Clinical narrative: About 22 hours after the vaccination, I had chills.  During the night I sweat so much my gown was soaking wet, and when I awoke, I had a foul odor on my body and gown, as if my body had expelled something foul during the night.   The day after the injection, my arm felt sore and 2 days later I would have more described it as hurting and itching.   8 days after the injection, a red spot developed on my arm.    3 days before I had the 1st dose, I got a headache and still had the headache at the time of the vaccination.   The pharmacy person questioned me about the headache, but decided to give me the vaccination.  Personally, I think the headache is related to eye strain since I have had this type of headache before.  I have an appointment next week to see the optometrist.    I had no fever before the vaccination or after the vaccination.

That Doctor should advise her if she should get the 2nd vaccination.  She is calling her Doctors office again on Monday.  In the mean time since this all started she has been taking Benadryl and also using hydrocortizone on the area of skin that is red and has hives around the injection site.

Clinical narrative: In the first several days following the vaccine I had "normal" reactions such as redness and aching.  This improved gradually and seemed resolved by the following Saturday, 1 week later.  However, the second Sunday after the vaccine (8 days later on 1/24) I had a very large, red, itchy, area on my arm in that location with small red rash bumps.  Over the next 24 hours it got extremely swollen and inflamed and the skin temperature was 101.8 degrees on the surface.  It developed a painful "lump" under the skin and the area was hard.  The redness increased in diameter and I went to Urgent Care where they wondered if it was cellulitis and put me on an antibiotic.  However, by Wednesday 1/27 it was still red and swollen and I followed up with my General Practitioners office.  They explained that they have seen several of these cases and added a steroid to go with the antibiotic.  The redness is mostly resolved, but settling some near my elbow and still quite itchy.

Symptoms: Biopsy skin, Differential white blood cell count, Eosinophil count increased, Eosinophilia, Full blood count
Clinical narrative: The patient had received the moderna vaccine and about four days later he started to develop persistent fevers and, within one week, had developed a diffuse, blotchy, erythematous rash. Bloodwork was obtained by PCP which had revealed eosinophilia (AEC peaked 4250) without evidence of end organ damage. He underwent skin biopsy which revealed:  Superficial and mid dermal perivascular infiltrate. Additionally, there are focal interface changes where lymphocytes approximate the dermal-epidermal junction and are associated with vacuolar alteration. A few eosinophils are noted in the infiltrate but they are not numerous. Vasculitis is not seen. These histologic features are not entirely specific, but are most suggestive of a hypersensitivity reaction.  Initially treated with topical steroids. When eosinophil count was noted to be above 4,000 the patient was started on 60 mg of prednisone daily (this was on 1/26/21) and repeat CBC with differential are pending. The rash is improving and fever curve is also improving (on tylenol q8H PRN).  He was referred to hematology/oncology for consideration of bone marrow biopsy, as hypereosinophilic syndrome is also on differential diagnosis.

Clinical narrative: 45 minutes after given the vaccine. Severe dizziness, stumbling, couldn't see straight,  Had somewhat similar reaction to the first dose went down to the Emergency room on 12/31/20. They treated it as vertigo. gave zofran for nausea and valium to calm me down. Was sent home with Meclizine (motion sickness)meds. I am at 9 days after the vaccine administration and still having the vertigo and nausea due to being dizzy. I didn't go to the emergency room right away as I was treating it as they treated the first one. I fell asleep as soon as I got home from work at 130pm. I got the second dose at 0900 on 1/21/21. Fell asleep for several hours. Could barely wake up. Hands and feet were swollen. Couldn't make fists. Feet were tight.

Vaccine: COVID19
Symptoms: Injection site erythema, Injection site pruritus, Pain in extremity
Clinical narrative: I developed a very sore arm by 12 hours post vaccination that was completely gone after about 48 hours duration.  This was expected.  However, the morning of Jan. 29 the injection site had moderate itching and a slight pink color I attributed to having briefly scratched the area through my sleeve.  I did not scratch again, but discovered a bright red 5 cm circle around the injection site had formed by midnight.  It is the same on Jan. 30 with mild pruritis.  It is also possible to still see the exact spot where the needle injected the vaccine.  We took a photo of it if you want it for your records.  This is not a major reaction at this time, but seems strange that it developed nine days later, with no previous visible evidence of a reaction before now.

Clinical narrative: Had tenderness at injection site for several days and then it dissipated.  On the evening of Day 7 post injection experienced mild itching and small area of redness 5 inches below shot site.  On Day 8  the red area had expanded completely around the outside of the arm, with swelling, increased tenderness and thickening, and increased temperature. I was feeling sick. Doctor prescribed Amoxicillin for coverage in case of cellulitis.  Day 9 redness was decreasing but itching increased and I was feeling sick.  Took  Benadryl and it is resolving.

Symptoms: Arthralgia, Condition aggravated, Cramp-fasciculation syndrome, Muscle spasms, Pain in extremity
Clinical narrative: Pfizer-BioNTech Covid Vaccine EUA On 1/29/2021, Fasiculations started in both legs (below the knees) at 7pm, 5 hours after the shot. The gnarly, very painful cramps of my feet and ankles started in the right foot at 7:30pm.....last about 10-12 minutes, then the left foot/ankle, again for 10-12 minutes. I have and took Gabapentin 600 and had relief from the cramps by 9:30pm. The fasiculations continued for 24 hours. At this point (25 hours later) my feet and ankles have a dull ache but I do not expect anymore cramps. This is an autoimmune disease for me but I have not had an episode this bad in a year.     PS - It?s worth it to take the vaccine!

Vaccine: COVID19
Symptoms: Blepharospasm, Dry mouth, Facial asymmetry, Headache, Limb discomfort
Clinical narrative: 4 hours after the administration of her COVID-19 vaccine, she developed the onset of twitching of her left eyelid, some left-sided jaw pain, a cotton mouth sensation, and migratory left-sided facial paresthesias described as a tingling sensation that could involve the eyelid, nostril, scalp, cheek, or forehead.  These sensory symptoms feels somewhat like a Christmas tree with lights going on and off in different spots but always restricted to the left side of her face.  In addition she experience a mild headache but without associated scotoma, nausea, vomiting, or vertigo. Upon looking in the mirror she thought that perhaps there is some slight facial asymmetry on the left side.  In addition she reports feeling that her neck is weak on the left side and that she has to support her head in order to keep it from flopping further to the left.  The symptoms have been also associated with some pain in the left arm which has since improved as well as discomfort and achy sensation involving her left leg extending from the hip laterally down to the level of the knee. She was evaluated the next day by a neurologist. Her neurological examination demonstrates some subjective decrease in sensation involving the left V1 and V2 distribution but is otherwise normal.  Difficult to know to what extent the prior Botox injections could be contributing to her worsening left-sided neck weakness.  We are aware that the vaccine does induce a inflammatory cytokine response and it is conceivable that this is contributing to some of her symptoms.  MRI was obtained to exclude any underlying CNS pathology that could be conceivably exacerbated in the setting of an inflammatory micro environment induced by the vaccine.  There was no clear evidence of a new CNS lesion based upon the examination.
