I got the 1-and-done Johnson & Johnson. Very tired the first 3 days, then a very sore upper arm about 5 days later; and a major shingles outbreak (in an area not experienced before) about 10 days later. They're both viruses, eh?

The shingles take quite awhile to fade away. But I'm moving in a better direction. Thx for good juju!

Urf. Hope you're feeling better Barbara! I heard that shingles can reappear as a side effect at times. You just got "lucky" I suppose.

Sorry to hear you had such a tough time, Barbara. Have you had the vaccine specifically designed to prevent shingles? I've had both Pfizer doses. After the first, sore upper arm and mild malaise - just vaguely "off" for two days. After the second dose, no noticeable effects. Clearly the level of side effects varies a lot. I hope you're all better now!
