Clinical narrative: Rashes all over, especially on my face; Scar; I had it on my right leg; arm got sore; Feeling the tingling all over my body; Itchy; Scratching; Just thinking I got the flea bites; Very upset; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable nurse. This female nurse reported for herself. A 76-year-old female patient received bnt162b2 (PFIZER BIONTECH COVID-19 MRNA VACCINE Solution for injection Lot number was not reported) via an unspecified route of administration in leg right on 13Jan2021 as dose 1, single for COVID-19 immunisation. Medical history included diabetic, immune system was not that strong and not right, all from an unknown date and unknown if ongoing. Concomitant medications were not reported. On an unspecified date, it was reported that the patient had rashes all over, especially on my face. I had it on my right leg and was feeling the tingling all over my body, like thousands of needles poking me but they were very mini, was making it itchy, so I was scratching. So, I was just thinking I got the flea bites. I started putting Neosporin all over my leg. So, that went well because if I get a cut or anything, it was always the Neosporin. My husband went to the doctor and he came home and said that he got shingles. His was all red, mine was kind of drying up but still not as red as his and then I said to him look at my leg. I thought it was flea bites. I was really upset and was feeling really bad. I put Neosporin on my own. I put a new set on and put a bandage and things like that on the scar and called doctor regarding this and I'm dang sure that it was not shingles. And if it was, I am putting Neosporin on it and taking care of it and it's drying up. It was reported that you did not take any CBC, you should have taken a CBC to confirm if it was that or rashes and asked how dare you diagnosed something without asking any type of medicine. I said not only the CBC you could have done other tests to confirm it, you did not do that and I don't appreciate that. I didn't tell that to the doctor, he had another doctor. She was a female, and she diagnosed me wrong two years ago. Since then, I went to the regular doctor and I told them, if you want me as a patient you need to take care of me. So, I was very upset. Anyhow what I wanted to tell was I could not take the medicine 3 weeks later like normally would do because I had rashes and I didn't want to had that flare up. Now, I understand the immune system when it happens. I'm diabetic and my husband was anemic he had that before he had the shot. And being 76, I realize our immune system was not that strong and not right, but I know other people that are 70 years old, took the medicine and didn't get rashes and they were about 70-72 and they were okay but they had other symptoms that you guys noted in your system. You don't put some rashes. Let me tell you something, my daughter she was in the nursing home and one week and a half after my husband was diagnosed, not having that and he stopped taking it. She said mom guess what, we had two patients in our home, they are 80 something years old and the doctor said they had shingles. I said they don't have shingles. I said just put Neosporin all over them. She said that mom, I'm not the doctor and that's not my sample and I cant do anything. I said, you go into their room to take care of them, make sure they put Neosporin on them, it will dry up, and I hope they get well and she said okay. Then just yesterday I found out from a friend, her mother got it. They were happy when I told them about ours, she started putting Neosporin right away. Well we didn't do that and now my husband was all dried up just like me. So we went in just the other day, we went in, we had the date before but we had to cancel it when came the storm, right. So, we went yesterday 21Feb, we just kind of made it. They gave us the shot now and I didn't get no reaction yet, usually about now I get tingling. I didn't get anything so far he was doing all right. And I just witnessed our arm got sore. They need to look up and mine was all dried up. I was worried that if I took it too soon the immune system will flare it up again and I didn't want any more scars all over my leg and got scars. The clinical outcome of the events feeling the tingling all over my body was not resolved, and the event itchy was resolving and rest of the events was unknown.  Follow-up attempts are completed. No further information is expected.
