Clinical narrative: severe headaches; strong pain in my head, my left arm and left eye; strong pain in my head, my left arm and left eye; light pressure during the morning in my head not as severe as the other days; whole body turned red; bumps; itchy; nausea; stomach ache; eyes were numb; left arm was numb; rash all over his body; chills; flu symptoms; Caller (male, age 33) spoke already to someone prior to Pfizer and gave information on his experience with the Pfizer covid vaccine.  "I took the first dose of the Pfizer vaccine on Saturday 17APR2021. I got a severe reaction from the Pfizer vaccine. I got the normal chills the next day and flu symptoms. From the next day to day 5 I got severe headaches, strong pain in my head, my left arm and left eye. I took Tylenol and ibuprofen within those days. The Tylenol didn't help at all, ibuprofen 200mg didn't do much. Yesterday I went to the ER because I had light pressure during the morning in my head not as severe as the other days, in the afternoon I had a tight pressure in my head so I took 2 tablets of extra strength Tylenol, the headache went away but within an hour I had a bad reaction. My whole body turned red, bumps, itchy. It was bad.  It was bizarre because I've never had reaction to Tylenol prior. I never had that before yesterday. It was the first time. They gave me a shot of steroids. The doctor didn't know if it was a bad reaction to the Pfizer reaction (said it would usually occur within 4 hours of getting the vaccine) or the mix of the Tylenol and the pfizer vaccine together. He had no clue. But he had not seen a reaction of the vaccine at 5 days later. He said I could have reacted late, or the Tylenol and Pfizer vaccine together had a bad reaction.  I had covid late Jan of this year. The vaccine more interaction due to that if I had immunity to it. It was so bad I don't know if it's possible to wait 2 months for the 2nd shot. I heard the first dose 80-90 percent immunity or even more. With my body I never had this reaction. Today I'm a whole lot better (day 6). I am too putting too much, should I wait 90 days other say 4 weeks. What to do about the 2nd dose? How about using antihistamines during/after my second dose? What about Tylenol or Ibuprofen?"  I had a side effect after the first dose of the vaccine.  Should I get the second dose?  e-transmitting potential duplicate AE. Caller said he didn't give PCP information to the safety agent. He did not have. Response: Spoke from EUA PI (Revised: 06 April 2021) under Post Authorization Experience Fact Sheet for Recipients and Caregivers (Revised: 06 April 2021) under section WHAT ARE THE RISKS OF THE PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE? As noted in the Fact Sheet for Recipients, you should not get the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine if you had a severe allergic reaction after a previous dose of the vaccine or if you had a severe allergic reaction to any ingredient of the vaccine. The decision to receive the second dose for any other reason cannot be made by Pfizer. We refer you to speak to your healthcare provider about the risks of the vaccine compared to the risks of potentially not being fully protected against COVID-19 infection. Your healthcare provider knows your health situation and has access to information that can better help inform this decision.
