I've decided not to have it.. two members of my family had side effects like that for 4 weeks.

What to tell patients about the side effects of Shingrix: Most people have a sore arm after they get Shingrix. Many people have redness and swelling on their arm spanning several inches where they got the shot. Many people also feel tired or have muscle pain, a headache, shivering, fever, stomach pain, or nausea.

4 weeks ? That's bad.
