Vaccine: VARZOS
Symptoms: Asthenia, Fatigue, Influenza like illness, Lethargy, Musculoskeletal pain
Clinical narrative: My shoulder was sore, which was expected, but the level of lethargy was not. The symptoms to me were very flu-like: achy muscles, weakness and extremely tired for at least two days. This is my second shingles shot and the first one was even more pronounced. It really knocked the stuffing out of me. All I wanted to do was lay around the house and sleep. It passed after a couple of days, but it took me out of circulation for a good 48 hours.

Clinical narrative: My son only received one shot that day (DTap), so we know the reaction was to that shot specifically. He received the shot on 8/27 in the afternoon. He complained of headache and soreness that evening and the next day. It wasn't until the evening of 8/28 that I noticed his arm when I changed his shirt for bed. It was very red, and very firm. It felt hot to the touch. His arm had swollen to twice it's size. He had a fever around 100 degrees. We called the nurse on call and asked what we should do. I was concerned because of his reaction to mosquito bites. The swelling starts and then stops on day 3 before going away with bug bites. At this point (with the shot), we were a little over 24 hours past the shot. I was concerned if the swelling would continue. We were told to wait. I gave him Ibuprofen. Woke him 6 hours later and gave him TYLENOL. We immediately called the Dr when the clinic opened and they got us in that morning. We saw the Dr. The swelling had gone down a tiny bit. He did an overall checkup. We were sent home to ice his arm and wait it out. He was better within a couple of days.

Symptoms: Headache, Influenza like illness, Myalgia, Nausea, Pyrexia
Clinical narrative: The first shot I got in April gave me fever all night but I was Ok in the morning. The second shot was much worse, as the fever subsided by 9 am or so but I felt like I had the flu for the next two days. I'm still in day 2. Nausea, headache that aspirin didn't affect, muscle aches. I am a very healthy person, nothing much affects me, but this was a much stronger effect than any of the literature on SHINGRIX suggests. Am wondering if the second dose is stronger or generally produces greater side effects.  Maybe this is silly to report, but if I had this much problem, I am sure others will.

Clinical narrative: On August 30, 2017, patient was suffering of a high fever. At some time during the day, his mother, gave him TYLENOL to bring down the fever. At around 5:00 PM, mother noticed that the fever had not come down and decided to dress patient up to take him to Pediatric clinic. While dressing him, mother noticed deep bruises of black and dark red on both of patient's legs. He was immediately taken to Pediatric clinic, where Dr. informed my wife and myself that his bruises appeared to be dangerous and there was nothing they could do at the clinic. She advised us to take him to the hospital as soon as possible so he could have tests run there. My wife, daughter and I proceeded to take patient to the closest hospital. I don't remember the names of the doctors but I have documents that prove that patient was there that night; but they ran tests on patient. By that time, patient had more bruises that had spread to his feet. The doctor initially believed patient had blood cancer and ran some tests. The tests came back indicating that patient's platelet count was low. They told us that they did not have the proper treatments for patient there, so he was taken by ambulance to another Hospital. Once there, more tests were run. The tests came back indicating that patient's platelet count was even lower than it was at previous hospital. The specialists proceeded on treating him with IVIG that night. The treatment made patient very sick. His fever would spike up after every dose and he would get attacks that resulted in throwing up. He finally left the hospital on September 2nd.
