The patient underwent the following laboratory tests and procedures: blood pressure measurement: (15Jan2022) elevated. Therapeutic measures were taken as a result of pruritus, blood pressure increased. Additional information: The wife mentioned that her spouse has a history of having Covid-19 twice and one was in 2020 therefore he is experiencing long haul Covid in which fatigue and shortness of breath are the effects of long haul Covid. In Jun2021, the wife stated that he got sick (became very ill) since he was a long hauler, so he went to the hospital because he wound up getting pneumonia again and infection through his entire body and his organs were shutting down. He had to learn to walk and talk all over again. Got COVID-19 a second time, being transferred from hospital to hospital. The disease did a terrible thing to him. She added that they had to wait and wait for a whole year after getting COVID-19 in 2020 to see when he could get a vaccine. Caller states he got his first vaccine 23Dec2021, and he recently got his second one on 14Jan2022. She further added that because he has long hauler Covid, he always has fatigue and shortness of breath but they were a little more and he didn't feel so good but that passed in 2 days, and they didn't think much of it. The second dose it was different. The reporter stated that her husband received his second dose of the Pfizer BioNTech Covid-19 vaccine last 14Jan2022, and he has itching in his body and now she is asking if itching is a side effect of the vaccine. She further mentioned that the patient did not have a rash on his body, but he is continuously itchy, and his insides are shaky, and his blood pressure has been escalated more than normal. The patient experienced itchiness and an elevated blood pressure which must be his immune system building protection. The events are ongoing however, the blood pressure has come down a little bit since the patient is on blood pressure medication. It was added that the last 2 days his blood pressure has been coming down. She further stated in the recording that the itching could be a side effect from the vaccine, is it? The treatment given was lotion. His second dose side effects were worse than the first dose side effects. People have no idea what he is going through with the long-haul symptoms of COVID, people have to realize this disease is real. She called their insurance Covid-19 hotline who told her that itchiness was not a known side effect of the vaccine. The reporter's husband received the first dose of the Pfizer COVID-19 Vaccine on Dec2021 and Second dose on Jan2022 but experienced serious side effects "specially after the second dose" and so she wanted to know if her husband should get the booster dose. The reporter inquired if these were normal side effects and how long they will last.  No follow-up attempts are possible. No further information is expected.
