 1  Shingles Vaccine 2nd dose caused extremely itchy rash developed on upper chest and is still a bit itchy after several weeks. I've had shingles approx ten years ago. This rash only itched and I didn't have the severe pain I had with shingles. But I'm not inclined to ever get Shingrix vaccination again. F 68

 3  Shingles Vaccine Received 2nd shot at 9:30 am on Wednesday. By 1:00 pm I was getting really tired. By 7:00 I was down and out! Flu symptoms, headache, burning eyes, body aches, stomach pain. Lasted about 24 hours. Injection site was incredibly sore and had rash. Able to function normally but still very tired with slight headache for the next few days. 1:00 am Sunday morning woke up with diarrhea and body aches again. F 52

 1  Shngles Vaccine Fatigue, exceptionally sore arm - could not lay on that side for 2 weeks. But worst of all, severe, persistent, debilitating urinary issues. I could not work for 2 months. Constant urgency, felt I had to pee 100% of the time . Just wiped? Still have to pee. It was maddening! Oh and also hesitancy, so I urgently felt I had to go ALL the time, but when I'd sit down I couldn't it's like those muscles just wouldn't engage to make it happen. I didn't initially put it together as a result of Shingrix, but I have ultimately been unwell since getting it. Most urinary symptoms have resolved, it took about 4 months to be mostly normal. I still have flare ups. Also strangle tingling sensations all over my body, often in my legs. I lose feeling in my fingers, feet, and parts of my legs. And I got shingles again anyway, 2 months after vaccination. Will not get a second dose. For those struggling - Epsom salt baths have made an astonishing difference for me. Also a combo of vit D, Zinc (not all the time just if I feel a flare up), vit C, and magnesium. Watch out for foods high in aginine, shingles can thrive from too much of it - things like tomatoes and nuts, chocolate, do a quick Google search to see what to avoid. Bananas feed our nerves and I found them a great help when I had shingles outbreaks. And a good probiotic to support gut health has helped my immune system hugely. Hope this helps someone. 🙠F 39

 1  Shingles Vaccine First shot I was in bed for a day. Developed a small trash that went away quickly. Just got second shot- very high fever, uncontrollable tremors all over, could not move any part of my body. Breathing was labored. This was horrible. I thought I was going to die. Now I have to use a walker, I am so weak and hurting all over. Dr gave me Lyrica so we will see. First dose mild symptoms and second dose was a terrifying experience! F 47

 4  Shingles Vaccine First shot: Whole body aches/pains, mild fever, headache, etc. that started about 24 hours after injection. Felt really bad for a few days. Then low energy after that. Took a solid week to feel normal again. Second shot: Was expecting similar reaction to first shot or worse, but symptoms were milder and only lasted for a day or two. Pleasantly surprised. M 54

 1  Shingles Vaccine Extremely sick within less than 24 hours. So SICK I considered to go to the ER. Warned my husband of my concern before I went to sleep. Solid hard days of all the mentioned side effects and fever of 101. First shot. I have had shingles in the past, and the previous shingles shot of a different brand. 5 days and now itching burning rash, continued pain and lump at injection sight. I will NOT get the 2nd shot. This is the worse experience I have had as side effects, and high up there on worse illness I have ever experienced. I would rather deal with a potential shingles future outbreak and get the medication to alleviate my shingles rather than this obviously released too soon vaccine. I recieved the shot 9-19-22. Don't even think I haven't considered, especially after reading these comments, CLASS ACTION SUIT. Get this off the market. F 60

 1  Shingles Vaccine Within a week or 2 after second dose (May 5th 2022) I starred having tingling, pins and needles, burning in feet and calvesI have tremors that wake me up at night. Muscle weakness all over. Shaking when I walk and it's been 4 months with no sign of returning to normal. It has gotten worse. I would rather have shingles that spend the rest of my life this way. It is debilitating. I will be warning people about the neuropathy and other very serious side effects. I am all for vaccines but this one is dangerous and can wreck your life. F 51

 3  Shingles Vaccine I experienced flu like symptoms with both of the shots. I got my second shot at a CVS. I had no problems immediately following. Maybe I had a little brain fog, but that is all. Later in the evening, my symptoms got far worse. I woke up in the middle of the night with my teeth chattering uncontrollably. I could not get warm. The next day I simply felt like I had a bad case of the flu, my skin hurt, my teeth hurt, and all over aches and pains. I stayed in bed almost all day. F 59
