This is 1 of the 3 cases reported by the same reporter.; Sender's Comments: Vaccination failure is a listed event which, due to the following criteria (insufficient information provided about the clinical description, time to onset and laboratory confirmation of disease) is considered unrelated to GSK Shingles vaccine. Herpes zoster and Stress are unlisted events which are considered unrelated to GSK Shingles vaccine. US-GSK-US2025AMR036152:Different Patient US-GSK-US2025AMR036211:Different Patient
