Additional information: Caller stated that she has had a history her entire life of eczema, and she doesn't know if its because she has a history of eczema because it has been determined today as dermatitis which has nothing to do with my eczema and both times she has had this kind of break out which she has never had in her life. She stated that she broke out after the Pfizer vaccines and she didn't want to take the second one because of the first bout of weeping hives was bad enough, but when delta hit she decided she better get it because she was afraid of getting delta. She also stated her husband was fully vaccinated and she didn't think it was fair to him if she didn't. She stated so she did and this time it was horrible, absolutely miserable. She stated that she went to the doctor this morning and she told him it all started after her second dose, actually it started after the first but this was, she has humongous hive rash around the hive its self. She asked the doctor if it was contagious because she doesn't know what it was, and she stated she got it after the shot and her doctor said that it was dermatitis, and he had to give her a prednisone shot, and some kind of salve that she is suppose to put on her areas because she has it starting on her neck, on both of her legs, front and back. She also stated that it is on both of her arms from elbows down. She stated that this isn't just one minor spot this was. She stated that this was important to be reported whether or not any one else has because this was what happened to her. She stated that she was going to put it out there on her social media page but she thought there are a lot of people who are hesitant to even get the vaccine to start with and she didn't want to scare them away from it because it was important. She stated she thinks people need to get the shot, its important, but she states with her she doesn't know that after she has gone through this that she was going to be taking any kind of a booster because this is just horrible. She stated it really was horrible. She stated its pretty rough. She stated the redness of it is kind of what scared her because it kept spreading and that's why she went in today. She states that she has taken pictures in case something happened, and she says she would say this that she didn't mention, the leg that was severely bad with two places on it from the knee down the calf area was really swollen. She stated a lot more than her right leg. She stated whether this has to do with the outbreak of the hives she doesn't know yet until it goes away and the swelling around her leg goes away. Its huge. She went and got the first shot and within three or four days she broke out with weeping hives. She got the second shot and it progressively got worse. She ended up at doctors office and had to get a prednisone shot and pharmaceutical saav that was prescribed due to rash that breaking all over it. She did not know if that was found during trials. She has a history of eczema and states maybe a history of eczema and the shot will not go together. This was the second bout of hives after the second shot, she let her doctor know this. Her doctor deemed it as dermatitis. Stated she does not think so about a booster. She was overweight. She did not want the shot but changed her mind with the delta variant.  She does have silicone implants and does not know if that has anything to do with it since it is foreign in her body. She was a 5 year survivor of breast cancer.  No follow-up attempts are possible. No further information is expected.
