 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

 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

Fever and chills for 3 days Side effects began to subside 5 days later and on 6th day was able to attend a family lunch Although not a pleasant experience at the time it is worth it not to get shingles F 74

 2  Shingles Vaccine Very sore arm almost immediately following injection. Red, hot, lump about 3 1/5 inches across that's also itchy. Can hardly use the arm and even the slightest light touch from clothing hurts something awful. I can't sleep on that side. Got a low grade fever but even without fever, I've had chills and shaking and alternate between hot and cold. Three days after the shot, I got horrible stomach issues (nausea like crazy and diarrhea). Today is day 4 with no end in sight. I know shingles is worse but this vaccine is terrible! First dose, upper left arm/deltoid, administered at doctor's office by nurse. F 51

 1  Shingles Vaccine This was my second shot and within three hours I had passed out, and wet myself. When I came to, the pain in my arm was excruciating and I had the chills badly. I couldn't get out of bed without help for days. Pharmacy only recommended Tylenol. Didn't help. I have always had vaccines but nothing like this. F 80

Glands by my throat are the size of golf balls and my throat hurts from a ton of sinus drainage. And they say the second dose could be worse. I don't know. Yeah, Shingles sounds worse, but! IM at the shoulder. 1st dose F 54

 1  Shingles Vaccine Received my second Shingrix vaccine January 27th 2023 @ 11am. By 1pm I had a fever of 102.5 a red raised itchy rash erupted on my chest down my stomach. My joints were extremely painful exhaustion headache chills. The actual injection site was painful but compared to the other reactions it was manageable. Literally felt I would die that night. Today is February 9th and I am still fighting the red itchy burning rash all over my chest and neck. I would not recommend this vaccine to anyone. This was my second Shingrix vaccine F 51
