The following information was reported: LYMPHADENOPATHY (non-serious), outcome "not recovered", described as "swelling of my glands under my chin which lasted on all the vaccines". Relevant laboratory tests and procedures are available in the appropriate section. Therapeutic measures were taken as a result of lymphadenopathy.  Additional information: Caller stated that she already received the first 2 doses and 2 boosters prior, and she want to consider taking the new bivalent vaccine ba4 and ba5. Caller stated that she has many many allergies that may result to anaphylactic reactions. (Caller did not specify her allergies). It was reported that the patient have gotten the first 2 doses of Pfizer vaccine. She also had 2 booster shots and she was considering getting the new vaccine (Unspecified vaccine) that is out that is for the form 5, that is combined. Now she have severe allergic reactions to many medicines, like almost every thing. She cannot take, she can not tolerate most medicines (Unspecified medications). So before she got her first one, she spoke with her doctor because she had 3 episodes of anaphylactic reactions from MRI contrast Gadolinium. That was first time when she had it and then two other antibiotics that she got, not as severe but she got like a reaction again. So her first doctor had checked the ingredients for the one that had given her that MRI, he checked the ingredients on the first one. He said nothing is similar to the gadolinium in it. So it should not cause severe allergic reaction but yet at the place, where she got the test, and the vaccines, especially the first one and the second one, they were very, they see you a physician first and told them that you had a reaction with other things but not the vaccines. She never had that type of reaction to the vaccine. She got every side effect that is listed, that is different, you know. She do not want to get severe allergic reaction like that and she was wondering because the first, she did not have that reaction with the first one and she got the other three with the same shot. So she would not have a different reaction to those but this one is different. So how do she find out what is different in the ingredient that she can speak to her physician to see if any of those might be an issue for me having this last vaccine now. Consumer stated, "she had swelling of her glands under her chin which lasted on all the vaccines for about three months, four months, it did not get away. The last one, fourth vaccine that she had, her arm swelled up like enormously where she got the injection underneath the armpit. She could not put her arm down for three days. It was that swollen. She got fever, she had chills, all these flu kind of side effects, pain in joints and muscles, her heart rate is always high and that lasts for a while. That lasted for a month or two. It was just so many different things. For the last one, she got nauseous and was throwing up for two days and she could not eat anything for a week, she was so nauseous. Expiration date: Consumer stated, "No, it does not. The first two do, not the third or fourth. The boosters do not have it but it was 06May2022 that she took it. She had all in the same location, if that helps anything. The patient did not receive any prior vaccinations within 4 weeks. Consumer stated that she would just remember that one of them is Tessalon Perles, the antibiotic. The other thing that she do have a reaction like that, that was not as severe but she do get similar beginning of the anaphylactic reaction but it did not then develop into more, was for steroids (Prednisone) and the Gadolinium in the MRI. Consumer stated that the gadolinium was a contrast, an MRI contrast that they put intravenously. Consumer stated, the only other prescriptions that she take are Niacin ER and that is for the cholesterol and Famotidine. That is the only other things she take. The rest of them are supplements. She have food allergies too, not just medications but food allergies as well. Lab tests: Consumer stated, "No, she have a list of other medications, she have got a whole list of things that she cannot take anymore. It is not an allergic reaction but she get other reactions with the medications. She can only take about four medicines that really does not give her a bad reaction." Treatment in response to adverse event: Consumer stated, "No, the one that was worth was the Gadolinium with the MRI contrast and they had her stay there at the hospital for about five hours. They give her fluids and stuff like that but that is all she had to do. The patient received other products.
