Additional information: The caller reported about side effects of the vaccine 2nd dose and she experienced stiffness and soreness especially on knees and hips. It was very uncomfortable. She also mentioned she would not get booster dose until the side effects are gone. Already got the booster and after that she experienced again bad soreness especially on hips and knees again. She has eczema on top on hands. The patient had extreme fatigue and could not get things done because she was tired. She could not get stuff done and wanted to get spring cleaning done. She did not want to eat. These were the main things. The main reason she was calling is because of the Eczema. She did research and they said it was caused by overactive immune system. She never had anything like this in her life. She was almost 70-year-old. She also had shortness of breath. She was not getting 2nd booster. The patient just wanted to tell that when she got first vaccine, it was no problem. Her arm was not even sore. She got the 2nd vaccine and that was when she felt the stiffness and extreme soreness in knees and hips, especially going up and down stairs. It was miserable. She though she was not going to get the booster, but then 3-4 months into it, it went away, so she thought she would get the booster since it was not permanent. She wishes she would not had. She did had a little shortness of breath with 2nd one. She just walked a little and was short of breath. Provided weight as 127-128lbs. It was reported that, patient did not had a primary care provider. She was afraid to went with the eczema to a clinic to get it looked at. She had using Hydrocortisone and would need to break down and went to the doctor eventually. It makes her angry. The booster was good and may had saved her life, but it was not fun to go through this. The patient was so tired and was noticing fatigue after 2nd vaccine. It was stated that, booster shot was on 07Jan2022. She did not had her vaccine card to produce a lot expiration or date for the first two vaccines or this booster dose. She confirmed that all 3 were Pfizer COVID vaccines. She noticed getting back to normal after 3-4 months after getting it. She thinks first two were left arm because she was right handed, in case it hurt her arm where the vaccine was given. Her brother had arm pain where it was given, and she did not wish to complete report. She did not know which vaccine he got. She told him about the fatigue and soreness and he said all he suffered was soreness where the vaccine was injected. On 08Feb2022, she was ok and did not had anything on her hands. She had her eyes checked then. Also reported that, the patient tried Neosporin on it and it made it worse and she tried a little hydrocortisone and it helped a little. It was light red and it covers half of the top of her hand. When she put the Neosporin on it, it made it worse. It itches especially at night. She was concerned about the hydrocortisone. She does not how old it was. She tried to get some delivered and it was going to cost a fortune. It was frustrating and she wanted to did her spring cleaning and needs to did her lawn. With the shortness of breath, she noticed a little after 2nd vaccine and then it went away, sort of. But with her last mowing, last year, that was rough. She did not think she would get through it and would probably not be able to did it for a while. This was injected in right arm near shoulder. There was a flu shot somewhere in there. She thought the last one, she would go with the right arm. Because the left knee was the one that hurt the most. It was pretty bad, especially going up and down stairs and could not cross leg. Reported that, she wasn't going to get the booster, but she did. She never had the eczema before. She got the flu shot and it was somewhere between the 2nd vaccine and booster. She had talked with pharmacist about the eczema and she said to use the hydrocortisone. The patient was concerned for her son who was 40. He did not got any of the vaccines, because he did not believe in it. He could not smell or taste. She said heart attacks and strokes run in their family. Her ex-husbands side heart attacks run in the family too. They just said on the TV at night, when you have no taste or smell, it could be because the brain is shrinking. Was there a catch-up vaccine. She did not want him to get Eczema.   No follow-up attempts are possible; information about lot/batch number cannot be obtained. No further information is expected.
