Additional information: Caller confirmed information provided by the transferring agent, stating that what she was experiencing was different than what she had experienced with her prior vaccines. Her first and second dose were the Pfizer covid vaccine, and then she got the booster, and then she had the flu shot. Yesterday afternoon she had the second booster, she got it because she was 80 years old with 2 stents in the heart as well as on Plavix. After getting the second booster yesterday, she was fine for the first hour, but then she noticed the arm got real cold, as if someone put ice on it, she said to herself that they have got to be kidding, maybe if she goes to bed the arm will get warm, however the arm got really hard not warm. This didnot bother her last night, but this morning it was still not red. Usually with her prior vaccines, around the injection site it gets red, even with the flu shot, and all vaccines, however this second booster her arm never turned red, it was still not red today, her arm was just very hard today this morning and very sore. It has got slightly warm today compared to yesterday. Caller confirms that the side effects she was experiencing are on the same arm that she received the second booster injection in. She asks if all this was normal, and why was her arm so cold. Caller states that she was just curious, this one was so much different than her other previous vaccines.  No follow-up attempts are possible. No further information is expected.
