Shingles and other vaccines

Hi. I've just had my shingles vax and the after effects were horrible.

I've now read that the second dose could be worse. I'm in two minds as to whether I should get it.

Has anyone had the second one after suffering from the first? Was it really bad?

I've reacted badly to all of my various vaccines over the years but this shingles one has been the worst.

Is there something about having an auto immune that makes having vaccines worse?

Of, course we know having the shingles vaccine doesn't prevent you from getting it, but just lessens the effect
