I had soreness and hot swelling.

Yes. Inverse experience from what I've read. 1st felt like the flu x2. 2nd not so bad. I took the 2nd shot right at 6 months.

Yep, same thing here. Felt like shite the next day. Flu-like symptoms but no fever. Malaise. Was a zombie at work. Zero motivation in the gym. Absolutely did not want to lift weights, so instead I rode the stationary bike for a little while, and that's all I could muster.

I had the Shingrix shots about 2 years ago.
Arm was sore as crap for a couple of days. I was a little drowsy for the rest of the day. Woke up the next day feeling fine.
Second dose was nowhere near as bad as the first one. Some arm soreness

Here's the ingredients if anyone is wondering...
quote:
The Shingrix vaccine contains a recombinant surface glycoprotein E (gE) antigen combined with the AS01B adjuvant system, which consists of 3-O-desacyl-4’-monophosphoryl lipid A (MPL) and QS-21.
Each 0.5-mL dose includes the following inactive ingredients to stabilize and deliver the vaccine:
Sucrose (20 mg) as a stabilizer
Sodium chloride (4.385 mg)
Dioleoyl phosphatidylcholine (DOPC) (1 mg)
Potassium dihydrogen phosphate (0.54 mg)
Cholesterol (0.25 mg)
Sodium dihydrogen phosphate dihydrate (0.160 mg)
Disodium phosphate anhydrous (0.15 mg)
Dipotassium phosphate (0.116 mg)
Polysorbate 80 (0.08 mg)
The vaccine does not contain preservatives, gelatin, or eggs. It may contain trace amounts of residual host cell proteins and DNA from the manufacturing process using Chinese hamster ovary cells.

Exactly.
The vaccine may not prevent the rash itself. But it most likely will prevent the post-herpetic neuralgia, or pain associated with Shingles. Which is the goal anyways.

I had a bad case in 1990, it was living hell for two weeks. The shot is worth any short-lived side effects

1st shot for me: Knocked me near unconscious for three days (felt flu symptoms when I was awake).
2nd shot for me: Knocked me near unconscious for three days (felt flu symptoms when I was awake).
I had shingles prior to the vaccine (roughly three years ago), and haven't had it since. If it keeps it away or severely hinders shingles, it was worth it. If it doesn't help much, or the vaccine wears off over time, what a waste of time & energy.
