Side Effects for Shingrix vaccine (zoster vaccine recombinant, adjuvanted)
Dose 1: Very sore arm at injection site for 5 days. Lethargy and low back pain for 2-3 days. On day 5 developed a raised, fluid-filled rash on leg that was very itchy but didn’t burn. Next day, more spots appeared on opposite leg. New spots appear daily (only on legs). Now a week out and hope this stops soon. Have a history of shingles two different times prior to vaccination. Will not be getting second dose.
Got a burning fever over 103° In bed for 24hrs not getting the second one
Burning sensations in my ankle, wrist, hip joints. Stiff neck. Extreme nausea, dizziness, lightheaded, tinnitus. Very sore stomach. Digestive problems. Shakiness.
Wouldn't recommend it ever! Had 1st dose, still not feeling well after 42 days.

Had chills that night and woke up with flu like symptoms theNext day body aches ,headaches .stomach ache which lasted about 36 hours! On day 10 I developed a rash ( little red bumbs) Started on my chest and spread to my back and arms and legs ! Very itchy! It has been day 13 after the vaccine now and I still have the rash
It ruined my life. Got first shot 4 years ago. 3 days later, I got my FIRST bout of shingles. It affected all my joints. I was walking an hour a day up/down hills. After the shot, I couldn't walk to my mailbox. Never got second but get recurring shingles.
The day after I received the vax, I experienced horrible chills with teeth chattering. This was in the summer. I was so weak I had to crawl to the bathroom. Deep regret for getting it.
2nd dose:Day 2-4=flu/chills/fever 101Day 5-11= itchy rash on back/legs/chest-raised apples
Severe bowel pain, palpitations. Ended up in emergency. High white cell count. Also got mouth ulcers.. Had the vaccine 6/12/23. Now 28/3/24 still feeling tired and unwell. Having a review with my intergrative doctor soon. Before the jab I was feeling very well.
After 1st shot, sore arm 2-3 days, chills 24 hrs later, urticaria for weeks,constant bilateral shoulder joint pain for 3 months now. Had 2nd shot 4 months later with sore arm 2-3 days, no fever, continued bilateral shoulder pain, intermittent urticaria.
I just got the shingles vaccine two days ago. My arm is in so much pain can't raise it above my head. I am woozy sleeping off & on and my inside body is so hot. My temp 101.1it's been one heck of an experience. It feels like the sameeffects from my first dose of the Covid vaccine except youron fire inside.I have chills and have my heat on this vaccine I recommend no one to get it. It's not a good feeling at all I feel drugged for the past two days slurring my words and myHeadache hasn't yet gone away taking Tylenol every two -four hrs to relieve. Think again about this vaccine
Very sore for eight hours at the injection site. I could not raise my arm. On day two I started to get a rash on my neck. It is now day five and I finally went to urgent care to find out what the heck is going on. I thought it was shingles but also know that shingles looked a little different than this. It sounds like the symptoms of a rash that many people on this website are describing. It is extremely itchy and sometimes on fire. I have steroid cream that I hope now will help. I will not get the second shot.
Administered at my Dr's office. I will not get the second shot.
I got second shingrix vaccination 19 days ago.My shoulder continues to have severe pain.I got two steroid shots in the doctors office,four days ago to relieve the pain.It is still painful, with no relief.Range of motion is painful.
I got both vaccinations at the pharmacy.The first injection was fine.But six months later the second one is causing big problem with severe pain.
SHINGRIX (Zoster Vaccine Recombinant, Adjuvanted) is the WORST vaccine EVER!! I got it yesterday and a couple of hours later my arm was hotter than my oven and I had body aches all day today, so bad that Chris wanted to take me to the emergency room. Ugh. NEVER MORE. Shingrix Adverse Reaction. @SHINGRIX SUCKS. give me the shingles any day--I have had them twice and they are nothing compared to the Vaccine.
First dose this year, same as last year.
Soreness at injection site, EXTREME fatigue, chills. I was so weak after the second injection I received in the month of August that I had to crawl to the bathroom in the middle of the night. Also, woke up with severe chills to the point that my teeth were chattering...had to put 3 blankets on top of me to get warm. This was in the middle of summer. I regret getting it.
Within four hours felt feverish, body aches, headache, and palpitations. Hard to tell if the affects were worse because I got the flu shot at the same time. Two days later, arm still sore, although not as bad, and still having palpitations. Since I've had shingles twice in the last year, I really hope this series of vaccines helps me from getting it again. Doctors office definitely did not prepare me for the side effects.
This is a follow up from my 8-3-2023 vaccine. I did not have shingles after all, still having symptoms that was thought to be shingles. My regular PCP said it's vasculitis, a skin reaction to vaccines and I am not to get the second shot. I am now taking a medrol dose pack and will see a dermatologist if I don't improve with the steroids. I hope this comment helps someone else who may develop a rash with blistering after a vaccine.
Severe muscle and nerve pain in neck, shoulders. Headache, nausea/vomiting, fatigue
Since taking these shots, I have had hot flashes all day long and at night. I am way past menopause. I often wonder if this drug also brought on multiple myeloma too. Bad drug. Do not take this shot!
1st shingrix shot not bad. 2nd shot, aches and pains in aall my limbs, very fatigued, shot site very red and swollen. Took some Tylenol so I could sleep.'I had the shingles 4 years ago one year after receiving the Zostavax vaccine. Shingles lasted a few months with nerve pain around my back and over my heart. I advise getting the ShringrixVaccine though.
Within an hour of getting the vaccine, I got a migraine headache, severe nausea and pain at the injection site. I did not feel good for four days. Around day 7 I broke out in shingles. I am now battling shingles rash all over, three weeks now. A spot will heal and another spot pops up somewhere else. Today, two on back of neck, one on shoulder blade and another above my upper lip. Current meds are valtrex 1 Gram 3 x a day, topical steroid for itching and Tylenol for pain. I will not get the second dose.
First dose of Shingrix vaccine on August 3, 2023. This vaccine is horrible. I will not get any vaccine of any kind going forward.

I believe my immune system response to this drug is causing an inflammation in my pelvic area and suspect my bladder and urethra are ulcerated.Note: Although Humira cleared my yskin up quickly the 1st time I was on it the second time it was much less effective. My dermatologist states that they are now finding out that for some people who have interrupted treatment the drug seems less effective on future regimens.
I was extremely lightheaded and nausea. I vomited all over my room. EVIL, EVIL, EVIL PILL!!!!!
My sons hives only go away with this med. It makes him sleepy. I've tried it and it puts me straight out. It would be a safe but sleepy alternative to anxiety.
This medicine took awhile to work, but it seems to really be working for me. I am no longer taking any Xanax. Just Buspar 15mg and Valerian root. It is slow but steady. Keep breathing and stay hopefully...there is a treatment for you...maybe this is it. It is not near as popular as the SSRI's. The best thing about it is no sexual side effects and no sedation! For chronic "mild" anxiety I would give it a try.
Severe constipation; treated w/ metamucil 2x/day, fiber pills, and ex-lax.Headache, dizziness, and sleepiness for about 2 hrs after taking 24hr dose; decreased after first week.
Suspected Rheumatoid Arthritis
while i smoke free, now I am FAT!
Right in the very beginning I had constipation but that stopped. Now I have none.
Mood swings, severe nausea, dizzyness, trouble concentrating, terrible nightmares, general depression
This is a very expensive drug with common side effects that are alarming to patients. The being out of breath caused me great anxiety as I tried to find out the cause of my problem.
