Additional information: Caller says she does not have an emergency question it was just question of curiosity. She had the Pfizer booster shot 16 days ago and she still has a big red circle and it is about the size of the palm of a woman's hand and she was curious if that was normal. It doesn't hurt and she has not been sick. She was wondering if people who have gotten this have it for a very long time? Product clarified to be the Pfizer COVID vaccine. It started on the day that she got the shot and then it grew and became bright red. Since it grew they measured it just in case things went wrong. They put a ruler there and took a photo in case things went downhill health wise, but they didn't go downhill. She didn't get sick, she didn't throw up, she didn't have a headache and she didn't have any bad reactions. She has lots of allergies and that's why she was concerned. It got bright red, like strawberry red, and she said oh jeez was there anything that she should be worried about and her husband, who has no medical background, said that they could just watch it because people have reactions to these types of things. They just watched it and it had began to fade and fade. She then went to the doctor's office and the doctor said wow, they really bruised her. She asked her husband if it looked like a bruise and they don't think that it looks like one, but they have no medical background. It was not bruised, there was no purple, green, blue or anything like that. It was red and has been fading and fading and she thought my goodness it has been 16 days, she has not been sick but her question is do a lot of people last 16 or 21 days with this slowly fading away? It was visible and if she were out in public in a sleeveless shirt people would say what's that big red mark on her arm? She thought to call and ask if this was common to everyone or common to people who have more sensitive skin and allergies and sensitivities to chemicals and lots of things like spandex, latex and that kind of stuff. She thought she could ask. She had her booster dose of the Pfizer COVID vaccine on 20Dec2021 at 1:15 in the afternoon.   No follow-up attempts are possible. No further information is expected.
