Additional Information: GSK Receipt Date: 12-AUG-2022 Reporter's Comments: The reporter was the patient. The reporter stated that she had Shingrix shot around 1:15 in the afternoon on her left deltoid and an unspecified pneumonia shot at the same time in the right arm. (The Shingrix shot was given lower on the left arm that the 4th COVID booster which was given 2 days prior). The reporter noted that at the time of the Shingrix injection the left arm had no reaction, no red spot or anything. The reporter stated that she does not had the lot number of the Shingrix administered but it was given at her primary care doctor's office and she provided contact information for that office. The reporter stated that she was calling the GlaxoSmithKline response center reporting that she had an "good adverse reaction" to the Shingrix shot and wanted advice regarding whether or not she should receive the second Shingrix shot. The reporter indicated that the next morning, the left arm, at the spot where the Shingrix shot was given, was extremely swollen and larger. It was about the size of the palm of her hand. It was extremely hot and red and raised up quite a bit (not quite as thick as her thumb) but it was raised up. The reporter stated that by then she was also having chills and a fever. "Fever was over 101 and that lasted from the morning of June 1st through sometime in the early hours of June 5th and fever broke. So it was 101, on June 4th that night, it was 102.1 so the patient had the fever, chills, just tired, mostly bedridden. The reporter stated that she did had one spell where she could get up and go run and errand. She had a fever for those days. The reporter stated that the area stayed hot and red and by June 6th the swollen area had gone down a little bit but the welt was about 3 by 4 inches, still hot but the hard, red part of it by that point was just 2 by 2 inches, but it was still hot and red but she did not had a fever anymore or any other symptoms besides the site area. The reporter stated that, one month later, June 30, the area was no longer hot but she had about 5 hard nodules under her skin. Even on the day of reporting, the skin upon carefully looking, was discolored in that area, darker (especially after a shower) like a light discoloration like a light bruise. So she knew that her body did not like getting the shot. The reporter summarized by saying she was sick for a bit. The reporter consented to follow up.
