Symptoms: Cellulitis, Injection site bruising, Injection site erythema, Injection site pruritus, Injection site streaking
Clinical narrative: Patient received shingrix #2 in right arm around 3 pm on 6/7. On 6/8 she noticed small area of redness and warmth below site of injection, bruise to injection site, and itching. She has applied topical hydrocortisone to the area and takes a daily antihistamine. Since initial presentation the area of redness has grown/moved downwards substantially.  She has never had a reaction with any previous vaccines. Pain 5/10  Discussed symptoms at length with patient. Suspicious of cellulitis due to growth of area since initial presentation and presence of streaking. Advised that it is impossible to determine if related to Shingrix vaccine or not, as even a superficial abrasion can introduce bacteria and cause infection. Continue oral antihistamine, otc topical hydrocortisone, NSAIDS, and cool compresses. RTO or seek follow up immediately if area worsens, fever occurs, or other new symptoms arise.   Treated with cephalexin monohydrate 500mg BID x 10 days.

Symptoms: Anxiety, Bell's palsy, Chest pain, Computerised tomogram normal, Condition aggravated
Clinical narrative: On 6/6 my tongue started to feel funny-thick, light colored and slimy. Continued and was bothersome so by Tuesday 6/8  I outreached my MD thinking it might be thrush (although I didn't really have anything "on" my tongue.  Tuesday night when I laid down to sleep I had a bad pain on the right side of my neck, thought it might be a pulled muscle, onset was sudden along with headache. I took some Ibuprofen and CBD oil and finally was able to go to sleep. Next day 6/9 pain came back, with a rush of anxiety, bad pain behind my right ear and on top of my earlobe and again the same neck pain. I also had chest pain. I cried for several minutes.  I took a couple of CBD gummies to calm me down(thought I was just anxious). It got better but didn't go away. The only thing new I noticed at that point was my eyes felt  swollen but I figured it was because I cried for a few minutes. A few hours later my daughter told me my face looked weird.  My eyes were not closing at the same time. I couldn't smile all the way and one eye is bigger than the other. I have facial dropping.   ER confirmed it was Bell's Palsy, likely starting up on Sunday. Unknown if related to vaccine. The day after my 2nd dose, 5/6, the lymph node on my neck on my left side swelled up and stayed there for about a week. I had some malaise and mild fever but other than the cocoa puff didn't feel anything odd. My husband told me I've been complaining more than usual of hives (I get them on occasion ) and malaise but because I have fibromyalgia I didn't give it much thought and thought it was just a normal immune response. The onset of this Bell's Palsy has definitely sent my fibro into a mean flare. The ER gave me Ativan and Solu-Medrol IV and first dose of antiviral.  I am currently on a course of Famvir and Prednisone for the Bell's.  I have been taking CBD oil and Ibuprofen for the pain in my face, head, neck, ear, and body..I have lubricating drops for my eye. Today I can barely smile at all and of course my face is puffy from the prednisone. It's been difficult at times to eat and talk.   *** I do want to note because I do not see an option anywhere here that while the v-safe  notifications worked for the 1st dose of the vaccine, it was not functioning properly for the 2nd dose.  It didn't ask me about the 2nd dose until weeks after I had it and it was well after the cocoa puff on my neck had gone down.  Since there is no way to manually enter information and you are at the mercy of when you get a text, the information is in v-safe for me for the 2nd dose is wrong.

Vaccine: COVID19
Symptoms: Angina pectoris, Antinuclear antibody positive, Cardiac discomfort, Chest pain, Dyspnoea
Clinical narrative: Shortly after the shot (on the same day as the shot), I had some expected side effects, including arm soreness, headache and fatigue. Toward the evening, I began experiencing aches throughout my body, pins and needles, and mild chest pain. The next day, my right lower leg and foot became numb (felt like it was "asleep"). The leg/foot numbness persisted (on and off) for over a week, and kept me awake at nights because it was so unusual and couldn't be shaken off. Over the next week, I also developed stiff joints on my hands, fingers and feet, as well as various pains in those areas. Exactly one week after the vaccine, my chest pain became much more severe and localized to my heart. It felt like my heart was being squeezed. I felt some shortness of breath as well, so I used a finger pulse oximeter to take my oxygen. My oxygen reading was normal, but my heart rate reading did not stabilize (it kept changing from 90's to 60's). My headache was also much more severe and I could not do much for the next two days except rest. After 3 days, the chest pain went away. However, I still have pins and needles and joint pain/stiffness that comes and goes.  Summary: Arm soreness: Started on the day of the vaccine and lasted about 4 days, then came back briefly exactly one week later. Headaches: Started on the day of the vaccine and lasted for over a week. Fatigue: Started on the day of the vaccine and lasted for over a week. Body aches: Started the evening of the vaccine and lasted over a week Pins and needles: Started the evening of the vaccine and lasted over a week (still ongoing) Chest pain: Started the evening of the vaccine and became very severe (with irregular heart rate) one week after the vaccine Numbness: Started the day after the vaccine and lasted over a week (still ongoing) Stiff and painful  joints: Started the day after the vaccine and lasted over a week (still ongoing)

Exactly one week after the vaccine, my chest pain became much more severe and localized to my heart. It felt like my heart was being squeezed. I felt some shortness of breath as well, so I used a finger pulse oximeter to take my oxygen. My oxygen reading was normal, but my heart rate reading did not stabilize (it kept changing from 90's to 60's). My headache was also much more severe and I could not do much for the next two days except rest. After 3 days, the chest pain went away. However, I still have pins and needles and joint pain/stiffness that comes and goes.  Summary: Arm soreness: Started on the day of the vaccine and lasted about 4 days, then came back briefly exactly one week later. Headaches: Started on the day of the vaccine and lasted for over a week. Fatigue: Started on the day of the vaccine and lasted for over a week. Body aches: Started the evening of the vaccine and lasted over a week Pins and needles: Started the evening of the vaccine and lasted over a week (still ongoing) Chest pain: Started the evening of the vaccine and became very severe (with irregular heart rate) one week after the vaccine Numbness: Started the day after the vaccine and lasted over a week (still ongoing) Stiff and painful  joints: Started the day after the vaccine and lasted over a week (still ongoing)

Clinical narrative: Shortly after the shot (on the same day as the shot), I had some expected side effects, including arm soreness, headache and fatigue. Toward the evening, I began experiencing aches throughout my body, pins and needles, and mild chest pain. The next day, my right lower leg and foot became numb (felt like it was "asleep").

Clinical narrative: A week after receiving my first COVID19 Moderna vaccine shot, my right arm became sore, had a red patch around the injection site, and was very hot around the injection site. I contacted Dr. with a concern that I might have an infection. Via telehealth, Dr. determined that I did indeed have cellulitis at the injection site and prescribed Clindamycin. After completing the full course of antibiotics, the issue was resolved.  Four weeks later, I received my second dose of the COVID19 Moderna vaccine in my left arm and had no adverse reaction.

Clinical narrative: PT had his first dose of Pfizer vaccine at 5pm on 21st. He looked low energy at night. We felt his forehead and he was warmer than usual. However, thermometer did not show he had a fever. He looked much better in the morning on 22nd. We thought that was it.  Only after a week did PT tell us he had more reaction. However, because he was well then, we did not pay too much attention. When we learned of the link between Covid 19 vaccine and Myocarditis, we asked him in detail again. Here are his responses.  He started feeling his throat hurt when he had dinner that around 7pm. It lasted only that night.  He started feeling chest pain around dinner time too. It only hurt when he moved. That chest pain lasted longer and disappeared on the 23rd.  He started feeling there were air bubbles under his skin on the flat part of his left shoulder (above the injection site and below his neck) on the 22nd. He did not see them. He just felt them. When he pressed them with fingers, he felt them popping. This feeling lasted for a total of three days. He could feel the amount of air bubbles become less over the three days.   We have not seen any side effect in the news like his. We are not sure that he should get his second dose. Please someone could advise us, please send us an email. Much appreciated.

Symptoms: Burning sensation, Chest pain, Fatigue, Oropharyngeal pain, Pain
Clinical narrative: Approximately 24 hours  after secondPfizer dose, 17 year old male awoke in the morning and was complaining of intense throat pain radiating into the upper chest  relieved by sitting up.  NSAIDS not helpful, went to narcotic med to relieve, which it did with single tab of medication.  Other symptoms, fatigue, body aches, low fever.  Waxed and waned over 48 hour time period from onset, with another intense episode  of throat/chest pain 24 hours in from onset requiring narcotic pain med to relief.   Again this was in the morning.  One episode of vomiting during second intense period with what looked like water that just hadn't gone down his throat, and following this he reported some relief from what he described as a radiating burning sensation up under the lower jaw and radiating into the upper chest.  No shortness of breath ever.   Burning sensation in throat and chest resolved by 72 hours with no more episodes of the acute throat and chest pain after the two episodes.  While ED was considered due to the distress being experienced, we decided against since the narcotic med was helping and no shortness of breath was being experienced.  I did try to get on with the CDC to report my concerns when it was happening to see if others were reporting this, then because it was a concerning reaction, but site was difficult to navigate and I was trying to monitor.  I did not call the pediatrician at that time as I am a health care worker and felt I could assess and make decisions based on findings.   Following the recent reports of myocarditis in teens, especially males, I felt obligated to report this experience.   This child has no history of heart ailment.  No tests were done to assess what might have been the cause.  I assumed it was an outside-the-box reaction to the second Pfizer dose.
