Vaccine: COVID19
Symptoms: Abdominal pain upper, Insomnia, Myalgia, Sensory disturbance
Clinical narrative: About 10-15 minutes following the vaccine I began to feel a sensation on the left side of my body (injected in left arm).  It began across the left side of my face and over a period of about 15 minutes it spread to my left arm and then my left leg.  It never went to my right side.  It was not painful.  It was not numbing, tingling, or anything.  It was simply a sensation.  It hung around a while, and was gone by evening (shot at 3:30 pm).  In the evening around 6:30 I began to get a upper stomach ache.  The pain was manageable by sitting down, and was more bothersome by being up and around.  When I went to bed that evening the pain was worse, still in my upper stomach, and I was unable to sleep.  I took some pepto bismol wondering if I had eaten something that bothered me, but that didn't seem to touch the pain.  Somewhere between 12:30-1:00am I did fall asleep.  When I woke up in the morning the stomach pain was very minimal and I could go about normal activity.  Within a couple hours the pain was gone.  Those were the adverse events on the day of the vaccine.  I also had normal muscle arm soreness for approximately 4 days.  Over the next  4 days I did have some stomach pain that would come and go, but it never required medication and it did not effect daily activity.

Clinical narrative: Originally I only had a tender injection site for 3-4 days. Just to preface, I?m a flight attendant and was on a trip  (left 1/29). I?ve tried to keep all the times in EST. On 1/30, my feet and hands started to itch intensely around 3 PM. I thought it was due to the detergent on the hotel sheets. 1/31 I took one Benadryl around 4AM. It took the itch away. Around noon the itching returned so I used Eurlax cream which didn?t do much, by the time I arrived home Around 430 PM, my hips and back were covered with a rash but only my hips itched lightly. I took another Benadryl. I decided to go to a testing site to see if they knew if it was related to the vaccination. While at the site I got a rapid and PCR test. On the flight, my smell disappeared but I ( thought) I could still taste. It began to return on 1/31. No other symptoms. My rapid test came back positive for COVID on 1/31 6PM. I have not received my PCR (blizzard and faculties closed ).  Over the past few days, the rash has mainly been on my upper legs, torso, and head/face. It itches to the point I have scratch marks. My Dr put me on prednisone and anti itching cream. I don?t notice a difference. The Benadryl helps bit makes me sleepy. I?m going to try cetirizine tomorrow. I will also be getting allergy tested for PEG when the Dr will allow me to visit.

Symptoms: Hypertension, Laboratory test normal, Lip swelling, Swelling face
Clinical narrative: I awoke on 1/23/2021 (Saturday) morning to find my face and especially my lips swollen.  Contacted doctor's office for the on-call; he strongly suggested I visit the ER. Was kept there for 2-3 hours for observation.  Was considered "hypertensive,"  routine blood work done (CBC, metabolic panel) all of which were normal.  Was given Prednisone and ZyrTec.   After no change in my condition, was discharged with instruction to contact primary physician and continue to take Prednisone and ZyrTec for the next four more days.   The reason for the facial and lip swelling could not be determined......It was indicated that the swelling could be one of several things including an allergic reaction to something topical like a lip balm (I used a Blistix application before bed), a reaction to one of my medication (BP med-Olmesartan, which they told me to discontinue) or less likely a reaction to the COVID vaccine.

Clinical narrative: Pt came to office stating that 8 days after receiving first dose of covid vaccine he has "an infection". Pt had area of erythema, 11.5cm X 7.5cm, oval shaped on his right arm, At the top of the oval, there was a more hard and reddened area, 4cm circular, and the area around it was more diffuse, lightening to the edge. Pt denies "any real itching" but did c/o tenderness when pressed on. Pt states that the first 7 days after his vaccine there was no reaction, visibly, at all. He had a "bit" of soreness after shot, like he expected, then nothing until day 8.  He did use ice on the area from the 1/20/21 through 1/28/21, when he came to our office.  Nurse initially viewed area, had PA also look. PA felt after her examination that the area was urticarial, and prescribed prednisone and Benadryl orally, and advised pt to use hydrocortisone 1% cream up to 4 times daily. Pt returned the next day, area was much less red, smaller in size, and less swollen and hard.  He was advised to use Benadryl orally and hydrocortisone 1% topically, prophylactically, after his second injection.
