This 59-year-old female consumer reported for herself.  A 59-years-old female patient received first dose of bnt162b2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, Solution for injection, Lot Number: EN6199, Expiry date: unknown), via an unspecified route of administration on 12Mar2021 (at the age of 59 years) as dose 1, single for covid-19 immunization. Medical history included allergy to cats, dogs, birds and mushrooms; allergic to everything; height was shrinking prior to COVID vaccination, she was 5 foot 6 inches, but she is shrinking; sinus infection; and haemorrhoids due to poultry, she has haemorrhoid trouble occasionally, from an unknown date and unknown if ongoing. Patient previously took shingles vaccine (SHINGRIX) on 27Oct2020 and booster shot on 07Jan2021, pneumonia shot (PNEUMOCOCCAL 13 VALENT VACCINE) and flu shot (FLU), both on an unspecified date, she guesses was given probably between Sep and Nov2020, maybe in Oct2020; tetanus shot (TETANUS VACCINE) on 27Oct2020 (at the age of 59 years) and experienced sinus infection; first shingles vaccines on 27Oct2020 and booster to the shingles shot on 07Jan2021, all for unspecified indication; desitin (DESITIN [ZINC OXIDE]) for haemorrhoids due to poultry on an unspecified date; baby diaper rash cream for itchy back (Her doctor said to use baby diaper rash cream when she eats poultry and gets itchy back there) on an unspecified date; and Preparation H [Hydrocortisone] for haemorrhoids and experienced unspecified adverse event on an unspecified date, because it is horrible, she stopped using that a long time of ago (Her doctor said not to ever use Preparation H because it is horrible), Ibuprofen (IBUPROFEN) for pain management. She was tested for COVID and did not have it. She thought it was developing into pneumonia. She was rechecked and didn't have pneumonia nor COVID. They waited for her to get over the sinus infection and that is when they did the Tetanus and Shingle shot. It was all done the same day and in the same arm. Then she had the shingles booster. She is not sure if the COVID shot in combination was too much. Caller clarified that the sinus infection was 18Nov2020 and she tested negative for COVID that day. She went back to the doctor because she thought she had developed pneumonia and was short of breath. She was retested for COVID and negative on 25Nov2020. So she usually gets the Flu shot between September and October. The flu shot and pneumonia shot she guesses was given probably between Sep and Nov2020. They had been waiting for her to get over the sinus infection before giving her the Flu shot and Pneumonia shot. She had all of them so close together even though it wasn't 14 days prior to COVID shot she doesn't know if it was all of it combined. She has never had shingles before, but this is like a shingles outbreak from what she has heard from people. This didn't do anything until she got the COVID shot. The concomitant medications were none. Patient had not taken any vaccines within 14 days of COVID vaccination. On 13Mar2021, the patient broke out in a severe rash. The first time it was across her chest. It was tiny pinpoint bumps that developed white heads on/ by evening they had white head peaks, They were very strong, like hard. On an unspecified date on Mar2021, it got very painful and very sore. She had two adverse reactions to the first COVID shot and the second shot COVID. Caller clarified that she had two reactions in total. One to the first COVID shot and one to the second COVID shot. The adverse reaction is she broke out in a severe rash. The first time it was across her chest. It was tiny pinpoint bumps that developed white heads on. This was the next day. In the morning it was red itchy bumps and by evening they had white head peaks. They were very strong, like hard. She started treating them with Benadryl creams and things like that. It got very painful and very sore. It was prior to the weekend and she couldn't get into the doctor. By the time she could see the doctor it was getting better, so she kept treating on her own at home. She got the booster this past Thursday and once again she broke out in another rash. She has read on the health sites that when you do have COVID there is in fact a rash. She doesn't know if all of it combined was too much or if it was a coincidence. She had made Easter dinner and had eggs in what she cooked and then if the COVID shot was poultry based. It was odd that the reactions happened after the COVID shot. She is on medications for pain management. She takes high doses of Ibuprofen. She doesn't take narcotics. They said not to take it prior to the vaccination. She didn't know if they were saying that because they were injecting a needle and didn't want her blood to be water. She had stopped her medications before getting the vaccine. She knows her body and how freaky it is. Her body will cause chaos for no reason. She didn't take anything a week prior to getting COVID shot including her vitamins. There is nothing else that could have caused it. Reporter clarified that she stopped Ibuprofen and vitamins a week prior to getting her vaccines. The reporter clarified that by late evening the Benadryl cream worked really well for itching. The reporter clarified that what she was calling Benadryl cream is actually called Antiitch cream. It is supposed to be like Benadryl. It says it is a topical analgesic skin protectant cream. it is a histamine blocker that relieves itching form insect bites and skin irritation. It is called Antiitch cream. The reporter stated again that it worked and stopped the itching. She immediately took a hot bath with Epson salt. When she discovered the rash was back there it started with just itching. She soaked in the tub to try and stop the irritation and then when she got out she put the Benadryl cream and diaper cream on. She also used topical spray to get the pain and stinging to stop. What she has heard that shingles was like is what it felt like. She has haemorrhoid trouble occasionally. Her doctor said not to ever use Preparation H because it is horrible. She got the shingles shot prior to the COVID one. Patient reported that, she was on medications for pain management. She takes high doses of Ibuprofen. She doesn't take narcotics. They said not to take it prior to the vaccination. She had stopped her medications before getting the vaccine. She didn't take anything a week prior to getting COVID shot including her vitamins. Caller clarified that she stopped Ibuprofen and vitamins a week prior to getting her vaccines. The patient underwent lab test and procedure for COVID test: negative on an unknown date, she had a sinus infection, and they were waiting for her to get over the sinus infection. She was tested for COVID and did not have it (both prior to vaccination); negative on 18Nov2020; and negative, was retested for COVID on 25Nov2020. Therapeutic measures were taken as a result of the events and patient took treatment with Benadryl creams and things like that (unspecified). The outcome of the events was unknown.
