Quote of the day: 70 percent of people experienced pain following the Shingrix vaccine, and almost half experienced some type of muscle pain or fatigue. About one in six people experienced side effects so severe that it actually prevented their normal activities. ~ Dr. Kathleen Dooling
Yesterday, Peter and I went to get our second dosage of the Shingrix vaccine. I really did not want to do it because I was so sick with the first vaccine in August. Yet, I know the vaccine is necessary and though painful, is better than contracting shingles. However, both of us woke up with a fever today and we have what appears to be flu-like symptoms.

Thank goodness for Tylenol, otherwise I wouldn't be able to function at all as I continue to be running an 100.8 fever.
