 3  Shingles Vaccine I had posted the wrong date for my first dose. It was July 29, not August 29. Doses need to be at least two months apart. After I posted, I should have taken more Tylenol because the fever and body aches returned by midnight. Had to take more Tylenol this morning, but now gaining energy. F 65

 4  Shingles Vaccine Had my first dose on August 29, 2020, at 11 a.m.. About 5 hours later developed a low grade fever and body shakes that lasted approximately 4 hours. Next day only the sore arm remained. My second dose was today, 10/9/20, at same time of day. No fever or body shakes as of 9 p.m. Arm soreness is less than first dose. I had taken Tylenol before I left to get the vaccine, however. Received both doses at Osco Pharmacy. F 65

 3  Shingles Vaccine I got the shingles vaccine at around 10am 8/10/20. Just after 12am on 8/11/20, I woke up with terrible chills, I was shaking so hard I could barely walk. Took a hot bath and the chills are better but now I feel like I have a fever and my stomach is slightly upset. If it weren't for the experiences on here I would think I have Covid. Going to go take some Tylenol in hopes I feel better in the morning. F 59

 3  Shingles Vaccine I got my first shingrix vaccine on Wednesday 10 7 and it is ten 9 today and I am still not feeling great I feel very lethargic and like I have the flu. I was told that the second one is even worse so I will be prepared to stay in bed. I hope that these vaccines work for what we have to go through when getting them. I got my vaccination at a Walgreens in my left arm F 66

 5  Shingles Vaccine Arm is sore, feeling fatigue, and a headache. I was expecting all of these since I researched the vaccine info from CDC and manufacturer. Got my flu shot same day and really this is no big deal compared to the THREE times I've had shingles. I will be getting the 2nd injection because post herpetic neuralgia really sucks. Got shingrix and afluverin at CVS @ 9:45AM 10/07/20. Pharmacist very skilled in injection technique, and made sure I already knew the facts about injection site reactions. F 51

Chills stopped and fever subsided, but for rest of day had bad headache, no appetite, and basically felt like I was put in a sack and beaten with a bat. In bed 7:30pm. Slept well and woke normal time next morning and felt normal. M 57

 2  Shingles Vaccine Only had the 1st shot yesterday. I have Fibromyalgia. The arm shot was given in (it's given in the upper muscle of the arm) felt twice as big & felt like a truck hit it. Thought sleeping would help bc I was tired beyond belief. WRONG!! Then my other shoulder (joint) started to kill me!! I was taking Ibuprofen 800s every 8 hrs, Tylenol 500s every 4 hrs. And EXHAUSTED!!! Just want to keep sleeping, but it hurts too bad!! PCP's office didn't carry vaccine, I asked. Got from Rite Aid Pharmacy. NO ONE warned me about how bad it is, esp for people with Fibromyalgia!!! Yes, I'm still getting 2nd one...bc my sister got Shingles & it lasted like 8 months & was horrible nerve pain. I will live through the Fibromyalgia flair, & it'll be over quicker than Shingles. man, if I catch Shingles anyway...I'm going to be pissed!!!! F 50

Slight fever-99 degrees. Worth it to not get shingles tho, my grandmother suffered terribly when she had it and lost vision in 1 eye. Was given IM in left deltoid at my family doctors.
