Patient received her first dose of the Covid vaccine without a problem. She was reading a magazine in a chair while waiting for me (her mother) to have the second dose in the same room. About 5 to 10 minutes has passed since patient had received her injection. I looked over at patient, her eyes had rolled back and she had slumped in her chair. I ran over to her - her face was very red and she did not appear to be breathing. Her eyes were open but were not focused. I sat her up as straight as I could while the technician who administered the vaccine ran for the pharmacist. This took a few minutes. By the time the pharmacist arrived patient was gaining consciousness but began throwing up (although mainly dry retching). Her face had gone pale. The pharmacist was very helpful - she gave patient some Coke to drink and took her blood pressure, which was low. After 30 minutes of observation we were allowed to leave. The event was very frightening. Patient was very pale for the rest of the day. She had a severe pain in her left arm (and leg) which gradually improved over the next three days. We are very worried about her taking the second dose of the vaccine.

Friday, 5/21 around 11:55 she received her first dose. 20 minutes later she complained that it felt like someone punched her in the face, and her left cheek was swelling. She looked woozy, with her eyes closing, and the nurses laid her down on the floor on a mat. Her tongue and throat began swelling, and she was having extreme difficulty breathing. She then could not feel anything from her neck down, like she was paralyzed. The nurse administered an Epipen and EMS showed up minutes later. In the ambulance, EMS administered another Epipen, gave her a steroid and Benadryl and rushed her to the hospital. Once at the ER, she was still having a hard time breathing, and could not feel anything from the waist down and could not move her legs. She also complained about her spine being in extreme pain around the mid to lower back. When her symptoms did not resolve, she was admitted to the hospital for observation and treatment. She had extreme pain in her joints - spine, hips, knees, ankles and toes, if someone tried to move them, she could not move on her own. She also had tingling and numbness that would travel up and down her body - weakness in her arms and legs. The medical staff continued with Bendryl - switched to Adderax, and Motrin and steroids (Prednisone?). She was discharged from the hospital Sunday, 5/23/21 in the afternoon. This morning (Monday 5/24/21) she is still experiencing back and leg pain, weakness and cannot walk with out assistance and it is extremely painful.

The day after my daughter received her vaccine, she began to feel congested and tired. This was on Sunday, May 23. We got up for school on Monday, May 24, but she was complaining about a really bad sore throat. The school nurse called and I picked her up from school because she was also getting more congested. She began to cough and sneeze constantly and took a long nap. When she woke, she was saying that she was getting short of breath and it felt like her heart was racing, even though she was just sitting. The next day her throat felt better, but the congestion was the same - still coughing and sneezing but her shortness of breath started getting more obvious. I emailed her pediatrician to ask about bringing her in, and they said to report this to the CDC and bring her if if she's not better in the next few days. Today is Wednesday, May 26 and she is still congested, short of breath and overall feels lousy. She is coughing up lots of mucus - greenish and thick. Yuck. I just gave her one pill of a mucus reducer to see if that would help. My biggest worry is about the shortness of breath because that is exactly what I experienced after my first dose of the vaccine. Mine was Moderna and I have seen dr's about it - and actually ended up in the hospital, but they do not believe it to be connected to the vaccine. I will contact them and let them know about my daughter's shortness of breath and perhaps they will think differently. Oh, she's had a slight fever of 99 F on occasions during this.

A 13-year-old female patient received BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, Solution for injection), intramuscularly on 13May2021 (Batch/Lot Number: EW0179) as the 1st dose, single for COVID-19 immunization. The facility where the most recent COVID-19 vaccine was administered was the public health department. The patient's medical history was not reported. Concomitant medication included fexofenadine hydrochloride (ALLEGRA) taken for an unspecified indication, start and stop date were not reported. The patient did not receive any other vaccines within 4 weeks prior to the COVID vaccine. Prior to vaccination, the patient was not diagnosed with COVID-19.

The patient experienced feelings of throat closing 10 minutes after vaccine on 13May2021 at 11:45. The adverse event (AE) did result in a doctor or other healthcare professional office/clinic visit.

Diphenhydramine (BENADRYL) was administered. Symptoms resolved within 2 hours. The patient recovered from the event on 13May2021.; Sender's Comments: Based on chronological connection to the vaccine and known the potential for severe allergic reactions after vaccination, a causal relationship between event "throat felt like it was closing 5-10 minutes after administration" and BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE) cannot be excluded.

This progressed over the next several hours to the next morning to include swelling of the face and neck, tightness of the throat and chest, and progression of the rash to involve all of the arms, chest, and legs. The rash was a fine maculopapular rash that was itchy. Over the next 3 days the symptoms did not progress further, but they also did not subside.

She called her neighbor who took her pulse and it was in the 130s. She then transferred her to another Hospital for further care at hospital her vital sinus evaluation was a temperature of 37.4 pulse 119 respiratory rate is 15 blood pressure 106/62 satting 98% on room air. On exam she was well appearing with tenderness to palpation of sternum heart rate normal rate and rhythm lungs clear bilaterally and abdominal exam benign. they obtain CBC with white count of 4.8 hemoglobin 12.9 Camm that was unremarkable LFTs are within normal limits troponin that was negative BNP 223 with a normal upper limit of 125 ESR 2 D-dimer 0.697 with upper limit of normal 0.5 and a CRP of 9 with upper limit of normal of 8.1. UA bland. She was given Toradol for chest pain EKG with sinus tachycardia . She was given 1/2 L normal saline bolus ondansetron Toradol and started on maintenance IV fluids of D5 NS. She was then transferred to another hospital for further care . Upon arrival here she notes improvement in her energy level and all of her pain except for her chest pain. She describes it as a pressure on top of her chest that is right in the center and is worse with movement and deep breaths. Of note she had a appendectomy a few years ago that was complicated by surgeons making the bowel and then required her to have a bowel resection. She has no dietary restrictions and eats by mouth, no GI complications in the long-term. PMH: as above PSH: No significant past surgical history FH: Reviewed and noncontributory to current presentation SH: Lives with caregivers Meds: None Allergies: No known drug allergies Immunizations: UTD Review of Systems Constitutional: fever, no chills, no sweats, fatigue Skin: no rash, no lesions, Eye: no redness ENMT: no ear pain, no sore throat, no congestion, no hoarseness Respiratory: + shortness of breath, no cough, no wheezing Cardiovascular: + chest pain, no palpitations, Gastrointestinal: + nausea, no vomiting, no diarrhea, no GI bleeding Genitourinary: no dysuria, no hematuria, Musculoskeletal: + muscle pain, Neurologic: no headache, no dizziness, no numbness, no weakness Psychiatric: no sleeping problems, Allergy/Immunologic: no recurrent infections, Additional ROS info: All other systems of a 10 system review are negative. Briefly, patient is presenting with chest pain, myalgias, and fever in setting of recent covid vaccine (2nd dose Pfizer 2 days ago). Seen at an outside hospital where labs were notable for mildly elevated BNP and D-dimer, negative troponin, normal LFTs and chemistries. Chest x-ray reportedly negative. EKG with T wave inversions in V1 through V4 (read as nonspecific ST changes by their physician), but otherwise normal. Given the possibility of post Covid vaccine myocarditis or PE, transferred for further management. Patient states that after Toradol that she received the outside hospital all of her other symptoms have resolved but she continues to have chest pain. My exam showed: Gen: tired but nontoxic appearing, no acute distress, alert and active; HEENT: PERRL, EOMI, normal conjunctiva, neck supple without LAN; Chest: significant reproducible chest pain; Card: RRR, no murmur, good perfusion, brisk radial pulses bilaterally; Lungs: CTAB, good air entry, no increased WOB; Abd: soft, non-tender, non-distended, no masses; Ext: warm and well perfused, moving all extremities; Skin: no rashes Chest pain. Overall well appearing with normal exam with reproducible tenderness. Given recent Covid vaccine, must consider myocarditis, although only mildly elevated BNP and negative troponin at the outside hospital are reassuring, especially given reproducible pain and reassuring EKG. Symptoms then may represent musculoskeletal etiology such as costochondritis or myositis related to vaccination. Less likely pneumonia or pneumothorax, but possible. Low suspicion for PE given lack of persistent tachycardia (tachycardia improved while in ED, currently HR 80s) or hypoxia. EKG obtained which showed T wave inversions in V1-V4 (normal for age). Bedside ultrasound with normal global function and lack of pericardial effusion. Labs obtained in BCH ED notable for negative BNP and troponin, along with reassuring lipase given abdominal pain. Thus, unlikely to be true myocarditis, more likely musculoskeletal etiology such as costochondritis or chest wall pain. Cardiology will discuss with mom for reassurance. Final Diagnosis 1. Chest pain R07.9 2. Fever R50.9 3. Fatigue R53.83 4. Shortness of breath R06.00 PLEASE NOTE: Since the patient is not from here, we do not have access to her vaccination records and cannot supply lot number, etc.

Around 7PM on June 19th, she had chest pain and chest pressure. She also had a mild headache. She was taking a walk in the neighborhood and had to come home because she was experiencing shortness of breath and having difficulty breathing. She described it as an electric shock/shooting pain in her chest area, on both sides. I took her (the participant) to the ER. While at the ER, she started to feel experience pain and tingling in her left thigh. It would feel better if her leg was elevated. The leg pain subsided by the 20th. On the 21st, she was taken back to the ER because the chest pain and shortness of breath was not subsiding. They did another EKG which showed no abnormalities. Blood work came back with the same indication of virus/inflammation. They gave her a pain med (not sure of the exact name, but it is used for patients after surgery) and an IV. Also given a prescription for 27ml of ibuprofen with Tylenol in between. Two days later, on the 23rd, she had an appointment with the pediatrician. The doctor checked muscle tone and listened to her chest. My daughter gets fatigued by going up a single flight of stairs. Doctor referred her to a pediatric cardiologist. Later that night of the 23rd, she began to get a tingling sensation in her left arm that went down to her hands and lightheadedness. She was not able to move and had to lay down. Being upright made the pressure in her chest worse and she had to take shallow breaths. I took her to the ER. They did a chest x-ray that showed no abnormalities. Referred her for an echo cardiogram on the 24th. She was doing better after that until July 5th, when the pressure and pain started getting worse again. I took her to the pediatrician again and they referred her to rheumatologist on the 11th of July. The rheumatologist prescribed a steroid medication to calm her immune system. She said her immune system was activated and was inflamed, which is why she was experiencing the shortness of breath and pain. She prescribed her colchicine and Aleve. Since she has started to take the meds, she is doing better but she is still experiencing pressure at a lesser level. The pain is the same level that feels like static shock.

The problem with her vision and the tinnitus continued as she walked through our house to a couch where she laid down. The vision problem and tinnitus continued while she laid on the couch. Her breathing was rapid but she thinks this may have been due to the stress caused by her other symptoms. This episode lasted for several minutes and then the vision problem resolved. The tinnitus continued for several minutes after the vision problem resolved. The intensity of the tinnitus slowly decreased until it finally stopped. The following evening, she experienced tinnitus for a few minutes but it was less intense than it was the previous evening. She very rarely has experienced tinnitus in the past.

The mother stated that her daughter took the vaccine, she was 15, she was aware of the normal side effect problems and heart problems as she has been hearing in the news, she was concerned because she just figured out her daughter has been vaping without her parents knowing. The mother stated that she was a family therapist, and many teens vape age 12-15, parents don't have a clue about vaping and the chemicals in the vape that can cause heart and lung problems. She was contacting Pfizer because she wants to make sure this was in the radar, because of side effects. They should consider asking these types of things prior to administering the product. The mother was concerned watching her daughters breathing reaction. Her daughter was better today. The mother was reading side effects on vaping and there was some link to heart and lung issues, some even have lead in the chemicals or nicotine. The mother stated that she has also realized, in general when people ask if they are taking medications, especially for women they don't say anything about taking pills, or combination of pills. Her daughter experienced a Breathing reaction after the first dose. She was better today, she took the shot on Sunday, she was tired and coughing on an unspecified date but was better now. Her main concern was the age group and the Heart problems for this group. Her First Dose was on 23May2021, she was worse yesterday but today she was better. The breathing reaction started on the 23rd. Yesterday her daughter was in bed all day. Her daughter has made no physician office visit or went to the emergency room because of this. Treatment: Not to her knowledge, Unknown for breathing reaction. The mother again stated that she just wanted to express he concerns with this age group. The patient was recovering from all events. Information on the Lot/Batch number has been requested.

She couldn't hear, see or speak during the episode. We took her to the emergency room where a chest xray and ekg came back clear.

Patient got her 2nd Pfizer Covid-19 shot at 5:45 PM on Tues 6/8. She had some of the typical side effects the next day- a sore arm, flu-like body aches, a headache and fatigue. In the middle of the night Wed night/Thurs morning at 3AM she woke up with chest pain and difficulty breathing. In her words, her "heart really hurts and it is hurts to breath." I gave her 1 (500 mg ) capsule of Tylenol. This was the first pain reliever she had received post shot. She also applied Frankincense oil over her heart. Patient was unable to go back to sleep for a few hours because it hurt too much. She did finally fall back asleep in the early morning hours. Yesterday (Thursday 6/10) she reported that she was feeling a lot better. Her heart was still a little painful but by today, Friday 6/11, she says she feels fine. When I heard on the news about a number of other children between 12-15 who reported heart pain, I thought we should let you all know. I am a little worried that there might be some kind of long term complication for her heart.

Has signs of myocarditis with pain near her heart and a pressure in her chest with breathing that feels a bit labored with deep breaths, but she isn't experiencing difficulty breathing. She complained of the symptoms on Thursday morning and then we saw on the news that night that this was a newly discovered side effect for younger patients receiving the vaccine. She has not met with the doctor yet because she didn't want to miss final tests at school and the offices were closed for the weekend. However, we have been monitoring her closely and had hoped it would disappear by now, but we will be seeking treatment tomorrow since it has not gotten worse, but it also hasn't improved after 4 days of rest.

About an hour after receiving the 2nd vaccine, she developed a pain in the upper-mid sternal area. She's not had any pain like this in the past. The pain remained constant ever since it started, and there don't appear to be any alleviating factors such as position changes. Deep inspiration makes it worse. The pain radiates at times across the upper chest and down the back. She's had some accompanying nausea. She's also noticed feeling a little short of breath as the day progressed, which is not necessarily related to the pain. She denies any palpitations or dizziness. No near syncope or syncope. The pain remained a maximum intensity of 10/10. She therefore presented to the ER. Diagnostic studies including labs, EKG and a CT pulmonary angiogram were performed. Troponin returned as elevated, but without EKG changes. She was transferred at the time to the Medical Center for admission. Echocardiogram was completed and normal. Vital signs remained normal. Troponin trended down. Pain improved and she was discharged home.

My daughter received her second Pfizer vaccinations at 2:15 pm. At 1230 at night she work up with stabbing chest pain in the center of her chest that lasted three hours. She initially said her felt faint and couldn?t catch her breath as well as initial nausea. Being an advanced healthcare professional, I spent five minutes of asking her questions: did she eat something bad, did she feel like she needed and inhaler, did she need to use the restroom, checked her pulse (100bpm with palpitations), no resolve. We live 5 minutes from hospital where we prefer to go, but my daughter didn?t think she could make the five minute ride there. We went to ER that is around the block from us and it was total chaos. 40 + people in the waiting room to be seen. My daughter was visibly in distress, crying and couldn?t keep still because of the intense chest pain she rated a 10 out of 10. Finally they did a 12 lead EKG. The rolled us to the back of the waiting room. After 15 minutes, I rolled back out to the front desk and no attention to her and her severe chest pain. Finally I announced we were going to hospital. The called back to us? ?Good Luck!? Got pt to hospital and the immediately did EKG, lab work, chest x ray, urinalysis. The chest pain became intermittent then final subsided. The doctors ruled out pneumonia, No PE, EKG WNL, lab work fine. The Doctor stated it was chest wall pain and gave us a NSAID prescription. I talked to my sister who is an nurse works in the vaccination clinics. She said she has had patients who have had bouts of pericarditis and pleurisy after the second shot. That motivated me to google second dose Pfizer reaction in teens. There is a rare side effect of myocarditis in the teen population after the second dose. The publication date was June 4 the day before my daughters reaction. I didn?t thinsk the ER physician was aware of the the possible rare side effect of myocarditis in teens. I was happy with the care we did receive.

About 10 minutes after receiving the Pfizer vaccine patient thought she was having an allergic reaction. She said her throat felt tight and like it was closing and she could not take a deep breath. I told the patient to take sips of water but she said that wasn't helping. Her throat still felt very tight and she couldn't breathe. I gave the patient 1 benadryl 25mg capsule. I continued to ask her to sip water and take deep breaths. After about 10-15 minutes she said she still felt like someone was choking her. I gave her another 25mg benadryl. The entire time the patient's mother was present and consented to provide Benadryl. After 10 more minutes, the patient said she still did not feel well, but did not want an Epi-Pen. Another pharmacist called WellNow (in our parking lot) and they said the patient could go there to be monitored.

A 15-years-old non pregnant female patient received BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 mRNA VACCINE), dose 1 via an unspecified route of administration, administered in Arm Right on 15May2021 16:00 (Batch/Lot Number: EW0182) as single dose for COVID-19 immunisation. Medical history included no other illness. There were no concomitant medications. The patient did not receive any other vaccines within 4 weeks prior to the COVID vaccine and any other medications within 2 weeks of vaccination. Prior to vaccination, the patient was not diagnosed with COVID-19. Since the vaccination, the patient has not been tested for COVID-19. The patient previously received Amoxicillin, Azithromicin, Cefdinir, Gardasil(Pf) and had allergy. The patient had Nausea that does not go away with Gardasil. She also received HPV vaccine previously and experienced nausea and the dizziness for a month. Reporter stated, "she did not have any allergic 'condition' (not clear) but she was allergic, she had always had a rash when she had this Amoxicillin this antibiotic. She was allergic to Penicillin." The patient had the COVID Pfizer Vaccine on 15May2021 and as soon as she had her first dose she started to feel nausea and dizziness and from there 5 days later she had, she felt a terrible headache, 'this heaviness' (not clarified), headache, dizziness, palpitation. The reporter took her to the emergency room, they did all the test and they didn't really see anything in the results. From there she cannot stop to have nausea and dizziness and clogged throat so the reporter had to give allergy medication to her every day. She did have, she never had an allergic reaction to any vaccine but the HPV vaccine (captured as unspecified vaccine in tab) what was similar to what she is experiencing now. She had nausea and the dizziness for a month that she couldn't stay in school and she has this nausea and dizziness and clogged throat she has to run for this allergy medication what normally she never needed. So, she doesn't want to take this second dose and the reporter was wondering if it is Pfizer because she was just like (Height), a (Weight) pounds if because the reporter understand the vaccine is one for everybody, isn't this strong for a kid with that height that weight, that you do not needed the second dose. The patient could not she said she will not because she goes to school and she feel the nausea and dizziness and so. The reporter would like to report it because it maybe Pfizer's that she was thinking that 1 dose would be enough for kids. When asked about the start of experiencing adverse events, the reported stated that "Well the nausea and dizziness, she was a little bit not sure about like headache right after like her we stayed there like half hours because the doctor said to stay there because she has her reaction to which but then we just the reporter felt the nausea and everything was so bright you know, the reporter had the same effect but her went away and the patient after we received she was, the whole day but not too bad, 5 days after then she but she was already with this nausea, dizziness and 5 days after she got the palpitation, bad headache, nausea, dizziness and then I took her to the emergency room." Reporter stated, "No they have improved, the only thing now left is every day she has this nausea, dizziness and then she said about dizziness and then nausea and then clogged throat and then the reporter gave her the 'allergic pill I gave that, to this allergy' (not clarified further) really she gave only 1 tablet a day." Reporter stated, "On 20May2021, they did a blood test, they did urine test, they did a ECG, so the hospital did all and the doctor too, nothing new." The reporter had lab test result on chart, she stated they put on her chart but she also had the copy of the results. Okay, here they put the result is a line on the chart. Okay here they put like linear line lab test complete, she get all the line because here they didn't put results but screen for metabolic and kidney disorder they did, they did an 'urinary tract infection' (not clarified) they have marked in the ECG. Okay you going to ask for specific (incomplete sentence)." The patient had no other illness but reporter need to know what Gardasil and Covid 19 vaccine have in common because the symptoms were very similar. Nausea that does not go away. She asked if it is the preservative or what ingredients. Never had a reaction to any other vaccine. She just wanted to call the Medical Department if she should have the vaccine on Saturday or not.

loss of consciousness; nausea; vomiting; stopped breathing several times for multiple seconds and they described her to be gurgling when her pulse ox went down to 83%; Difficulty breathing; severe Headcahe; This is a spontaneous report received Support from a contactable nurse from Pfizer sponsored program via medical information team. This case pertains to patient 3 of 3. A 15-year-old female patient received bnt162b2 (PFIZER-BIONTEC COVID-19 VACCINE, Solution for injection, Lot Number: ER8727; Expiry Date: 31Jul2021), dose 2 via an unspecified route of administration on 17Jun2021 (at the age of 15-year-old) as a single for COVID-19 immunisation. The patient medical history and concomitant medications were not reported. The patient historical vaccine included bnt162b2 (PFIZER-BIONTEC COVID-19 VACCINE), dose 1 via an unspecified route of administration on an unspecified date as a single for COVID-19 immunisation and had no reaction. On 17Jun2021, after 15 minutes of observation, the patient had a severe headache, difficulty breathing, loss of consciousness and stopped breathing several times for multiple seconds and they described her to be gurgling when her pulse ox went down to 83%. On an unspecified date, the patient also had nausea and vomiting. The patient pulse ox (documented as provided by caller) went down to 83%, she had severe headache, nausea, vomiting and she was unconscious. When she was unconscious was when her pulse ox was 83% and she stopped breathing intermittently for 10 to 12 seconds at a time. Then she started breathing again but was not responsive after she received the epinephrine then her pulse ox steadily rose again but was not responsive. She was like this until EMS took her away. The reporter stated that the most severe case was for this particular patient. She had already been vaccinated and had already gone through the 15 minute observation. All these kids came in a bus together, but this patient was sitting in the vehicle after the observation when the guardian brought her back to the nurses saying that she was complaining of a severe headache and at that point she had difficulty breathing and lost consciousness. The nurses reported that it appeared that she stopped breathing several times for multiple seconds and they described her to be gurgling when her pulse ox went down to 83%. At that time they administered epi (epinephrine) and called EMS. Her pulse ox and her breathing improved after the administration of epi, however she remained unresponsive when she was on the way to the hospital with EMS. The patient was taken to the hospital and she did improve. This was the 2nd dose, she had the 1st dose and did not have a reaction to it. The seriousness of the events severe headache, difficulty breathing, loss of consciousness, stopped breathing several times for multiple seconds and they described her to be gurgling when her pulse ox went down to 83% was reported as medically significant. The reporter stated that it was very serious. This patient reaction was a little more intense than just an anxiety induced reaction. She says with a pulse ox of 83% if they had not intervened then this would of been life threatening. It is medically significant but if they had not intervened then it would have been life threatening especially when you're talking about gurgling and a pulse ox of 83%. The reporter tends to think that with that severe of a reaction, with the pulse ox that low and her being unresponsive, she believes that this was probably a true adverse event. Outcome of the events was reported as unknown. The reported causality for the events severe headache, had difficulty breathing and lost consciousness, stopped breathing several times for multiple seconds and they described her to be gurgling when her pulse ox went down to 83% was reported as related. Information on Lot/Batch number was available. Additional information has been requested.; Sender's Comments: Based on known drug safety profile, there is reasonable possibility of causal association between the events respiratory arrest, loss of consciousness, dyspnea and headache and the suspect drug. The impact of this report on the benefit/risk profile of the Pfizer product is evaluated as part of Pfizer procedures for safety evaluation, including the review and analysis of aggregate data for adverse events. Any safety concern identified as part of this review, as well as any appropriate action in response, will be promptly notified to regulatory authorities, Ethics Committees, and Investigators, as appropriate.
