Symptom narrative

Patient received Capvaxive and Comirnaty on 9/18/25 both in the right arm. He presented to the pharmacy today saying on 9/19/25 he started to develop dark bruising and blood pooling underneath skin. He had a large area near injection site of bruising and blood underneath skin but also had another large area just below his elbow. It appeared to be some sort of vasculitis reaction. The reaction was pretty extensive throughout his arm. I asked about any other symptoms he was having and he originally said no but after questioning did say he has felt a little dizzy. I looked at patient's other arm and no reaction. I asked if he was ever told about having a clotting disorder and he said no. He said he thinks the reaction is improving. I told him I highly recommend he call his PCP today and follow up with them. I also called his PCP myself to let them know. I spoke to a receptionist and let her know all the details. Patient had received only pfizer vaccines in the past and this was his 7th covid pfizer vaccine
