I had the Shingrix several years ago. For me the side effects were strong, I spent a week afterwards in bed, like a really bad hangover.

However my MIL had shingles so I think it was a good tradeoff.

I had a strong reaction to the pre-Shingrix vaccine - just one dose.

I got minor rash outbreaks all over my body and felt slightly ill and feverish.

I was completely back to normal after 48 hours.

Before the vax, I had two serious outbreaks of sun-related shingles, so I was glad to take the vax risk.
