She called her HCP and was instructed by her doctor to take Benadryl. Consumer told her doctor's office that it felt like an allergic reaction and she had read this on the "website". No further events/side effects described by consumer. She has spoken to her Pharmacist (two different pharmacists) and is supposed to go tomorrow. She explains she has received no clear guidance from her HCP and pharmacist. She had one pharmacist tell her that there is no way that what she experienced reaction wise could have been from the Pfizer Covid 19 vaccine. No specific vaccination dates shared by patient. She had a reaction that is not common after receiving the first dose and she would like some guidance about getting the second dose. A day after she got the vaccine, her forehead, which she later clarified was the top of her head near her hair line, was itchy and she had a terrible rash over neck and opposite arm that she got vaccine on. She took Benadryl and she could not get rid of it. The Benadryl would make it subside, but once it wore off, it would come back. It was uncomfortable and it was like she had an allergic reaction. After a couple of days, it went away and then it came back on the arm that she got the vaccine in and on her stomach and chest. She got the vaccine on 13Jul2021, and reaction started 24 hours later. She said the itchiness in the top of her head where her hair is continued for a couple of days. It was an indication that she would break out in a rash. Her head got itchy and 20 minutes later, she got the rash over her neck and it kept happening. The rash went away for a couple of days after she had it for 3-4 days. Around a week after initial reaction of having the rash for 3-4 days and subsiding for 2-3 days, then it came back for 2 days and then it went away and so far so good. She has not had any since.
