Therapeutic measures were taken as a result of urticaria, rash erythematous, rash pruritic.  Additional information: The vaccine was administered to her top upper shoulder of the arm. The patient did not know for sure when the hives started and then clarified it was Sunday 19Nov2023 and she took the vaccine at about 01:00 and then six hours later got hives. She went to urgent care for the diagnosis with hives. She was hearing from the urgent care doctor about this but it was quite severe and in different places like her thighs and hands and arms and tummy a little bit and wherever she itched and scratched it. The hives are resolving in various places. She just went to the urgent care and they observed her and listened and said it was definitely hives and did not test on it but they could tell.  She is taking prednisone for the steroid and Claritin for the antihistamine. She waited to see on Monday to see if the hives would go away and when she sleeps, it sort of fades and when she wakes up it starts up again like once she has woken up but she has no idea as she has not had hives before.   She has never had hives and was thinking it was a rash as she has had rashes and is allergic to certain things like fabrics and especially cotton that is wrinkle free and her uncle by marriage has the patent for that fabric and told her not to use this as she was reacting to the chemicals; her rash is red and very very itchy welts and little bumpy things and then she realized she had hives. She found online that she probably had hives and clarified that this was her first Pfizer vaccine and she had previously had Moderna.
