Hi,
The shingles shot does not have side effects like swelling in the armpit. The problem can be due to injury during vaccination. Try with Your Ibuprofen pill over the counter.use ice pack at the site of injection.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
