Additional information: The reporter confirmed that chest pain started the same day within 1 hour of vaccination, along with the difficulty breathing.  He is concern that the "chills have persisted" and "the nausea is persisting" noting "now on day 10 and he felt like he was going to throw up yesterday" and that "he was a 100% perfectly healthy child up until the 28th". He reports "the chest hurting kind of persists as well, not as much." Caller noted they "didn't go to the hospital because he was just sitting watching TV, saw that he was having difficulty breathing, but he was breathing so he wasn't going into anaphylactic shock. Of course, the patient do have an Epipen at home, but there was no need for it". Caller is concerned about the shaking/tremoring hands "started a week after he got the vaccine" stating "on Tuesday he had the shivers and he put his hands out and his hands were shaking like a 90y/o man trying to grab a glass of water, and he said his heart was racing". Patient was seen by his pediatrician on Wednesday 05Jan2022, and "he told them he had the tremors in both of his hands" and the doctor "said everything looks fine" but "he was in there, and he was sick. He was fatigued, tired, just overall bad. The patient was kept home from school, he couldn't go to school on Wednesday. He went to school on Thursday and started feeling nauseous after school, like he was going to throw up. Today he went to school and that's kind of where they are at".

The reporter wanted to confirm the recommended dosing interval for the second dose is 3 weeks, as that deadline is approaching and he needs to decide whether to get his child the second dose.
