Additional information: It was reported that, consumer stated, "I am calling today because I have gotten the first 2 doses of Pfizer vaccine. I also had 2 booster shots and I was considering getting the new vaccine (unspecified vaccine) that was out that was for the form 5, that was combined. Now I had severe allergic reactions to many medicines, like almost everything. I cannot take, I cannot tolerate most medicines (unspecified medications). So before I got my first one, I spoke with my doctor because I had 3 episodes of anaphylactic reactions from MRI contrast Gadolinium. That was first time when I had it and then two other antibiotics that I got, not as severe but I got like a reaction again. So my first doctor had checked the ingredients for the one that had given me that MRI, he checked the ingredients on the first one. He said nothing was similar to the gadolinium in it. So it should not cause severe allergic reaction but yet at the place, where I got the test, and the vaccines, especially the first one and the second one, they were very, they see you a physician first and told them that you had a reaction with other things but not the vaccines. I never had that type of reaction to the vaccine. I got every side effect that was listed, that was different, you know. I did not want to get severe allergic reaction like that and I was wondering because the first, I did not have that reaction with the first one and I got the other three with the same shot. So I would not have a different reaction to those but this one was different. So how do I find out what was different in the ingredient that I can speak to my physician to see if any of those might be an issue for me having this last vaccine now. Consumer stated, "I had swelling of my glands under my chin which lasted on all the vaccines for about three months, four months, it did not get away. The last one, fourth vaccine that I had, my arm swelled up like enormously where I got the injection underneath the armpit. I could not put my arm down for three days. It was that swollen. I got fever, I had chills, all these flu kind of side effects, pain in joints and muscles, my heart rate is always high and that lasts for a while. That lasted for a month or two. It was just so many different things. For the last one, I got nauseous and I was throwing up for two days and I could not eat anything for a week, I was so nauseous." Expiration date: Consumer stated, "No, it did not. The first two do, not the third or fourth. The boosters do not have it but it was 06May2022 that I took it. I had all in the same location, if that helps anything." Vaccination facility details: Consumer stated, "I went to the state run, it was in of and it was in, they had their doctors available to speak to prior to that dose. I was concerned about getting the first one. That was why I went there." When probed for the name of the medication that caused allergic reactions: Consumer stated, "I would just remember that one of them was Tessalon Perles, the antibiotic. The other thing that I do have a reaction like that, that was not as severe but I do get similar beginning of the anaphylactic reaction but it did not then develop into more, was for steroids (Prednisone) and the Gadolinium in the MRI." Lot: Consumer stated, "no, I did not have it. The gadolinium was a contrast, an MRI contrast that they put intravenously so, I did not know." Other medical conditions and concomitant medications: Consumer stated, "The only other prescriptions that I take were Niacin ER and that was for the cholesterol and Famotidine. That was the only other things I take. The rest of them are supplements. I have food allergies too, not just medications but food allergies as well." Lab tests: Consumer stated, "No, I had a list of other medications, I have got a whole list of things that I cannot take anymore. It was not an allergic reaction but I get other reactions with the medications. I can only take about four medicines that really did not give me a bad reaction." Treatment in response to adverse event: Consumer stated, "no, the one that was worth was the Gadolinium with the MRI contrast and they had me stay there at the hospital for about five hours. They give me fluids and stuff like that but that was all I had to do." The patient did not receive any prior vaccinations within 4 weeks. The patient received other products (unspecified).
