She stated she has been healthy and knows or has always suspected she had COVID way back when this started before the shot was available and it was the January before last year. She stated she went through a spell where she had a massive cough and she couldn't catch her breath and saw her health care professional (HCP); she could not taste or smell at that time and started having issues breathing and her HCP prescribed her over the counter stuff for her cough and she never got tested for antibodies; she knows the cough medicine was one of those with codeine but she has no name or lot number for the cough medication. She stated at that time the first time she went in to see her HCP, the HCP thought it was acid reflux and the call knew it was not that; states she went back 2 weeks later and she actually got the cough syrup and antibiotic but her lungs were clear and there was nothing there just a constant cough. She stated she thought it was asthma because her grandmother was this age when she developed asthma and got breathing problems and it was winter at that time. She stated she has no antibiotic name or lot number to provided. She stated she was calling about the Pfizer Vaccine and she had gotten the shot last Friday and clarified later in the call the vaccine was given to her on 18Mar2021 and she looked at the sheet they gave her that have the side effects listed and stuff and right now she has had her arms and legs hurt really bad to the point where she can't hardly stand it and it is a stabbing pain at times on 20Mar2021. She has tightness in her chest and the arm and leg pain began when she got home that night after receiving the vaccine and she was hurting so she kind of figured that would happen but now with the stabbing pains which started Saturday afternoon, stated she was out doing stuff in the garage and the more she used her arms the worse it got; she was used to it and does daycare but they put the vaccine in her left arm because she was left handed and now she can't even hold the babies. She stated there are shooting pains since yesterday all over her legs, arms and back and this was getting worse and the pain was getting to more areas and this began on Saturday 20Mar2021. She stated she gets up in the mornings and her heart rate was really fast and that began on Saturday 20Mar2021 and was ongoing and about the same. She stated now today on 24Mar2021 she was getting dizzy spells and she has the spells and gets kind of sweaty at times which began today and was ongoing. She stated she had no treatment but just kind of looked at the sheet they gave her and it said this kind of thing may be on there but why are the symptoms coming now and she read on the sheet a lot of these symptoms are supposed to be with the 2nd shot according to the sheet so she called the clinic and they said to call Pfizer to tell them about this. She stated her other concern was that she does daycare and one of the moms went in and was being tested now for covid; she asked how effective was it for she as the caller to have had part of the shot but not the 2nd dose which was scheduled for the 8th of next month; she says one question was if she was exposed to covid what should she do; stated she does not know if the mom was going to be positive after being tested for covid. She stated with the way things keep going and she was wondering with the dizziness if there was nothing that she can be given to counter act it all or if things continue to get worse; caller aware that Pfizer cannot offer treatment recommendations or medical advice and was referred to her HCP.
