Therapeutic measures were taken as a result of urticaria.  Clinical course: Patient asked if the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine has affected 1% of the population with hives. Patient has been under her doctor's case for this and w as given prednisone, antihistamine, and creams. Patient stated that the antihistamines have been not working for her. Patient took Benadryl which dried off her mouth. Patient also took Zyrtec. Patient took Allegra for hives which she plans to stop. Patient also takes prescription cream which she has been using all over her body. Patient only took the Pfizer COVID Vaccine for her supposed travel for a wedding in Feb. Patient had her first dose on 28Dec2022, and 2nd dose at the end of Jan2023. Patient also took yellow fever shots. Last visit, doctor told her it may take 8 weeks to get over the hives. Patient described the hives as debilitating to her sleep pattern. Patient mentioned that Pfizer should make an antidote. Patient mentioned about her friend who works in the medical community and had a COVID shot when it first came out. Patient's friend has been itching for 2 years and had gone to different allergists. Patient was not sure if her friend has hives. It was reported that patient broke out in hives. It was also reported that patient didn't take any COVID shots during the whole pandemic, but out of personal necessity because she is going overseas to get married and didn't want to be detained and quarantined, she went ahead and got it with yellow fever and others. States she sailed through those 12 years ago. Her 1st Pfizer COVID shot was on 28Dec2022 and within a week she broke out in hives and has had them ever since. As a requirement that she was fully vaccinated she had to take the 2nd shot a month later. She is under a doctor's care, but they have not stopped, and she is not getting any relief with prescribed or over the counter medication. She is currently on a topical cream. It's like hell. She didn't want to take the shot. She is 75-year-old and it's debilitating. She is losing sleep and itching all day. The thing is this is an experimental drug and has probably saved lives. She had a mild case of COVID summer in Jul2022 at her high school reunion. She took Paxlovid under her doctor's guidance. It didn't matter the county health only offered Pfizer. Everything she has read between Moderna and Pfizer have had rashes listed, they say 1% but she didn't believe withheld or anyone else, they caused such misery. She will be 1st in line with a lawsuit for pharmaceuticals. Looking at it made billions of dollars, and she is there, 75-years-old and she wanted to go over and get married. She doesn't have a card yet. Hives are all over her body, not one place untouched. They do heal within maybe 4 days. Doesn't know why they didn't work up an antidote or something. Her doctor is puzzled. He said she got the last one end of Jan and to give it 8 weeks. She is coming up end of March and doesn't see any change. Patient further added that she never had hives in her life. Doctor says it's a reaction. After exhausting helping her, the next step is some kind of shot. The last conversation is what is the shot, what is in it and how long will this last? Asking how long will this last? What does the research say, the documentation on how long this is lasting. Online what she reads keep saying 1% population affected. Does call handler agree with that? When look online documented cases seems low.   The information on the batch/lot number for BNT162b2 has been requested and will be submitted if and when received.; Sender's Comments: Linked Report(s) : US-PFIZER INC-202300136222 Same patient/vaccine, different dose, similar event;
