Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire I Got the Shingles Shot

I got a pneumonia shot a month or more ago, and my shoulder still itches like I was allergic to it. I hope the shingles shot doesn't do the same thing.

I always thought they had a 130mph rating?

The arm soreness is from the tracking chip that goes in, not the vaccine itself.

Two years ago I got shingles in my shooting eye......i recognized it and got to ER where they contacted
my eye surgeon,,,,,,,she began treatment at once as i was within two weeks of being blind in that eye,

this was five years after initial shingles shot.

believe me, you do not want shingles......lotsa sleepless nights with burning pain in the eye.

I can check the pallets when I get back to the barn. In a tree right now. lol

I got a poo-monyuh in one arm and a flu in the other at the vanderbilt medical specialty clinic 2 weeks ago

Zero soreness, no make believe faux flu symptoms, nothing.

I asked for the vaccine that doesnt cause autism, ants in the pants syndrome or screaming at the grocery checkout fits.

They may have put a chip in me. Happy Camper...relp...I’m a 5-G antenna now.

Have had shingles at least twice, maybe three times.
I get around Trichloroethylene and it sets it off.

Like a weird flu w low level burn inside/ itching. First time had the rash at midsection.

Eyes burn and ears feel like cigarettes being put out on em.
Fatigue and just blah.

Kinda subtle yet crappy ( outside of the itching/burning ).
I feel like chit all the time so its just 10% worse.

Kid got flu shot and it froze her shoulder. Excrutiating pain for a week.

This the kid w tissue disorder.

Had a flu shot couple.yrs back and it hurt but mild.
This time it fugged her up bad.
Took a month to be able to use her arm.

The first shot didn't bother me at all. The second one hurt like hell for a few days.

The second shingles shot gave me flu like symptoms for a couple of days. That's way better than a bout of shingles.

Have had shingles, the first shot and the two series shot. And will take anymore if needed to avoid shingles, it is miserable

My wife got shingles in the early 90s during a remote hunt we went on in the Arctic. Had to fly out early and get her home. Luckily she did not have any permanent damage (and got the 50% effective shot later with no side-effects), but she was miserable for at least a month while she had it.

A year or two ago we both got the new 2-shot shingles vaccine, and only had a very slightly sore arm for a day or so.

Buddy got shingles.

Looks like he had a stroke.

We make fun of him.

So...as you can plainly see.....Shingles IS a laughing matter.

I got both of those shots about two weeks ago also. One in the left and one in the right. No side effects at all.

Bride and I both had the first shingles shot 10 years or so ago, got the second rendition (2 shots) 2 years ago. neither of us had sore arms or other side effects. Whenever I get a shot, I tell them I'm just going to look over "there", don't tell me when you're going to "stick" me, saves me after shot discomfort and doesn't hurt tomorrow, doesn't bruise either.

Hands down one of the worse shots is the Japanese flu shot. Ph uck me you talk about hurting.. second worse is any of the anthrax shots plus booster..

Worse than dog plasma? 😃
