A 62-year-old non-pregnant female patient received first dose of bnt162b2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 mRNA VACCINE, solution for injection, lot number: er2613, Expiry Date: Not Reported), via an unspecified route of administration, administered in Arm Left on 20Mar2021 (at the age of 62-year-old) at 13:15 as dose 1, single for covid-19 immunisation at Health Clinic. The patient did not receive any other vaccines within 4 weeks prior to the COVID vaccine. The patient medical history included low thyroid, lichen, knee pain. The patient was allergic to medications, food, or other products: lactose intolerant, avocadoes. Concomitant medications included levothyroxine sodium (SYNTHROID) taken for an unspecified indication, start and stop date were not reported; meloxicam taken for an unspecified indication, start and stop date were not reported; estradiol taken for an unspecified indication, start and stop date were not reported; clobetasol taken for an unspecified indication, start and stop date were not reported. The patient received these medications within 2 weeks of vaccination. The patient was not diagnosed with COVID-19 prior to vaccination. The patient was not tested for COVID-19 since the vaccination. On an unspecified date in 2021, cannot touch the injection site or it feels like I someone is putting a blow torch to my arm. Burns intensely/burning like someone is putting a flame thrower on it if I touch it and it burns, it feels like a little pain or itchy, my arm burn like it's on fire, burning fearing pain. The patient reported that the patient received the Pfizer shot on 20Mar2021 and now it's April 2 or 3rd and the patient arm still burning like someone is putting a flame thrower on it if the patient touch it and it burns. The patient hasn't gone to the doctor because the patient has a high deductible plan, and it will cost the patient $100. Sometimes it feels like a little pain or itchy. It is almost debilitating when the patient rubs her fingernails over it. On an unspecified date in 2021, the patient experienced, my arm burn like it is on fire, burning fearing pain, arm in the shot area just touch it with my finger or scratch it with my fingers, it is a localized reaction in my arm. Consumer stated that she had bad reaction to her first Pfizer shot. It was a localized reaction in her arm. She has had the shot; she had the shot on 19Mar2021. It has been about 2 weeks. Her arm burns like it's on fire.  If she touches arm in the shot area just touch it with her finger or scratch it with her fingers. It was feeling like somebody was putting do you know what a boil torch is. How about a cigarette lighter, it feels like somebody is putting that cigarette lighter on her arm, it burns bad. So, she personally doesn't know of any medical solution to that so she doesn't want to spend 100 dollars to go to a doctor to tell her that she can do nothing about it. So can Pfizer tell her about this burning fearing pain in her arm. Paraphrased: Consumer stated Not on her hand, on her arm. She meant was there any treatment for and then do she have to worry about the 2nd shot. Outcome of the event pain was unknown and for other all events the outcome was not recovered.   No follow-up attempts are needed. No further information is expected.
