Let me start by saying that I am a healthcare professional, and am pro-vaccination. I received my 1st Shingrix vaccination on Wed April 3rd. It is now April 9th, and I am just starting to feel like myself again. My arm was sore at the injection site for 4 days. My vision is blurry, I'm exhausted, and I have 3 aphthous ulcers in my mouth. I get an ulcer (canker sore) maybe once per year if I bite my cheek, so this is really unusual. I didn't have a rash at all.

I was driving last night, and had such a hard time seeing street signs. Allergies can make my eyes tired and itchy, but they are not usually blurry. I am not diabetic and recently had routine blood work. My vision is somewhat blurry today, but better.
I will probably get the 2nd vaccination if it is ever back in stock at the pharmacy, but I will be sure to take a few days off from work, just in case it affects me like the first injection. I do believe that all of my symptoms are better than having shingles.
