She was given the vaccine in a hospital setting just in case something was to happen or she were to have an allergic reaction. She was fine and that she kept drinking water until five hours after the administration of the vaccine when she developed a headache and took two extra-strength Tylenol.

On Wednesday, she developed a pimple rash mostly on her arms and legs and one or two on her chest. The rash was severely itchy and her hair was itchy. She was unable to wear her CPAP and decided to not take Benadryl right away. On Thursday, she went to work and said she started developing sunburn rash, the other rash was subsiding. This rash lasted several hours, got worse before it got better, and there was a burning sensation including on her hands. She also said last night, she developed a red dot rash on legs and arms and was nauseas and had vomiting all night. She also reported she couldn't lift her head off the pillow, those effects seems like it was subsiding. She had COVID twice, before vaccination.

She stated that for the first 8 hours was fine, after 8 hours she started to experience bad headache, then around midnight she got a low grade fever, the following day she then had really bad body aches and couldn't move. She recovered from COVID 3 months ago. On Wednesday she had a headache and stuff, states now seem like everything was okay, she went back to work yesterday, in the evening she started breaking out in a rash, she got a sunburn rash, and then last night got a red dot rash on her body, it was worse on her legs and has had nausea and vomiting. Now this morning she felt better, did not go to work. She took tylenol for headache, did not take more tylenol for the low grade fever, they subsided on its own in less than 12 hours, no exact times or dates known. The rash did get worse before it started getting better on Thursday. Rash got worse while she was at work and then when she left work yesterday at 13:00 pm her hands were beat red, by 16:00 pm it had subsided. and then in the evening she felt itchy again, and noticed she started developing a red dot rash, which was different than the sunburn rash. Looks like today everything had gone away. After she started developing the rash, after she ate, but she had eaten that before. Her appetite had been a little less. Nausea and vomiting all night, did not go to work today. Did drink lemon and hot water to calm down the nausea, a quarter teaspoon of baking soda and 8 oz of water to calm down the vomiting. She stated she did have a history of allergies to medication and vaccines. This was her first vaccine since she was 20 years old. On the second day the lymph node under left arm pit swelled but that had gone away. No redness or anything at injection site. She wanted to know if these side effects were normal during the week after the vaccine and how long she should expect these side effects. Now it's been five days. She asked if she should expect these same symptoms with the second shot. She wanted to know about treating her side effects or knowing if the symptoms she was experiencing were side effects or allergic reactions. She said she was "always leery about mixing medications" because she had several allergies.  No follow-up attempts are possible. No further information is expected.
