 2  Shingles Vaccine With 1st shot, sore arm, low grade fever, general malaise. Second shot very sore arm, extreme fatigue, fever, chills, headache. Go second shot 2 weeks ago and still feel extremely fatigued and "run down". Feels almost like I have the flu, and now I have to be tested for covid in order to return to work. I really don't feel well enough to work right now anyway. F 65

 4  Shingles Vaccine After first shot, very sore arm. Next day, very fatigued &. achy flu-like. Mild headache and nausea. Tylenol took c/o headache and nausea was fairly brief. Fatigue lasted about 3 days. Second shot: sore arm and some fatigue but no headache or nausea. And fatigue was of a shorter duration than w/ 1st shot. Having seen what shingles did to my late father - got it in his eyelid and scalp-the excruciating nerve pain lasted until the end of his life, 2 years after his shingles diagnosis - getting the vaccine was never something I had to think about twice.

 4  Shingles Vaccine 1st shingrix tender arm followed by next day chills, aching muscles all over but Tylenol took it all away. By day two I was back to normal. Received 2nd dose March 24, 2021, exactly two months after dose 1 and to my surprise only a sore arm next two days with a bit of an itchy rash at the injection site. Laid low day after waiting to feel side effects. Never came! Both shots were given at my doctors office by my MD F 60

 3  Shingles Vaccine Enlarged lymph node on side of neck -- same side as the vaccination -- first noticed 10 days after getting first dose of Shingrix + the flu vaccine. Fine needle biopsy showed suspicious atypical large cells. 1st dose of Shingrix (+ flu vaccine) on 1/25/21 in Erie at AHN, Harborcreek. Both vaccines in left upper arm. 10 days later, on 2/4/21 I noticed an enlarged lymph node on left side of neck that grew to 4x4 cm within a few days. Round of Augmentin did not help. Very tender and painful. Biopsy on 2/25/21 showed suspicious, atypical large cells. Lymph node went back to normal size around 2/26/21. Physical exam of head/neck/throat/mouth/nasal - all normal. CAT scan of neck and chest on 3/24/21 was normal. Next step is to remove the lymph node and get a path report. F 55

 1  Shingles Vaccine Have not been the same since getting the first dose in sept of 2019. Dr wouldn't let me take 2nd dose. (Although I wouldn't anyway) had 8 appointments until an ultrasound of my liver 6 months later that didn't give me much understanding. Still experiencing pain around liver and ribs, sometimes can't breath in deep. Still dealing with much. Would not recommend Shingles first shot Sept 6 2019 F 67

 4  Shingles Vaccine Unremarkable first dose. Have just slept the entire day: second dose around 6p yesterday. Myalgia/arthraliga began about 4-5h later. Awoke several times to void, realized I fever, chills, was becoming dehydrated, some nausea. Drank water and gingerale prior to retiring again. Didn't mean to lose a day, but had some warning. Good time to gain some viral trained immunity: I doubt I will be eligible for a covid vaccine in less than a month. Both at grocery pharmacy by same staff F 51

 4  Shingles Vaccine With both doses I had severe headache, nausea, myalgias, arthralgias, fever and shivering. Terribly uncomfortable. Got better within here days each time. However, since then I have had three episodes that feel exactly like my reactions felt over one year since being vaccinated. Has anyone else? I am worried. There were no issues with the administration of the vaccine and my arm did not hurt any more than any other vaccine. It is these long term side effects that scare me. Anyone else? F 53
