Clinical narrative: Swelling left arm; Ankle and feet swelling; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable consumer or other non-health care professional. A 67-year-old female patient received bnt162b2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 mRNA VACCINE, Formulation: Solution for injection, Lot number: Unknown), via an unspecified route of administration in left arm on 28Apr2021 at 14:11 (at the age of 67-year-old) as dose 1, single for COVID-19 immunisation at clinic (The vaccine was not administrated at facility). Medical history included ongoing seasonal allergy (Had since childhood), ongoing vitamin d levels (does not know how long she has had. She was fatigued and gaining weight. She did not know she had it until she had tests), Gaining weight increased from an unknown date and unknown if ongoing, fatigued from an unknown date and unknown if ongoing (She was fatigued and gaining weight), ongoing reactive high blood pressure (Probably had entire life. She will get so mad. Blood pressure controlled now), bronchitis from an unknown date and unknown if ongoing, Penicillin allergy from an unknown date and unknown if ongoing (Caller stated that her family had a reaction to Penicillin). Concomitant medications included vitamin d taken for vitamin D levels so low (Have to do for life), start and stop date were not reported; amlodipine taken for reactive high blood pressure from an unspecified start date and ongoing (Been on for a little over a year in April). The patient previously took sulfa [sulfanilamide] for bronchitis and experienced rash and anaphylactic reaction (Her doctor told her to take the last 2 pills. She took another pill with the rash and had an anaphylactic reaction and had to go to the emergency room). Investigation assessment was not provided. It was reported that she had her 2 shots for Pfizer vaccine. First one she had swollen arm that went down after 2 days. Caller said that she knew it should be 3 weeks between getting the first and second dose of the vaccine. They scheduled it exactly 4 weeks after. The health department scheduled it. She thought this did not add up. It was the name. It was a drive through clinic. It was not an official clinic. It was a name. It was where the ambulances went. There were lines for injections. The ambulances circled to make sure that no one fell over or had an adverse reaction. Caller sat out there for half an hour because of her allergies. Caller stated that she did not have her vaccine card. She was registered through the county. It was the system. She received a text from where she signed up that had reporting if she had an adverse reaction. She was registered somewhere. She said they had the lot number and vin number, but she did not. They gave her a sticker off of the vial when she got it. They scanned it so it went into the system. Caller described the swelling that happened after her first shot. She said she recovered completely from this prior to getting her second shot. The swelling was hard and the size like a credit card. It did not hurt. On day two the swelling was like the size of a credit card and a half. On the third day it was like two credit cards. It moved down towards her elbow. It was tender. The sides shot down and it was tender on the sides but not in the middle. After her first shot, they gave her a band aid and she had a reaction to the adhesive on it. It made a red mark from that. For her second shot she did not let them put a band aid on her and she did not have that reaction. Caller added that she had a little bit of swelling in her feet and ankles including the bottom of her feet with both shots. She sat for 30 minutes after her first shot and was fine, but that evening, 28Apr2021. It happened on and off. She thought it might be allergies. She said she was horrified and terrified of reading about reports from CDC. She listened to name and 2 other doctors. She read on Pfizer. Caller stated that she did not get flu shot because of her allergies. Caller stated that her family had a reaction to Penicillin but not to shots. She had not had Penicillin before. Her doctor said to not have Penicillin just in case. The outcome of swelling left arm was resolved on 30Apr2021, ankle and feet swelling was resolving.  Information on Lot/Batch number has been requested.
