I am a 39 year old male. I got a flu shot on 9/19/09. A few hrs later, my left arm (in which I took shot) was very sore and 2 days later, I felt something in the back. Another 2 days later, I noticed some red rashes and I went to Dr on 9/26 for the same. Dr declared that it was case of Shingles. After going through the above posts, it appears that there is certainly some connection with flu shots and Shingles.
Dr has prescribed Valtrex anti viral drug and I am still going through it.
