Is the reaction to the second shingles shot worse than the first?
The second vaccine is identical to the first. I have read recent reports that there are widespread shortages of the vaccine. Chickenpox and shingles can affect you both by the virus attacking you and by an exuberant inflammatory and immune reaction.Aug 6, 2018
When is the best time to get your second shingles shot?
A: You should give the second dose of Shingrix 2 to 6 months after you gave the first dose. For individuals who are or will be immunodeficient or immunosuppressed and who would benefit from completing the series in a shorter period, the second dose can be administered 1 to 2 months after the first.
How long after Shingrix shot do side effects appear?
Most people can resume their regular activities immediately after vaccination. However, about 1 out of 6 people develop flu-like symptoms (fever, fatigue, discomfort and malaise) that last anywhere from 1 to 3 days. Side effects can occur after the first, second, or both doses of Shingrix vaccine.Jun 27, 2021
