I can’t remember for certain about soreness, but i think I had a bit more the second shot. My reactions to the first and second shots were very different: very little the first time, knocked for a loop and stayed in bed for a day after the second shot. I still consider it worthwhile.

For those who felt fine after the first shot, but felt badly after the second, what was the spacing of time between the first and second shots? I’ve seen that the second shot should occur between 2-6 months after the first one.
Not scientific at all, but wondering if the timing of the second shot affects how you feel afterwards? |

my 2nd shot was 2 months after the 1st. i was shocked they (Walmart pharmacy) called me so soon because it seemed like i was on the waitlist forever for the 1st shot (6+ mos).
and i felt slightly feverish, body aches, and fatigue both times. i'm usually OK with vaccines, but these were nasty. actually, i recently took the 1st of the 2 available pneumonia shots. that one gave me some irritability come to think of it. so in summary, the 2 shingrix shots and #1 pneumonia were unpleasant. i recommend taking off the day after any of these, or schedule it near a weekend or long weekend.

My late DH had Shingles too, and he was miserable. I decided right away that I didn't ever want to go through that!
