Caller also stated that she is calling to ask if anyone experienced this or have reported the following: "itchy, headache, chill, feeling tired, muscle ache/pain at the arm, sore at the injection site." Caller mentioned that she started taking "statin, which is a generic for Crestor" after the third dose; however, caller cannot verify the exact date as she mentioned she cannot exactly remember it but she also mentioned that she is taking "5mg and was increased to 10mg before the first booster." Caller also mentioned "Nov" but she cannot confirm this information. Caller wants to know if taking "statin" is related to the COVID vaccine. Caller stated that she "feel a little better, but she is sweaty" and "just want to let Pfizer know that she experienced this". After providing response about the potential interaction of "Crestor and/or -statins", caller mentioned that "it is just a minor side effect and it's probably too early to know if there are reported side effects from the second booster dose." Caller also stated that she have already read information about the side effect from the internet. Additional Context: Caller was looking online for peoples experiences after the fourth dose of the Pfizer vaccine. She had no reaction to the first three doses, her arm wasn't even sore. Through the whole pandemic she has traveled. she has been exposed, wears a mask. She got the shot yesterday, the fourth dose, and started feeling icky. She had a headache, chills, tired, muscle aches, and her left arm is a little sore. She was surprised, she wouldn't have known she had the other shots, so thrown for a loop, she didn't not feel great. She doesn't have a fever but is chilled. She did not take her temperature. Her husband just got his fourth dose today. Maybe because she had the others before and the fourth dose put her over the top.  Might be too early since other people are just getting the fourth shot, Pfizer might not know yet. Events reported as she was perspiring, sweating. Other symptoms started last night around 2000 or 2100. Got the shot at 1030 yesterday. she didn't take anything as treatment, she wasn't sure if she should or not. Currently she was not chilled but perspiring, chills are intermittent, better now. She just felt not great. Arm soreness isn't bad at all, just at the spot where she got the shot. Concomitant Products reported as she was put on a statin, not sure if she was on the statin for the first shot, doesn't think so, her other doctor retired in Dec2020, and then she started getting the covid vaccine. She saw the doctor in Sep2021, not sure when she started taking a statin. This is the only medication added after the first 3 shots. Her old doctor didn't think she needed a statin. But the new doctor started her on it. Clarifies the statin as a Generic for Crestor, increased the dose to 10mg, takes the Generic for Crestor every morning, by mouth. She started on a low dose, her doctor wanted the LDL lower so she increased the dose.  The caller just can't remember when she started taking the Generic for Crestor, might have been after the first three shots, not sure why it would make a difference. Definitely had not started the Generic for Crestor before the first two shots. Her HDL was excellent and triglycerides were good. Her original doctor wasn't concerned. She doesn't think she has been on the Generic for Crestor for over a year. Caller states she has traveled a lot, has had a lot of vaccines.

Family Medical History Relevant to AE(s) was reported as none. No Relevant Tests done. She felt better after sitting and talking. The (withheld) Pharmacy would know when she started taking the stat in, it might have been after receiving the third Pfizer Covid vaccine, less than a year, might be the only difference in what  she is taking. Prior to transfer caller states she was looking for when she started the stat in, she can't find the paperwork, wasn't until after the third shot, a new thing, maybe around the same time as the third dose, in November was when she up to the bigger dose. She was on the 5mg, now taking 10mg. No follow-up attempts are possible. No further information is expected.
