 [ Symptoms ] the doctor diagnosed me with epididymitis and prescribed me with a course of doxycycline for 7 days [ Disease ] this is an excellent question and i am glad you asked according to the u s centers for disease control and prevention is cdc shingles vaccine fact sheet you do not need to avoid contact with infants after receiving the shingles vaccine the cdc website states it is safe to be around infants and young children pregnant women or people with weakened immune systems after you get the shingles vaccine there is no documentation of a person getting chickenpox from someone who has received the shingles vaccine  however if you develop a rash around the injection site you should cover it until it disappears hope this helps i received the shingles vaccine on sunday monday and tuesday night i had a difficult time sleeping due to the pain my arm has a large hard knot is red slight rash hot to touch itching and painful is this normal
