Hi Tinkerbell, About two months ago I had the first Shingrix Vaccination....it left my arm (left arm administered into for the vaccination) terribly sore for about two months down to my fingers feeling a bit stiff or numb. I think that perhaps the Pharmacist who administered the Shingrix did not shake the vaccine as much as needed and that is why I got sore. Aside from that, nothing of more recent than that. My senior flu shot did not affect me at all and that was in mid-September. Also, I never went on Prednisone or anything except a RX nasal spray once a day. It could be that we are getting older and even routine vaccinations hit harder. I know that when I get a cut it takes way longer to heal especially in the legs due to slower circulation in the legs associated with aging. Glad to hear that you are off of Prednisone....the less drugs in your system the better you are off in the long run.
