Additional information: He had COVID at the beginning of the year. Caller reported that he had the Pfizer vaccine, the 1st one on 05Sep2021 and then 7 to 10 days afterwards he broke out in welts all over the left side of his body from his hip to his arm pit from the middle of his back to the middle of his chest. It had started at 4:00 AM as a small whelp on his side and then when he woke up at 8:00 he was covered in whelps about a quarter inch high off of his skin. They were painful, very painful, and itching. He didn't have anything to do and he is homeless and lives outside and he just thought that something maybe bit him and he had some cortisone or hydrocortisone cream whatever it's called, an anti-itch medication, from when he did have a job and he had put that on there and it helped for a minute and then it got even more painful and it stayed like that for 4 to 5 days. He went back to where he got the vaccine and showed them and told them about it and they said that he needed to go to hospital. There is an emergency medical response across the street so he walked over there to see if they could transport him to the hospital and they wouldn't do it because he was homeless, and he didn't have any money. So he had to suffer for 4 to 5 days with this and it dissipated a little bit and then went away but he still had marks on his skin and where they were for at least 4 to 5 days. One person said that it probably caused him to have shingles come up. He had chicken pox before and he did research on the shingles vaccine and didn't want to have that done so he doesn't know. Weight: He is 155 pounds to 160 pounds, he has lost a lost of weight.   Follow-up attempts are completed. No further information is expected.
