Had 2nd shot 4 months later with sore arm 2-3 days, no fever, continued bilateral shoulder pain, intermittent urticaria. | IM 1st and 2nd dose | M | 52 | | 12/21/2023 | 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 | | 9/24/2023 | 4 | 1st shot very sore arm pain with movement lasted 24 hours 2nd shot 2 months later severe muscle pain and strange pain in breast bone. 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 | | 8/10/2023 | 1 | Shingles Vaccine | Fever chills severe body aches 12 hrs after first dose. Severe joint pain since. It's been 6 weeks. I was limber and no aches before this vaccine. I can't sit and drive. . Barely can get up. Had numerous lab tests. Will not take 2nd shot. | First shot and WILL be the last Shingrex Living on Tylenol and Aleve - never had a reaction to a vaccination like this before. Horrible | M | 74 | | 7/27/2023 | 1 | Shingles Vaccine | Day1 I had no expectations of difficulties other than the usual (sore arm, mild to moderate discomfort, etc. I just had a sore arm during the rest of the day but nothing too serious. I went to bed, and sometime after midnight, I started shivering uncontrollably. My teeth were chattering as well. The pain started radiating out to the back of my neck and up behind my head and all the way down my lower back. It was excruciatingly painful to change position. After a few hours, I became extremely overheated and developed a rash on my face. Day2, morning, I was hoping the worse was over because the fever had gone down somewhat, but as I got up to do my morning tasks, I got dizzy and nauseous, and couldn't stand up. I almost passed out. But the issue that made me decide to go to the ER was that my hands became numb and I couldn't move them. They swelled up a bit, as well. I spent a few hours in the ER; they just made sure I didn't have a heart attack and checked my vitals, but otherwise had no answers to my problems. That afternoon and evening, I noticed that my nose was stuffed up and I had a sore throat. They were pretty minor symptoms, as was the pain in the arm itself. I am on Day 3, and I am still nauseous, everything I eat gives me diarrhea, and I have a pain in my armpit on the shot arm which I assume is a swollen lymph node. I continue to have a face rash and I've been tired and have spent most of my time in bed. I have never had reactions this extreme with any vaccination I've taken, including COVID -- NOT EVEN CLOSE. I don't have any underlying health conditions, but I swear that it would have killed me if I did! Not taking the second shot for sure. I can't believe they are giving this to elderly people. | First dose | F | 61 | | 7/19/2023 | 3 | Shingles Vaccine | 1st shot was 4 mos ago. No issues other than a sore arm for 5 days. This second shot was way worse. Received shot at 8am Monday morning. By late afternoon, my arm started to hurt. By 8pm I developed a fever and had uncontrollable shivers. Following morning was ok and was able to work, however by mid afternoon the fever returned and delirium set in. Was unable to eat anything and could barely speak in coherent sentences. Third day started feeling better. Only issue is now the sore arm which is swollen and has a red welt about 3 inches in diameter. All in all about what I expected given the reactions I had with the covid boosters. Still better than getting the disease. | 2nd dose at doctors office. | F | 59 | | 4/27/2023 | 1 | Shingles Vaccine | Fever, chills, weakness, upset stomach, very tired -flu like | F | 70 | | 4/22/2023 | 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 | | 4/17/2023 | 4 | Shingles Vaccine | Received the first dose on a Monday evening. I have had a fever with chills, body aches and extreme fatigue for a third day now (Thursday). 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 | | 3/30/2023 | 2 | Shingles Vaccine | Day 1, went to bed feeling unwell, severe chills and Temperature 103f. Day 2 I was in Bed all day, fever and weakness. Day 3 still have fever, but not as high. This was my second dose both administered by doctor | F | 66 | | 3/2/2023 | 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 | | 2/9/2023 | 1 | Shingles Vaccine | 2 weeks of 103 degree fever, alternating chills and sweats, insomnia, utter misery! 2 doctors office visits, 1 ER visit. I do not recommend this! | M | 62 | | 1/22/2023 | 1 | Shingles Vaccine | Fever, fatigue, body aches, terrible sore throat, awful hip pain, heartburn, injection site pain, flu-like symptoms. First dose I was out about 1.5 days. 2nd dose I'm on day 3 and still very sick.

Headache at bedtime, woke at two AM in the most intense pain of my life. Fever 102 with occasional chills and uncontrollable shaking.

Feeling miserable. I would not recommend this vaccine. My husband has shingles right now and I am unable to work. He is very tired but working. There is no mention of the severity or duration of the side effects of this vaccing in any of the literature. | F | 59 | 1X day | 1/18/2023 Patient History | 3 | Recommendation from family & doctor | 2nd dose, 1st evening, sore arm where injection was, heaviness later that evening due to muscle soreness. Next morning, the most EXTREME headache I have ever had. I am not prone to headaches, this one caused me to experience nausea, throw up and flashes of lights, when I closed my eyes. I have never thrown up from a shot. And NO I was not sick all morning but it lasted for approx 2 hours. Low grade fever 95.6°, no appetite till afternoon. Tired, arm soreness still but not as bad. Not sure I would ever had got this vaccine if I knew how bad the headache could be! The headache knocked me down to the floor!! | 12/30, East Aurora Rite Aid at about 5:45 pm | F | 55 | 1X day | 12/31/2022 | 1 | Shingles Vaccine | Day one: injection site pain.

I write this as I am coming up on Day 5. | First dose in left arm. Likely only dose. No other known ailments at time of injection. No other vaccines taken that day or in months . Got as preventative upon turning 50. | M | 50 | | 12/26/2022 | 4 | Shingles Vaccine | Low grade fever (100.5) following both the 1st and 2nd vaccines. Also, felt really lousy both times; my wife had no side effects. Also, on this second vaccine I am dealing with redness in the upper arm which is concerning me; both times I had soreness. I am approaching 33 hours since I had the injection; I also now have some nasal discomfort and I awoke with a nose bleed -- this could be just coincidental. Still, I had much rather have the side effects of the vaccine rather than the horrible shingles virus itself. I feel it is worth the temporary side effects. | M | 69 | | 12/18/2022 | 3 | Shingles Vaccine | Second Shingrix vaccine - day afterwards had very sore arm and fever and headache. Second day afterwards after 12 hours in bed, fever had gone. However I then saw a large red hot mass on arm two inches below injection site. Never had that reaction to any other vaccination. This started to dissipate the day after that. | F | 63 | | 12/10/2022 | 3 | Shingles Vaccine | Both injections: stiff arm. Flu like symptoms including chills, low grade fever, fatigue, muscle aches, decreased appetite. | F | 50 | | 11/20/2022 |
