Clinical narrative: Shingles; First dose on 23Mar2021 and the second dose on 22Jun2021; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable consumer (the patient). A 90-years-old female patient received second dose of bnt162b2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 mRNA VACCINE, Formulation: Solution for injection, Batch/Lot number was not reported), via an unspecified route of administration on 22Jun2021 (at the age of 90-years-old) as a single dose COVID-19 immunisation. The patient's medical history and concomitant medications were not reported. The patient previously received first dose of bnt162b2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 mRNA VACCINE, Formulation: Solution for injection, Batch/Lot number was not reported) via an unspecified route of administration on 23Mar2021 for COVID-19 immunisation and Shingrix vaccine on 13May2021 for immunisation and experienced shingles on 01Jun2021 with both of the vaccines. It was reported that the patient received first dose on 23Mar2021 and the second dose on 22Jun2021 (inappropriate schedule of vaccine administered). On 22Jul2021, the patient experienced shingles. It was reported that that in between the two doses she had to fit her number two shingle, Shingrix inoculation. She stated that she got the shingrix vaccine on 13May2021. The pharmacist told her that would be a safe date away from 23Mar2021 for the first Pfizer dose and her new date for the second dose was postponed till 22Jun2021. She stated that something went wrong, terribly wrong. She stated that this was the second attack of shingles that she has had in between 01Jun2021 was number one and yesterday was number two. It was on her face, in the same place and same symptoms only this time it was spreading very fast and the medication she was on doesn't seem to be doing anything. She has been on the medication fully for 3 days now. She wanted information like what to do, she stated there was a bulletin on a news network that she listened to and it said that the Pfizer COVID-19 has an unusually of people calling in that they had developed shingles after they had their inoculations. Even though they had protection like me. She wanted to know if that was correct. Caller asked for a web address that her family can look up on the net so they can get further information for her. Something they can find out on their computer because she was not getting any information and her doctor was on vacation and she was suffering badly from a horrible outbreak all over her face and chest. She wanted more information on if this was going to be common because within six weeks she has had exactly the same outbreak, that was really bad she cant handle this and never had shingles in her life. She was very glad to get protection by shingrix, but evidently she didn't get protection for one reason or another. She wanted to know if her immune system compromised and She wanted to know why they referred her to Pfizer medical information because there was no information to give her. She cant find out anything. Therapeutic measures were taken as a result of shingles. The outcome of event shingles was unknown.  The lot number for the vaccine, [BNT162b2], was not provided and will be requested during follow up.
