He has received the doctor’s recommendation, but is worried about possible reactions
Doctor, I am older and my doctor recommended the shingles vaccine. I was afraid of side effects, are they common? Do they bother you a lot?
Yes, from age 50 onwards some side effects may occur with the administration of the shingles vaccine.
The vaccine is administered in the arm. Most people feel a feeling of heaviness and pain in their arm for a few days. In some cases, an inflammatory process and local redness may occur, and it is not uncommon for people to feel quite tired for a day or two after receiving this vaccine.
But these effects are transient, that is, they pass quickly, and are not so exuberant in intensity. And they undoubtedly offset the impact that a very painful shingles outbreak can have on an older person’s life.
