2 | Shingles Vaccine | Overnight after 2nd vaccine. Having extreme cold chills, weakness, muscle pains, difficulty getting up and down, and a headache.!Haven't taken my temperature. | CVS | M | 59 | | 12/6/2020 | 1 | Shingles Vaccine | I felt ill the first dose but last Thursday I had the second dose. By that night, I was feeling nauseous, and unwell. The next 36 hours I ran a high fever with chills, severe body aches, and head-crushing migraine. I felt like vomiting and I was so sore I could hardly get to the bathroom. I had diarrhea in addition and now that it is my third day the fever is gone but I still feel unwell and fatigued. This is the worse possible illness I have had in years. I was down in bed for two days and it was agony to get up and around. I had no idea I could feel so lousy. I am a nurse and now I am afraid to recommend going through this to someone else. | Vaccine on 12/03/2020 at a Walgreen's. The technician was well skilled in giving intramuscular injections. I am sure she had no idea how sick I was going to get. | F | 59 | | 12/6/2020 | 3 | Shingles Vaccine | Joint pain, numbness and pins and needles feeling in hands and feet. Tired and a slight numbness in jaw. Also red and swelling at injection site. | Shot was given at doctors office since I was there for physical. Not looking forward to the second shot. | F | 53 | | 12/5/2020 | 1 | Shingles Vaccine | 1st shot, my arm was a little sore for a couple of days and that's it. 2nd shot, woke up in the middle of the night with a high fever, shivering, the shakes, could not get warm, horrible headache, horrible body aches, nausea...I thought I was getting Covid-19?? I received the vaccine on the 2nd of Dec and it's Saturday and I'm still not at 100%. If I were to do over, I would opt out completely! | I received the 2nd shot on the 2nd of December and the pharmacist did a great job! | F | 58 | | 12/5/2020 | 5 | Shingles Vaccine | No effects from first shot. Second shot, I woke in the middle of the night with a skull crushing headache and fever. Over 24 hours and still achy and tired. I wish I knew about the potential for side effects. I would have still taken it, but wouldn't have feared Covid infection. | F | 62 | | 12/4/2020 | 4 | Shingles Vaccine | First dose was painful going in, felt that the pharmacist gave the injection too fast and really stabbed it in. Arm was quite sore for 4-6 days, could not sleep lying on that side. But nothing else. Second dose didn't hurt at all, but I got flu like symptoms. I had a light headache which turned into a migraine. I went to bed the next day at 7 pm and had chills/ felt flushed. Ruddy face. Arm is swollen near injection site and there's a rectangular band of red skin. | Got shot at CVS pharmacy | M | 57 | | 12/4/2020 | 2 | Shingles Vaccine | With the first shot I developed a terrible headache for several hours that Tylenol did nothing for. Two months later with the second shot I developed a high pitched hissing sound in my head (tinnitus) within an hour and as the day went on I wasn't feeling good. Overnight I developed chills, fever, muscle aches, and very inflamed joints. When I got up in the morning I felt like I might faint and had to lay down immediately. I spent the rest of the day, the night, and the next day in bed feeling like I had the flu. A month later I feel well but that hissing sound in my head continues! I'm sorry I got the Shringrix vaccination! While trying to be proactive with my health I feel damaged now. | Both shots were administered by my pharmacist as recommended by my physician. | F | 63 | | 12/4/2020 | 1 | Shingles Vaccine | The first shot of shingrix was no problem. The second shot was very bad with fever of 101.50, chill, my blood pressure went up to 166/105 and my heartbeat is 113, very weak and I had to go to ER! 2 weeks later I still feel weak and body ache! | F | 67 | | 12/4/2020 | 5 | Shingles Vaccine | First Dose: Days 1-4 very sore right deltoid, redness, swollen area 6 hrs after vaccine, I had a 2 minute episode where tongue and mouth became numb, tingly , felt "funny" a few minutes, 2nd day I got a sore on tip of tongue and itchy tingly spot on bottom left llip | Dr's office | F | 57 | | 12/3/2020 | 1 | Shingles Vaccine | Very dissatisfied. Got first shot 11-24-20. Arm was swollen and hot for 4 days...basically the worst case of "stomach Flu" I have ever had. I haven't had a flu shot since 2008 due to becoming violently ill. Haven't had the flu since. Will not be getting second shot. | F | 50 | | 12/3/2020 | 4 | Very sore injection site right after and even still, 3 days later. It's also warm and red. I got a headache the night of the injection and the following day. I also felt flu like symptoms. Achy, ran a fever of 101.5, and had terrible teeth chattering chills. I missed a day of work. I will follow through with 2nd round though because everything I have read and heard about shingles sounds far more painful than a few days of some mild discomfort. I will plan the next dosage before my days off and plan to stay home and recoup. | I recieved my injection at a local pharmacy and it was given by a trusted pharmacist. | F | 51 | | 12/2/2020 | 3 | Red swollen surrounding injection site & beyond ... using ice & heat & ibuprofen.hot to touch. 1st dose 11/302020 @pharmacy | Should provide better information to pharmacist regarding side effects so patients get that information.. | F | 79 | | 12/2/2020 | 3 | Day 4 and my arm is swollen and red down from the injection site. Still painful and have to sleep with a pillow under my arm. Pain in the left side of my neck. Nervous about the thought of having to get the 2nd dose. | Got it done at Walgreens. | F | 61 | | 12/2/2020 | 3 | After part 1 of vaccine felt sick within 6 hrs, ended up in bed 2 days but no fever. I just had part 2 and within 4 hrs I was shaking, fever of 101.8, body pains. It has been 3 days and still feel awful with bad headaches and general feeling of being sick although no fever on day 3. This vaccine is wayyyyy worse than I thought. I would suggest to others considering the vaccine to take it on a Friday..this way you can recoup over weekend. | Left upper arm.
