Additional details were provided as follows: The age at vaccination was not reported. On monday afternoon, the patient received second Shingrix vaccination. The patient had been warned with the standard warning. The patient had never a problem with any vaccinations before nor or had problems with the first.  1 day after receiving Shingrix, it took her out.  The patient had to leave work and stay out a second day.  It was the most bizarre thing the patient had ever felt. The first thing the patient felt was muscle pain around her middle and back that felt like back labor.  The patient told that she was not kidding. The patient could not stand up.  Then the patient got the migraine. Less than a day after receiving Shingrix, the patient could not sleep and nothing alleviated it aal the night. When the patient got up, she tried to go to work figuring and had just hurt her back and that my being out of it was the result of no sleep. The patient started vomiting half way through my work day. The patient  left and could not get out of bed or eat for that day and overnight. The headache began to be alleviated by motrin the morning after vaccination but the patient was afraid to take it because it might upset me stomach more. This was not a mild side effect.  When the patient actually looked it up with the cdc, 1 in 6 will had this kind of reaction. No one told me about this. Then the patient read that they were afraid to warn people because they would not come in for the second shot.  The patient missed 1 1/2 days work. The patient did not expect that or she would had gotten it on a Friday night.  The reporter told they need to list these possible side effects as more than just a maybe. 1 in 6 the patient was just coming out from under. The patient know this was only considered anecdotal, but those are the real statistics. The patient was going to send a copy of this to the CDC. Just inform them.
