There was no Investigation assessment. The Reporter was calling about the Pfizer vaccine she took the first one 3 weeks ago and she did really good. She got the second one, she took that on Thursday and she wanted to report that on 18Feb2021, she had a headache, muscle pain, joint pain, the one she most noticed was at her lymph nodes under her throat were swollen, the one on the left still was swollen, the one on the right went down a little, she can still feel them, the one on the left she can still feel but the one on the right went down a little bit. She said right after she felt it and she was like oh, she was too tired to get up to check the paper to see if it was on the paper, she said she thought it was on there. She called the previous day and could not get through, but she got in today and she wanted to let them know what happened and she appreciates getting the shot she does not care what she gets as long as she was okay with shot. She was at the (name). She went to the (name) for her shot but they had switched her over for that. She would be 69 in May. she got the second dose on Thursday, 18Feb2021. She said that the headache was right after shot that night, she was going through the evening she did not expect that because she doesn't have headaches. She confirms the headaches started the same day. The muscle pain and joint pain started the same day. She said everything started the same day as the second dose of the vaccine. The aches and pains have recovered now her lymph nodes are still there on the left more than the right, they were pretty swollen on both side. The right went down, the other one is going down but she still feels that one. She would say the lymph node swelling was ongoing but improved. The headaches have recovered completely. It was reported that she has taken a COVID test many times. It was last year she had gone to the store, she wore her mask but her niece didn't. She told her doctor she lost her taste and smell and it stayed gone up until that first shot and then everything began to come back and she was happy. Everyone was saying how do you feel some, she knows some of her friends and family had problems but she got her taste and smell back. Then she went Friday or it may have been Thursday and she took the second one and all of it disappeared again and she called her doctor and she said what happened and she said she lost it again. She did not have the COVID, she had been tested a couple times, the symptoms came and never really went away until that first dose and then boom it came back and then now, she can't taste or smell after the second shot on 18Feb2021. She clarified that she has not been tested for COVID since it the taste and smell came back, she will see at her doctors appointment next month, what was going on. The second dose looks like EN or it could be another EL but looks like EN6198 and that was the 18Feb2021. it says Pfizer and then EN6198 it is either an N or L or 7 she knows it has to be another letter, she just can't make it out for sure. She does not see any expiration dates or NDC numbers. She clarified and confirmed that it was actually Thursday 18Feb2021 that she was given the second dose. She says they may give that information downtown at the convention center but not where she went, they did not even give her a mask, she still loves them though, she has her own mask. She was the first out of her mom's 12 children to get her shots. She was going to ask for ENT because she doesn't like this. She thought that the second shot was going to make her whole again but anyway they will figure it out.
