raise it above my head. I am woozy sleeping off & on and my inside body is so hot. My temp 101.1 it's been one heck of an experience. It feels like the same effects from my first dose of the Covid vaccine except your on fire inside. I have chills and have my heat on this vaccine I recommend no one to get it. It's not a good feeling at all I feel drugged for the past two days slurring my words and my Headache hasn't yet gone away taking Tylenol every two - four hrs to relieve. Think again about this vaccine 1st dose F 50

 1  Shingles Vaccine Very sore for eight hours at the injection site. I could not raise my arm. On day two I started to get a rash on my neck. It is now day five and I finally went to urgent care to find out what the heck is going on. I thought it was shingles but also know that shingles looked a little different than this. It sounds like the symptoms of a rash that many people on this website are describing. It is extremely itchy and sometimes on fire. I have steroid cream that I hope now will help. I will not get the second shot. Administered at my Dr's office. I will not get the second shot. F 63

 1  Shingles Vaccine SHINGRIX (Zoster Vaccine Recombinant, Adjuvanted) is the WORST vaccine EVER!! I got it yesterday and a couple of hours later my arm was hotter than my oven and I had body aches all day today, so bad that Chris wanted to take me to the emergency room. Ugh. NEVER MORE. Shingrix Adverse Reaction . @SHINGRIX SUCKS. give me the shingles any day--I have had them twice and they are nothing compared to the Vaccine. First dose this year, same as last year. F 62

 2  Shingles Vaccine Soreness at injection site, EXTREME fatigue, chills. I was so weak after the second injection I received in the month of August that I had to crawl to the bathroom in the middle of the night. Also, woke up with severe chills to the point that my teeth were chattering...had to put 3 blankets on top of me to get warm. This was in the middle of summer. I regret getting it. CVS-2019 F 59

 3  Shingles Vaccine Within four hours felt feverish, body aches, headache, and palpitations. Hard to tell if the affects were worse because I got the flu shot at the same time. Two days later, arm still sore, although not as bad, and still having palpitations. Since I've had shingles twice in the last year, I really hope this series of vaccines helps me from getting it again. Doctors office definitely did not prepare me for the side effects. F 51

 1  Shingles This is a follow up from my 8-3-2023 vaccine. I did not have shingles after all, still having symptoms that was thought to be shingles. My regular PCP said it's vasculitis, a skin reaction to vaccines and I am not to get the second shot. I am now taking a medrol dose pack and will see a dermatologist if I don't improve with the steroids. I hope this comment helps someone else who may develop a rash with blistering after a vaccine. This was my first dose. F 62

 1   Since taking these shots, I have had hot flashes all day long and at night. I am way past menopause. I often wonder if this drug also brought on multiple myeloma too. Bad drug. Do not take this shot! F 75

Took some Tylenol so I could sleep.'I had the shingles 4 years ago one year after receiving the Zostavax vaccine. Shingles lasted a few months with nerve pain around my back and over my heart.

 1  Shingles Vaccine Within an hour of getting the vaccine, I got a migraine headache, severe nausea and pain at the injection site. I did not feel good for four days. Around day 7 I broke out in shingles. I am now battling shingles rash all over, three weeks now. A spot will heal and another spot pops up somewhere else. Today, two on back of neck, one on shoulder blade and another above my upper lip. Current meds are valtrex 1 Gram 3 x a day, topical steroid for itching and Tylenol for pain. I will not get the second dose. First dose of Shingrix vaccine on August 3, 2023. This vaccine is horrible. I will not get any vaccine of any kind going forward. F 62

 1  Shingles Vaccine Its been 5 months since injection, have had shingles, rash on arms, face, hands, back, & legs very itchy, be on two rounds of steroids, steroid cream, and now another cream. Lots of blood work, two docs. And the injection site was horrible for a week. Can not recommend this vaccine and would never have the second. It would probably kill me!
