The rash continued for quite a few weeks. There were about a dozen bumps on his chest and about a dozen on his back. The both shots were in the deltoid, but patient was not sure if they were both in the muscle because "one was deeper, and one was shallower" which led to wrong injection technique. The patient said it slowly started to go away and he still has a little bit of rash and rash lasted for two months/quite a few weeks. The patient said that, it has not come and gone. it seems to be receding to his spine and midline to his front. it started at the arms and all of his upper body but as it recedes it is mostly going to his Spinal area. The patient said that, rash was pretty much gone but his ears are still itching a little bit. The corner of his left arm there was a rash. It was not that itchy.  The patient said that, rash slowly went away and is not noticeable at this time. The patient received the Shingrix two shot series. They were both given at the same pharmacy but were administered by two different pharmacists. The pharmacy should have that information on file.
