Symptom narrative

Patient reported he experienced hot flashes the evening he received his first dose of Shingrix. He felt anxious about the sudden hot flashes that lasted about 24 hours; as a result, his blood pressure increased (he currently takes nifedipine and olmesartan for BP). Patient also reported mild redness and muscle soreness at the site of administration. When he came to report this to the pharmacy, 4 days have elapsed, and he is feeling much better.
