Therapeutic measures were taken as a result of headache, nausea.  Additional information: The caller stated she has taken all of the Pfizer Covid vaccine shots, the primary and all the boosters. She stated it has been about 5 months since her last booster dose. She stated she is the only one her age that had her age that had the reactions she did, and she read in the fact sheets, and it says, "mild symptoms" and she does not think her symptoms were mild. Because of her reaction she is reluctant to take the next dose and wanted someone to tell her, but the CDC and the doctors do not help. She stated "The booster dose, problem" she got the vaccine at noon and went and ran errands and at 10:00 she started breaking into shivers like she was at the north pole, and she could not get warm, it was like an internal earthquake. Then the heat turned on; for 4 hours she was burning up and sweating. The next day the shivers and heat subsided, and she was extremely tired and of course her arm hurts, it always hurts after. She had a headache that she had never had before unlike any other. She was also nauseated. Her headache subsided after she took Tylenol. The flu like discomfort lasted about a week. The next time (next booster dose)- she got the vaccine at noon, ran errands and at 10:00 almost to the point it all happened again. The third time (next booster dose)- it happened again, she stated she does not consider 4 hours of shivering mild, 4 hours like scarlet fever. She is a healthy body. For her body to go into that state seemed rather extreme. She has read that fact sheet and all she is getting is "okay thanks, for nothing. I wish some people at Pfizer would be like here are more severe side effects that may occur." After providing that there are some more severe side effects listed like allergic reactions, she stated she did not see that in the fact sheet. Additional Context: Consumer stated, "I had all my initial shots and all the boosters, and I am 80 years old, so I think it is now time I should get another one they say you get another one, right you keep getting them if you are 80 but or do you stop getting them". Consumer stated, "Okay, well now am I supposed to report that I have felt like I had adverse symptoms to this department? Because that is determining whether I want to take next one or not, for the last few shots I did know I have read all the reports about the you have suffered a mild symptoms, I do not think my symptoms were mild, the first time I did not notice it was going to happen, so the second, third time okay I thought I will be prepared with food and suffered upset stomach because the three time, 10 hours after I got the shot almost to the minute because I got the shot at noon and I go about doing my business and everything that happened at the time of shot was the soreness in the arm but at 10 o'clock that night for 3 times I would break out in the chills, I mean really bad chills like I was suffering from some disease and I would last about 4 hours, then the chills would stop and I would go in to sweat like a fever in sweat for another 4 hours, so then those with the side and I would be weak and nauseated and I have never had headache, I am in good condition, my vitals were good, I am over weight other than that I take blood pressure pill (Losartan) and something for reflux, Omeprazole and those are really 2 prescription I take for an 80 year old pretty good. Well I take a bunch of Vitamin supplements. Anyway for entire week I was just no good, I am 'disreg' I do not consider, and then my friend through my age or little younger ones my age, the only symptoms they I have is soreness in the arm, now I have read that people say well it just means the shot is working, well it is having a hell of war with me so they must be working damn good to put me out for a week, I am wondering the next shot if I should take it if you understand because that is a week of my body going through (Incomplete sentence)." When paraphrased the concern, Consumer stated, "Yes because I know COVID is still around, I wear the mask and as much as possible if you go out to eat it is still going to be vulnerable to the people, you always going to take your mask on vacation." Prior Vaccination (within 4 weeks): Consumer stated, "The last vaccine I took a flu shot at the same time, I put my cards away but over the last day for the COVID vaccination which one I had the flu shot", date for Flu Shot: Consumer stated, "The day of the last COVID vaccine I gave you, I put the cards away." Tylenol and something for nausea but I do not remember I had chewable, tums, I think."; Sender's Comments: Linked Report(s) : US-PFIZER INC-202300214238 same patient and drug, different dose and event;
