She hopes that all the symptoms resolve. She was reluctant to get another Pfizer booster. She was asking considering her history of allergies, is it possible to have allergy testing to ingredients in the Pfizer vaccine? Reporter considered the Pfizer product had a casual effect to the adverse event.  The information on the batch/lot number for BNT162b2 has been requested and will be submitted if and when received.
