Patient received her first Shingrix vaccine Friday morning and noticed a red rash on the arm she had the vaccine on roughly 36 hours from the time of vaccination. She presented herself to the pharmacy Monday morning after being recommended to do so by her coworkers. The rash is roughly 5 inches in length, 2 inches in width, and centered 4 inches down from the vaccination site, though on the inside of her arm and not by the vaccination site. Patient notes that it is not painful, but is sore/tender and radiates a lot of heat. I recommended trying some Benedryl and see if the rash dissipates after 12-24 hours, but due to financial constraints she is unable to buy some, so I recommended using the Tylenol she has at home, though I warned it may not be as helpful as the Benadryl would be. I advised patient to let her doctor and I know if the rash does not start shrinking within 24-48 hours of when she starts the Tylenol. As of 4:00 pm Tuesday, no word has been heard back from patient.
