In some cases, yes, however they are minor. According to this study, 36% of people reported redness, 35% reported pain or tenderness, 26% reported swelling, and 7% said they experienced itchiness near the injection site. The vaccine is a great way to minimize the potential that you’ll contract shingles in your older age, helping to avoid any other health complications associated with the condition.
