Clinical narrative: Triage for COVID 19 SEVERE post Vaccine Reaction VAERS reportable  Your concerns: Vaccine at noon without immediate effect. Driving home at 1400 developed itching and redness at scalp, face, neck, chest, back, arms and sides. Reports that she did not feel warm but looked like she had a sunburn. It appeared to fade over the next two hours but re-occurred at 1700 with all previous symptoms. She took 50mg of Benadryl and went to sleep. She woke at 0200 the re-occurrence of all symptoms, she did not take any Benadryl as that would make her too sleepy to come to work. The symptoms subsided and when we spoke at 1050 she had only small bumps/hive like spots on her fore arms and cleavage. They do not itch or burn at this time. Discussed with PA and Dr. after which  I spoke with patient again regarding pending plan. She will call the clinic if she has any further symptomatic episodes in the near future. We will investigate moving her second dose ahead 2 days from 1/12/2021 (day off) to 1/14/2021 this way she will be here at work should it happen again, she works 0630-1900. Med provider will consult with allergy to determine if further steps are needed for dose #2.

Later, around 1900, she developed a itchy, red rash that started on her chest and the right side of her neck which later covered her entire body. The skin on her face was bright red and very hot to the touch, there were small raised hives on her face which were likened to 'petechia if they were raised'.
