That’s so upsetting to experience vaccine side effects, especially when they are so severe. I do want to say that getting your 2nd shot of shingles vaccine is very important! I had shingles twice: the first one was before getting vaccinated and it was an awful experience that landed me in the hospital. The second was after being fully vaccinated and it was very mild.

I had typhoid vaccine last weekend and was feeling very dizzy on my second day. While it was unsettling to experience it, I am glad to now be protected for my upcoming trip to Egypt.
