 3  Shingles Vaccine Received second shot on 3/2/2023 and arm was very sore that night which prevented me from sleeping since I'm a side sleeper. Felt under the weather but nothing very specific except a moderate headache top of my head. The second day I was pretty much down and out feeling very lousy especially since I didn't sleep. Arm remains sore 3 days later and has a hot spot at the injection site. Since I revived the shot I'm noticing weird joint pain in my ankles mostly but also shoulder and left elbow. Today my right ankle is so bad I'm noticeably limping. I have no idea if it's related because I also started a new med at the same time so that determination is up in the air right now. Second vaccine M 72

 1  Shingles Vaccine Received my second Shingrix vaccine January 27th 2023 @ 11am. By 1pm I had a fever of 102.5 a red raised itchy rash erupted on my chest down my stomach. My joints were extremely painful exhaustion headache chills. The actual injection site was painful but compared to the other reactions it was manageable. Literally felt I would die that night. Today is February 9th and I am still fighting the red itchy burning rash all over my chest and neck. I would not recommend this vaccine to anyone. This was my second Shingrix vaccine F 51

Headache at bedtime, woke at two AM in the most intense pain of my life. Fever 102 with occasional chills and uncontrollable shaking.

 3  Recommendation from family & doctor 2nd dose, 1st evening, sore arm where injection was, heaviness later that evening due to muscle soreness. Next morning, the most EXTREME headache I have ever had. I am not prone to headaches, this one caused me to experience nausea, throw up and flashes of lights, when I closed my eyes. I have never thrown up from a shot. And NO I was not sick all morning but it lasted for approx 2 hours. Low grade fever 95.6°, no appetite till afternoon. Tired, arm soreness still but not as bad. Not sure I would ever had got this vaccine if I knew how bad the headache could be! The headache knocked me down to the floor!! 12/30, East Aurora Rite Aid at about 5:45 pm F 55
