Symptom narrative

after the injection there is still a big mark there where I had the rash.; red/had a very large part of my arm swelled, red; itchy below the injection; I had a very large part of my arm swelled; This is a spontaneous report received from a Consumer or other non HCP. A patient (age and gender not provided) received BNT162b2 omicron (lp.8.1) (COMIRNATY (2025-2026 FORMULA)), as dose 1, single (Batch/Lot number: unknown) for covid-19 immunisation. The patient's relevant medical history and concomitant medications were not reported. The following information was reported: PERIPHERAL SWELLING (non-serious), outcome "unknown", described as "I had a very large part of my arm swelled"; SKIN HYPERPIGMENTATION (non-serious), outcome "unknown", described as "after the injection there is still a big mark there where I had the rash."; ERYTHEMA (non-serious), outcome "unknown", described as "red/had a very large part of my arm swelled, red"; PRURITUS (non-serious), outcome "unknown", described as "itchy below the injection". Additional Information: I asked for Pfizer vaccine when I had the injection. I have never had a reaction before. This time I had a very large part of my arm swelled, red and itchy below the injection. It was very uncomfortable and lasted about 10 days. After almost 3 weeks after the injection there is still a big mark there where I had the rash. Was this normal. I thought that they gave me Medara by mistake as I have seen where this has this type of reaction but they said no. I also had the flu shot that day too. The information on the batch/lot number for BNT162b2 omicron (lp.8.1) will be requested and submitted if and when received.
