Hi. I Get Shingles Vaccine Last Tuesday, Now I See

Hi. I get shingles vaccine last Tuesday, Now I see some redness not only at place where shot was made. And this place in my arm more warm that usually. I am a 63 years old woman. I did this vaccine because my husband has herpes zoster which was confirmed at last Sunday at urgent care. He start using medication - ativiral and now it is already day 5. And looks much better than before. Also he does not have any pain, which is good.
Now I am so concern about my reaction on shingles vaccine. It is possible that I may have herpes because reaction on my arm where I got shot is readiness.
