A Shingles Vaccination appointment next week ,has anyone had one ,are there side effects

I too had this at first opportunity years ago and no bad effects at all. Also pneumonia and tetanus......

No problems here either!

I had one two years ago, with no side effects.

I’ve had both with no problems at all.

I've had both with no side effects from either. Minor side effects are nothing compared with either of those illnesses.

For the record, I've been having the flu jab for 20 years with no side effects other than a bit of pain at the site.

Thank you for the reassurance re the Shingles vaccination,I will go ahead with my appointment next week ,I was also offered the pneumonia vaccine which I haven’t taken up as yet ,
I think they give it to children as well ,

I had mine a couple of years ago and no side effects.

No problems reported by OH

Hello Bonsela3
Having only just returned to this country after an absence of 44 years {11 in SA} we were also somewhat wary about this NHS offer, especially as it coincided with a vaccine for pneumonia. We decided not to have both on the same day as originally planned, but to have the injections 8 weeks apart.
Ergo, on 2 January, both had the shingles vaccine injection with no side effects whatsoever except for a mildly sore arm. Good luck!
