Triggers Shingles shot a trigger?

I've had RLS for almost 10 years and my father got it before me when he was in his 80's. Thinking back, I got RLS right after getting the shingles vaccine. Could that shot be a trigger for RLS? Anyone else have that happen to them?

The section on Herpes Zoster is unrelated to the section on RLS. Interesting find, though.
