Shingrix
3 Days ago I had my first
Shingrix
jab. By the evening I felt like I had bad indigestion and the last 2 days I have had very unpleasant upper body aching, mainly in the chest and upper arms. Has any body else experienced similar side effects or should I be concerned.

Shingrix Second Dose
l had my second jab on Thursday. Side affects are not as bad as the first, but I spent most of the night awake with shivers, aches and a horrible headache. Better today (Friday) but I feel cold and aches. That vaccine generates a good immune response.

Shingrix

Shingrix Vaccine
Hi, would just be interested in your views/advice please.I apparently had shingles years ago in my 30s I think, but I had no rash. And I believe I had chickenpox as a child. Would it be advisable for me to still have the vaccine please? Thanks.

Shingrix Side Effects
I just had my second vaccine. Day two my side effects included: muscle pain where the injection went in, migraine, and nauseous. I didn’t have those symptoms after the first vaccine with the exception of the muscle pain. Today is day three. I’m only experiencing a sore muscle where the injection went

shingrix vaccine
Contacted my GP surgery to request my vaccine. The receptionist was adamant I was not eligible. Saying I would get it next year when I am 70. I explained the NHS had sent me a letter explaining I should get antivirals if I got Covid. Told her my condition and that I was taking steroids. She said my name

Influenza A while on W & W,-- the price for not wanting a vaccine
They ALL advised me to get a Flu shot, a Prevnar 20 shot and a
Shingrix
shot. I was getting more needed info, but the panic I felt in my gut would not subside, plus I struggled with the words of " You and Your immune system is now compromised."

Retuximab and jabs
I'm due the first
shingrix
vaccine this week at GP surgery and was considering having the flu vaccine at the same time while I'm there. Its too late to ring my rheumatology helpline so I'm wondering if anyone on retuximab has had two jabs the same day, different arms. Thanks.

Can shingrix vaccination effect platelet count?
I’m not keen on increasing the dose and I’m due soon for my 2nd dose of
Shingrix
. Might the vaccine effect my platelet level. My flu jab is due as well and I’m wondering how to space all these vaccines .

Shingrix vaccine for immunosuppressed people aged 50+
I thought I would just post this from the gov.uk website because I have just a bit of struggle convincing our surgery that I was eligible, so maybe other people haven't been invited either. The full list is on chrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk

Shingles vaccination - or not?
Shingrix
is available in my country (Norway) so I enquired of my GP about any recommendation in the light of my long-term polymyalgia (7+ years, maintained on 2.5 mg daily pred for about a year but unbelievably resistant to even very gradual reductions). I'm 71, no other medical conditions.

Shingrix vaccine - fitting it around rituximab infusions
Hi I understand the
Shingrix
vaccine is given as two doses, 2 to 6 months apart. I am under 60 and assuming I can persuade my GP of my eligibility, when should the vaccines be best scheduled around my 6 monthly rituximab infusions?

Shingrix vaccine and graves
Is it risky to have vaccines like
Shingrix
, is it likely to cause a flare up? Same applies to covid and flu vaccines. I cannot get a straight answer anywhere and specialist says ok for covid and flu but I have huge graces reaction to last covid jab in May. Any views or experience please?

Anagrelide advice
As an aside, I've been told at GP that I'm not eligible for the
Shingrix
vac - I would beg to differ on that, but will take that up when I'm feeling a bit better! Thanks all Anne-Marie.
