Thanks for the post. It served as a reminder to get the first of the two new Shingle's shots, which I did today. I took a Shingles shot 6 years ago, but that one was only supposed to last for 5 years. Last year, I tried to get the new Shingle's shot, but it wasn't in stock at the pharmacy I checked . Since then, I forgot all about it till I read your post.

I feel much better now. I took the Shingrix shot 3pm ( PST) on Saturday. I felt fine the rest of the day. But I woke up Sunday morning with a headache and feeling tired and weak. I pushed myself to go jogging with my dog for an hour. I came back feeling worse. I ran a low grade fever for a few hours. I laid in bed and slept most of the day. Come early evening, I felt a bit better. This morning I am considerably better. I am not tired or weak, slight headache. It is a rough shot. Tylenol helps.

Not looking forward to the second shot. But I will take it.

That sounds similar to my results.
I got my first Shingrix shot on July 1st around 10 AM. No side effects other than a tiny bit of soreness at the injection site. I used my pole chain saw and heavy duty pruner to cut and prune trees for 1.5 hrs in the afternoon.

July 2nd I felt "off" with sore muscles much like the flu, the injection site was reddish like a bruise and was slightly painful to the touch. I may have been a bit more tired than usual, especially since I had not windsurfed the day before but gardening can cause me to be tired and sore the next day. Running hurts my knees so I did a 1 hr 3.5 mile hike in the afternoon. It didn't seem to slow me down and it was nice to get outside and my mind off feeling a bit sore.

July 3rd I felt great and windsurfed in the afternoon for an hour an 8 minutes covering 13.5 miles with a 3.3 training effect.

July 4th the wind was better and I windsurfed 22.5 miles in 87 minutes with a 3.8 training effect.

My girlfriend had a similar experience with her first and second doses.

I too plan to get the second shot in 4 months after windsurfing season ends so I don't miss a possible good day windsurfing due to the 2nd day flu-like symptoms.

I took the second Shingles shot on Saturday. My reaction was worse than the first time. I ran a low grade fever all day Sunday, with a heavy head ( headache), slight sore throat and a stuffed nose with sneezing. It felt like the initial stages of the flu. This morning I am improved with no fever. I will see how I feel after I come back from my one hour jog with my dog.

Worse shot I ever had in terms of after affects. First shot affects was mild in comparison to this.
