I had chills the evening of the shot and some body aches throughout that first night. I woke up feeling great the next morning but went down right at the 24 hour mark with fatigue, chills and a fever...not horrible but I definitely didn’t feel well. I slept 10 hours straight and hit the ground running Friday. I’ve felt great since.

I haven’t had a shingles shot....I guess that’s next!
