Yes, my shingles shots hurt. My arm was very sore. But, I know people who have permanent nerve damage due to having shingles. I may be the only one, but if my arm is really sore after getting a vaccine, I am relieved that the shot is doing its thing. So, the sore arm doesn’t really bother me too much.

My arm was sore for a few days and was raised snd red for weeks and I had a rash at least a month. I haven’t had my second yet but will soon.

It felt weird going in, and my arm was sore for a good three days, but no side effects like a cold or flu for either my first or second shot.

The pharmacist who gave me the Shingles vaccine told me the shot would hurt more than normal, my arm would hurt more than usually, and that I would for sure feel bad the next day or two. Shot barely hurt, arm was sore just a normal amount and I had no symptoms the next 2 days. We'll see after I take the next one. I will probably schedule it just after Christmas. I had the shot this past Monday.

#1 - sore arm only #2 (3 months later) - sore arm, bump and redness at the injection site the 2nd day. Started going away 2 days after that.
Easy peasy. No pain but a pinch when I got them, glad it is over with. My DH had exact same side effects, but his bump was bigger than mine.

I am limited to my right arm since my breast cancer was on the left side (something about lymph nodes in the left arm). So I cannot get more than one shot at a time. I need to get the flu shot and the most recent Covid shot but am on strong antibiotics due to being diagnosed with colitis last Friday. They want me to finish the pills before I do the shots.
I had a mild case of shingles on the left side of my forehead years ago and really want to get the vaccine. It's so expensive but I heard that Medicare may be covering it next year.

I can’t believe that it doesn’t cover it. That’s just wrong.
