Clinical narrative: Patient was given a total of 4 shots at her 11 year check up, two in the back of both arms, her physician's office , listed, should have record of the lot numbers and manufacturer. We left the doctor's office about 1225, at 1240 pm on our ride home my daughter said that she had "funny purple spots on her arm and leg" we were on our way back to her last day at school. I parked in the school parking lot to assess her and she had hive radiating down from the injection site down her entire left arm, and down her left leg.. hundreds of plaques of hives , I stopped, got her 25 mg Benedryl and gave it to her immediately at 12:50 and called her doctors office.. I took her in to see them at 1:30 and they had begun to fade. Additionally, she is very emotional following the injections and is reporting significant pain radiating from  the left injection sites. she has had no other symptoms . We were instructed to continue heavy antihistamine use for the next 72 hrs and go to the ER with any new or worsening symptoms.  The ARNP that saw us in follow up stated That it was impossible to know which injections caused the reaction. I'm scared now to vaccinate against in the future. Will the reaction become more severe?

Symptoms: Arthralgia, Asthenia, Balance disorder, Pain in extremity, Peripheral coldness
Clinical narrative: Aside from the expected sore arm, the morning after the vaccine (about 20-ish hours after injection) I started feeling unsteady and weak, with cold limbs and achy joints. It felt like my blood pressure might be a bit low so I checked it. Per my machine, it was 102/69. My last dose of Losartan had been at least 24 hours before. I subsequently skipped my Losartan dose for today and will resume when my BP returns to baseline.  I drank a quart of water, thinking I might be dehydrated, but then looked up the vaccine side effects on the CDC website and determined this is likely due to the vaccination. The link to your reporting site was on the CDC website so I am filing this report.

Clinical narrative: Within 2 days I had a fever and pain and swelling at site and area was hot to the touch. Was told this was a normal reaction so I took Advil for the pain and fever. Affected area continued to grow larger. By day 6 my fever was up to 103.4 and I felt extremely ill. Went to the doctor and he had me go to the ER. They ran bloodwork and cultures and did a CT scan of the area (no abscess). IV antibiotics were administered along with Toradol for pain and fever and Zofran for nausea. They admitted me to the Rapid Care Unit for observation and continued IV meds. My fever continued to spike over the next two days as they changed around my antibiotics. Once I was fever free for 24 hours I was released on oral antibiotics on Friday 5/24. I have been sleeping a lot since then and have significant soreness in my right hand from the IVs (needed 4 different ones because they became occluded).
