A 70-year-old female patient received BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, lot number EN6198), via unspecified route of administration in right arm on 09Mar2021 10:00 (at the age of 70-year-old) as 2nd dose, single for COVID-19 immunization (reported as lessen the COVID-19 virus or prevent it). Vaccine was not administered at facility. The patient's medical history included skin cancer (extensive history of skin cancer) from unspecified date, skin cancer removed 5 months before the present report (Jan2021), osteoporosis from unspecified date, tick bite (she was bitten by a tick about 5 months before the present report (Jan2021)). The patient's concomitant medications included calcium carbonate/colecalciferol (CALCIUM + D3) 1500 mg/25 mg, from unspecified date and ongoing. Patient did not receive prior vaccinations (within 4 weeks) and she did not receive other vaccines on the same date with the Pfizer vaccine. No adverse events following prior vaccinations were reported. It was reported that patient was calling about the COVID-19 vaccine. The patient previously received BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, lot number EN6201), via unspecified route of administration on 16Feb2021 10:00 (at the age of 70-year-old) as 1st dose, single for COVID-19 immunization. Patient stated that she had a question. Ever since she took the COVID-19 vaccine she kept an ongoing rash. The odd thing was, the rash will turn up on any part of her body as a tiny red circle, like the size on a pin head. The rash was very intensely itchy. If she touched the rash, it opened and it bled. She did not know if this rash was coincidental after the COVID-19 vaccine so she was wanting to ask if this rash was in the range of common side effects. It was almost 2 months to the day since she had received her second COVID-19 vaccine. She reported her pajamas get bloody from her touching or scratching these spots. The spots were totally isolated. She got one on her eye lid last night and she knew not to touch it. She was never had anything like this before in her life. She had an extensive history of skin cancer. She got full body exams every 6 months and just had skin cancer removed 5 months before the present report. She never had anything like this rash until the COVID-19 vaccine. It was a mystery. She's recently moved from different areas and she's made every excuse as to why she had this rash. She was blamed the water and the fabric softener. She asked if the rash was a common side effect. She last saw her dermatologist in Feb2021 and her rash didn't begin until Mar2021. The itching was so intense and annoying. She had not seen her doctor or dermatologist since the rash appeared. She was calling Pfizer to make sure she had all the correct information before making an appointment with her dermatologist. She provided the following information in a historical context. She was providing this information because she was trying to rule out reasons she had this rash she was calling to report. She reported she was bitten by a tick about 5 months before the present report. This occurred prior to her receiving either COVID-19 vaccine. She had no circles at her tick bite. She did not think she had Lyme disease. She looked up the symptoms for Lyme disease. Even at the time the tick was removed, it was head stayed in her skin but she had no fever or exhaustion. She did not think her rash was residual from the tick bite. She did not feel afraid. She was not feeling any kind of discomfort. She got a little tickle like at her knee or somewhere on her body and the tickle turned into a red welt and started bleeding. It was very annoying. The rash could show up anywhere but not on the palms of her hands or on the bottoms of her feet. She was retired and she was living her new life. She was itchy all over and she tried not to touch the rash. She was hoping the rash would just resolve, it was very peculiar. She didn't feel real concerned because she had access to a good dermatologist. She was just trying to eliminate causes of the rash so she didn't waste her doctor's time. It seems like the doctor's only wanted to spend about 5 minutes with her anyway. She reported the rash started within a week after she received the second COVID-19 vaccine she believed. It started with the second vaccine, not the first vaccine. At her age she was trying to be orderly but she was still sometimes forgetful. Second COVID-19 vaccine given in the right arm on 09Mar2021, Lot number EN6198. She didn't even get a sore arm from the vaccine. Patient would like to know whether their side effects were related to the COVID vaccine. She said she had an ongoing symptom for about 2 months at the time of this report: A little traveling dot, rash, itchy, sometimes swelling. If touched it starts bleeding immediately. They were usually singular and about 6 of them which are active. Sometimes it appeared on her toe, and sometimes on her eyelids Unsure if it was directly related to any vaccine as she had a few other changes recently such as moving from one area to another and also a tick bite but they have eliminated that as a cause. Patient would like to know whether the data shows a timeframe for how long these (non-severe allergic reactions) last. No relevant tests were performed. The outcome of the events was not resolved.
