Additional information: Consumer stated that she took Pfizer booster shot on 19Oct (not clarified) at a pharmacy, withheld. She was contacted by them and told that the vaccine was stored at 48 rather than 46 and that was the information. So, she could get another booster and not wait in line, she could get an antibiotic test but they were out antibody tests when she went to get one. Consumer was informed about the role of Pfizer Drug Safety and also informed about Pfizer Medical Information department and provided with the number and provided with the website as withheld. Consumer thought the website was not going to speak about the vaccine that was not stored at the correct temperature. The site says, she went on the site and 48 is too warm and it says, too warm, take precautions or something like that. Consumer was again informed that Pfizer medical information is the concerned department for all queries. Further probing could not be done as consumer hung up abruptly. Hence, product details (expiration date, NDC#, UPC#), purchase details and other details were unknown and limited information was available over the call. The consumer stated that the website says to store this between 40-46F and above 46F there is a red thermometer. She wanted to know if the product was still effective and whether she is fully protected to see if she needed another booster dose. Her HCP (not the vaccination provider) told her to call Pfizer. She stated she has the lot number so Pfizer should be able to trace how it was stored. Consumer did not know the specifics of how her vaccine was stored improperly. She stated that she was told by (Facility name) it reached 48F but she did not know the duration of time. She also do not know if this excursion occurred before or after dilution. The consumer stated she was frustrated. She stated that Pfizer should know the efficacy of the vaccine the best when it is stored at this temperature (outside what is in the PI). She was angry at the bureaucracy of the treatment. She stated that this was ridiculous and not acceptable. She asked if it would be safe for her to "just get a second booster dose" of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine since she was not sure if the booster dose she received on 19Oct2021 was effective due to the temperature excursion. Other products, patient history and Investigation Assessment were reported as No. The third dose was given between 12:00-14:00. Additional Vaccines Administered on Same Date of the Pfizer Suspect was reported as None. Experienced Flu like symptoms in morning.
