Some time back someone reported that a leading Dermatologist based in the USA emphatically stated that Shinglex vaccine was responsible for Grovers disease I believe this as my GD only arrived after receiving the vacs Why hasn't the manufacture of this been investigated ??

I called the Shingrix hotline twice and told them I was pretty sure that the vaccine caused my Grovers. The first time the response was they could find no link between the vaccine and itching. The second time the woman on the other end did show a bit of compassion and said she would pass it on to the "powers that be". So much for that. Now they advertise the vaccine on tv. No mention of Grovers, of course.

I got very sick after the first and second Shingles vaccine. Wish I had never had it. I suspect a connection with the vaccine and Grover's disease as well. Because I had shingles about 20 years ago, getting the vaccine didn't seem necessary but I agreed after being persuaded by Kaiser. Symptoms are so similar hard not to make the association.
