Relevant medical history and concurrent conditions included A-fib, Arrhythmia, Pulmonary issues, eye and sinus infection, reflex sympathetic dystrophy in left foot and ankle, Hypothyroidism, which she has had practically forever and High cholesterol from unspecified date and unknown if ongoing. She has had an eye and sinus infection almost since her surgery because they cut a hole in one of her sinuses which exacerbated the problem. she has diagnosed allergies, a compromised immune status, and respiratory illness, and unfortunately, she may fall under the category of obese from unspecified date. With the last hospitalization she spoke of previously, she was referring to an eye and sinus infection. The best the doctors could figure out was that they happened simultaneously and ultimately it required emergency surgery. She had an abscess in her eye, but at first nobody believed her when she said she had something really wrong in her eye. She confirms this hospitalization was in Dec2018. She has autoimmune issues from unspecified date. She confirms all of these conditions happened prior to receiving the Pfizer COVID vaccine. There were no concomitant medications. Additional vaccines administered on same date of the pfizer suspect if applicable, list all vaccines administered on same date with the pfizer vaccine considered as suspect were none. She states they mentioned the booster and she was like no. Prior Vaccinations (within 4 weeks) If applicable, list any other vaccinations within four weeks prior to the first administration date of the suspect vaccine(s) were none. AE(s) following prior vaccinations included the only issue she has had is feeling like crap for a few days on an unspecified date. Family medical history relevant to AE(s) was not provided. There was no investigation assessment. The Reporter was calling in regards to the COVID vaccine. She wanted to let Pfizer know and talked to several doctors and her pharmacist and they are just like totally blown away. With the first shot she got, she ended up with shingles on an unspecified date in 2021. The reporter stated that she was supposed to go to emergency Room but couldn't because she had a very bad experience at her last hospital visit. She stated that she talked to a couple doctors. She was seeing her cardiologist today. Everyone that she has spoken to has never heard of this before. The caller asked, how is it she is the only person on the planet this has happened to? She knows she is the trifecta between her age and underlying medical problems, but like really? No one else has experienced this? Reporter seriousness for shingles was unspecified. The outcome of event was unknown.  No follow-up attempts are possible. No further information is expected.
