Symptoms: Injection site erythema, Injection site pain, Injection site pruritus, Pain
Clinical narrative: Initial site reaction was sore upper arm, no initial redness or other issues. General slight body aches and pains over the next 24 hours with no issues. No additional problems until on approximately Day 9 (Saturday after the immunization), the left arm became erythematous from approximately the vaccination site to almost the elbow.  This erythema was approximately three inches wide and the skin was raised slightly. Area was slightly itchy, not painful, and was warm to the touch. Erythema increased over the next 3 days and I sent a picture to my primary care physician. He advised a Medrol dose pack and Keflex. I requested that I be able to start the Keflex but hold off on the Medrol dose pack for a couple of days. He suggested Benadryl q 6 hours. I sent pictures each day. Two days later, there was some improvement but the provider did not feel there was enough improvement and he encouraged me to start the Medrol dose pack. I started the dose pack on Day 14 (Thursday) around 2 p.m. By 9:00 p.m. on the same day, there was considerable improvement in the look of the arm and the skin was only slightly raised. At the time of this report on Day 18, Monday 01/25/2021, I will finish the Medrol dose pack tomorrow. There is a shadow of where the erythema was and there is no raised skin.

Clinical narrative: Patient submitted MyChart message as below detailing her adverse reaction to COVID-19 vaccine: "Hello, I received my first Pfizer COVID vaccine on Friday Jan 22 at a health care program. On Friday I felt no arm discomfort, but had a stomach ache all day. Saturday I was very tired and in the evening I noticed my left shot shoulder/arm pit area, bra line area was swollen and uncomfortable. Woke up in the night feeling like my left arm pit, and breast area was more swollen and if I had to paint it I would describe it as tiny bubbles all enlarged underneath my skin. Guessing it is my lymph nodes? This unusual feeling has since spread to the left side of my neck inside my throat and out.  It is not painful, I have taken a warm shower,  only wearing loose, comfy clothing and am sitting with a warm bean pillow on my neck. I just wanted to report how I am feeling if others are having similar reactions."

Clinical narrative: VACCINE received on Friday 1/15/2021 afternoon; Monday evening 1/18/2021 felt slight chills; early to bed. Tuesday AM awoke with severe 'bed-rocking' chills, nausea and fever 100-101 degrees. recommended I go to Hospital ER.  At ER, temperature increased to 102 degrees.  Covid test was negative, but cost X-ray showed reasons to suspect pneumonia. No one suggested I was just suffering acute reaction to vaccine.  Returned home w/ prescription for doxycycline hyclate and request that I return to the ER the next day if I continued to feel ill.  The next morning, 1/19/21, I again awoke with intense, somewhat frightening chills, vomiting and a mild fever.  As instructed I returned to the ER.  Assuming the COVID Test may have been a false negative, a second one was given; it too turned out to be negative, but I remained at the ER and then admitted to Hospital to remain under observation.  Im the hospital the chills, nausea and fever came to an end, but acute headache and utter fatigue lasted until I was released on Jan 22.  My discharge papers indicated no further signs of pneumonia or any other infection; my attending doctor, concluded that my experience was an unusually strong (and delayed) reaction to the 1st dose of the Moderna Vaccine.

Clinical narrative: About 20 minutes after the injection I started to feel like I was going to vomit, got nauseated and dizzy..  I had left the site after the 15 minute wait,  and since I read that Nausea was one of the side effects, I thought it would go away.  I waited another  30 minutes in my car at a parking lot outside the hospital in case I really  couldn't drive home.  I did drive home , but have been feeling the same nausea every day and some dizziness and diarrhea for the past 11 days.  I called my doctor and she said to take it easy, drink fluids, eat light and that I could get the second shot. I am not sure if this is just a reaction or a severe allergic reaction and I need advice and feedback on that issue.
