Concomitant products included COVID-19 VACCINE BIONTECH/PFIZER.   On 13th May 2021, the patient received the 2nd dose of Shingrix. On 1st June 2021, 19 days after receiving Shingrix, the patient experienced shingles, feeling miserable and emotional suffering. On an unknown date, the outcome of the shingles, feeling miserable and emotional suffering were not recovered/not resolved.   The reporter considered the shingles to be related to Shingrix. It was unknown if the reporter considered the feeling miserable and emotional suffering to be related to Shingrix.  Additional details provided were as follows: The reporter was patient herself. The patient received two dose series of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine, the first dose on 23rd March 2021 and the second dose on 22nd Jun 2021. The patient stated that she experienced shingles after getting the Pfizer Biontech vaccine and receiving the Shingrix vaccine. Batch number was not reported as patient disconnected the call. She stated that in between the two doses she had to fit her number two Shingrix inoculation. The pharmacist told her that would be a safe date away from 23rd March 2021 for the first Pfizer dose and her new date for the second dose was postponed till 22nd June 2021. They thought that there would be enough time as well.  She stated that something went terribly wrong. She stated that this was the second attack of shingles that she has had in-between 1st of June 2021 was number one and 22nd July 2021 was number two. It was on her face, in the same place and same symptoms, only this time it had spread very fast and the medication she was on did not seem to be doing anything. She stated that she received the medication on 20th July 2021 and reporting date was 23rd July 2021, so she had been on the medication fully for 3 days. She asked whether there was a bulleting on news network where she heard  that the Pfizer COVID-19 had an unusual amount of people calling in that they had developed shingles after they had their inoculations, even though they had protection like the reporter. She wanted to know if that was correct. She stated she would love information because she was going crazy. Her doctor was on vacation and she was suffering badly from a horrible outbreak all over her face and chest. Patient was referred back to the doctor that was covering for her doctor while he was out of town. She stated that she was getting help, she was just wondering and wanted more information on if that was going to be common because within six weeks she had exactly the same outbreak within six weeks. She stated that was number two outbreak since 1st June 2021 and 19th July 2021 and that was really bad that she could not handle that as she never had shingles in her life. She was very glad to get protection by Shingrix, but evidently she did not get protection for one reason or another. She wanted to know if her immune system was compromised. She wanted to know that why they referred her to Pfizer medical information because there was no information in that to give her. She cant find out anything. The patient did not consented to follow-up as the call got disconnected.
