I am very allergic to the shingles vaccine. I cannot take it. Had a very severe negative reaction to the first of the two shots. Love the way my doctor said, “Don’t take the second shot.” Really? I figured that out for myself after the pharmacist at the drug store where I took the shot had to give me Benedryl, as my throat was closing up.
It was the second shingles shot that really made me sick. My doctor said it was a good thing, that it meant the shot was working. But man, I was miserable. I suppose it was better than getting shingles, though.
