A week after receifing an injection, I developed a "deep itch" in my arm at the injection site. The physician believes that the problem actually may be SHINGLES. Are there any other reports of this?

I was vaccined about 4weeks ago and have noticed in the last two weeks my hair began to thin and I'm sure it's the reaction from the vaccine.
