Vaccine: VARZOS
Symptoms: Chills, Diarrhoea, Lethargy, Loss of personal independence in daily activities, Musculoskeletal pain
Clinical narrative: This is the 2nd dose of this vaccine that I have received. These are the side effects I had -fever, chills, nausea, severe pain in arm radiating to shoulder, diarrhea, lethargic, unable to do any normal activities. All of these symptoms lasted for two days except for the diarrhea, I only experienced that for one day.  I currently still have the pain in my arm but it is not as intense. This is 3 days after the vaccine.  I also experienced similar symptoms with the first dose of this vaccine with the exception of the diarrhea.    I found out that the effectiveness of this vaccine is only for 5 years. I will not get a booster for this vaccine unless the manufacturers improve this vaccine so that there are minimal side effects associated with it. I have all my vaccines and have never had such an adverse effect as with this Shingrix vaccine.

Vaccine: VARZOS
Symptoms: Loss of personal independence in daily activities, Myalgia
Clinical narrative: Got the shot called Recombinant Zoster vaccine (Zostavax?) on 11 July 2019.  Two weeks later I developed myalgia along my spine, beginning in the lower back and progressing to the neck and front and back shoulder area.  It was severe enough to interfere with my normal activities which include swimming and walking.  After a month I went to my health care provider who took me off atorvastatin as this can either cause or aggravate myalgia.  The myalgia disappated but continued for 2 months before finally disappearing.  I am pretty sure the shingles shot caused the myalgia as I have spoken to 2 other people who had the same reaction, although theirs occurred more immediately after the shot and continued for a much shorter period of time.  I have suggested they file their own reports.
