Bonnie I never had a shingles shot. I have had shingles twice, once when I was teaching first grade and a second time after returning from China. @irene5

Three years ago I had the Maderna shingle shot as recommended by my doctor. I am 72 years old. About 4 hours after the shot I started to itch intensely and broke out with a rash all over my body in clusters. It looked like chicken pox. I made 2 trips to the ER when my face became involved. It was frightening. Both times I was given medication and cream and it subsided. Since then I have seen an allergist who told me she has seen several other people who have had the same reaction to the Shingrix shot as I have. Since this happened, 3 years ago, I have been taking Zyrtec everyday. When I stop taking it the rash and intense itching returns. I believe I have Grover’s disease brought on by the Maderna Shingrix shot.
