I recently got the Shingrix vaccine. I'm curious to know what others have experienced. The nurse said it might be a bit uncomfortable for the first 24 hours. She also mentioned that I should keep an eye out for any severe side effects the next few days. Has anyone else gone through this? How did you manage the side effects? I'm really curious to hear about everyone else's experience. I have to admit, I'm a little nervous about the potential side effects, so I'm looking for some good experiences that will ease my anxiety.

I just got my first dose of the Shingrix vaccine today. I've heard it can have some pretty intense side effects, but I'm not sure what to expect. Has anyone else gotten this vaccine and if so, what was your experience like? I'm particularly interested in hearing about any pain or discomfort at the injection site, as well as any general flu-like symptoms. I want to be prepared, so any insight would be greatly appreciated!
