I just got the vaccine it is hardcore. I have sore legs, fever, sore arm, weak, dry mouth and the shivers. Turning 50 is no joke

Developed severe Bell's palsy following Shingrix (GSK) vaccination. No improvement after course of anti-viral, steroids, PT and accupuncture. No dislosure of this risk profile by prescribing physician, CVS or mfr labeling.

I had a bad case of chickenpox in my teens. Im in my 40s and I have shingles. I've tried internal and topical Lysine. How can I get the necessary vaccine? Is it available at my age in other countries with more affordable, rational health care. What I got from this, our protocol is irrational and arbitrary. Willing to travel to get better care! Why are we not allowed a vaccine we medically need? More importantly where is it available?
