Additional details were provided as follows: The patient received a dose of Shingrix in left deltoid later than the recommended interval, which led to lengthening of vaccination schedule. The patient felt burning at the injections site at the time of vaccination. The patient stated that he did not received any other shots that day, but he did received 0.5ml of injectable Testosterone the day before he received his Shingrix shot. 10 hours after receiving the vaccination, at around 1 am, the patient experienced soreness at the injections site, flu like body aches and pain, fever and chills. The patient stated he took Tylenol no 3 to help with the pain and to help him sleep. 14 hours after receiving the vaccination, at around 5 am, the patient experienced uncontrollable shaking and chills and had a fever of 100 to 100.5 degrees F. The patient said that it was very scary, and he had never shooked like that before in his life and was unable to take his temperature, but was basing the temperature he stated on prior experiences of fever. The patient stated that the shaking and chills subsided after 1 hour, but he had to turn the heat up in his house, put on warmer clothes, and ate some yogurt. The body aches and pain lasted another day and a half but he felt like he was in a car wreck less than a week after receiving the vaccination. The patient stated that for the type of MS he had more prone to pain than the average population, and he experienced more than average muscle pain for average activity.
