Additional Information: GSK Receipt Date: 25-JAN-2026 This case was reported by a patient via interactive digital media. The patient got the first vaccine and was supposed to go back and get the other one in a month or so, but he/she didn't have time to go and now had the shingles. They were on left hand and left arm a little bit, but it hurts so bad that can't be described how bad it hurts, and it seems like the nerve pain just moved further and further and further up. It was so awful that the patient went to the doctor and got two medications and it was still just miserable. The patient could not sleep at night because the pain was terrible. Tylenol did not even touch it but oh well the patient was exhausted but will be eventually fine. The batch number was not provided, and we are unable to contact the reporter.
