Symptoms: Hypoaesthesia, Magnetic resonance imaging, Paraesthesia, Sensory disturbance
Clinical narrative: I had my injection on a Monday, about 2:00pm,  5.5 hours after in the injection, I became aware that I had numbness in my face, arm and leg - more dominant on my left side.  On my face, more intense around my eye, nose & ear.  In my face, it was similar feeling to when one receives Novocain, and its beginning to wear off and give that pins & needle feeling.  In my arm and leg it was a general lack of sensitivity.  I knew I was touching my arm with a sharp object, but I could not feel or sense it.   I could walk, breath normal and talk.  I did not reach out for medical help at that point.  This lasted into the next day in all mentioned areas, the 3rd day (Wednesday) the only numbness that I was still aware of with out tapping to generate a stimulus, was in my face.  On Tuesday, 2/23/2021 - I had made a neurologist appointment to address the situation.  I still feel as if I have not completely regained sensation in my face and left arm, however I do need to tap on them to generate a stimulus response which feels somewhat numb. (Today is Thursday 3/4/2021 - 10 days after the 1st injection).

Vaccine: VARCEL
Symptoms: Decreased appetite, Ear swelling, Injection site urticaria, Pruritus, Rash erythematous
Clinical narrative: 2 days after getting his Hepatitis A, Varicella, and MMR, the patient developed hives on his right thigh, where the Varivax was given.  Over the next day, the hives became widespread and severe, his right ear doubled in size, he had a decreased appetite, and a chicken-pox like rash developed, although there was no other systemic involvement.  Because of the degree of reaction and the patient's pruritis, we had to start oral steroids, 3 days after live vaccines were given.   I know the varicella like rash is normal, but the hives are not.  The patient was on Amoxicillin at the time of the vaccines being given, but the hives specifically started around the injection site on the right thigh.  Now I'm having trouble getting answers as to whether this MMR and Varicella can count as dose 1, since he's been put on oral steroids (2 mg/kg/day) for 3 days for the reaction.

Clinical narrative: I received the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine on Saturday, January 16, 2021 at 9:20 a.m. at the Health Unit. I experienced fatigue and body aches in the days immediately after receiving the vaccine, but no swelling or irritation at the injection site. In the morning of Sunday, January 24, eight days after receiving the first dose of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine, I noticed my left  arm was red, swollen, hot, and had a rash around the injection site. The swelling at first appeared relatively minor, until it grew considerably throughout the day. It continued to be red, swollen, and hot on Monday, January 25. I took Benadryl and placed ice on the site to get the swelling to go down and was successful. By Tuesday, January 26, my arm appeared normal.  I have received the second dose of the Pfizer vaccine (February 11, 2021 at 1:00 pm CST) in the same arm (left) and did not experience a similar reaction. I decided to report because I have seen several stories in the press saying other vaccine recipients had reported a delayed skin reaction with the Moderna vaccine, but not with the Pfizer vaccine. However, I had similar - if not the exact same - symptoms to what was reported with the Moderna vaccine, and I received the Pfizer vaccine instead.
