I just found out today that I have Shingles after thinking it was poison ivy for almost a week. I too had the 2010 flu vaccine just two weeks ago and my first thought was that I got it from getting the shot. After reading all of these posts, I'm going to say yes. I have had chicken pox as a child and I had the shot not the nasal spray. I am curious to see if we continue to keep seeing the same thing over and over again being reported. I would not have gotten the flu shot if I'd known it could cause shingles. Mine is a week into it and very painful.
