Additional Information: GSK Receipt Date: 26-DEC-2025 This case was reported by a patient's wife via interactive digital media. The reporter's husband and the reporter were waiting for the 6 months for their second vaccine shots. Her husband got shingles in the wrong place for men before he reached 60 and before the vaccine.
