Hello. I had my first Shingrix shot yesterday, and I've had a reaction – fatigue, no energy, can't think, achy, occasional nausea. The pharmacist told me that most people have a worse reaction after the second shot, so I'm not looking forward to it.
Does it have to be this way? Can't they figure out how to formulate immunizations so they don't make you sick? Covid and flu vaccines tend to do this to me, too. I am definitely not an anti-vaxxer, but I wish I didn't have to get sick to stay healthy.
What's the science? Is there a different way to make a vaccine? Why do some people have reactions when others don't?
Again, does it have to be this way?
