10/20/2020 That night I noticed a puffy area under the band aide 10/21/2020 After shower noticed angioedema midway down to bend of arm 10/22/2020 Morning: angioedema progressed to bend of arm; appt. made with NP of my primary?s office. At NP appt, angioedema on left arm measured 5x7, on right arm 1x3 and on chest from armpit to armpit with hives on top. Face had started stinging and itching. Started Pepcid, Claritin, and Prednisone 40mg. 10/23/2020 Facial stinging itch intensified. Went to  Urgent Care there and saw NP. She felt the reaction was due to latex somehow injected during the vaccinations and not a reaction to the vaccines themselves. When she suggested latex as a reason for my severe facial itching, it made since. I have had two episodes in the past twenty years with the facial itching, both due to latex. She increased the Prednisone to 60mg x 3 days and taper, gave a shot of Benadryl, and ordered Benadryl 50mg every 4 hours. 10/25/2020 Facial itching 75% better by my second dose of Benadryl. 10/28/2020 Saw primary, she ordered DepoMedrol 80mg and Decadron 8mg, stop prednisone. 01/18/2021 Saw Dr, dermatologist for repeat patch test to determine what exactly I was allergic to since my patch test and latex allergy diagnosis was from the late 90?s. TRUE patch test applied on this date. Removed on 01/20/2021. 01/22/2021 Saw Dr for the reading of 2+ reaction to both mercaptobenzothiazole and black rubber mix.  I do not believe it was a reaction to the vaccines. Both manufacturers, Sanofi and Pfizer, state no natural rubber latex in their products, however, they don?t say what the syringe plunger?s stopper, or the tip of the prefilled syringe is made from. Mercaptobenzothiazole is not only in natural rubber, but also butyl rubber, nitrile and neoprene. If the plunger stopper and the syringe tip is made from butyl rubber, I believe the mercaptobenzothiazole leached into the vaccine, which caused the severe allergic response I had.

Swelling in hands, pain in many joints throughout body, neck for a number of days. I called my dr. on April 9 and she  told me that although it would be a good choice, she could not give me a steroid pack because I had recently had a dental implant and that would not be good for bone growth.  So, she gave me Tramadol to take at night if needed to sleep  and Doxycycline, if pain continued more days.  It continued for 3 days, but started to feel better on April 11 after having started the doxycycline on April 10.

Patient was given Flublok quadrivalent flu shot. Patient had anaphylactic reaction to moderna shot in April for which an SCRT/Vaers were filled out. The only reason the flu shot was given to the patient is that she said, she has always had  a flu shot with no issues.

We called 911 immediately with patient permission and around 1120 am, while the pharmacist was on the phone with 911, the patient self-administered epipen with the help a technician.

This spontaneous report as received from a licensed nurse practitioner and a healthcare worker refers to an unspecified amount of patients. Concomitant medication and pertinent medical history were not provided. The healthcare worker reported that on unknown dates, unspecified amount of patients were vaccinated with PNEUMOVAX 23 (lot number, dose, route and frequency were not provided) which were improperly stored. The PNEUMOVAX 23 was exposed to a lowest temperature of 32F for a total of 136 hours over 17 days occurring since 01-JAN-2014. The nurse practitioner reported that she was unsure if the PNEUMOVAX 23 had undergone excursions since 01-JAN-2014. She reported that "some" might have undergone multiple excursions and "others" might have undergone no excursions but she was not exactly sure of which ones. No adverse effect reported. This is one of several reports received from the same source. Additional information has been requested.
I received the vaccine at approximately 1:08 pm.  Once administered I was instructed to sit in the auditorium for 15 minutes for observation.  During that time I had a few heartrate increases and nausea but nothing out of the ordinary or concerning.  After the 15 minutes, I walked out to my car and thankfully my husband had driven because what happened next would have caused an accident.  Our drive home is approximately 20 minutes from where vaccine was administered.  In the car I began to feel a tingling all over my body that gradually began to feel like ?pins and needles? (like when you sit on your legs for too long and they ?fall asleep?), with the worst of the feeling being in both of my hands. I began opening and closing my fingers to try and get them to feel normal.  By the time we pulled into the driveway, my hand had locked up in a weird position and I was no longer able to communicate with them and make them move.  They were temporarily paralyzed.  My husband opened the door for me because I wasn?t capable of doing so.  Once I stepped out of the car, my body began to convulse and shake.  We stood there for a few minutes because one, I couldn?t make my body cooperate and two, we didn?t want our children seeing me that way.  My husband kept asking me if he should call an ambulance.  Of course, he should have but I think he was so scared and shocked that he just didn?t know how to react.  I had trouble forming words and sentences at that point and could not tell him to call. I felt pretty calm considering what was happening to me and I could not control myself.  My husband decided to walk away from me and coerce me to go to him.  I stood there for a few minutes trying to communicate with my legs.  Once I took my first step, my body stopped shaking and I started to regain feeling in my hands.  I went and laid down for a bit and began to feel a bit better.  Around 7pm I was feeling extremely cold.  So cold that I put on three layers of clothing and two comforters to try and warm myself.  That did not work though, as it was more of a cold from nerve endings than it was from temperature.  I went to bed around 9pm but didn?t fall asleep until around midnight.  I was feeling waves of cold down my body. Like a skin prickling when you hear a beautiful song and you get goosebumps and your hairs stand up.  I woke around 3am to an extreme headache and a fever of 102.6.  I took Tylenol and went back to bed.  When I woke in the morning, I felt better but had weird and random muscle twitching.  For the past few days I?ve been suffering with extreme fatigue which is not like me at all.  Even when I?m tired, I can still manage to function throughout the day.  Not only have I been tired, my body is weak, my muscles are weak and my joints hurt. I?m hoping this ends soon and doesn?t get any worse. It will be two weeks this Sunday.

I developed a large sore rash at injection site the following day(August 25th) . It burned, itched, and was swollen. I experienced headaches, tightness I my jaw, and excessive burping. I'd go to sleep with headaches, aches in my neck, and accelerated pulse. I sweat the bed that Friday night.  On that Saturday(August 28th), symptoms seemed to be going away.  Around Tuesday(August 31st), the rash became bright red again, the itching and burning returned, and the site is not a raised hard knot. Last night (Friday Sept. 3rd) I felt as though I had a cut on my left hand thumb, but no cut. It now feels like a needle pricking my thumb. This sensation comes and goes.
I experienced the  soreness in my arm after the injection. I attributed that to just the normal soreness one experiences after a vaccination.  As of 6 days later, the pain had still not gone away. I have constant soreness in my upper left arm at the vaccination site. The pain radiates up into my left shoulder. I have lost some range of motion in my shoulder as well. I also experience intense pain if I raise my arm. My shoulder is also prone to pain while I am sleeping. I have awakened many times with my shoulder hurting. The pain is only getting worse. Initially, I thought the situation would resolve shortly. However, I am now 6 weeks post vaccination and my symptoms are only worsening.
