Clinical narrative: injection was painful; usual sore shoulder; feeling tired; groggy; Caller received the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine; he is afraid that the ingredients in the hand sanitizer entered the muscle through the skin; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable consumer (patient). A male patient of an unspecified age received bnt162b2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, solution for injection, Batch/Lot Number: not reported), via an unspecified route of administration on an unspecified date as dose 3 (booster), single for covid-19 immunization. Patient had no relevant medical history. The patient concomitant medications were not reported. The patient previously received bnt162b2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 mRNA VACCINE), dose 1, on an unspecified date and received bnt162b2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 mRNA VACCINE), dose 2, on an unspecified date for covid-19 immunization. The patient states that while he was waiting for the pharmacist to assemble and prepare the vaccine, the patient saw a jar of disinfecting alcohol wipes. The patient wiped both of his shoulders with the wipes. The sanitizer dried. Then the vaccine administrator rubbed the injection site area with an alcohol swab and gave him the injection. The patient specified that she did a light rub and gave the injection. The patient was afraid that the ingredients in the hand sanitizer entered the muscle through the skin. The patient mentioned that the ingredients that were found in the sanitizer besides alcohol were: aloe Vera juice, glycerin, a food thickener (which the patient was not sure of the name) and a few other things like vitamin E, an antioxidant. The patient was worried that they could had entered the muscle along with the needle. The patient would like to know if any of these ingredients would be in risk of interacting with the vaccine and affecting the effectiveness of it. The patient also mentioned that the injection was painful. There had been no problem, except usual sore shoulder, feeling tired, groggy. The patient stated that he was doing better today. The patient wants to know when the dosage of the booster shot was injected into the muscle and how long did it take to disperse in the blood. The patient received his booster dose and while the patient was waiting to get his booster dose the patient saw that there were hand sanitizer wipes (further clarification unknown hence, captured as Unspecified Product) and so, the patient thought the patient would wipe down his shoulder before receiving the vaccine and when the patient went to get the booster he did not think that hand sanitizer was dry all the way and so, the patient was wondering if some of the chemicals in that hand sanitizer could had gotten into the injection site from getting the booster and so, the patient was just wanting to know if there would be any interaction but because of this the patient wanted him to speak with Drug and safety first in case you have additional questions for him. The outcome of the events was unknown.    The lot number for the vaccine, [BNT162B2], was not provided and will be requested during follow up.
