Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

It is common in up to 20% people after taking shingles vaccination. So Take rest, drink plenty of water. Use Paracetamol 650 thrice a day for five days. If symptoms not improved please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.
