Clinical narrative: pain; extreme fatigue; stiffness down form her hip; discomfort; This is a spontaneous report received from a contactable reporter(s) (Consumer or other non HCP) from medical information team. The reporter is the patient.  A 70-year-old female patient received BNT162b2 (BNT162B2), as dose 2, single (Batch/Lot number: unknown) for COVID-19 immunization. The patient had no relevant medical history. There were no concomitant medications. Vaccination history included: Bnt162b2 (When she got the first dose, everything was fine.), for COVID-19 Immunization; Flu shot (She got the Flu shot in between, the first and second dose.). The following information was reported: PAIN (non-serious), outcome "recovered"; FATIGUE (non-serious), outcome "unknown", described as "extreme fatigue"; JOINT STIFFNESS (non-serious), outcome "recovered", described as "stiffness down form her hip"; DISCOMFORT (non-serious), outcome "unknown".  Additional information: Consumer was calling regarding Pfizer- COVID-19 Vaccine, booster dose (per safety agent he was on the phone with the caller for over 30 minutes and caller is very upset). Consumer female got a booster shot 07Jan, and since she received a booster dose she developed what it looks like eczema, and it started between her index finger and her thumb and it spread across of all of her fingers and her hand, and it is now up to her elbows she never had any skin issues or anything like that previously she said that she also having pain and stiffness from her hips on down, per safety she also reported other things but that was a follow up report. What consumer wanted to know was does anybody else experienced this? How long does it take for the booster dose to get out of her system? Asking because with her second dose of the vaccine she had pain, stiffness down form her hip but it took almost 4 months and it finally went away. She also want to know apparently she went outside and was outside for maybe 15-20 minutes and her arm got sunburned to the point that it is peeling know and she wanted to know if that was also as side effect? And how long it will take to start to subside? She was worrying about it getting worse she was not sleeping at night (she started crying on the phone with safety agent). She explained on the top of her hand in the area of her thumb and her index finger on top of her hands in that area, it was itchy ,initially she thought it was not a big deal because it was not a big area then it spread to the whole top of the hands and the top of her fingers and then started getting it to her wrist now it was to her elbows, that's why she was making a call because she was angry, this has really changed her life, she was almost 70 years old she never had any problems whatsoever with any part of her skin from head to toe. Now she got this, she has too much to do. Plus she was outside just a couple of days ago and after about 15-20 minutes her left arm got really sunburned, she has a yard work coming up. So, she was going to burn up to the crisp. She worried about that also she has extreme fatigue, she has shortness of breath, she has depression which she never had before, and she doesn't know if that was just because she was worrying about this, how was she going to get her stuff done? because she doesn't have energy to have this done. It changed her it really changed her, this from this booster shot, she was so mad at herself because she should have not gotten this booster shot and for sure she was not what makes her angry what say on the TV was to get booster to get booster and it sounded all good but it was too much, too much in the body at each one gets stronger, she was not getting the second booster, she was not getting that second booster, it will probably kill her and that's no lie, it is too strong , it is to much to put in the humans, too quickly. She was very edgy, her question was how long does it take for this booster to get out of my system. Explained that we will be happy to check at this point consumer stated: aren't you a specialist, don't you know how long does it take a booster to get out of the human body. Explained that we have hundreds of the medications and in order for me to provide correct response I need to check the information for this specific product. Upon callback, consumer stated, "You guys are doing too much. and each one is getting stronger and stronger. You're going to overdo it. I think Pfizer is so frantic that the virus will get out of control. Eczema is square up to my elbow. You're not giving me hope. What I'm hoping for is for this booster to get out of my system and I'm thinking it would go away. I'm almost 70 years old and I've never had it before. Common sense tells me that when this booster gets out of my system, This should go away. I was only outside for 15-20 minutes and I came in and my one arm was all sunburnt. If I'm out there for 3-4 hours, what will happen? Before you inject this into anybody, you need to have answers when people call. I wish I would've never gotten the booster. I'm suffering with extreme fatigue. I'm very depressed. I'm very disappointed that I'm not getting answers. I've never had any problems with my skin from head to toe in my 70 years. Are there other people getting eczema". She called in when she first had the reaction when it was first getting started. She was mad now. People should be made aware that this could be a side effect, especially seniors. She has never had any problems with her skin ever and she is almost 70 years old. She knows without a doubt it was from the booster dose. When she got the first dose everything was fine. She got the Flu shot in between the first and second dose. When she got the second dose, she experienced pain and stiffness from her hips on down, in her hips and in her knees, especially on the left side. She notified the pharmacist before she had the booster. It was bad going up and down stairs sitting and getting up. It was not her normal. She said to herself she was not getting the booster. In about 4 months, she was back to normal about overnight and she thought to herself that this was not a permanent thing. So in talking to other people, they urged her to get the booster. She got the booster dose on 07Jan2022, she was fine until a month after. She got the stiffness and soreness from hips on down and then she started getting itching between her index finger and her thumb, Called the pharmacist, but first did research on her phone about eczema and the information she found said it was caused by an overactive immune system. Her immune system was now too strong. She called the pharmacist and they said to use hydrocortisone and it did not do anything. Clarified on her right hand it is a little better, but it is not making it go away. When she had the stiffness and soreness in her hips on down it took about 4 months for it to go away. Does it take about 4 months for the booster to get out of her System. What she was waiting for, she wants nothing more in her system, she was patiently waiting for it to get out of her system and will this eczema go away. Caller has no reference to provide from her initial report. She said that she did not take it down. This would make anyone mad. The booster dose possibly saved her life, but she said that she can't sleep and it flares up in the middle of the night and it itches like crazy. There is some kind of fluid that comes out if she scratches and she tries not to itch and hold her arms against her and she can't sleep. She has extreme fatigue that does not get better, and she had that with the 2nd vaccine too, and she cant get things done because she has no energy it was really bad. There is depression and it has changed the outlook she has. Are other people going through this. Has this changed the way they think and feel. This was a big worry, when she went outside it was like 50 something degrees and she wasn't even outside 30 minutes, said that it was like 15-20 minutes and her left arm was all sunburnt and warm to the touch and is now in the peeling stage, like she had a sunburn. Her worry was that she has a large corner lot, what will happen when it is 70 to 80 degrees, and she has to spend more time outside doing yardwork. She will burn to a crisp. When she does yardwork in the summer she can get a little sunburnt, but her skin took it well, no problems whatsoever, but she is thinking this summer will be different. She was not taking anymore booster doses. She knows this was all new. It was like it was too strong and for older people they simply cant take it. Each vaccine got stronger and stronger. Caller also reported that she had shortness of breath. This 3rd one is too darn strong. A second booster might kill her. Her eczema has gotten worse. She knows that each vaccine has gotten stronger and stronger. She does not think they are the same, she thinks that they are more powerful with each one and her immune system is overactive. Caller declined email. She was angry. That was why she called. She needs to vent. It was not fair. She was not getting things done, how will she get through the summer. How will she be outside for 2-3 hours, she can't sleep from the itching. That was part of the reason she was so grouchy. It was miserable. The vaccine caused stiffness and discomfort, but no eczema with the second dose. Booster she got all of it. The 2nd dose affected her hips on down and then when away. The booster affected her whole body, pain and stiffness was from her hips on down. The booster got her from her fingers to her elbows. It was creeping up and was already up to her elbows. If it gets to her upper body, it will not be good. She got the booster dose 07Jan2022. It was too much, there are 4 shots, if each one was stronger and stronger and things will happen. Caller does not have her vaccination card to provide the NDC, Lot, and expiration date for the 1st, 2nd, or booster Covid-19 vaccines that she received. The caller said that it was in her car and it was cold outside. No further details provided. Caller said that she was switching from arm to arm when getting her vaccines but does not remember which arm she received each specific vaccine in. This was rough. She can't be in this condition she has too much to do. Was there a product complaint to report?
