Symptom narrative

Had 2 dots of Shingles awhile back in Feb./Mar. 2025 after taking Zoster vaccine many years ago. Dr. suggested getting a 3rd shot and when I went to pharmacy, they said I never had Shingrix and should get 2 shots, 2nd after 2-6 months. About 2 weeks after getting shot I felt that same pimple/dot on my chest that I had Shingles back in Feb.Mar. and it feels the same discomfort. It is still there and uncomfortable, but 2nd dot has not turned up as yet. This seems like it should not happen and when researching on internet was directed to submit this adverse reaction but getting Shingles in same spot 2nd time after taking dose 1 of Shingrix

Current illness

Earlier in year I had case of Shingles probably around February, 2 small dots on chest. I had taken 2 Zoster vaccines many years ago.
