She reported that, after her first dose, she developed an allergic reaction to the plants in her new residential surroundings. Her doctor stated to her that it was due to plant/pollen allergies, and not Shingrix. The patient inquired about the Shingrix vaccine, noting that they had received the first dose the previous year.
