She tried to call Pfizer the other day, but there were 14 callers ahead of her so she hung up. Diarrhea: Began about two weeks after she received the first dose of the covid vaccine. Her diarrhea was ongoing, it has never really let up and is about the same. Indication: Basically it seemed like the right thing to do at her age. It seemed like a good idea. If she had to go through this diarrhea again, she might not be so willing to get the covid vaccine. She was not looking forward to possibly getting a booster at six months or one year if she ends up needing too.
