 5  Shingles Vaccine First dose; only a slightly sore arm. Second dose, just a little tired but nothing much more than a sore spot where the injection was done. Got both does at CVS; first dose was eight weeks after second Pfizer Covid shot. Also got a Prevnar-13 shot the same time as my first Shingrix dose; in the other arm, with no problems on that arm at all. Getting both same time was not an issue; and is allowed by CDC recommendation. Now, after second Shringrix shot, will wait six weeks for next Covid Booster. M 66

 1  Shingles Vaccine The first injection was late February 2021. Horrible stabbing headache for 24 hours. Nothing worked to help it. Did Second injection was August 2021. Stabbing headache felt like I was going to have a stroke. Fever 101, malaise, horrible body aches, muscle aches, felt sunburned all over body, injection site swelling and excruciating pain,. Could not get out of bed I was so dizzy and nauseated.. Worse than covid vaccines in March and April 2021. Just actually wanted to die. Never felt this ill. Almost called 911 for ambulance to be admitted to hospital ! Now feel traumatized by vaccines! F 58

 3  Shingles Vaccine Going on day two after my first of two shingles vaccines. Injection site is very sore and achy to the touch (probably the worst soreness I've ever had from an injection). Experiencing a general malaise with slight nausea and joint and body aches (kind of like the flu). Also had brain "flashes" the first night while trying to sleep. Hopefully it will all start to subside on day three. Got the shingles vaccine from my doctor who recommended it to me (already had the original one shot vaccine five years ago). M 64

 4  Shingles Vaccine I had a sore arm for a day or two but no other side effects after either shot. I have read several patient reviews that say they took the Shingles vaccine within a few weeks or a month or two of getting a covid vaccine, and they had bad side effects after the shingles vaccine. I suggest you wait several months after getting the Covid before getting the shingles vaccine (and probably vice-versa as well.) F 60

 2  Shingles Vaccine Extreme tiredness, body aches and excrutiating headache. Very sore arm as well. This all happened on 2nd day and was so bad I had to call out of work, which I never do. 1st vaccine gave me mild symptoms, 2nd knocked me for a loop. I am a healthy 59 year old. F 59

 2  Shingles Vaccine Fever, body aches, hardly could move within the first 24 hours. Second day had cold sweats and low grade fever and had to come home from work. Neck pains badly. Numbness in feet and hands. Constantly dizzy. Had the COVID 19 vaccine previously, and also did poorly with it. I am healthy and usually don't get get sick or ever have any trouble clearing up from something. These so called vaccines are proving to me only are causing health issues. I will not take another vaccine for any prevention ever. It's all lies!!!! F 56

 1  Shingles Vaccine Body aches, I'm cold and it's 90 degrees outside, headache, my joints hurting to the point where taking a shower hurts. I al also have IC and it's put me in a mild flare and I'm just tired😔 This is my second dose, the Covid vaccine wasn't this bad F 50

 1   Muscle (primarily back and stomach area) and joint pain, nausea and diarrhea, headaches, extreme fatigue. I'm a very healthy 65 year old male with no pre-existing conditions and no health related problems. I'm strong, height-weight proportionate, and take no prescription medications at all. I have had the Moderna COVID shots, and experienced side effects for both but they were minimal. I had the first Shingles shot four months ago with minimal side effects- the most pronounced being a very sore arm. I had the second shingles shot six days ago, and continue to experience side effects that are for all practical purposes are incapacitating. The muscle and back pain remains pronounced, the headaches persist, and I'm unable to work due to the discomfort and fatigue. This vaccine has completely floored me in a way that I never dreamed was possible, and I continue to wonder when this will pass. I'm ex-military, and have had I'm sure more vaccines than the average person throughout my life, and I can say without reservation this has been unique in terms of the discomfort and level of suffering. I don't say this lightly, but not in a million years would I do this second shot again if I had an inkling of what this would be like. M 65

 4  Shingles Vaccine Started with bad arm pain day of jab, next day fatigue, myalgia--better by afternoon except developed fever. All mostly resolving by evening, except increasing redness zone at jab site, which resolved next day. This was a first dose received at a medical practice. I will get the second dose when it's time, too. The brief misery, as a preventive to shingles and its possible sequelae, is totally worth it to me. Plus, if I don't develop shingles I won't risk transmitting the virus to other folks, either. F 64

 2  Shingles Vaccine I am a healthy active 60 year old with no underlying conditions. This vaccine knocked me out for 2 solid weeks. The usual immune system symptoms, fatigue, headache, tingling hands, even lumps on my tongue one day! I thought I was never going to get better. Finally what seemed to help was napping every day and having 3 really healthy meals a day to strengthen my immune system. I'm guessing my immune system freaked out because I had the Pfizer COVID vaccine a couple of months ago. Definitely not getting the second dose of Shingrix. My immune system has had enough. 1st dose. Not getting a 2nd F 60

 1  Shingles Vaccine Dizziness, nausea, fatigue, headache, weird taste, excessive saliva, sleeping in my 17th day. Do not get it!!! 50 is too young. Been to urgent care three times. Seeing a infectious disease doc tomorrow. On zofran, prednisone and it's not going away. Yes I got covid vaccine in March all fine there. Please take this vaccine off market. No one should go thru this suffering. F 50
