Symptom narrative

Patient states after about a month of getting the second dose of Shingrix, experienced right-side facial weakness/paralysis and was diagnosed with Bell's Palsy. But initial symptoms were flu-like from the vaccine and felt like his right ear had an ear infection (but it wasn't). He is here today 9/20/25 to pick up his first treatment rx of valacyclovir 1g tabs to be taken 3 tabs once daily for 7 days.
