PATIENT CALLED US ON 2/25/25 TO LET US KNOW THAT SHE HAD A REACTION TO THE VACCINE GIVEN TO HER ON HER RIGHT ARM. THE VACCINE WAS CAPVAXIVE. SHE RECEIVED THE VACCINE ON 02/20/25 AND HAD INJECTION SITE REACTION TO THAT VACCINE AND THE AREXVY ON THE LEFT ARM AS WELL. ON 2/21/25 SHE NOTICED THAT SHE HAD REDNESS, RASH, WARMTH AND BURNING THAT REACHED PAST THE INJECTION SITE. PATIENT SAYS THAT IT IS COVERING FROM HER SHOULDER TO ELBOW. SHE SAYS THAT IT FEELS SIMILAR TO THE FEELING OF HAVING A SHINGLES VIRUS INFECTION. SHE HAS NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH SHINGLES BUT I TOLD HER TO FOLLOW UP WITH HER PRIMARY DOCTOR TO GET A DIAGNOSIS IF NESSESARY. SHE HAS NOTICED THAT THE ITCHING AND SWELLING ARE NO LONGER SPREADING AND IS LOCALIZED TO THE SHOULDER TO ELBOW AREA. SHE HAS TRIED TO APPLY BENADRYL CREAM WHICH SEEMS TO HAVE HELPED A LITTLE BIT BUT IS STILL EXPERIENCING DISCOMFORT. I LET HER KNOW SHE MAY ALSO TRY CORTISONE CREAM AND ANTIHISTAMINES. SHE SAID SHE IS UNABLE TO USE ANTIHISTAMINES BECAUSE SHE DOESN'T REACT WELL TO THEM. I TOLD HER SHE CAN ALSO ICE THE AREA TO HELP WITH THE IRRITATION. SHE IS GOING TO SET UP A FOLLOW UP WITH HER DOCTOR TO GET AN EVALUATION.
