[|Human|] I am 61 and had the vaccine about 1 1/2 years ago. I just recently had a pain in the calf of my leg that was severe enough that I went to my doctor to make sure it was not a blood clot. I noticed a place on my leg that looked like I had scraped it but it also looked kind of like three bug bites. The doctor asked about it and brought up the idea that it may be shingles. I can not find anything about shingles after the vaccine. I have a grand child that if only 7 1/2 months old that concerns me that I have been kissing and holding her. Can you give me some idea of what to expect if a person gets shingles after the vaccinel
[|AI|]  HIT hanks for posting your query.  Shingles will occur in groups over a line, There will be multiple skin lesions and not just 2-3.  Also, the pain is felt over the skin and is very sharp.  I don't think its shingles. But for next 1-2 days avoid contact with your grandchild, if it is shingles then in next 2 days there will be even more skin lesions which increases the possibility of the diagnosis of Shingles.  But if there is no new skin lesions in 1-2 days then Shingles is unlikely. Hope this information is useful to you. Any clarification feel free to ask. Regards.
