I had my first shingles vaccination yesterday. I was really nervous about side effects, having read all sorts of accounts of fever, gastro, shivering, swollen arm etc. But I'm pleased to be able to report that so far I've suffered nothing except a very slightly sore arm, so the worst of it so far is the cost ($700).
I know everyone reacts differently, but if you're thinking about getting the vaccine don't be overly deterred by the prospect of side effects.
