The patient called immediately about the issue with her finger to the Department of Health; she stated they didn't know what to tell her. Stated she had been calling for months, and she just got the phone number to contact Pfizer today. No one can seem to answer her question. The department of health said not to get her second shot until she was checked for blood clots to be sure she was not currently having issues. Caller said the problem was who is going to cover this.

Consumer said she called about the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine she received a couple months ago. She said she had complications since then that have continued, and she had hoped they would just disappear, and she would be confident getting her second dose. She said that the problem was that the state she lives in says go to the hospitals if you have COVID or vaccine related issues, everyone has got your back, but her ins was not wanting to cover her getting checked out to see if she had blood clots or whatever and she would really like to get the second vaccine, but she did not know if it is safe for her to. The Patient had her complication 3 days after getting the vaccine dose, on 09May. Caller said what happened was she basically was sitting and watching TV with her husband which is not strenuous, and she suddenly had excruciating pain to the thumb on the side she got the vaccine dose, her left side, and her thumb turned black then purple. She said two days later this dissipated, but since then she felt like it was about to happen again, but it has not yet, it feels like circulatory, it happened every couple day. She said also when she got the shot the woman said they did not give them a roadmap for this and had told them to do our best, and she jabbed her arm and there was a big bubble under her skin. Caller said that the woman said that was probably fine and put the syringe out and there was blood running down her arm, which she knew about only because her 5-year-old witnessed it and started screaming because mommy was bleeding. She says her vaccine arm she felt in her arm immediately, pain in the area, and her husband got the same shot and did not experience a sore arm. She says other than that she was not symptomatic until when that happened with her thumb, and now she wants to go to get herself cleared to get the second dose to be fully vaccinated. She says that she did no treatment for the pain or black then purple thumb, other than lots of fluids and rest, and it went away. She said in the meantime she was blowing up the phone calling the Department of Health, but no one knew what to tell her, they didn't know of this being an AE and the worst part about it was no one tells her what to do to become fully vaccinated. The outcome of the events (Pain in thumb and skin discoloration) was recovered on 11May2021 and other events was unknown.  Follow-up attempts are completed. No further information is expected.
