Rash after booster

Hello. I had my first two modern doses followed by a recent Pfizer booster. After my Moderna I felt fairly rough for a few days. After the booster I had similar but recovered quicker and wasn’t quite as bad. About a week and a half after the booster I developed an itchy rash around my bra line. Over the last few days this has moved around my body and has got worse. I didn’t initially think would be linked but can’t think of anything else that could have triggered it. Saw a pharmacist yesterday who’s given me cream and piriton so hoping that’ll kick in soon. She said we’d not be able to tell for sure but appeared a reasonable possibility and asked me to yellow card it. Has anyone else experienced a delayed rash after vaccine / booster?

Could be shingles, OP. Check it out with your doctor. Shingles is linked to both the vaccines and having Covid.

Thanks. It’s on both sides of my body - albeit worse on one - and thought shingles was just one side?
