COVID 19 vaccine: Reporter started having symptoms after the second dose of the COVID 19 vaccine. Second dose is provided in suspect product. First dose was received in his left arm on 18Feb2021, lot number is EL9Z66 and unknown NDC number and expiry. On 07Apr2021 the patient experienced rashes/bad rash over body, aches, welts. Reporter received both doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine (First dose last 18FEeb2021 and Second dose on 11Mar2021). Reporter reported to have some rashes and aches and asked what medication he can use for this. Additional Context: Reporter stated he is calling about the COVID 19 vaccine. Re-porter stated he got a rash and a few aches. He had the last shot on 11Mar2021 and thought it was the shingles and did not read all information about Pfizer. He just saw on the paperwork he was given that this could be a symptom from the vaccine. Reporter asked if the rash he has could be a symptom from the vaccine. Reporter stated he wants to know what medication he can use be-cause he is a little achy. Reporter stated last week about 7Apr2021, the rib cage on the back of his side was bothering him and he had felt a few little welts and did not realize it was a rash. Reporter stated he had been using peroxide and alcohol to ease pain last couple of days it has moved around to the front of his right side and this morning he saw welts. Reporter stated he called his doctor to see if the symptoms were about shingles. He believes that after he had read information Pfizer gave him and had saw bad rash over body, he thought maybe this is from the vaccine. Patient details: Reporter stated he is five nine but used to be five eleven but shrunk. Reporter stated he shrunk before the vaccine which was a few years. Reporter stated he asked his doctor about the shrinking and he said how young muscles are pumped up and the older one gets, the muscles get relaxed- the doctor knows more than he knows. Rash: Reporter stated last week it was sore and maybe a little bumpy but he could not see where the rash was at. He thought it was from yard work. This morning when got up it, the rash had moved up on the front of his body so he could see the rash and thought it was shingles. A Pfizer report stated the rash could start and the chart says symptoms 14 days, 21 days, and 28 days after the vaccination. It is been close to 28 days since the vaccination because he had the last vaccine on 11Mar2021 and started having symptoms 07Apr2021. Reporter stated in the last few days since last week of Wednesday or Thursday the rash has increased because it is moving now towards his stomach on the right side. Few aches: Reporter stated it was hard for him to sleep because rather than sleeping on his right side he was having to sleep on the left side. Reporter stated the aches are moving from his back and moving with the rash. Reporter stated now when he leans on his back, on the right side, it is better now than it was in comparison to parts of last week. Reporter stated when he raised his shirt he could see the welts better and the rash is there and he can feel it on his right side. Reporter stated the aches started happening last week and soreness came into effect, but he had been gardening and cleaned his car and washed the tires and assumed it was from bending over and now it is kind of scary. He is wanting to see what medication he can put on it. Adverse events did not require a visit to emergency room, no physician office. Outcome of the events was not resolved.  No follow-up attempts are possible; Information about lot/batch number cannot be obtained.
