Therapeutic measures were taken as a result of rash.  Additional information: The patient stated that she had what she considered a severe reaction to the Pfizer COVID shot (later clarified as Comirnaty) which she had on 20Sep2024. She had started with a band of the rash, got it on one side. It's circled her whole body and after 4 or 5 days she went to the physician and she suggested to take an antibiotic. She gave her a cream, it was cortisone and also pills and the pills helped her greatly. Within a couple of days things there was lessening. When she finished taking that course of prednisone, the pills, she stopped taking that on 03Oct, that was she finished it within a day the rash started to reappear in different areas on her body. It seemed like it was creeping up from the middle of her body, it was going up. So, she went back to the physician on the 11th and when she saw that it was getting worse again, she went back to and she was on prednisone once again and so, it was improving. She just started it and it was improving, but she was very concerned as to what was in that shot. She had been getting the shot right from the beginning and it just had this extended reaction. Normally she gets a sore arm, it could get swollen. She could even have chills, maybe even a little fever and within a day she was feeling fine. This was the first time that she has had this rash circling her body. So, she wanted to report it and she wanted to ask, "What you suggestion is in the future and what do you think I might be allergic to, in that interaction". The patient also stated there was no treatment as she just assumed it would go away and it did in the past. It was later on clarified that for the rash, the patient was taking prednisone again and it was improving.  The information on the batch/lot number for BNT162b2 omicron (kp.2) will be requested and submitted if and when received.
