    So, I got my first shingles vaccine today. I was told that 50% of people have some sort of side effect from it.

    Thought maybe I would be feeling a little "sick" so I could go home and catch up on BHOD episodes. LOL

    4 hours post injection and the only thing wrong is my arm is sore at the injection site.

    Anyone else get one?

    I got the shingles shot a while back. That was the worst night I have ever spent. My whole body hurt. Didn't sleep all night. By noon the day after I felt human again. Sucks being in the other 50%.

    Bet you wouldn't be happy with the alternative either.
