I also had misdiagnosed cases for shingles. two years ago I took the flu shot and developed the hives. this year did the same and I had the worse case of hives, rash over large parts of my body. now on prednisone and antihistamines. the flu shot does contain nickel. I am allergic to nickel. Was grateful for your post. thank you.

I also have a moderate nickel allergy but never noticed a reaction to the flu shot. Now I want to know how much nickel is in the injection.
Like you reacted to a vaccine, I did get shingles for the first time a few days after getting the adult shingles vaccine, Shingrex. My dermatologist said it was directly related and happens to a small percentage of people. Shingrex is a series of 2 shots, needless to say I didn't go for the second shot months later. In my 50's I had the old fashioned singles vaccine and had no reaction.
