Coincidentally I stumbled across this article suggesting that Covid 19 might induce shingles flare ups in some people. Possibly due to raising stress levels.

“It seems that COVID‐19 infection, as an acute illness with its associated physical and emotional stress, might represent the triggering factor for the development of HZO in our patients,”

I'd assume you would be able to find a list of observed aide effects from the Pfizer trials somewhere. Not sure where to look though. No idea whether Covid vaccines have been found to trigger flare ups in shingles patients.

EDIT: To be clear, I'm not a medical type. Just happened upon that article when reading about something else.

Anecdotally, my friend who got covid very badly ~3 months ago and was knocked sideways is currently dealing with a horrible shingles flare-up.
