Patient received her first dose of the Pfizer covid vaccine on 22Jun2021. patient stated she has been from Friday experiencing sunburn like sensation around her abdomen and now to her back as well on 25Jun2021. She was treated for lung cancer Apr2021 with radiology. It was 3 weeks, 5 days a week. She was told by her oncologist to expect the skin to burn because of the radiology treatment. However, the radiology treatment was done just underneath the breasts, for the lungs. The skin never burned. She was instructed to get  cream for the burns but, it never burned. Just finds it curious that having taken this vaccine, that her abdomen is feeling like it is sun burning. There is probably no connection. She did put some  first aid cream on it, which supposedly soothes and heals, moisture protects and relieves minor burns. It is plant based and has 9 kinds of elements to it. Everybody kept bugging her to get it. She was going to wait until Aug2021 to get it because, that is when she was going to have another PET scan. She was waiting until Aug2021 because supposedly her lungs were still swollen from the radiology. Patient was going to wait so she could separate the symptoms the symptoms are from 2 different places. What further motivated her was the delta variant. She thought that was another reason she did not want to get if for a while. While reporting symptoms from the Pfizer Covid 19 vaccine, the caller had mentioned that she was taking 2 inhalers, Spiriva and Advair. She stated that they really weren't working, and she had started experiencing heart palpitations. She stopped using them.
