Symptom narrative

early red rash was poison ivy; This non-serious case was reported by a consumer via interactive digital media and described the occurrence of red rash in a patient who received Herpes zoster (Shingles vaccine) for prophylaxis. Co-suspect products included Herpes zoster (Shingles vaccine) for prophylaxis. On an unknown date, the patient received the 2nd dose of Shingles vaccine and the 1st dose of Shingles vaccine. On an unknown date, an unknown time after receiving Shingles vaccine and Shingles vaccine, the patient experienced red rash (Verbatim: early red rash was poison ivy). The outcome of the red rash was not reported. It was unknown if the reporter considered the red rash to be related to Shingles vaccine and Shingles vaccine. It was unknown if the company considered the red rash to be related to Shingles vaccine and Shingles vaccine. Additional Information: GSK Receipt Date: 15-MAR-2025 The case was received from the patient via interactive digital media. The reporter reported that he/she actually think did both shots. At first the reporter thought the early red rash was poison ivy, until he/she thought why does not it itch. So the reporter looked it up online (on a Saturday) and when he/she saw it might be shingles and having it near your eye could cause blindness. The reporter got to an emergency room as soon as possible. They checked the reporter's eye with some kind of ultra violet thing and said he/she was fine but called the other docs in to see it. The reporter was so thankful. he/she feel the vaccine kept it from being painful or hurting my eye (Though, since it was around Halloween, it was a great zombie look).
