Reason For Flu Like Symptoms After Taking Vaccine?
Recieved shingles vaccine August 2. On August 5th, began to have flu-like symptoms. Now upper respiratory congestion, yellow-green secretions, fatigue. It has been going on for 10 days now. I have been treating myself with mucinex, tylenol, but I still feel terrible, especially in the evening.

Hello,
I will suggest you to visit your local area doctor as it seems to be unrelated to vaccine. You will need antibiotics as you have fatigue, may have underlying low grade fever and this yellowish green sputum, all indicative of an infection in upper airways.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Muhammad Faisal Bacha, Internal Medicine Specialist
