Additional information: Received call from consumer regarding the Pfizer COVID vaccine booster that she received last Tuesday, 8 days ago. She had shingles 49 years ago. She was 69. She had a case of shingles under her left arm near her rib cage 49 years ago. Yesterday, a brand new lesion occurred right where the old one was. Hopefully, that was the only one that she will have. When she had shingles before, they left scars and this is in the area of the bed of scars from before. Yesterday morning was when she first noticed it when swimming, but she did not pay attention to it until the evening. It was a little more pronounced now and is sensitive to touch. She knows the booster was on the same side as the shingles thing. She takes high blood pressure medicine and that is about it. She confirmed she was taking for years before the vaccine. She did some looking online when she found the lesion last night and read they are likely to happen with people with autoimmune and she does not have any of those. She was really healthy without much of a medical history. History of all previous immunization with the Pfizer vaccine considered as suspect (or patient age at first and subsequent immunizations if dates of birth or immunizations are not available.
