Anyone else react to Shingrix vaccine?

Alligatorob said:
Yes, but nothing bad, no worse than the average flu shot. You seem to have a bit more reaction...

I suspect few if any reactions are as bad as getting shingles.

Very true, but there is an additional Extroidinary reason to get a Shingles vaccine, probably Shingrix.

Shingles infection may activate dormant neurological herpes viruses, causing inflammation and accumulation of Alzheimer's associated proteins in the brain​

Wow! Hard to believe, but it‘s all over the internet.

Thank you for posting that link David. Very helpful since I am seriously considering getting the Shingrix vaccine. I found out that I have to pick up the vaccine from my pharmacy. Have to check with my insurance tomorrow to see if they pay for it.

I got my shingles shot # 1 yesterday. Site of shot reaction is uncomfortable, plus I was completely wiped out by yesterday afternoon. I went to bed for 3 hrs. I never nap during the day so that was highly u usual for me. Also I’ve never had that reaction to a vaccine before. Today I’m still feeling puny, but I’m at least somewhat functioning.

I had the same issue with mine. Made me feel sick to my stomach as well. I felt lousy for a couple days. I'm thankful it's a lifetime vaccine.
 
I had the Shingles Booster shot a few year ago and felt awful for a few days. I ran into a nurse I know, in the village and she had heard that from quite a few people who had the booster.

Still, I know people who never had the shots and they got Shingles and it was miserable for them.

The second shot made me feel very tired for a few days. The first shot, no issues.
