After much searching I found the note below in Medical News today. It described my symptoms pretty accurately. No tongue of throat swelling do far. May help

Allergic reaction
As with most drugs, Shingrix can cause an allergic reaction in some people. This side effect wasn’t reported in the drug’s clinical trials but has been reported since the drug became available for use.

Symptoms of allergic reaction can be mild or serious and can include:

skin rash
itching
flushing
swelling under your skin — typically in your eyelids, lips, hands, or feet
swelling of your mouth, tongue, or throat, which can make it hard to breathe

@zaznagarb
I am experiencing a full body rash and have been told a) it’s not shingles and b) was quite patronizing told that’s not a typical reaction, to get a rash, from the vaccine or booster.
As I wait to get into the doctor, and on the off chance you’re still responding to these comments, could you share the link where you read about the Shingrix can cause our reactions.
