Yes I had the shingles jab and had a bad reaction - swollen and red patch right round the front area of my arm. Had to have anti-histamines. I react badly to bites and have to be careful with what I put on my skin so it is thought that I reacted to the medium they put the vaccine in.
I was encouraged to have the pneumonia jab in the other arm at the same time and that was an even worse reaction so I have been advised not to have any further "jabs" eg the flu jab.
