 1  Shingles Vaccine After 2nd shot 2 years ago, having frequent headaches, arthritis (which I didn't have before), fatigue and allergic rhinitis. Also have had shingles recently as well as fever blisters which is new. DO NOT GET SHINGRIX! Again, do not take these shots. There needs to be a class action lawsuit for this drug. F 75

 2  Shingles Vaccine Minimal side effects within 24 hours. Developed fatigue and intense soreness at injection site within 48 hours. A red rash developed at 48 hours and has spread across my bicep. The rash is red, hot to touch, and itches. It's been 6 days and the rash has not improved. This was my first dose and I'm not sure I will get a second. F 55

 1  Shingles Vaccine Extremely sore arm, headache, chills, fever, muscle aches & fatigue for about 4 days. 5 days later I developed tingling & numbness in both hands. Extreme headache. Numbers spread from ribcage to toes. I've been in hospital .for 16 days now. After multiple mri's & CT scans, lumbar puncture, ekg, eeg, nerve conduction & bloodwork galore they have ruled out Lyme & GBS, & can find no other infection or mpingenent in nerves/muscluature, can't dnd infection. Have had very slight improvement with some sensation returning. Discharge from hospital tomorrow. Continue PT at home. I was healthy & active previously. I firmly believe that in the absence of any othervdiagnosis it was the Shingrix vax. 1st Shingrix vax received 7/9 at Walgreens pharmacy. Will not be getting second dose. May neveget full sensation beck. F 63

 1  Shingles Vaccine Husband and I both got the Shingrix vaccination. Two weeks later, I had a very large blister at the injection site and my chest was covered in cold sore, and they began to appear on my neck and face. About 4 weeks later, I developed an ulcer in my right eye - which my opthomologist said is commonly caused by herpes Zoster. A few weeks later, I began having the same symptoms in my left eye. Now I am developed a sore in the inside of my cheek. Seeing the dentist in a few days. My husband developed rashes covering his entire back and lower torso. Now he continues to get outbreaks on his arms, stomach and back of legs. Absolute nightmare.. We both had our first dose 3/12/2022 Lot: DC434 We will not be getting our second dose. F 50

 2  Shingles Vaccine I took the Shingrix vaccine last week. I was sick within 24 hours with flu like symptoms - lasted 24 hours. Yesterday and today I have developed these nasty, itchy bumps on both lower legs. They look like mosquito bites but I wasn't outside. No bugs in my house! This itch is insanity! 1st F 55

 4  Shingles Vaccine I have had pretty substantial side effects from first dose. I’m rating as satisfied as I expect a strong reaction means it’s working. First day, no issues. That night woke with 103.5 fever, chills, swelling at injection site. Day two: still fever 100.4 along with bad joint pain in hands, ankles, feet. First dose. CVS pharmacy injection left deltoid F 60

 3  Shingles Vaccine Shringrix vaccine reaction has more severe reaction than Covid19 vaccine Arm pain set after 3hrs, mild fever 37.7-38.4 degree and headache over the next two days after first shot of Shringrix. General tiredness, my first time experiencing armpit pain in needle arm side which started on the second day and am still feeling the mild pain. Good that no swelling occur. F 53

 4  Shingles Vaccine Very sick flu-like after 2nd shot for a day. But, who wants shingles so I was willing to go thru the side effects. First shot same but 2nd was worse I think. Done now! Believe me you don't want shingles after I saw what my mom went thru there is no way I'd not get the 2 shots. F 69

 1  Shingles Vaccine I had the first shot four days ago. Since then I've had fever, bad pain and swelling at the injection site, body aches, nausea, heavy-duty diarrhea, restless leg syndrome and fatigue. I get the flu shot every year but have NEVER had reactions like this. If the second shot is supposed to be worse than the first, definitely not going back to get it!! 6/16/2022 doctor's office first shot F 60
6/20/2022
 5  Shingle Vaccine No serious side effects at all, only minor soreness at the injection site that lasted a couple of days with both injections I’ve had both injections and only difference was there was redness along with soreness on the first injection and just soreness with the second M 58
