Hello my name is Dr.Dorina Gurabardhi. I understand your concern.
One of the side effects of the shingles vaccine, which occur in at least 1 in 10 people is redness, pain, swelling, itching, warmth and bruising at the injection site.
Some advices that I can give to you are
-use pain relievers such as ibuprofen
-use ice to reduce swelling
-don't force the arm with exercise
If the pain continue see a doctor
Hope my answer was helpful, if you have any other questions I'll be glad to help, thanks!
