I got the first shot and no problem. Yesterday 3/12/22 I got the second. Soreness at the injection area yesterday. Today soreness at injection area and ache all over my body. I also am abnormally sweating. After reading all the comments above looks like I should not have gotten this vaccine.

@cherylnj, my experience was the exact same as yours. I had no reaction to the first shot, but the second one made me feel like a had a mild flu for 24 hours. I got my shot on a Friday so I could take the weekend to deal with any potential side effects. My PCP had warned me this could happen with either shot. My husband was the opposite. He had flu-like symptoms with the first shot and nothing with the second.

I'm glad I got Shingrix. I've had shingles and dealing with a day of flu-like symptoms was worth boosting my immunity from getting shingles again. I hope you feel better tomorrow.
