Clinical narrative: High fever overnight night after day of second dose.   Did not get up in night to take temperature, but felt scorching hot, my husband said I felt really hot. Midday net day temp was down to 100.4.  Very tired and woozy for about 48 hours.  Malaise, fatigue and mild nausea for two weeks (able to function but like fighting through molasses to get anything done).  I had mild Covid-19 back in Feb.-March 2020, and honestly felt almost as bad from the vaccine as I did from the original illness.  While I am generally in favor of vaccines and science based problem-solving, given my experience it would take a lot to convince my to return for a booster or yearly shot should those things eventually be recommended.  I hope my story is helpful in improving the vaccine.

Symptoms: Suppressed lactation
Clinical narrative: I have a lactation concern I would like to share. I received the first dose of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine Jan 14, 2021. At the time of my first vaccine, my daughter was exclusively breastfed and was six months old. Although, I fed her breast milk from my work pumping sessions; most of the time my daughter was feed at the breast. The next morning, Jan 15, 2021, I noticed a decrease in milk production based on her hunger cues (crying, general fussiness after nursing session). This was unusual and atypical behavior for her. During times I pumped, following my first COVID-19 vaccine dose, I noticed a marked decrease in production. We had to supplement with formula. Also to note, we began feeding my daughter solid foods at six months of age.

Clinical narrative: Developed burning, stinging, somewhat itchy small red bumps, some a little bigger like a bug bite, rash on neck, upper and middle back, chin, ears inside around and behind ears, parts of face close to ears, nose, above mouth, between eyebrows, a few on chest, now also developing  new small red bumps that feel almost like a bee sting when they first pop out on middle lower back, lower legs and several popping out on right ring finger, upper forehead. Have what I think are 2 bug bites on stomach, two on left arm 2 on middle back and 1 on upper back. Also feel like a bug possibly in my vaginal area. I don't know for sure if those are bug bites but I was working in my yard planting a vegetable garden.   Maybe be poison ivy or something like that but not sure.  It's been 3 weeks since my first shot but CDC recommended I report what is happening just incase. I have delayed my second vaccine till next month to let this hopefully clear up.
