Her blood pressure (BP) shot to 153/110; very high for her. Her fingers became very red and warm to touch, as were other parts of her skin. She felt altogether awful. About 60 minutes after the vaccine and on route to the hospital (as reported) the patient's throat began to feel funny. She was short of breath (SOB) and experienced chest pain and nausea. The patient received treatment with dexamethasone (DECADRON), prednisone, additional medications, and intravenous (IV) fluids.
