you took humira injections which weakens a little of your immune system .. whereas shingles vaccine cannot be taken when medications which reduces your immune power are used.. your painful rash may suggest shingles...at this point of time consult your general practioner who prescribes you antiviral drugs which will be helpful for your symptoms.. yours is a less severe form.. you need not worry much...hope this answers your query... may I know if you have any other doubts... have a good health...
