GSK is the manufacturer for (Shingrix). I went into the pharmacy 2 days ago to do a pickup and the Pharmacist gave me a slip that recommended several vaccines for people over 50. Now, 54, I opt to get the Shingles Vaccine. The person that administered the injection explained that I should "ONLY" experience soreness . Day 1 - Soreness (as expected and I slept ALLLLL day). Day 2 - still sore, but expected. By 11pm that night, I started scratching my upper back on the left side, below the shoulder blade. When I woke up this morning, I noticed the same area was irritated. Upon showering, I noticed a red rash there. I rubbed some alcohol on it and continued on with my day. An hour later, (I'd say 9:30am), I noticed it turning really "red" and "irritating." I took another look so I applied desonide ointment to help with the inflammation/pain. I continued on with my day. By 10:45am, I noticed the same pain on the left side of my neck. WTH?? I thought I was bitten by something but I haven't left the home in 2 days so what is happening. I feels like a thousand mosquitoes are biting me and sensitive to the touch. WHAT THE HELL? I've never ever experienced this before. I called the Pharmacy to speak with pharmacist but she wasn't in today, another Pharmacist suggested I take Ibprophen, Tylenol and/or Benadryl. Ughhh. HAd I known taking the vaccine would "CAUSE" this sort of reaction I'd have just taken my chances without it. SMH Now what? How long will this last?
