All her shots were given in upper left arm. She had purple toe' exactly a week after booster and the images look in online very much like what patient had. It's still not completely gone., weeks later. It was the evening of 13Oct2022, was when patient first noticed. It was one toe on right foot that then turned purple. It was still slightly discolored and more sensitive than other toes. That night when she took her sock off, her toe was changing color. It was itchy and hurt if she touched it or from the pressure of the shoe. Wearing her shoe was annoying. Patient could manage, but it hurt. Then the itching went away, but it still hurts. It still hurts now. Patient can feel it as she was talking. When she looked up toe online something that came up frequently was Covid toe. She went to see her doctor. At first doctor thought she had broken it or banged it and wanted to have x-ray. Then the doctor also saw the information and said to see what happens. Caller has photographed her toe everyday. Patient saw that this might have been an adverse event and felt it was her responsibility to report. With fears of what could happen this was minor, but it was definitely obvious that it was exactly one week after the booster to the day. Her doctor was concerned it was a blood clot and then relaxed about it and then said to see what happens. It had improved. After first booster on 04Nov2021, she got Covid in Apr2022. It was very mild case of Covid and she took Paxlovid. Then she had immunity and wanted to wait a while to get 2nd booster. Vaccination Facility Type reported as Pharmacy.
