Shingles and COVID vaccine

Posted , 2 users are following.

I had the OXFORD vaccine on the 13th February. Aweek ago I started to get symptoms of shingles including stabbing pains in head. THE rash came out on Sunday and the nurse at my surgery confirmed over photos. Today I took a postal COVID test and am awaiting results. Does anyone know if there is a connection between the vaccine and shingles?
