I can't give specific medical advice over the internet. I've looked up the Shingrix vaccine, which appears to be the only one now available in the US. You can read about the clinical trial at this link: https://www.fda.gov/media/108597/download Take a look at the adverse events listed and make your call. I was interested to find that in the trial Shingrix was compared to an actual placebo (saline injection) instead of another vaccine. Which, in my view, makes the adverse-event data more accurate. You can also read about the side effects here: https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/drugs-shingrix-side-effects This last link is probably more reliable since the vaccine has been introduced to a wider group than just those in the study.
