Grover's Disease tied to Shinglix Vaccine

I read periodically about people getting GD after Shingrix vaccine (for shingles.) I want to remind people that when this happens to you, please report it to https://vaers.hhs.gov This is the government's system for reporting possible side effects from vaccinations. If you don't report it, they can't know about it or respond. Also, please encourage your doctors who tell you they believe the two are connected to report to VEARS - there's a separate link on their site for doctors to report these connections.

There is also a Shingrix hotline. I spoke to them several times when I first contracted the disease. The first time, before I was diagnosed with GD, I asked them if there were any cases of people experiencing severe itching after receiving the vaccine, and was told "no". Lol. The second time, after I was diagnosed, I spoke with a very empathetic woman who said she would pass my concerns to the powers that be. Of course I never heard from them again.
