Symptom narrative

I received my first Shingrix shingles shot on 2/8/25. The following Wednesday (2/12) 4 days after my vaccination, I noticed a red swollen itchy patch next to my left eye. Thursday (2/13) the red patch had spread to the top left of my forehead and in my scalp back toward the center/top of my head. I saw a provider at my local urgent care today (2/16/25) and she diagnosed me with shingles. I have never been diagnosed or shown symptoms of shingles.
