Additional Information: GSK Receipt Date: 11-SEP-2025 This case was reported by a patient via interactive digital media. The patient did get the vaccine and booster about 7 years ago. Unfortunately, there was no guarantee that you still won't get shingles and finally got diagnosed after 4 days of emails and pictures and of course since the patient off the harsh medications, there was some itching. While the patient was very lucky compared to many of you who have had it and having shingles really stinks. The patient had surgery and that triggered shingles on his/her left arm (forearm area and on my bicep), because the patient was on some strong pain pills there was no pain just suddenly these bumps and they seem to spread. The patient sent pictures to his/her primary care manager (PCM) and she wasn't sure, didn't think it was dermatitis nor shingles because the patient was not in pain or itching.
