We present a case report describing a potential rare adverse reaction of the recombinant zoster vaccination. This patient is a 60-year-old female who was admitted for severe rhabdomyolysis after receiving the vaccine. The patient's symptoms and CPK improved with aggressive hydration over several days. The patient did not have any known or reported common risk factors for rhabdomyolysis and the Naranjo Score was used to determine the likelihood of an adverse drug reaction. This is a relevant case to discuss in order to make physicians aware of a possible rare and lethal adverse effect due to a common vaccination.
