Clinical narrative: Whenever the medication went in, she felt like she had metal in her mouth.; she had welts all over her face. She has never had hives before; her face was swollen; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable consumer (patient). A 64-years-old female patient received bnt162b2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 mRNA VACCINE), via an unspecified route of administration, administered in left arm on 15Mar2021 15:30 (Lot Number: EP6955) (at the age of 64-years-old) as dose 1, single for covid-19 immunisation. Medical history included sea sickness. There was no concomitant medications received by patient. The patient previously took anesthesia and had reactions, it made her sick, it does not make her get welts; codeine and experienced allergy; scopolamine transdermal patch for sea sickness and experienced feeling of having metal in her mouth whenever she puts a patch behind her ear (she had not used them in over a year, because she only uses them when she goes out in the boat). She received a vaccine (unknown vaccine name) in Jan2021 because she was over 50, it was for whatever people break out in. The patient received the first dose of the covid vaccine and felt fine. Whenever the medication went in, she felt like she had metal in her mouth on 15Mar2021. She thought it was weird when she got her first dose of the covid vaccine, she thought it was the same as the seasick pill. She went to go get something to eat and she had nothing wrong with her. That night on 15Mar2021, she was brushing her teeth, looked in the mirror and thought to herself, she had welts all over her face. She never had hives before. The welts did not itch. The welts were like large bumps gathered on her face. She knew that her face had something going on. The next day on 16Mar2021, she went next door to her friend's house, she was a nurse. Her nurse friend told her that she had welts on her face, and that her face was swollen on Mar2021. She did not feel sick at all, she felt perfectly fine, and she even did actives outside. The welts lasted for 3-4 days. She went to see her doctor and walked in; her primary care doctor was on vacation. She saw a visiting doctor covering for her doctor. The doctor saw her and said to her that she must have changed shampoos or soap. She told him she had not. The doctor said to her it's probably from her wearing a mask. She told him that she has been wearing a mask for over a year. This was covering her whole face and was not from a mask. She told him this was not what her face looks like. The doctor told her to take Benadryl 25mg and prescribed her a steroid cream (hydrocortisone cream 2.5%) to use as treatment. The patient stated they were worthless, and the medication didn't do anything. Her next shot was scheduled for another week and she was trying to figure out what to do. She saw an allergist and the allergist told her that he cannot run tests to find out what she was allergic to that was in the first dose of the covid vaccine. She felt like she had gotten the run around for what she should do. Her thought was, she was supposed to get her second dose of the covid vaccine in a week, she was asking if this reaction serious enough that she should not get the second dose of the vaccine. The welts all over her face were completely resolved by 20Mar2021 and on 20Mar2021, she only had marks on her face. The events did not result in emergency room visit but resulted in physician office visit. The outcome of welts was recovered on 20Mar2021 and outcome of other events was unknown.  No follow-up attempts are possible. No further information is expected.   Follow-up (16Jun2021): Follow-up attempts completed. No further information expected.
