A 70-year-old female patient received first single dose of BNT162B2 (Solution for injection, batch/lot number and exp date not reported), via an unspecified route of administration (Vaccination site: left, almost her shoulder) on 14Jan2021 13:45 as COVID vaccine. The vaccine was administered at clinic. Vaccine not administered at military facility. There were no concomitant medications. Patient had no prior Vaccinations (within 4 weeks). The patient previously took acetylsalicylic acid (ASPIRIN), ibuprofen and NSAIDS wherein she was allergic. This was years and years ago. When she took the products, she had silver dollar size hives from head to toe. Patient asked if there was any of this in the vaccine. The patient previously got shingles vaccine on 2019 (2 years ago) at the pharmacy wherein she had a sore arm and a bruise. The patient had no other relevant history. Patient reported she just got home from the emergency room. It was explained that on 14Jan2021 (yesterday) she got the vaccine. On 15Jan2021, her arm had been sore today since getting up but about 1pm today she looked like she had a sunburn all over her body. Her husband gave her 2 diphenhydramine (BENADRYL) and rushed her to the emergency room. They told her that they can't say for sure but that was likely that it was caused by the vaccine. The soreness was about the same. Looking like she had a sunburn all over her body, that was gone. The patient further explained the sunburn looking skin felt like her skin was on fire and her clothes itched, they felt like she had sandpaper on. There have been no other treatments. She remarks she had to wait so long in the emergency room by the time they saw her it had resolved. Investigation assessment/relevant tests were not performed. The emergency room told her the Benadryl likely knocked it out. They offered Tylenol and an IV but she declined; she felt there was no reason since she was doing better. She was told to take 2 more diphenhydramine 25mg in 6 hours.  No physician office visit required for the events. She was supposed to get the second dose on 04Feb2021 but was told to ask if she should still get it. The outcome of arm has been sore was not recovered, while other events recovered on 15Jan2021.  Information about lot number and expiry date for the suspect product will be requested in follow-up attempts.
