Received call from consumer regarding 5th Pfizer COVID vaccine booster. Had rash all over his body and it keeps moving around. Sometimes it was like pins and needles, sometime itches. Goes away in one area and a week later comes back to that area. It has been just short of a month. Have been seeing his skin doctor Dermatologist. Poor call quality after caller provided above information. Outbound call back made successfully with better connection. He started out with practitioner and switched to physician because it got so bad. He did not have an address or email. Got injection on 26Sep2022, and problems started on 27Sep2022 and continued. Outcome provided as a cross between persisting and worsening. He first stated he got it from Withheld, then later clarified as Withheld on Withheld. He is right handed and thinks it was all doses given on left arm. He and his (Patient's) wife had been very lucky and have not had COVID. He did not take that many medications and was very lucky. He did not take any other medications that were different. He takes something for blood pressure, and he takes something, not a prescription, for heartburn. He said the Amlodipine was heart medication but was really blood pressure medication. Blood pressure was coming down. It started coming down on its own before the vaccine. Part of his ethnicity is to have heartburn. All 4 were the Pfizer COVID vaccine. He wanted to find out about any interactions or if this has occurred to anyone else from the 5th booster. Time the Vaccination Was Given was reported he thought it was the morning, and his wife thought it was the afternoon, so he was not sure.
