Caller is calling about Pfizer COVID vaccine. She stated that she got the first dose and is scheduled to have 2nd on Monday. Her doctor is a little concerned about her taking the second dose. The pa-tient stated that she received the First dose of the covid vaccine on 13Jan, she didn't notice any signs and symptoms initially, She didn't have any reaction within the first 15 minutes until that evening she had the vaccine at 9am. At approximately 6pm when I was changing my clothes after work, she noticed she had a rash and it was swollen on my Right Arm where the injection site was and  the past couple weeks she has felt like she had a cold with a runny nose, headache. The rash lasted about 4-5 days and now it  has come back and its huge so the doctor is concerned saying He said that he wanted her to pay attention to what is happening first 4 hours after the vaccine and in that periodShe actually hadn't looked at it prior to then, she had gone back to work and wasn't hav-ing any symptoms, but that evening is when the pain and itching started.  but she doesn't recall looking to check until that night. Her doctor just couldn't find anything about a rash lasting this long. Yesterday she had some chills and cold symptoms and the rash she noticed it came back, it is on the back of her arm so it is not exactly easy to see. Her doctor wanted her to call and see if anyone else has had that kind of reaction. It has kind of started to fade away and she wasn't having symp-toms so she wasn't really paying attention to it because it wasn't itching. Sometimes she looked it would look like it was almost gone but now it is back with a vengeance. Her first dose was 13Jan2021 and that same evening is when she noticed it, she noticed it when it started itching. The first 4 days were pretty bad with itching really bad, it itched for about 4 days and then the rash started to go away but now it itched slightly yesterday but now most of the time it is not itching, just red. She says it is a flat rash, no raised areas. The signs and symptoms lasted 4 days, as far as the itching and redness, by 2nd and 3rd day the itching was really bad and then the itching im-proved a little bit by the 4th day and was gone by the fifth day. The day after she  had the vaccine, she also started having cold symptoms, runny nose, cough and headache. But then, she still had cold symptoms, kinda like you are coming down with a cold, nose runny, slight cough and little bit of a headache. Still having these now, not quite as bad, it seems to be getting better. Monday night this week, a week and a half after the vaccine, the rash came back in the same area the right arm, she went back to the doctor this morning. She was concerned about getting the second dose after this rash. Yesterday she had some slight chills, but no itching. Her MD wanted her to call be-cause he didnt' know if she had the rash the rash immediately following the vaccine or if the symp-toms came on later, because she didn't feel anything. He enguired if she Should  get the second dose?  After information was provided to caller regarding referring to Health care provider, she stated that she was hoping to see if maybe there was information in studies if anyone had similar reaction and still received the second vaccine."The outcome of the events i noticed i had a rash and it was swollen on my right arm where the injection site was, pain and itching (pain), most of the time it is not itching, just red, is a flat rash, no raised areas was unknown, outcome of pain and itching (pruritus) was recovered on unspecified date, outcome of cold symptoms, runny nose, cough, headache was recovering.
