Additional information: Consumer calling about the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine who says she got it 27Aug2021 as her first dose and was sitting there during waiting period and had numbness beneath both knees to her feet, and also from both elbows to her hands. She says there has been no treatment, she saw an immunologist to see if it was autoimmune, and she ordered an antibody test. Patient was asking if she would not get the second dose would there be some serious difference if she only had the first dose. She says she was drug sensitive. She says she went home and was eating and lost her grip on her spoon two times, then she got worried. She says this went on with her legs about two weeks, then went away, it was still in her arms now. She says she now also has a twitching left index finger, and periodically her arms feel like someone had their hand around it and squeezed and they feel heavy. She says her doctor and her pharmacist both said they would report it to VAERS and told her to report it to Pfizer. Her legs have gotten better, her arms are not better, and the twitching began in her left index finger, which she didn't have that before, it started recently. She says it was day one that she lost her grip as she was eating on her spoon, which happened a couple times. She says it was something with both of her hands that doesn't feel right since then. She would be considered unvaccinated even though she had one dose, and it would block her from things, which was not fair since she had an adverse reaction. She says she also wants to know if it were 33 days since she had the first dose, how much time after a person has the first dose would the second dose no longer work in them or can't be considered in tangent.  No follow-up attempts are possible. No further information is expected.
