It was reported that the agent relayed she had a caller on the line reporting her experience with second booster dose of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine and knew couples that had the same experience as she had. Agent relayed it was given on Monday and yesterday her husband had a sore arm, and she was in bed all day, she felt like she had the flu or something. Agent relayed the caller mentioned that that was not unusual as it happened with a couple of her friends. Agent relayed the callers husband weighed 210 pounds and the caller was 126 pounds. Agent stated the caller provided weights as she had a question about why the dose for the Pfizer COVID 19 vaccine was not adjusted for weight and that she addressed that. Agent relayed the caller mentioned that her symptoms were much worse outcome than her husband. Agent relayed the caller stated they are both 75-year-old and in relatively good health for 75. The Caller stated her husband did not even have any reaction other than the sore arm and she read online that a reaction means it was working and it was a good thing, and she was wondering did that mean he need another booster. Caller stated her and her husband both got the same injection, the guy pulled it up withheld and they did not report their weight. Caller stated when she said her husbands arm is sore, it was no worse than a flu shot and was not out of the ordinary. Caller stated they got their other doses at their doctor office, but they do not do them anymore. Caller declined to report for her husband or her friends. Caller asked if the dose for the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine was adjusted for weight, and if not, why were not they "because other prescriptions and med tend to be somewhat adjusted for weight". Caller was concerned and "felt like she had much worse outcome than her husband is because caller is very much smaller than him". Caller also added that "her husband is twice her size" and it "doesn't make sense that they both received the same dosage". Caller complained on why there was no dosage adjusted based on age for the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine. Caller stated that it did not make sense that "her husband who is twice her size would be given the same dose as her". Investigations were not provided.
