Strangely, my insurance did not cover it at all at pharmacies, but
covered 100% at medical offices, only I couldn't find a doc with it.
So, about $400 at a CVS pharmacy, but $0 at a CVS Minute Clinic.

As I said earlier, I had a huge headache the day after the second dose of shingle vaccine. Yesterday I had the chills and today I noticed a rash on my legs. It is an odd rash that I can't feel on top of my skin. I think it is under my skin if that makes any sense. It doesn't itch but kind of stings or tingles when I get it wet. I wonder if it is the shingles, lol. I just read shingles are side effect of the shingles vaccine. I had the second shot 6 days ago.

Stings or Tingles does sound like the way shingles reacts, but getting it only when wet makes no sense from my experience. For me it was a bit like getting electrical shocks. It is like the nerve ending go a bit haywire.

I might go in but since it doesn't hurt maybe its just a mild rash on my legs, idk. Its kind of odd though, imo.

I would go see the doctor. If it is shingles your can get an anti viral drug to help diminish the length and severity of shingles. It works best taking it as soon as you get it. When I got the original shingles shot the following week my other half got shingles. He was given the medicine and it didn’t get worse.

Saw the Doctor this morning. She says its a reaction to shingles shot and not the shingles. She ordered some type of steroid that I can use if it gets worse. Good to have as we leave to tomorrow for a few weeks.

That is good news. You can go away and enjoy instead of worrying.
