Symptom narrative

achy; 100.9 fever; This non-serious case was reported by a consumer via interactive digital media and described the occurrence of pain in a patient who received Herpes zoster (Shingles vaccine) solution for injection for prophylaxis. Concurrent medical conditions included eosinophilic asthma. Concomitant products included benralizumab (Fasenra). Family history included shingles (patient's mother-in-law had shingles a couple of times while she was fighting cancer), cancer, death (patient's mother-in-law gone a few years ago) and feeling miserable (patient's mother-in law was miserable, especially the second time she got them). On 21-MAY-2026, the patient received the 2nd dose of Shingles vaccine. On 22-MAY-2026, 1 days after receiving Shingles vaccine, the patient experienced pain (Verbatim: achy) and fever (Verbatim: 100.9 fever). The outcome of the pain and fever were not resolved. It was unknown if the reporter considered the pain and fever to be related to Shingles vaccine. Additional Information: GSK Receipt Date: 21-MAY-2026 This case was reported by a patient via interactive digital media. The patient had just got his/her second shot yesterday. The patient was achy with a 100.9 fever earlier today. The patient knew it would pass by the next day, and the patient really needed to get the shingles preventative because he/she was taking the Fasenra shot for his/her eosinophilic asthma. That shot was biologic, and it made it more likely that he/she would get shingles. Of course, the drugs for treatment made her more susceptible to shingles. It was miserable -especially the second time she got them. The patient stated he/she would rather have had a day or two of feeling better than get those shingles. The patient stated he/she would have gotten them on his/her face. The follow-up could not be possible as no contact details were available. The batch number was not provided, and we are unable to contact the reporter.
