Symptom narrative

Patient, had first dose of Shingrix vaccine on Friday, 09/19/2025 at 1:45pm. She woke up the next day (Saturday, 09/20/2025) with hives on her chest and breasts. The rash was itching and she scratched it until bright red. She said that she started to itch and felt like something was crawling all over her body later on Saturday, 09/20/2025. She decided to go to Urgent Care on Wednesday, 09/24/25 because she still had rash/hives. The Urgent Care physician prescribed oral prednisone and hydroxyzine. Patient stated that she was better after first dose. She will finish prednisone as physician directed. The physician advised that she should not have the 2nd dose of Shingrix due to this reaction.
