Bullous Caused by Pfizer covid jab

Wrote loads last night but it disappeared into the ether.

Dad 86 developed Bullous Pemphigoid 3 or 4 days after his 5th Pfizer jab.

Nurse didn't know what it was, gave us some cream, come back in a fortnight.

Got much worse. biggest open sore about an inch and a half diameter so went to University of North Durham A and E. Bullous Pemphigoid was diagnosed and very strong drugs prescribed.

Dad became progressively ill and about 5 weeks after the bullous started he went into a home for crisis care. An apparent kidney infection resulted in doxycycline being halted and bullous flaring up all over his backside.

On 23 December Dad was blue lighted to hospital for what they thought was a kidney infection.

On 27 December the family was called in as they thought he was dying. They treated with thinners for blood clots, on lung intravenous antibiotics for infection/possible sepsis and hydrocortisone steroid, plus maximum oxygen.

Treatment worked and after further recovery in hospital and a brief stay in a community hospital Dad has now gone into a nursing home.

The mortality figures for Bullous Pemphigoid are frightening and the associations with sepsis, cardiovascular disease and neurological problems do not bode well.

Whilst I have yellow carded the covid jab with the MHRA the replies I have received are very disappointing. Additionally Dad's assessment on release from hospital made no reference to Bullous Pemphigoid but to Grade 2 pressure sores.

An early 2022 published Italian study covered 21 patients who developed the very rare Bullous Pemphigoid within a month of receiving a covid jab, of whom 17 had the Pfizer jab. Their Bullous lasted less than 'norma' bullous with 13 showing no bullous symptoms after 3 months, 6 showing signs of recovery and one with stable disease. Nothing is stated about the missing case.

Bullous pemphigoid is not on the yellow card report for covid jabs. Surely it ought to be.

I'm going to report Dad's deterioration to the MHRA but will wait until his return appointment with Dermatology next week.

I would be interested in hearing from others who have suffered Bullous Pemphigoid shortly after receiving covid jabs.
