A 61-year-old female patient received bnt162b2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, solution for injection, lot: ER8736), via an unspecified route of administration in right arm on 28Apr2021 08:15 (at the age of 61-years-old) as 1 st dose, single for covid-19 immunisation. No prior vaccinations (within 4 weeks). No family medical history relevant to the events. No additional vaccines administered on same date of bnt162b2. Medical history included strong reaction to bee stings, allergies/some nuts, allergies/shellfish, allergies to a sulfa drug, allergies, hives, red flushy skin and itching (noted from all allergies that never had anaphylaxis before but gets hives or red flushy skin and itching from some or all of these). There were no concomitant medications. The patient previously took sulfamethoxazole, trimethoprim (BACTRIM) and experienced allergies. The patient received the first dose of bnt162b2 yesterday (on 28Apr2021 at 08:15) and had a reaction to it. The site of the injection for first dose was fine, nothing around the site. On 28Apr2021, the patient experienced at first had a funny taste in mouth right away (vaccination facility said they had never heard that before; gone momentarily after first dose/went away completely); then itching inside nostril and other mucous membranes (within five minutes of receiving the first dose); by evening face was flush red (coloring part was completely gone away); face was probably a little bit puffy; even today every so often where hair touches face is sensitive and will get itchy again; did have diarrhea a lot when first got home (lasted 15-20 minutes and then it was over); right away had itching on forehead and on back and on shoulder and in other places; whole mucous membrane area down there still feels sensitive or irritated or something. All openings to body are sensitive; continued to have burning feeling in mucous membranes, itching and stinging. Skin was really sensitive, when patient felt warm if pushed up sleeves, arm got a little cool and got goosebumps right away. If the patient touches something like the remote, patient felt very cold, skin seemed very sensitive all over. The patient took temperature to see if had a fever, temperature was 98.6, exactly normal, usually runs lower than that but definitely wasn't a fever. The patient left the vaccination facility after half an hour, nothing seemed life threatening. On 29Apr2021, the patient experienced that even today overnight got a few hives on shoulder, back up by shoulder area on one side and noticed the bumps, felt where the bumps were but they are not as big and they were itchy occasionally but not very itchy. (were better now). The events did not require emergency room or physician office visit. The patient stated that it wasn't anaphylactic reaction. The patient have read online that if have a reaction in less than four hours, it was considered severe. The patient was a little concerned when got the shot and was reassured at the vaccination facility that they had not seen anaphylaxis. The patient was wondering if it was okay to get the second dose or should the caller hold off. The patient asked if her symptoms were categorized as a severe allergic reaction (in 2021) and thereby contraindicate her from getting her second dose.
