 4  Shingles Vaccine The only side effect that I had was at the vaccine site -- a bit red, swollen and achy. I feel lucky that I didn't have the side effects that some people had on this site! F 59

 3  Shingles Vaccine First dose, fine. Second dose, other than sore arm, fine until next day. Shaking, chills and fever. A week and a half later, very painful jaw and neck, with golf-ball-like swelling. Doc put me on antiviral and antibiotics. Blister in back of throat also. Now, weeks later, another blister in back of throat. F 61

 2  Shingles Vaccine Its shot in Novemer with just soreness at site for couple of days but arm still aches and have some numbness and tingling in fingers sometimes. Had 2nd shot a week ago in other arm. Sore but main issues is aching and motion restriction making it hard to put arms above head and towards my back - enough to make it hard to dress at times. Concerned this is still a problem from the first shot so thinking the second one will also cause pain for a while. F 74

 4  Shingles Vaccine I had a really sore arm for a couple of days after both shots. Even bruised around that area. But I felt completely fine besides that after the 1st dose. Different story after the 2nd dose. I received the 2nd shot around noon on that day. Along with the very sore and bruised arm, I had muscle and body aches all over that evening and the entire next day. They were pretty bad. Also, a headache, and a little loss of appetite. However, I woke up on day 2 feeling back to normal again, except for the sore arm. F 58

 4  Shingles Vaccine My 1st of the series was on December 8, 2020. My experienced side effects included: injection site soreness, fever, chills, body aches, and general malaise. The worst of it lasted for about 36 hours but the malaise lasted about 4 days. The second dose was completed on February 7, 2021. This dose had similar side effects, but also included nausea/vomiting, loss of appetite, runny nose, slight shortness of breath, dizziness, and a few hours of vertigo. The malaise, like the first dose is the longest lasting side effect. It definitely isn't a walk in the park, but would do it again. I feel it is a few days of feeling bad verses a 90% chance of not having weeks of pain or long term damage from shingles. First and second dose where administered at Walgreens pharmacy. IM infection's in the deltoid muscle. F 51

 4  Shingles Vaccine After first dose, both husband and I had small fevers and sore arms where shots were given. He had general aches and chills, while I had a swollen lymph node under that same arm. After second dose, both fevers were 101-102 degrees. Husband was nauseous, and my arm was swollen with a large red area. These effects lasted about 1.5 days. My arm was sore, with a swollen lymph node as well, for a couple of weeks Despite these side effects, glad we did it!. received first doses 11-15-20 and second doses 1-17-21 (all at Walmart) F 53

 3  Shingles Vaccine After the 1st shot I developed side effects after about 8 hours. I had extreme chills, shivering, headache, body aches. I was also extremely thirsty, but didn't have the strength to get up to get water. Strong side effects lasted 2 full days, but it was about 4 days out before I felt normal. The health care provider didn't warn me that side effects could be this bad. Fortunately I had the shot on a Friday, so it only ruined my weekend. If I'd had it during the week, I definitely would have missed a couple days of work. F 58
