Tetanus shot received in 2000: rash with blisters. The doctor insisted that she get it because she hadn't had one since she was 18. She knows that sometimes they put the DT in that also, but she doesn't know if it had that. Clarified DT as Diphtheria/Typhoid. States that she noticed that the Prevnar 20 sheet said may also have a reaction if reacted to Typhoid. She does not have the manufacturer name, Lot/NDC/Expiry to provide.

Product is in a Pharmacy bottle, so no Manufacturer name, Lot/NDC/Expiry to provide. Aspirin: Indication as reported is Doctor told her to take it. Clinical courses: The patient recently took, about 5 weeks ago, Prevnar 20, and the patient had a severe reaction to that, her arm broke out where the shot was administered to almost her elbow, and it was a rash, she didn't have any problem with breathing or any of that. She is a 75-year-old female. She tested positive for COVID. She waited awhile to tell anyone about the rash from the Prevnar 20 because she doesn't like to bother people, but she did go by the drug store and the Pharmacist said that he was going to report it. She also called her doctor's office to let them know so they didn't give it to her again. The Prevnar 20 wasn't prescribed by her doctor, her and her husband went to get it on their own because they are both diabetic. AEs did not require a visit to Emergency Room or Physician Office. As for the Itchy rash: She still has a hint of the pattern where the rash was on her arm. At first it was itchy so she was taking children's Benadryl, took half a dose twice a day as recommended by the Pharmacist. States that she is still taking it but only at bedtime because she can still see the hint of pink on her arm, but it doesn't itch anymore. As for Covid-19: She has allergies anyway, so she noticed when she went by the construction site in town she would smell the sawdust and got a runny nose. She just thought she had a sinus infection. The only reason she took the home COVID test was because they were meeting someone tonight that is supposed to be going out of town and didn't want to jeopardize their trip. She doesn't remember when the symptoms first started because she just thought it was her allergies, but she tested positive for Covid on 12Dec2022. Her nose is not as runny as it was, but she doesn't know if it's from the allergens out side or what.
