 1  Shingles Vaccines I have a rash that started on my back then moved to my stomach and finally my arms and hands. It's 2 months out and it's gotten worse every day. I'm seeing the dermatologist today but based on these comments I'm not hopeful. I wish I could go back two months when I had NO problems and say NO to this vaccine. Has anyone recovered or are "we" the next Alexei Navalnys? M 56

 4  Shingles Vaccine The day of the vaccination I could barely lift my arm it was so sore. The next morning I was really achy so took some Tylenol and went about my day. By the afternoon I was feeling really bad. I had aches, joint pain and was running a fever of 101. I took some ibuprofen, took a bath and got in bed. The following morning I felt much better but had a fairly big rash on my abdomen and chest. Weird. Second dose 03/18/2022 at the Safeway Pharmacy by the pharmacist. F 71

 1  Shingles Vaccine I had the first vaccine 3/8/22. Sore arm next day then following day the injection site became very painful. Developed 6 hours of vomiting, then diarrhea, muscle aches, fatigue, brain fog. Now over a week has passed and still feel unwell and needing to sleep a lot. Poor appetite. My PCP said I had a more severe reaction than most and would feel better in 24 hours. That was 264 hours ago. M 60

 4  Shingles Vaccine I had severe side effects with dose 1 in OCT 2021, and same for dose 2 March 10 2022. Severe muscle aches, chills, severe fatigue, nausea. I knew what I as in for, but figure I will get through this again, and will feel better in 3 or 4 days. My brother had shingles, and no way I want to go through that! Dose 1, October 2021, dose 2 March 10 2022. Administered at local pharmacy. F 52

 5  Shingles Vaccine It's been 24 hours and my arm is a little sore at injection site and I was tired. I probably had a low grade fever. This was a cakewalk compared to the trauma associated with all 3 Covid vaccines. I'm glad I got this vaccine. Everyone complains about all the negative side effects. I didn't have most of these scary sounding side affects - beats having shingles F 57

 1  Shingles Vaccine Next day after Shingrix shot my husband had bad neck pain. Day after that, it developed into full flu type symptoms with high fevers. Symptoms continued so tested for Covid which was negative. Days after ended up hospitalized and diagnosed with MDS. Doctors said he was unusually sick for MDS and ended up in the hospital for over a month and on a ventilator twice. He kept having unknown inflammatory problems. They could not figure out why he was so ill. He was completely debilitated by the time he was released home and had to learn to walk again. He had a BMT Feb 2021 to treat the MDS but continued to have inflammatory problems - due to complications he passed away in Oct. 2021. Can't prove the Shingrix shot was to blame or had anything to do with the outcome but the coincidence in timing makes me wonder and continues to haunt me. What if he had never gotten the shot? We will never know that. - His Widow He only had the first shot. His doctors advised he would never have the 2nd shot. M 58

 5  Shingles Vaccine 6 days after the shot I developed a rash on the dorsal side of both mis-forearms up past my elbows, slightly itchy. So far nothing else. The injection site was pretty sore the day after but subsided quickly. F 62

 4  Shingles Vaccine Dose #2 -- Chills; Shivering, Fatigue began after 12 hours after vaccine administration / Symptoms lasted about 24 hours. Dose #1 -- Fatigue only for 24 hours Side effects not bad as anticipated.I think it's better than having shingles...I think vaccine is about 90 percent effective. F 59

 5  Shingles Vaccine I'm very surprised at all of these negative ratings. This is not an experimental drug like the covid vaccine is and I see most of these people also had the covid vaccine. I was in the middle of a shingles attack when I took my first Shingrix shot and within 24 hours was feeling much better and my shingles attack was almost gone. I don't know if I was just getting over the attack and this was just a coincidence or the vaccine helped but I only have a sore arm where the shot was given but feel much better over all. I think most people with a complaint come here just to complain. Those who don't have a complaint don't feel the need to give a rating. I feel much better about this than the experimental covid vaccine which I would never be stupid enough to take. I caught covid and it was nothing. My, almost, life long dealings with shingles led me to finally get this vaccine and so far it appears to have been a good decision. M 61

 4  Shingles Vaccine next day, arm sore but not as bad as with Covid booster shot, however, felt tremendous nausea lastest all day and I kept going to sleep every few hours. Could barely eat a thing all day. Felt better the next day, but still don't feel 100% three days later. Slight brain fog. Arm still a little sore and don't feel as hardy as before the shot. Feel fragile. F 67

 1   I got my second dose on Jan 5 2022.I experienced the red sore arm as expected, however I did not expect the excruciating pain in my left shoulder blade down to my elbow and occasional chest pain that sent me to the ER 3 weeks after the shot. After EKG and chest exrays were normal, I blame this vaccine!Still have pain off and on F 62

 5  Shingles Vaccine First shot I received along with my Covid booster. Slight headache and slight nausea. Could have been from the Covid shot. Received second shingrix shot yesterday and just a slight headache. Wife was the same as me. M 64

 1  Shingles Vaccine 12 hrs after the shot, arm swollen and painful, sore throat, total Head cold, stuffed up, joints hurt to move, back and neck inflammation, zero voice, mucus between ears and nose, could not breath easily. I had SARS and this is my 13th day of this reaction to Shingrix shot is totally worse. I'll never get 2nd shot. The Drs should have to hand you a brochure to read with what's in these vaccines before you agree to take them. Two weeks and I feel better today but who know what tomorrow will bring!! Don't get it. Just lasts 4 years. Not worth it. F 70
