Shingrix - Is the booster (follow up dose) as bad as the side effects produced with the first dose?

I am a pretty sure I can't work up the nerve to get the follow up shot as this made me pretty sick for days- maybe some one can tell me whether the side effects are muted with the second dose since our bodies should be more accustomed to it?
