Patient also notes that "Comirnaty" was "one hell of a word." Patient states she got the Pfizer COVID shot in October. It was her 5th shot she states. Patient would like to know if we have heard of other callers with reactions pertaining to the hair and nails. Patient states she had a reaction to the product, 2nd reaction out of 5 total shots and she notes that she was still alive to talk about it and not worried about it." Patient would like to know if there was anything in that "combination" that you manufacturer that can make you hair fall out or make your nails break, real thin, they don't want to stand up, all of a sudden. Patient also states she "wakes up in the am with hair in her mouth" and was wondering if has anything to do with the shot.

Transferring Agent stated, "I have a consumer on the line. She was calling in regards to the Pfizer COVID-19 Vaccine booster dose. She stated that she got the product in October and she is stating that this was her second reaction out of the 5 shots (Further clarifications unknown hence event captured as per verbatim). Her hair was falling out. Her nails are really thin, do not want to stand up and she wakes up in the morning with hair come out. That was all the information I have." When paraphrased the concern: Consumer stated, "No, that was a little dramatized. I had an allergy right after I had this shot. That is the second one I had the fever and chills and all that stuff for a couple of days and I had a 102 fever. That is the came and went that is over. Patient was just saying now, what I am curious about knowing about her hair was turning out so thin and my nails are falling up they are not falling up but they are very thin. Is that a reaction to the medication or is that of old age. Consumer was informed that the query has been addressed by the previous department Pfizer Medical Information department.
