About a week after receiving the second dose, her lower lip broke out with cold sores on an unspecified date in Jun2021 and she has been fighting this more than a week now. She tried Zovirax (NDC and lot unknown, expiration date 31Mar2021) which usually helps with this but it did not this time. It has been years since this has happened. Yes, this has happened to some other people. It has been two weeks now. The Zovirax tamped it down a little but did not get rid of it like it normally does. She thinks her immune system is working and her immune system is causing the issue. It was reported that she had the normal flu like symptoms and headache on 04Jun2021 and it went away in under three days, she thought it was normal. The caller also had a sore arm on 03Jun2021 and aches and pains on 04Jun2021. By the fourth day the caller was fine. The caller wanted to make Pfizer aware that someone else had the herpes complex problem. The adverse events did not require a visit to Emergency Room or Physician Office. It was reported that age at time of onset of reaction/event was 78. Time of onset of adverse events was unknown. There was no investigation assessment. It was reported that she is tired of lock down and she does not want to wear a mask the rest of your life. She googled to see if anyone else had this come up and it seems to be a minor amount of people that have experienced it. She didnt expect for this to happen to her. The reporter assessed events as non-serious. The reporter assessed events relatedness to Pfizer covid vaccine as Related. The outcome of event, lower lip broke out with cold sores was not recovered while for other events was recovered on an unspecified date in Jun2021.  Additional information is requested.
