It was reported that patient is very healthy and has a very robust system. Does not take any medications. Takes multivitamins during the Covid thing and maybe extra Vitamin D or c. Ran out of vitamin C, has not taken in like a week or so. Event Details: Had the first vaccine 28Apr2021 on a Wednesday. First noticed the bumps 2May2021, she believes, it was 4 or 5 days after the initial vaccine. She initially thought they were bug bites. When they got under her arm pits and showed up, she wondered if it was a side effect. She noticed that it started on her stomach, torso then in both of the arm pits. Collectively, if she had to count, it would be about 50 to 60 measly looking bumps. Outcome: It initially got worse because there were more. At this juncture, the more she looks, the more she finds them. On one inside of each elbow is a red mark. The bumps tend to be more "flared up" after her shower even if she doesn't use very hot water. The hot water does aggravate them, and they become more fiery red. can't say that they have stopped accumulating. Is not like, an onslaught of some severe rash that completely took over the whole front of her. Treatment: Nothing, no medications. It was reported that patient just moved on the water to another place and thought this was sand bites. She ended up having red, measly type looking red spots under both of her arm pits. Primarily, was the front of her body in her stomach. Is not sure what to do about the second vaccine. She questioned is there something she should be taking, like an antihistamine and she honestly does not really know. She thought they were just bug bites. She had not spent a lot of time outside by the water. Has about 7 to maybe 10 underneath her arm pits and it is just weird. She questioned is this common or will it be resolved before the next vaccine and other people she knows have had the Moderna and haven't had any issues at all. Reporter Info: Right now, she does not have one. Just moved to another place and does not even have health insurance. It makes her nervous about having side effects because she doesn't have any health insurance. The government should be subsidizing this whole thing. If there are any side effects, they should be taking the responsibility for the doctor's bills. Has not had any itching or anything like that.
