It has been proved that a shingles vaccine can have several serious side-effects and therefore must be administered with utmost care. Some of the most common side effects include allergies, rashes, general weakness, body pain, feverish feelings, inflammation and swelling, and severe headaches.
There have been numerous cases wherein people developed allergies, rashes, digestive problems, and even got anaphylactic shocks, after taking the vaccine. Be it mild or severe, allergies of any kind are quite enough to prevent anyone from taking Shingles vaccine. Due to these allergies that a shingles vaccine may possibly cause, there has been a lot of debate over banning it.
