Clinical narrative: Sent: Thursday, September 23, 2021, 04:38:34 PM Subject: Pfizer Vaccine Administration I am incredibly angry and frustrated by the recent communication via call yesterday, September 23, 2021 from corporate headquarters. Initially, I did not take it seriously but since it had the exact location of the pharmacy that administered my vaccine I decided to call. Today, I called the pharmacy to follow up. The pharmacist basically stated there was an issue with the vaccine I received on August 13, 2021. She said the vaccine I received was frozen, thawed then frozen and therefore would require that I get a third vaccine. I was floored! I got my second vaccine on September 3, 2021 at this same location. Nothing was mentioned to me at that time. So it's been almost six weeks since the problem vaccine and I am JUST NOW being made aware of this? THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE! The pharmacist could not answer any of my questions. She could not tell me what the condition of the failed vaccine is, did the molecular structure change, what is the efficacy, why is she telling me to get a third one when the FDA rejected boosters for under 65, non-immunity compromised, how is she able to make that recommendation? She could not tell me if there were certain side effects when using an out of spec vaccine. She just said you'll have to speak to your medical provider. I then spoke to Pfizer. They said there was no "temperature excursion" in the system for this location so they have no idea what to tell me to expect from using an out of spec vaccine. Later, the district leader called me to discuss the situation. She offered a bit more understanding of said issue. I asked her how could the safety protocols not prevent this? I also wanted to confirm specifically what the failure was and she termed it "extended freezer storage" and that is what not an expired vaccine. She also stated the medical team reviewed the situation and this was there recommendation to get another vaccine at this time. Well, all of this verbal and NOT ONE person I spoke to was on the medical team not has credentials that would suggest to me that off of a verbal conversation I should accept an additional shot at this time. This is something that should have been in writing from your medical team ASAP. The length of time (August 13, 2021) until I was notified was almost six weeks. Recommendation offered was not backed with any science as to what currently has been injected (i.e. Overdosing). Your initial response for something life and death health related was an automated cal. Pharmacy can't tell how their failure will affect me or the efficacy of having one out of spec vaccine and one in spec vaccine. The idea that I have foolishly been moving around thinking I'm fully vaccinated potentially causing undue harm is both maddening and saddening. I have contacted my health care provider and am waiting to speak with her directly on my personal next steps. I will NOT return to pharmacy for an additional vaccine nor can I, in good conscience not share this with my immediate community. I also am looking for information on what happens to this vaccine at extended freezer storage to better understand what pharmacy injected in me on August 13, 2021. I did request a summary of this failed Administration of August 13,2021 in writing from director. However, I would hope as the administrator pharmacy would be more committed to protecting its patients/customers. I'll continue to seek out counsel on the best way forward to ease my health car
