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 | | 12/13/2023 | 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 | | 9/15/2023 | 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 | | 8/31/2023 | 2 | Shingles Vaccine | Two weeks after second dose - mildly itchy rash on front of lower legs which gradually faded.

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! | Pharmacy, Walmart Sheila Lane March 15 2023, Injection | F | 71 | | 8/22/2023 | 2 | Shingles Vaccine | I had a sore arm for one week at the injection sight. No other side effects until exactly two weeks after receiving the injection I started itching on my palms and three days later I am covered in a rash. There is no way I will get the second shot. It’s sad that this is not knowledge we have been given before getting the vaccine. | July 17,2023 first vaccine | F | 69 | | 8/3/2023 | 1 | shingles vaccine | To start out I had shingles in August of 2022 I was told by my doctor wait 6-8 months, before I got the shingrix vaccine it would make me very very sick so I waited my time I went to Walmart where I live here in Texas I got the vaccine in my left arm the site was fine it just felt like somebody like frogged me in my arm like punching me with their knuckle the next day I woke up let me remind you I already had shingles and the pain from shingles is horrible so when I woke up the next day every bone, muscle, joint tissue that could hurt in my body was hurting I made my way to the kitchen I got some Tylenol and gabapentin I laid back down I was still hurting the next day I was in excruciating pain and wanted to go to the ER but I didnot want to be hospitalized so I waited the third day I was still hurting every part of my body it was so unbearable this pain. so my son took me to the doctor I seen the doctor she said I was having a severe adverse reaction to the vaccine she gave me some medicine some prednisone some pain medicine and said she hoped that could help and that nothing else would happen hopefully. Further on down two weeks later I ended up having a severe migraine and I coped with it the best I could and a week later I had another migraine which landed me in a Urgent Care ER where they gave me medication for the migraine and sent me home my most recent reaction was I have shingles on my left hand it broke out all on the top of my left hand up my fingers. around the knuckles and the joints on the side of my hand and down my forearm I have carpal tunnel in my left wrist and arm and it magnified the pain of the carpal tunnel by a hundred or more it is crucial and so painful I went back to the doctor and seeing this rash it was red, itchy and all kinds of different size blisters that were full of liquid the dr said you have shingles but its acting weird I had to be out of work 2 weeks she gave me medicine. This rash was so severely itchy after 2 and half weeks it started Scabbing and healing it did Leave small scarring but I'm Still experiencing hand wrist Carpal tunnel syndrome pain. This was my 1st dose of the shringrix vaccine. I WILL NOT GET THE 2ND SHOT/DOSE. I DONT RECCOMEND THIS VACCINE. I WOULD NOT GIVE IT TO DEAD ROAD KILL. Apparently with all of us people Having such horrible side Effects this vaccine needs to Be investigated and we dont even know the long term effects we will all suffer later. IF I KNEW THEN WHAT I KNOW NOW I WOULDN'T OF GOT THE SHRINGRIX VACCINE AT ALL. ALL OF THE SIDE EFFECTS PEOPLE HAVE MENTIONED HERE ON THIS SITE WERE NOT ALL MENTIONED ON THE VACCINE SIDE EFFECT SHEET WE SIGNED AND WERE NOT MENTIONED IN THE TRIAL STUDIES OF THE VACCINE so shame on you GlaxoSmithKline Very upset about all of this!!!! Being I'm left handed this has been so awful I cant hold my Phone long or the steering wheel without having to Switch hands even simple House chores like washing dishes or vacuuming hurts cant Walk my dog without struggling | Administered in my left upper arm muscle it was my 1st shot and my last. WILL NOT GET 2ND SHOT especially after reading some of the experiences shared here on this site. Thank You everyone who has shared Their experience we are helping others I'm sure!!!! | F | 51 | | 7/25/2023 | 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 | 2 | Shingles Vaccine | Shingrix First shot, just a sore arm for days and tired for 24 hrs. Second shot, next days felt gritty sand in my eye that I've never had before. Pharmacy told me not a side effect. Week later got raised red rash on right abdomen followed by a new itchy rash every few days. I've never had rashes until this vaccine. So far each rash heals in 1-3 weeks. I'm going on one month and hope this resolves completely. | Right arm 4 months apart | F | 53 | | 7/8/2023 | 2 | Shingles Vaccine | This was my first dose . My arm was very sore for days On the 5th day I got a raised red very itchy rash. Lasted about 4 days. I have never had reactions to any shot before. I'm not sure if I should take the second dose. I'm a bit nervous | I got the shot at Riteaid | F | 64 | | 3/27/2023 | 1 | Shingles Vaccine | Developed rash on torso and a week later still having sunburn like pain | F | 51 | | 3/16/2023 | 1 | Shingles Vaccine | A few days after receiving the vaccine I developed full on Shingles. A month on and still have the rash and the pain is sometimes horrendous. I wish I had not had the injection | First dose end of January 2023 | F | 73 | | 2/20/2023 | 2 | Shingles Vaccine | After first dose, felt like I had the flu and area where shot was administered was swollen and painful. Six days after the injection I felt pain in my back, side and stomach. Later that day a rash appeared and I was in pain. I went to the Dr the next day and was told I have shingles. | This was after the first dose. | M | 55 | | 2/9/2023 | 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 | 1st dose 10/2022 Rite Aid Pharmacy: VERY sore arm for 5 days.

Headache at bedtime, woke at two AM in the most intense pain of my life. Fever 102 with occasional chills and uncontrollable shaking. Too painful to stay in one position for long and turning was torture. Felt that I woud not survive the night as my body burned up. The fever broke the eveing of day two. Large grapefruit size raised rash below injection site. Day four (today) feeling sore throat, extreme fatigue, surges of panic and bouts of depression. No energy and burning eyes. Day five, woke with serioous depressive mood. Headache and chills back again. No appetite and resting all day. The injection site rash is gone, now small itchy red spots on face and body. 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.
