My husband took the shots too and after 2 wks had a rash so they stopped them shortly after that he ended up in the hospital. When he got out we tried the shots again without anymore rash problems. They all tried to tell us it was from the Amifostine but I could not find anything listing a rash as a side effect but there was one listed for the chemo he was taking. We opted out of chemo so he could stay on the Amifostine. He is now 3 wks post radiation. It was worth the shots since he does have some taste buds his dry mouth I'm sure would be worse too without it.
