Clinical narrative: she had itching after the second shot of the vaccine/itching that has persisted for a month; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable consumer. A female patient of an unspecified age received bnt162b2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, solution for injection, Batch/Lot number was not reported), dose 2 via an unspecified route of administration on an unspecified date as DOSE 2, SINGLE for covid-19 immunisation. The patient medical history and concomitant medications were not reported. The patient previously took first dose of BNT162B2 for COVID-19 immunization. The patient experienced she had itching after the second shot of the vaccine/itching that has persisted for a month on an unspecified date. It was reported that the caller stated after the first shot her arm hurt and she had itching after the second shot of the vaccine. The itching has lasted a month. She stated it is on the front and back of her neck and it happened as soon as she got the vaccine. The dermatologist does not think it was from the vaccine because it is not systemic. She stated maybe the vaccine triggered the allergic reaction. Her neck was itching like insane. She was given cortisone cream for this. She asked if this itching was from the vaccine and how long it would last. She stated she was supposed to go for a mammogram on Monday. But an article is saying if you get the vaccine you should not get a mammogram for a month because it can show inflammation of lymph nodes which can be a symptom of breast cancer. This came out of breast imaging source. She was concerned about that. You should wait at least a month because you can have axillary lymph node swelling and that can show up on a mammogram. She stated so I don't want to do a mammogram. The caller stated she had friends with fatigue, chills, and sore arms. The caller asked if they should wait to get a mammogram after getting the vaccine because of the potential for swollen lymph nodes If so, how long should they wait. The caller asked if she does not have symptoms after the vaccine does that mean it did not work. How can you test to make sure it worked. Will an antibody test show that the vaccine worked. It was reported that patient was frustrated with Pfizer but that is beside the point and caller did not expand further on this. Caller says she got the Pfizer vaccine, the 2nd one and she needs help she does not need a survey. She asks can call handler find out for sure because she does not want to be bounced around from person to person. She wants to ask a few things. She got the vaccine and the first time she had a sore arm the second time she did not have any reaction just itching that has persisted for a month and she doesn't even know if the itching is coincidental, her question is if the itching wasn't a side effect then she didn't get any reaction and possible didn't develop antibodies so how in the world will she even know if it took or not if she did not have a reaction. She already answered questions and she got a thing, but no one answers, no one calls. She does not want to document her experience. She wants to number in case we get disconnected. She says it is very frustrating this Pfizer thing because no one can get any help. She asks who can help with her questions, she asks can she speak with them. She says she already went through a report and she does not have a reference number. The outcome of event was recovered.  No follow up attempts are possible; information about lot/batch number cannot be obtained. No further information is expected.
