 4  Shingles Vaccine My Walgreens pharmacist said the effects can start about 2 hours after the shot (which was at 1pm on a Friday). I felt an intense muscle soreness in my left arm where the shot was administered, and took a Tylenol. Later in the evening, I felt tired and weary. Also, my breathing was a little difficult, but I used a rescue inhaler (for my allergic asthma). The next morning, I felt exhausted with the same muscle soreness in my left arm. Took another Tylenol, but felt better after a cup of coffee and Corn Flakes. I usually like to go outside for a morning job, but today I had to walk for about a third of the way due to fatigue. Fortunately, there’s no fever, but the Shingrix vaccine definitely produces a more persistent muscle soreness than a flu vaccine. It’s better to take the vaccine on a Friday afternoon, so you can rest over the weekend. 11/20/2020. Administered at Walgreens Pharmacy. M 51

 3  Shingles Vaccine 1st dose no issues, 2nd dose terrible side effects. Flutelike symptoms next day including muscle pain, chills, aches, terrible headache, tiredness. All have lessened except for neck pain on day 4. Told by the nurse I would feel muscle pain at the site of injection, no other mention of other symptoms. 3 days of unexpected time off from work. Plan on taking this just before a weekend or take time off prior. My managers were not pleased. I hope this is worth it. F 54

 2  Shingles Vaccine Had 1st shot 8/29. Weak for 2 days. Normal wallop @ injection site. No paperwork disclosing side effects. 2nd shot much worse@injection site. 4 days now my ears are buzzing. Can't sleep. Had to get this as I almost lost my eyesight 4 years ago with v-1 outbreak. Feel strongly vaccine disclosure should be given to patient.they do for the flu shot. Pharmacy. F 69

 4  Shingles Vaccine Pharmacist said the effects usually start about 4 hours after shot, and they did. Felt an overall malaise, then a very worn down tired feeling. I woke up in the middle of the night and felt even more weary, like all of my muscles, including breathing, were very weak. I woke up feeling drained, but perked up a little after coffee and oatmeal. It's 28 hours since the shot and I feel slight nausea, arm is super sore, no fever. This is way different than any other vaccine I've had. At Safeway pharmacy rmacy. M 72

 3  Shingles Vaccine Had my first dose lastnight. Didn't hurt at all to have the shot administered. Within 2 hrs my arm felt very achy and tendered. Took Advil and went to bed. Didn't sleep well as pain was pretty bad ( I'm not a softy). This morning a experienced awful stomach pain at top of my abdomen which lasted a couple of minutes or so and so far nothing more. I'm concerned about having the second shot though considering how bad my whole arm feels today. Done at my pharmacy F 61

 1   Had the vaccine shot #1 at CVS 11/13/2020 at 11am. By the time I got to my car my heart starting racing, felt like I was going to pass out, lost appetite. Started alternating ibuprofen and acetaminophen immediately. Thought I was getting better. 11am 11/14/2020 started feeling generally ill with aches in every muscle and joint. By 6 pm I spiked a fever from 98.4 to 101.8 in one hour. Spent entire day 11/15 and 11/16 fighting fever and body aches along with injection site pain, rash and itching. Doctor told me to take antihistamine, put a cold pack on injection site and take ibuprofen or acetaminophen. He was afraid I had a rare infection or arthus reaction. I will not be getting second dose. I am still under the weather on 11/18/2020 but have no fever and rash has tamed a bit. Shot given in upper left arm. No pain when given. Side effects started within 5 min of shot with worst reaction at around 29 hours post shot. F 52

 4  Shingle Vaccine No issues with 1st shot at all. I got the 2nd shot yesterday and it hurt much more than the 1st one. Within a few hours, it hurt to lift my arm or move it so I took a Tylenol & an Ibuprofen & went to bed. At 3am (12 hours after getting shot), I woke with a horrible headache, chills & 100.00 degree fever. I'm taking Tylenol & Ibuprofen today and resting. Both shots administered in doctor's office. F 56

 4  Shingles Vaccine I had two to three days of flu-like feelings which I got over quickly. However several weeks after getting the second vaccination I am experiencing temporary blackout and I wonder if that has anything to do with the vaccine because I also have low blood pressure F 72
