Symptoms: Injection site erythema, Injection site pain, Injection site pruritus, Injection site rash, Injection site swelling
Clinical narrative: No symptoms until 9 days later, when I noticed a raised, red, burning/itching rash start on my leg at the incision site from my hip surgery a couple months ago. It spread around the whole surgery area, around all the incision scars and on the front around the back up the buttocks. While I was trying to identify a cause or what it was, I noticed also on my left arm where the vaccine injection site was, and around the whole deltoid muscle had also started this rash. So I googled to see if the cause might be from the vaccine and it seems it might be so I thought it prudent to report it, especially since I also had this rash around where I recently had surgery. I treated it with hydrocortisone cream and an oral antihistamine.  It lasted about 30 hours but has started to subside now.

Clinical narrative: Had a sudden pounding headache & a super loud buzzing in my ears. The headache lessened & the ear buzzing went down a little bit, but ear buzzing is still pretty loud. The loud ear buzzing has not gotten any better 23 days later!!! My ears are still buzzing now.   I am wondering will my 2nd dose of Pfizer Covid vaccine due on 04/01/2021 make my ear buzzing worse?

Symptoms: Eye discharge, Facial pain, Influenza like illness, Lacrimation increased, Migraine
Clinical narrative: I had a severe migraine - and I don't have headaches. My whole face hurt.  (I have two optic aneurisms and I was afraid they were starting to bleed out.) My eye was running water even more at that point and I also had some mucus in my eye. I went to ER.  January 8 and they did a CT scan - and they gave me something IV for pain. They told me to take extra strength Tylenol every four hours and that didn't help. After one hour, I was in severe pain again. At that point, both eyes were tearing. I went to the dentist (Monday)  -and they did x-rays - (  to see if I had a tooth issue and I went to my ENT doctor  (Tuesday)- and he said it didn't appear that I had a major infection.  still in severe pain - she gave me a prescription to get rid of infection in my eyes. She gave me a steroid shot - which stopped the pain. The following week, I had an appt with an ophthalmologist- I was not in pain any more and my eyes had pretty much cleared up. He said I probably had a viral or bacterial infection prior and when I got the vaccine then that was why I got a migraine.  2nd vaccine - 30th of January (8:30) - I slept all that day - I was sleepy the whole day and the Sunday, I had flu like symptoms and after that I was fine. This week, I have the infection in my eyes again. I went back to the Dr yesterday to get an antibiotic because I was having the same kind of infections. This time - infection in my left eye, with tearing and mucus. They had me do the eye drops again and nasal spray I've been using.

Clinical narrative: Within five or so minutes of the shot, I felt my heart was racing and I felt sweaty and dizzy/lightheaded.  I called someone over and my pulse was measured at 96 and blood pressure at 136 (I usually am <110).  I stayed for a half hour for observation and my blood pressure lowered to 121 and I felt better.  I was not anxious prior to the shot or when the shot happened, and I have never had a reaction to vaccines (I regularly get the flu shot and did in 2020).  Several hours later I feel fine (except for a sore arm), but I saw on the handout that this is listed as a possible severe reaction and I want to know if I should get the second shot.  I didn't ask at the site because I was feeling better and didn't read the handout.
