Symptom narrative

I am the patient. I am experiencing 2 days after the injection body wide intense itching. I cannot contact my provider until tomorrow, so am taking OTC Benadryl. I received Shingrix vaccine from same provider about 2 years ago. I had a very severe cutaneous reaction, requiring multiple Dr office visits, no hospitalization. Lasted about 6 months. I reported it everywhere. I think I'm allergic to the adjuvant Saponin, which is present in both vaccines (now I learn it, after I've looked it up on internet). Adjuvant in RSV Vaccine is ASO1E, in Shingrix vaccine is ASO1B, both from Quellaja Sponaria tree. I am a Preventative Medicine MD. If this reaction takes the same course
