Clinical information: Consumer stated, "Okay, I talked to someone in your group yesterday (Further clarifications unknown) and I wanted to refer me to the safety department but I did not have time to talk to them at that time yesterday, I had an appointment. Just a few things this is concerning, the COVID Pfizer (Calrified as Pfizer COVID-19 Booster shot) Booster. I had the Booster, I checked I had the Booster the last one on 28Sep of last year and I checked the LOT# with the representative yesterday and apparently I did get the latest booster shot which is 23-24 Booster. Okay, I had a congestion, I don't know what type of virus it was. They, it did end up with a infection in my left ear and the doctor prescribed me Amoxicillin (Batch/lot number: SM8722068A, manufacturer: Aurobindo, NDC number of Amoxicillin: 65862-503-20, Expiry Date of Amoxicillin: Jun2024) anti-biotic which has cleared up the swelling in the left ear and I still have some congestion but a lot better. I did not get a test for the COVID at that time. I was concerned in that I had heard that there was an outbreak at the church where I was attending and I have COVID. I don't know how serious that was but anyways what I heard. My question is I am getting mixed answers to my question but in my understanding that the booster shot, I was told yesterday that the Booster shot, should prevent COVID but then I had told by a Pharmacist or someone representing the Pharmacist locally that the booster just did not prevent you from getting COVID but it just made the, I guess they says it is less effective and that is severe in other words you probably get by without going into the hospital or whatever and but anyway they were saying that it was not, it did not prevent you from getting COVID. That is what the Pharmacist representative, there is one the Pharmacist. It was someone that represent the Pharmacies. So, yesterday though I was told that the booster would prevent COVID. What is the correct answer?" Consumer stated, "Yes, Pfizer COVID-19 Booster for its HG4628, the last one I have got and that was Sep of last year. all the shots that I had for COVID have been Pfizer. Other medical condition and other medications: Consumer stated, "No, I only take blood pressure medication and I this is rosuvastatin, statin drug 5 milligrams. Facility type was the Pharmacy. Anatomical location: I think it was the left arm. No other vaccine administered on same date, I had the flu vaccine within a few days of that but that was all. No. Amoxicillin was for an infection that was in the left ear."
