The caller stated this was his first time completing a report with Pfizer. He never knew who to call or what to do.

The Specialist told him he should speak to the withheld Pharmacy and talk to them and go from there. He went to the withheld Pharmacy where he was then referred to the place he received his COVID-19 shots. The caller eventually was given paperwork and was told to call the government and then call Pfizer. Caller clarified these events were only occurring in his left arm and left hand.
