believed the heart rate might be a result of being nervous; Tightness of throat/throat tightness; Laboured breathing; Fast HR/high heart rate; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable nurse, reporting for herself. A female patient of an unspecified age received first dose of BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, solution for injection, lot number and expiry date were not reported), via an unspecified route of administration on 03Jan2021 at a single dose for COVID-19 immunization. Medical history included sensitivity to pollen, sensitivity to narcotics and allergic reactions to perfume, all from unknown dates and unknown if ongoing. There were no concomitant medications. The patient previously received pneumonia vaccine and flu vaccine, both for immunization and experienced pain on the side. The patient also previously took cortisone to lower her immune system. It was reported that on 03Jan2021, the patient developed a slight reaction immediately after first dose of Pfizer Covid vaccine which included tightness of throat along with laboured breathing with fast HR/heart rate was high (she believed it was greater than 80 BPM; her heart rate is usually in the 60's) which resolved after a few minutes. The nurse was going to give her Benadryl but did not as her signs and symptoms were resolving. She was asking for recommendations/clarifications on whether she should get the second dose given her reactions. She never had that type of reaction before. She had had sensitivity to pollen and narcotics. She read that she should not receive the second dose given her reactions but was asking for clarification. She would like to get the second dose and bought an Epi pen. Throat tightness and high heart rate didn't last for more than two minutes maximum. She visited websites and was directed not to get the second dose. She wanted to be 100% certain in regards to whether or not she should receive the second dose. Stated tightness in throat wasn't really that bad. She felt throat tightness previously when smelling perfume. Stated it wasn't anything to be frightened about. She also stated some websites said it does not matter and some websites said not to get the second dose. Also wanted to know if having the Epi Pen would help. She added that she explained reaction to the physician who advised her to get an Epi Pen for the second COVID Vaccine dose. She only had allergic reactions to pollen and perfume. Got the vaccine for Pneumonia and Flu. Did not get adverse reactions, but stated she only had pain on the side. Confirmed she has no NDC/Lot/Exp for the Pneumonia vaccine and Flu vaccine. She also got Coronavirus three months prior to receiving the COVID vaccine. She clarified that she diagnosed herself and it was the weirdest thing. She took cortisone to lower her immune system. Received first dose of COVID Vaccine on 03Jan2021. She wa due for second COVID Vaccine on 26Jan2021. She stated she is a psychologist with specialty in mental health. She believed the heart rate might be a result of being nervous. When she is nervous her heart rate goes up. Tightness of throat made her concerned. When asked about the indication, she stated that her husband works and the right thing to do was to be protected. She read she should have stopped taking Ibuprofen 10 days prior to the COVID Vaccine. She was not taking Ibuprofen any longer. Has no NDC/Lot/Exp for Ibuprofen at time of call. Confirmed she did not use the Epi Pen after the first dose of COVID Vaccine. She bought it for the second dose. The nurse who administered COVID Vaccine to the patient suggested she take Benadryl. By that time, she was feeling better. She stated it was questionable for half an hour. The outcome of the event Tightness of throat/throat tightness and fast HR/high heart rate was recovered on 03Jan2021 while the outcome of all other events was unknown. Information on the batch/lot number has been requested.; Sender's Comments: The patient had medical history included sensitivity to pollen, sensitivity to narcotics and allergic reactions to perfume. The reported events were likely related to first dose of BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE) due to plausible temporal relationship and clinical course. 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.

A 76-year-old female patient received first dose of bnt162b2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, solution for injection, lot: EN6203), via an unspecified route of administration in left arm on 27Feb2021 (at the age of 76years) as single dose for covid-19 immunisation. Medical history included ongoing fibromyalgia diagnosed in 1999; Covid-19 from 23Nov2020 to Dec2020 (went to the hospital because of pain in her side at night. Was told she had pneumonia and pleurisy, she got it 2 days after her husband did, but hers was a mild case); her husband had Covid in Nov2020 and died in Dec2020 and hemorrhoids (from having babies years ago). Concomitant medication included acetylsalicylic acid, caffeine, paracetamol (EXCEDRIN). The patient had no investigation assessment. The patient scheduled her first dose for 27Dec2021. The patient had questions about it, but the person administering it did not speak English and she said that initially she did not have any reactions while she was there. The patient received the first dose of the vaccine on 27Feb2021 and has a lot of adverse events. After the getting the shot, she woke up at 0400 and experienced shaking (whole body was shaking), trembling out of control, hurting from her neck down to her toes, her joints were achy, hurt, and stiff, her teeth were chattering and couldn't stop, and when she tried to stop that it made it worse, when she got up she had hard time walking, so much that when she had diarrhea, she had diarrhea on the floor, she also noticed that the color of the diarrhea looked red and looked like it had blood on it but she was not sure. After that, she sat down in a chair and noticed that it had blood when she got up and suspected that she had hemorrhoids and bleeding because of the diarrhea. She thought it was a result of the reaction to the shot. She noted that that she had COVID on 23Nov2020 and that she heard that people who had COVID might not need to get the second shot but it was only speculation so she was asking if this was true. She mentioned that she waited 90 days before getting the vaccine as per CDC guidelines and knew that the 2nd dose can be given for 42 days after the first dose. The patient's daughter in law who was an occupational therapist volunteered to fly in and take care of her after the second shot on 27Mar2021 but her 2nd shot was due on 20Mar2021 so she wouldn't be there until then. The patient was having a hard time rescheduling her appointment so asked if there was anything can be done. The patient would prefer not to take the second dose due to the side effects. The patient also reported that it looked like someone who had a stroke trying to walk again, her gait was off and she was kind of jerking. As she would take a step her foot would go down on a slant like it was skidding. She said that this happened one other time to her. It was like she was leaning forward and could not stop herself. When she was able to get up, she went into the living room and sat in her husband's chair and fell asleep until 15:00. When she got up, she noticed a lot of blood in the chair. The patient asked if this was allowed. She went home and took a couple of acetylsalicylic acid, caffeine, paracetamol because she did not have paracetamol (Tylenol), and she went to sleep. She had a hard time rolling and trying to get out of bed. She turned on her electric blankety and her heat. She said that by 0600 most of the shaking had gone away. She felt a little nausea, but got some dry toast. She said that she wanted to take a shower, but she started getting diarrhea from the injection. She fell in the bathroom and could not get herself up for over an hour because she was too weak. When she fell on the floor, she tried to get on a rug because she was still having the diarrhea on the floor. She said that it was everywhere. The next day she called her son and his wife they said that she could be alone for her second shot. She was scheduled for 20Mar2021 for her second dose. The patient had a hard time changing the appointment and her son could not come to stay with her until 27Mar2021. A friend told the patient that on the news it said that a second shot may not be necessary for people who have had Covid-19 already and she wanted to know if Pfizer has heard of this. The patient said that she was kind of wiped out for a couple of days (in 2021) and it was all over now. The doctor's office was aware of what happened and she was told to take extra strength Tylenol before and after the second injection to address these symptoms. The consumer considered the case as non-serious. The outcome of the event fatigue was recovered in 2021 while for the remaining events was unknown.

A 76-year-old female patient received BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE), dose 1 via an unspecified route of administration, administered in Right Arm on 02Mar2021 14:26 (Batch/Lot Number: EN619G) as single dose for vaccination. Medical history included joint replacements (specified as 1 hip done in 2007; right knee done in Jan2013; another knee was done in Feb2017; another knee was done in 1986); and in 2011, neck fracture. There were no concomitant medications. The patient had the 1st dose of the PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE and on 02Mar2021, she had sore on the injection site, experienced excess saliva production. On 05Mar2021, she experienced chills, feeling of heart attack: left arm pain, jaw pain, facial pain. She is worried to take the 2nd shot as she might have more symptoms on the 2nd dose. On an unspecified date, the patient had lower back, hips, knees, neck pain, eye socket hurts when rolling her eyes, sore stomach, and exhausted. It was also reported as follows: on 02Mar2021 after she got home from being administered the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine she had quite a bit of saliva in her mouth, it filled up quite a lot; and a bit of a sore arm for a couple of days but that was about it at that point. On Friday, 05Mar2021 she started getting chills and aches; and felt like she was having a heart attack: her left arm hurt and her left side of face hurt down in her jaw. She was afraid and considered going to the hospital but thought she was going to wait it out see what it is and it passed. She then once again got a lot of saliva in her mouth again. Over the next few days she developed aches that were primarily located in her joint replacements, it seemed like the aches attacked those areas of joint replacements in her hips, knees and where she had a neck fracture. She had a lot of pain and a lot of chills. She was never bedridden, but would lay down because she was exhausted. Her back hurt a tremendous amount. Another thing that happened is her eyes, when she would go to move her eyes left or right or up or down it seemed like her eye sockets just hurt to move her eyes; she did not have a headache; this whole indentation there with her eyes hurt to move them from one side to another. She also had a very sore, uncomfortable stomach; it was not an upset stomach; just seemed very sore, uncomfortable. At first that first part of 05Mar2021 she seemed a bit congested. She is very worried about second dose of Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine because of the first dose creating all of these difficulties. She does not know what she should be doing. She is scheduled to get her second dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine on 24Mar2021 because she is leaving by plane on 29Mar2021. That only gives her like 4-5 days before she leaves and she knows that the other symptoms after the first dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine did not start until 3 days later. She is concerned about that, because she is flying to take care of her sister; she is worried about the second dose because she does not like what she experienced with the first dose because she heard that the second dose will be terrible; she is worried about leaving and experiencing those horrible things. She reported that there are no tests/investigations relative to this report to provide. The only thing recently done was having X-rays of her neck on 24Feb2021 because of her neck issues with the fractured neck she had in 2011. Outcome of the events was unknown.

Her legs got weak; she lost coordination; anxiety was exacerbated by her terrible fatigue; depression was exacerbated by her terrible fatigue; nervousness was exacerbated by her terrible fatigue; nervousness was exacerbated by her terrible fatigue; She noticed that her blood pressure raised after receiving the first dose of the covid vaccine.; Total exhaustion/she is so tired; could not sleep; She experienced pain at the injection site./Her pain got worse and worse; left or right toe will get stuck; hysterical; she is stressed; did not have complete energy; She states that her illness is too much; This is a spontaneous report from a Pfizer sponsored program received from a contactable healthcare professional (patient). A 76-year-old female patient received bnt162b2 (BNT162B2 reported as PFIZER COVID-19 VACCINE), dose 1 intramuscularly administered in the right deltoid on 30Mar2021 10:00 (Lot number: GR8732 or 6R8732 [as reported]; Expiration Date: 31Jul2021) as a single dose for covid-19 immunisation. Medical history included blood pressure/hypertension; had breast cancer twice with the last time was in 2010 to unknown date which was 23 years later than the first time she had it (1987). She had infiltrating ductal cancer, stage one, that was HER-2 positive. She states that this is the most malignant breast cancer. She had to have extensive chemotherapy and also took Herceptin every 3 weeks for a year. The overriding symptom from her cancer was extreme fatigue; has been in chronic fatigue syndrome and in bed for 7 years, she was getting over chemo and she can barely walk. She has trouble walking long distances; had a mastectomy from 2010 to an unknown date without lymph node dissection; had a central node dissection; took a wheelchair to the hospital whenever she received the first dose of the covid vaccine; ongoing anxiety, depression and nervousness which is not new to her. She has had this on and off for the past year; and antihistamine that raises her blood pressure dangerously, it does not matter which kind of antihistamine whether it is Benadryl or over the counter. The only antihistamine that does not raise her blood pressure was a children's allergy medication. She took half of a children's dose. It did not raise her blood pressure, but it did not stop her itching. Family history included her mother's sister and she are very sensitive to medications. She has the same type of problems. As her mother's sister has aged, her problems have gotten better. As caller gets older, her problems are getting worse. Concomitant medication included carvedilol taken for blood pressure on unknown therapy dates. The patient previously took dupilumab (DUPIXENT) for skin conditions that having itching which she had side effects (Lot number: 0LU23A; Expiration date: Feb2023). Dupixent is a medication used for skin conditions that having itching, not cirrhosis, she cannot remember the name of the skin condition. Her skin started itching around Jun2020 or Jul2020. She saw eight different dermatologists. She found a doctor who was an itch specialist. Dupixent is the only thing that is going to work for her because antihistamines raise her blood pressure dangerously; and one time her doctor made a mistake, he ordered her hydroxyzine 25mg PO (Per oral). The doctor did not look on her chart to see her allergy list. She cut the pill in half and took half a dose. By the time she realized what she took, she was having so much itching. She woke up and felt like her head was going to explode and her blood pressure was 220/112. She took three tablets of her antihypertensive medication. She taken carvedilol 3.125mg. She did not even bother going to the hospital because by the time they would have saw her, and treated her, she could have had a stroke. The hospital is slow to treat people. Because she is a nurse practitioner, she knew that 3 tablets would be the correct dose for how high (Apr2021) her blood pressure was. She also previously took Benadryl but that raises her blood pressure dangerously. The patient reported that she received her first dose of the covid vaccine on 30Mar2021 and she had many side effects. She reported that the most predominant symptom is total exhaustion. For the first seven days after receiving the first dose of the covid vaccine, she was in bed for seven days nonstop. She placed a large grocery shopping order. She was able to get up and use the bathroom and cook small meals. She had someone come in to help her with the dishes, and to clean up the house. She talked to her internist of 20 years, and he told her to take the vaccine. Within five minutes, she started getting side effects. She inquired if it was safe to take the second dose of the covid vaccine. She has been so fatigued that she has been in bed for a 3 weeks-time frame and then her Blood pressure went up, it was 200 something, like 223/103. She went to the ER, and the ER said her blood pressure was not bad (Apr2021), they put her in the waiting room, and because she waited so long, she just got up and left the ER. Since she is so tired and her Blood pressure is high, she has made an appointment with the doctor. She added that the second week after receiving the first dose of the covid vaccine, she was able to get up every other day and go somewhere but the next day after she went somewhere, she was in bed all day and did not have complete energy (2021). She added that her refrigerator was going out, so someone drove her to department store 30 minutes away. She walked from the car, to the refrigerator section in department store, walked into the mall to get ice cream and then walked back to the car. By the time she got home, she immediately got back in her bed because she was so worn out. That was on Saturday. She was in bed all day yesterday. This morning, she feels better than yesterday. She thought about going to the store yesterday, but she knew she did not have the energy to go. Someone is coming later today to help her, and they will have to go to the store for her since she does not have any family nearby. She mentioned that the total exhaustion began on 31Mar2021. She took a wheelchair to the hospital whenever she received the first dose of the covid vaccine. She has trouble walking long distances. She called the hospital before she went, and the hospital did not have any wheelchairs she could use. The hospital cleared everything out of the way so they could fit the most patients as possible in the building. She had trouble walking the day that she received her first dose of the covid vaccine. Someone wheeled her in and out using her own wheelchair. She cannot go to the grocery store. Using a wheelchair is the only way she could have in and out. She could walk from her wheelchair into the examination room, and then after she went right back into her wheelchair. She is glad that she called because she does not know what she would have done without a wheelchair. It is hard for her to go on, sometimes she just feels like crying. Her trouble walking does not feel 100 percent, but it has gotten better. She is anxious, depressed and nervous also. Before her breast cancer, she had chronic fatigue. She could volunteer at a clinic for a few hours a week. She had radiation, and that caused exacerbation of her chronic fatigue. Her doctor told her that for some people, chemotherapy will make chronic fatigue better and that chemotherapy could help her chronic fatigue. Before she got chronic fatigue syndrome, she had a lot of energy. She used to work in an ICU that had 15 patients, with ambulatory patients on the outside. She worked six days a week then she transferred to a hospital where she took care of patients after they had open heart surgery. She used to be a very high energy person. Her exhaustion has gotten better, because she can get up every other day and leave the house. She cannot stop doing life. It is difficult for her that she cannot go to the grocery store. After seven days, she could go out every other day. Whenever she went to a certain company, she almost fell. Her legs got weak and she lost coordination on Tuesday (06Apr2021). Since then, it has happened a little bit here and there. It is almost like she is not sure when it will happen. In an instance, she can be working in the house, and her left or right toe will get stuck. This happens to her occasionally after chemotherapy. She noticed that her blood pressure raised after receiving the first dose of the covid vaccine (Apr2021) and she takes medication (small dose of carvedilol) for hypertension. She takes her blood pressure medication every other day. Out of the past four days, her blood pressure has been elevated twice (Apr2021). If her blood pressure is elevated more than normal, her doctor prescribed for her to take an extra dose. Her blood pressure has not been elevated dramatically. She did take an extra dose of carvedilol because her blood pressure was within the scope of her blood pressure expertise. She went to the ER and the ER said her blood pressure was not bad (Apr2021), they put her in the waiting room and because she waited so long she just got up and left the ER. Since she is so tired and her Blood pressure is high, she has made an appointment with the doctor. She also stated that her blood pressure went up yesterday last night (18Apr2021), not right after getting the first dose. Last night at 6:00 PM, she took a nap and after she woke up took her blood pressure, she didn't feel anything in specific, she always takes her blood Pressure pill twice a day anyway. When she checked her pressure, it was 223/120 (Apr2021) and immediately took 2 Carvedilol 3.125mg and went to the ER, by the time she got there it was down significantly (Apr2021), but she is anxious and sat there and waited. They said they were going to do some blood work and an EKG but they left her there, so she decided to take a company home. Her Blood pressure has been up, she then went to sleep and after (Apr2021), it was 189/105, 183/105, and 165/95, she is a nervous wreck. She was ill for a long time, she had cancer twice, now she lives alone, she has been alone for all these weeks, her friends are here and there and come over. The Last 3 weeks she has been alone. She hired someone, but it was expensive. Now she feels hysterical (2021), after she saw her blood pressure, last night she was crying, and called the neighbor and they drove her right to the hospital then she was waiting in the ER for so long. She got her first shot on 30Mar2021 and she couldn't do anything in bed for 7 days, she is supposed to get the second shot tomorrow (20Apr2021) but doesn't want to be in bed again like that. She is anxious, depressed and nervous that began on 03Apr2021. During the week, she is distracted by the market. She has not been able to trade, because she does not trust her judgment right now. She did buy one this morning. Anxiety, depression and nervousness is not new to her which she has had this on and off for the past year. She has a lot going on. She needed to sell her two-story house and move to a one-story house that is easily assessable to healthcare and meals. She thinks this is disabling in face that she does not feel strong enough to make a decision. She cannot make a decision and she does not feel good enough too. Her anxiety, depression and nervousness was exacerbated by her terrible fatigue. She is experiencing awful symptoms. She went to the grocery store, and the stumbled and went into a company. She had to carry her milk and other items in slowly, and little by little. She thought this is awful, and she got into bed. She could not do anything. She mentioned that her illness is too much (2021). She was crying and she lives alone. The patient mentioned that the pain at the injection site began four hours after receiving the first dose of the covid vaccine. She received the vaccine at 10:00 AM then started getting really bad pain about 6:00 PM and then about 10:00PM or 11:00PM, it started to get unbearable. By 12:00AM (31Mar2021), the pain was so bad that she could not sleep because of the pain. She was in agony. She took took Tylenol and it did not touch her pain, but her pain got worse and worse, so she took three Tylenol tablets then they worked. She her friend and asked him to come over since she is afraid to take narcotics. She just laid there in bed and spent all night in agony. She tried a thing she put in the freezer and tried heat. She does not remember if either of those worked. The pain resolved about 2 days after. The patient declined safety report, saying that she is stressed and anxious (2021), she just wants to be transferred for her question. The reporter considered the events fatigue aggravated serious and 'anxiety, depression and nervousness was exacerbated by her terrible fatigue' with seriousness criterion of disability while the events blood pressure raised lower extremities weakness of and coordination impaired as medically significant. The outcome of the events fatigue aggravated recovering; as for the events blood pressure raised, 'anxiety, depression and nervousness was exacerbated by her terrible fatigue', lower extremities weakness of and coordination impaired were not recovered; while the event vaccination site pain was recovered on 01Apr2021 (reported as 2 days after). The outcome of the other events was unknown.; Sender's Comments: Based on the information provided, the events fatigue aggravated and 'anxiety, depression and nervousness was exacerbated by her terrible fatigue' with seriousness criterion of disability while the events blood pressure raised lower extremities weakness of and coordination impaired as serious (IME).Based on the plausible temporal association and product safety profile, the reported events are possibly related to the vaccine BNT162B2. administration. This case will be reassessed upon receipt of additional information.

A 76-year-old female patient received the second dose of bnt162b2 (BNT162B2, Solution for injection, Lot Number: EN6207), via an unspecified route of administration, administered in Arm Right on 17Mar2021 13:50 (at 76-years-old) as single dose for COVID-19 immunisation. The vaccine was administered at a hospital. It was not administered at a military facility. Medical history included hip replacement four years ago in 2017 (First right then 2 months later left) and knee replacement six years ago in 2015 (both 2 months apart). There were no concomitant medications. The patient previously received the first dose of bnt162b2 (BNT162B2, Solution for injection, Lot Number: EN6203), administered in Left Arm on 25Feb2021 (at 76-years-old) for COVID-19 immunisation and experienced bad headaches. The patient received the second dose of vaccine on 17Mar2021. On 29Mar2021, she was not hurting and went to brunch with friends. Afterwards (on the same date, 29Mar2021), she was sitting and got the worst pain through her side that ran down her left leg and to her ankle. She drove herself home but was in such misery. She went to the emergency room the next day, on 30Mar2021, wherein she had a CT (computerized tomography) scan that showed a blood clot in her lower abdominal area. She was taking pain medication every 6 hours, or she could hardly stand it. On 08Apr2021, she went back to the emergency room because she could hardly stand it. She was kept in observation status but was not admitted. She was scheduled to have another CT scan on 06May2021. She is not sure what they will do because the nerves are wrapped around it. She also mentioned that her doctor wants to do a biopsy. The pain was also running down to her ankle. She stated that she has had both of her hips replaced in the past. She added that her doctor will do an MRI (magnetic resonance imaging). He will put in a drain if it has not shrunk. The doctor can't do anything because the nerves are all tangled up (2021). As corrective treatment, the patient was taking pain medication for the blood clot and pain through her side that ran down her left leg and to her ankle. Outcome of nerves are all tangled up was unknown, while outcome of the other events was not recovered.

About a week after the vaccine, I started to notice a subtle difference in my heart beat. At night, I could feel my heart beat was a little off. I went to the doctor for something unrelated and was place on EKG that's how the doctor detected my arrythmia. He said I had A-fib and sent me to the ER. The ER confirmed my A-fib with an EKG and prescribed Eliquis, furosemide and potassium. A few days after discharge, I had chest heaviness and couldn't breath. I went to the ER. They did an EKG, CAT scan, blood work which also confirmed A-fib and build up of fluid around my heart, lungs and abdomen. I followed up with a cardiologist office and was to continue with the medications at discharge. I am being followed with a cardiolgist.

A 76-years-old female patient received bnt162b2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, solution for injection), dose 2 via an unspecified route of administration, administered in Arm Right on 30Jan2021 (76-years-old at the time of vaccination), (Batch/Lot Number: EL9265, Expiry date May2021) as DOSE 2, SINGLE for covid-19 immunisation. The patient medical history and concomitant medications were not reported. The patient previously took dose 1 PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, solution for injection dose 1 via an unspecified route of administration, administered in Arm Right on 09Jan2021 12:30(76-years-old at the time of vaccination), (Batch/Lot Number: EL3248; Expiration Date: Apr2021) as DOSE 1, SINGLE for covid-19 immunisation and experienced throat started tightening, Lymph nodes under her jaw were sensitive to the touch, feeling more and more tired, entire body was leaden with lethargy, couldn't do anything, all her joints were aflame, nauseous, pain in muscles, pain in joints, couldn't raise either of her arms, chills, low grade fever of 99.2 degrees Fahrenheit, Fatigue. Patient was dreading getting the second Covid 19 vaccine. One of the questions on the questionnaire she filled out prior to getting her second dose was if she had a severe reaction to any vaccine. She answered yes but no one at the facility asked her about it. She put that she may have had a severe reaction with the first Covid 19 vaccine but no one at the facility questioned it. She put question marks on the questionnaire on that question to indicate she didn't know if she had a severe reaction for sure or not. She did want to have protection against the Covid 19 virus, so she did get the second Covid 19 vaccine. After getting the second Covid 19 vaccine she experienced the same thing going home. Her throat tightened. Her jaw and lymph nodes under her jaw were tender. She was tired but didn't feel the leaden feeling she had with the first Covid 19 vaccine. She was nauseous and had diarrhea. She had muscle pain and joint pain and chills. These symptoms went on for 5 days. She thought she would be ok after the 5 days like she was after her first Covid 19 vaccine dose. On the sixth day she almost passed out in the grocery store. She had to sit on the floor of the grocery store and put her head between her knees. She was dizzy. She was still having the diarrhea, nausea, and chills. It was like having influenza symptoms. She went home that day and got into bed. Then gradually she got better. Maybe around the 9th day after the vaccine she was able to do some things around her house and on the 10th day she was better. Her lymph nodes under her jaw were still swollen. She doesn't know if what she experienced were normal side effects. She found the Pfizer reporting website obtuse. The website indicates there was a time limit to finish a report. She did not file online because she wasn't sure she'd be able to finish in the time limit. She was grateful for protection against the Covid 19 virus and would get the Covid 19 vaccines all over again, but she was not looking forward to getting a Covid 19 vaccine booster. She reported she was very healthy and active. When probed if she had seen her primary care doctor or gone to the emergency department, she reports the hospital was far away. She was living in a rural area in the mountains and did not trust the closest hospital to her. Her doctor friend who was an ophthalmologist told her that her antibodies were really kicking in and that's why she had the reaction to the Covid 19 vaccine like she did. When probing adverse events following any other vaccines, she reports she hasn't had a vaccine since childhood and doesn't remember having any adverse events from her childhood vaccinations. The last vaccine she had prior to the Covid 19 vaccine was the cold vaccine she received in 1992. She'd like to add she also had a rapid heartbeat with the dizziness on the day she almost passed out in the grocery store. That was the sixth day after the second Covid 19 vaccine on 05Feb2021. Her heartbeat was rapid for about a week after starting on 05Feb2021. The clinical outcome of the events lymph nodes under jaw still swollen was not recovered, remaining all events was unknown. No Follow up attempts are possible: No Further information is excepted.

March 12, 2021 - On Friday about 2pm, I started with a runny nose ? by Sunday afternoon it was like a faucet turned on ? running down my face. March 13 - Saturday morning, I started coughing c chest congestion, and had Phlegm rattling in my chest, started sneezing very frequently/ some diarrhea. Otherwise, I felt fine. March 14 - Sunday morning, I started wheezing slightly, coughing more and sneezing frequently. Felt fine. Went shopping. Nose ran so much in store, had to run to the store to get paper towels to catch it. Later, when I carried a heavy bag of groceries from one car 12 feet to another, noticed I was very exhausted and had to rest about 15 minutes before driving home. Wheezing more. Monday, March 15, I took my B/P meds at 1:00am and my blood pressure was way up x 4 (160?s/ 70?s) p58-64, at 2:08am ? B/P was 183/92) so I took my PRN Clonidine and ate all the high Potassium foods I had in the house. By 3:40am my B/P was 120/66 but went back up later with coughing. I felt fine but tired. A little after 4am, I carried a bag of apples and a bag of oranges up my stairs and was totally exhausted ? I felt the energy draining out of me, and so was out of breath I dropped the bags on the floor and sat hyperventilating to get enough air in my lungs until I could breathe normally ? for 40 minutes - it felt like fluid building in my lungs. I started massaging my abdomen like crazy and coughing until it subsided ? considering whether I should go to E.R. My breathing did get some better But I sure did not exert myself. Just picking up my computer was taking my energy. Still coughing and getting rid of some phlegm. This was very scary and I was on the verge of going to the E.R. at 4:45am - I called the E.R. who said I probably could wait for a urgent care to open or talk to Dr.?s office. My breathing was some better. By 6:10am I was so tired I fell asleep. At 10am my B/P was 138/77 p53. Still very weak, coughing, wheezing, and trying to get rid of phlegm. I had no other symptoms. I called my Dr. who got me in a urgent care in her building at 3pm. That evening I started Postural Drainage which helped in getting rid of the phlegm. I have continued that still. March 16 ? I ?chatted? my doctor to let her know all that was going on. She scheduled me to see the Respiratory office in her building on the next day. I was feeling much better ? little nasal dripping, lungs felt better, March 17 ? Wednesday ? went to Respiratory appt but declined treatment because I felt so much better. More energy, better lungs than Tuesday, wheezing gone, less phlegm, still some coughing ? which is okay with me. I think this is a severe enough reaction that I should not have the second dose ? which is known to be more severe than the first.

She had been in her usual state of health until tonight. Assisted living facility staff called. He mentioned that the facility staff had earlier noticed that she was dragging her right foot and and has been needing more assistance with activities. The patient was walking and did not feel well. She was lowered to the ground and had a witnessed cardiac arrest. The ambulance was called and she was reportedly found to have pulseless electrical activity. She was given Epinephrine and Amiodarone with return of pulse. The patient was brought to the Emergency Room and was evaluated by ER physician. EKG showed atrial fibrillation, ventricular rate = 66, RBBB with Brugada pattern. She was emergently brought to the Cath Lab. Cardiac catheterization showed normal coronary arteries but EF 35-40%. Repeat EKG showed atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular response = 110, RBBB. Therapeutic hypothermia was initiated. The patient was admitted to the ICU on mechanical ventilation with TV 350 RR 14 PEEP 5. She is sedated with Propofol and Fentanyl IV. She is on Levophed IV. ABG showed pH = 7.22, pCO2 = 53, pO2 = 66, O2 sat = 88%. Lactate level = 9.5. WBC 8.8, Hgb 13.4, Hct 46, Platelets 138. Na 138, K 3.2, Cl 102, bicarb 20, BUN 16, Crea 1.19, estimated GFR = 44 mL/minute. Magnesium 2.7. Glucose levels have ranged from 273-312. Pro-Calcitonin = 0.26. Albumin 3.7. SGOT 262, SGPT 294. Troponin elevated at 47. Pro-BNP = 600. Urinalysis showed large blood. Chest x-ray showed vague peripheral pneumonitis. Endotracheal tube is in place. COVID-19 test by PCR is negative (2/5/21). COURSE IN HOSPITAL The patient was admitted to the ICU and was followed by Pulmonary/Critical Care. Patient was maintained on mechanical ventilation, sedated with propofol and fentanyl IV. Vasopressors were administered (Levophed IV). She was managed with therapeutic hypothermia. She was followed by Cardiology. Foley catheter was inserted for close input/output monitoring. Neuro checks, vital signs, daily weights, pulse oximetry, cardiac telemetry and fingersticks were monitored. She was given sodium bicarbonate IV due to metabolic acidosis. She was also given insulin IV drip. Potassium chloride IV was administered due to hypokalemia. The patient was given amiodarone IV. Platelet count was noted to be low but stable. Glucose levels were within acceptable range. Metabolic acidosis resolved. Hypokalemia resolved. Hypomagnesemia resolved. There were elevated LFTs which improved. Elevated CPK also improved. She was taken off hypothermia protocol. Sedation was decreased and she was able to open her eyes with verbal stimulus but unable to follow commands. Ammonia level was normal. Neurology evaluated the patient. EEG showed left periodic epileptiform discharges consistent with severe diffuse encephalopathy. Chest x-ray revealed right upper lung and left mid lung increasing opacity for which meropenem IV was started. Levophed was discontinued. Initially she had peripheral cyanosis, but this resolved upon discontinuation of vasopressors. Brain MRI was done demonstrating diffuse bilateral small and moderate-sized ischemic foci throughout the cerebellum and cerebellar region suggestive of embolism. There also was chronic marked atrophy and moderate small-vessel gliosis. CIRCUMSTANCES SURROUNDING DEMISE Based on neurologic evaluation, her prognosis for meaningful neurologic recovery was thought to be extremely poor. The patient was evaluated and followed by Palliative Care. She does not have family members and had designated her neighbor friends as her power of attorney. They have known the patient for a ling time and they know that she does not want to live like this. A decision was therefore made for comfort care measures only. Compassionate extubation was performed on February 12, 2021. The patient passed away on February 12, 2021, at 6:39 p.m.

feeling a little weird; Nauseous; Headaches; blood pressure went up over 220; pulse rate went way up; really ill; memory is a little off right now; felt like I am going to faint; ringing in the ears; dizzy/light headed; a really really sore arm for two days after the vaccine; allergic reaction; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable consumer, the patient. This 77-year-old female patient received the first dose of BNT162b2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 mRNA VACCINE; Lot Number: EW0171), via an unspecified route of administration on 29Apr2021 (at the age of 77-year-old) as a single dose for COVID-19 immunization. Medical history included allergies and sinus headaches which she takes (Excedrin) off and on for years in the past, and high blood pressure. Concomitant medications included atenolol (manufacturer unknown) taken for hypertension, start and stop date were not reported. Past drug history included the patient received a flu shot (unspecified Flu shot) with a mega reaction she was sick for weeks which was at least probably 15-20 years ago So, she never got a flu shot after that and she has never had the flu. On 29Apr2021, the patient had a really really sore arm for two days after the vaccine, dizzy/light headed, felt like I am going to faint, and ringing in the ears. On an unspecified date in 2021, she experienced allergic reaction. On 01May2021, she was really ill, and her blood pressure went up over 220 and pulse rate went way up. On 02May2021, she experienced headaches. On 06May2021, she was feeling a little weird and nauseous. On an unspecified date in May2021, her memory is a little off right now. The clinical course was as follows: the patient reported, "I had a really really sore arm for two days after the vaccine, it's okay now, I couldn't really move it. I feel I may be having a severe allergic reaction to the Pfizer vaccine (Pfizer Covid-19 Vaccine) got on Thursday (29Apr2021) of this past week. I am very light headed, dizzy and felt like I am going to faint, has ringing in the ears, and all that has been going on about a week, since last Thursday (29Apr2021). Then I was really ill last night (01May2021). It started last night when we went to bed around 11 O'clock. I have never had anything like this in my life. My blood pressure was through the roof. With a blood pressure cuff and a stethoscope, her blood pressure went up over 220 which was so high that had never happened before, so I took an extra pill (atenolol 25 mg tablet) last night (01May2021) which helped a little bit but not enough, and I really thought that I was going to pass out and be really sick. Because I thought that it was either having a stroke or a heart attack, my husband had to call ambulance to take me to the hospital last night. The systolic and diastolic and pulse rate went way up. They did chest x-ray, blood work, and urinalysis, and everything came back fine and they could not find anything. They just felt that I was just having a major reaction to the shot so they sent me home. I just got home this morning (02May2021) from having to go to the emergency room. But as soon as we got home, I started with a humongous headache and so I had Excedrin/Tylenol for headaches because I used to get sinus headaches. So, I took that, and it helped a little bit, my headache got a little better. Anyhow, I am much better right now and I am sleeping. But tomorrow it will be the same." Later the patient also reported, "Today (06May2021) I am feeling a little weird with ringing of ears and is light headed sometimes. Because of the light headedness, I feels a little nauseous. But I am a still very nauseous. I feel like I am going to faint again and my blood pressure I think has gone back up. I am trying to keep calm and trying to figure out what is going on.

Medical history included hypertension, paroxysmal atrial tachycardia, stroke when she was 40, had COVID in Mar2020 (Her cardiologist believes she had COVID too but never did a test) and broke her ankle. Concomitant medication included warfarin sodium (COUMADIN) because she had a stroke and broke her ankle and got a clot from her ankle to her groin; ongoing diltiazem hydrochloride (DILTIAZEM HYDROCHLORIDE) taken for paroxysmal atrial tachycardia and hypertension; Chlorthalidone taken for polyuria and hypertension; verapamil hydrochloride (VERAPAMIL) taken for paroxysmal atrial tachycardia for years. Patient received first dose of bnt162b2 on 28Feb2021 in left upper arm. Patient was a retired nurse and stated about a month after the second dose of the vaccine she started getting lightheaded, she went to Urgent Care because her daughter who is a nurse insisted. Her blood pressure at Urgent Care was really, really high, she was having excessive hypertension. Before the vaccine she was on a blood pressure medication for several years and had no issues. She went to see her cardiologist and they moved her from one medication to 3 medications (then add Losartan, Diltiazem) to get this controlled. In the morning she was lightheaded and her blood pressure is high before her morning medication. Diltiazem is 24 hours. She gets up at 3AM and once she takes the medication it seems to be ok. Her blood pressure is reasonable now. It is not like it was initially when elevated. Initially it was 180/88 to 94 when she first went to see the cardiologist after second COVID19 Vaccine. Currently her blood pressure in the morning is usually 154/ 77. That was when she first takes it when she gets up. Later in the morning it is running 110/77. The event outcome was unknown. She was feeling that it had to do with the second injection. Patient considered it was medically significant for high blood pressure and lightheaded, and considered both events related to COVID19 Vaccine.; Sender's Comments: Based on the known drug profile, there is a reasonable possibility of casual relationship between the drug BNT162b2 and the events Dizziness and Hypertension.

Back left lower part of brain: a small lesion, which was basically ignored Right side, towards front, part of brain, on top of and/or intertwined with motor strip: not sure what this is, a stroke or tumor (the neurosurgeon and neurologist had differing opinions) 2/22--1st MRI--shows 2 spots between these 2 MRIs the bloodwork, CT scan, and ultrasound are done--results normal 3/23--2nd MRI--larger lesion is bigger. Was not thought to be a cancerous tumor 4/23--3rd MRI--Looks like larger lesion is improving. A scheduled brain biopsy is postponed 5/20--4th MRI--the small spot is almost gone and the larger spot is much smaller, about 1/8th the size of the February MRI. According to the neuro-oncologist, this was an atypical stroke.

I first lost my nail. It was unusual because there was no trauma to the nail. I was reaching for something across my bed, and I started experiencing radiating pain across my chest as well as pressure. I stayed very still and then it spread through my left arm and up into my shoulder, neck ear and jaw. I remained still and tried breathing the best I could. This lasted a minute or two and then it released and was over. About a month later, I was diagnosed with RSV which ran down into my lungs and soon my blood pressure was going up because my heart was working so hard to breathe. It was over 200/175 which is abnormal for me. I had to end up calling an ambulance because I was having trouble breathing. I was prescribed blood pressure medication, steroids, antibiotics, prednisone and oxygen. I was not allowed to get out of bed, I couldn't walk. They told me it would take baby steps.

DX: Pericarditis onset 05/07/2021 Clinician description of chest pain: She now has some constant dull central chest pain and vague shortness of breath similar to her symptoms she had with her pericarditis.

CT Chest showed Cardiomegaly and small pericardial effusion, similar to 1/4/2021. Mild abnormality of CXR may be baseline. Mild abnormality in ECG. Elevated inflammatory markers and normal troponin. As above this easily could be a flare of a prior diagnosis of pericarditis due to being on a prednisone taper. She is under the care of a Rheumatologist.

felt fairly decent/feel bad; she "came down with covid"/test positive for COVID; she is kind of weak; her heart was racing; aching/aches; she ran a fever that got up to 101; cough; her arm got sore; allergies; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable consumer (patient). A 78-years-old female patient receive first dose of BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE) (lot number: EL1283) on 15Jan2021 at single dose in left arm for COVID Prevention. Medical history included ongoing High Blood Pressure, she was diagnosed approximately 5 years prior to starting blood pressure medications in 1998. Concomitant medication included hydrochlorothiazide, valsartan (VALSARTAN AND HYDROCHLOROTHIAZIDE) at 320mg/12.5mg, once daily, by mouth from 1998 and ongoing, amlodipine besylate at 5mg, once daily, by mouth at night from 1998, both for High blood pressure. The patient stated that she did not realize, but she must have been exposed to the COVID Virus, prior to getting her shot. She stated that on 15Jan2021, she went and got her Pfizer COVID shot, and that same day, by the time she got home, she was starting to feel bad and it went downhill from there. She mentioned that on the same day on 15Jan2021, she "came down with covid". She finally went in on 22Jan2021, and got tested, and she did test positive for COVID. The patient was tested Positive for COVID-19 on 22Jan2021. She did believe she was getting better. On 29Jan2021, she felt fairly decent, and today, she is kind of weak but she is assuming that will happen. She was scheduled to go back for her second dose on 08Feb2021, and she is wondering if there are recommendations about the second dose, for people who tested positive for COVID after having gotten the first dose. When queried for her PCP contact information, she stated that her head is not working really great and she feels stupid she did not have this information handy to provide. She states that the first week with her symptoms, she just figured she did have the virus. She had a cough but it never got down to where she had trouble breathing, and she just figured that her body had to go through, whatever it was going to go through, and as long as the patient felt like she was okay, there was not anything anyone could do, she just had to play it out. When she did finally go get tested, the doctor told her to get on Nyquil and Ibuprofen, so that is what the patient has been taking, and she feels like it has helped a lot. Before she saw the doctor, she was taking Acetaminophen, but the doctor told her to do the Nyquil and Ibuprofen, so that is what she has been doing. By the time she got home from getting her vaccine, her heart was racing. She took her blood pressure and it was okay at 125/73, and her heart rate was 72. She has high blood pressure and she takes two medications for that, so she took her night time blood pressure pill and the fast beating of her heart went away. The next day, she got to aching. She has had all different aches, and she ran a fever that got up to 101, and the rest of the time it was 100 or 99, but the fevers were not all day long, they would just come and go. Now she has had no fever in four or more days, and she is doing better. She does still have the cough, but she also has allergies so she does not know what is causing the cough. As far as the reaction to the vaccine, just her arm got sore. But she thinks she was exposed prior to getting the vaccine and just did not know it. she stated that the people took her temperature the day of the shot and she didn't have a temperature. She did not receive any other vaccines on the same day as the COVID vaccine. The outcome of fever was recovering, of cough and allergies was not recovered, of her heart was racing was recovered.

Medical history included silent heart attack, ongoing Barrett's oesophagus from 2008, fall she had over two months (2021), eye surgery on an unknown date. She does not get any shots and can't have shots even for the flu shot because she had problems with two flu shots she had; states she had a problem with each one of the flu shots and does not know the names of the flu shots and has no lot numbers to provide for them; states she had the flu shots in the early 1990's and worked in healthcare and had to have them and they told her back then if she wanted to work she had to have the flu shots and then she got sick with both of the flu shots and they said they guessed they would not force her to have the flu shots. The patient's concomitant medications were not reported. Patient had the first dose administered and then about 14 hours after (12Mar2021) that she had no problems until it began working up her arm with arm pain and chest pain which persisted and she went to the hospital and was admitted for 23 hours. She does not know what to do about getting the 2nd dose of the vaccine and was at her cardiologist's this week and he said he is not familiar with the Pfizer vaccine causing chest pain; caller states she has a history of silent heart attacks. She still has tiredness and difficulty swallowing like her throat is still tight and they told her to mention if she does go for the second dose of the vaccine to mention that she had this situation.The chest pain and arm pain began 12Mar2021 and the arm pain is in her right arm where the vaccine was administered and the arm pain and chest pain have resolved; states the arm pain and chest pain stopped and she thinks that lasted about an hour and a half and she called a family member to take her to the hospital; states about 2:30am that same day she was admitted the morning of 12Mar2021 and was discharged on 13Mar2021. They ran every test known to the patient and for a while her blood pressure went up to 198/203 in the emergency room (12Mar2021) and she is not on any medication; caller states she does have Crestor but has not started on it and has not taken it yet.

The tiredness and difficulty swallowing are better but she knows they are there and she tries to swallow something and is like boy her throat is still tight. They did an ultrasound in her left leg because she was limping from a fall she had over two months ago but still has a sore ankle from that and they sent her down for the ultrasound and a CT looking for blood clots in her lungs because she was short of breath (12Mar2021); caller states she thinks they were running everything they could to rule out things; states everything was negative for the CT and ultrasound and she believes the CT and ultrasound were done on 12Mar2021. She has no idea when she was diagnosed with silent heart attacks but they kept asking her about this when she went in for eye surgery and asked her when she had a heart attack and she said she had never had one and they said yes she had and she never knew. She just set up a HCP appointment after the reported events with a gastroenterologist because she has Barrett's and because of the esophagus she did not know if it flared up by the Pfizer vaccine and that caused the pain because the two pains of the heart and esophagus mimic each other with pain going up into the jaw so they were ruling out which one it was; states she went out as an atypical chest pain and called the cardiologist and went in and went over her records from the hospital with the cardiologist. She does not know what caused what in terms of the pain. The outcome of the event blood pressure increased was unknown, chest pain and pain in arm was recovered, other events was recovering.

She has not passed out for a huge amount of time but fortunately she had some towels laying close by and was able to use a towel; states after that she stopped for the rest of the day and only got up to go to the potty and was just so weak and heard that from many people that they just slept afterwards.Caller states her muscles were sore and she realized that was just normal and after the 2nd dose of the vaccine she knew her muscles would probably be sore and this was resolved.

On 2/18/21, 10 days after receiving the vaccine, I donated blood as usual. About 30 minutes later I was light headed, had abdominal cramping pain, bowel emptying and possibly fainted. I was transported by EMTs to the ER and was later diagnosed with inflamitory bowel by a CT scan. I took antibiotics and was feeling fine. My gastroenterologist performed a colonoscopy on 3/24/21 and the findings were that I was healed and tissue samples were normal. 3/25/21 I had an annual physical and was told I was in good health. Later that afternoon I began feeling light headed upon standing. In the night I called my health insurance hotline because my blood oxygen meter was beeping continuously. The Dr. on call told me to go by ambulance to the ER. When sitting or lying down, I felt fine and all the tests at the ER for my heart and my vital signs were good. A few hours later, they did a hest Xray and then a CT scan of my lungs which showed a saddle embulism. I had also thought I had bruised my knee if and when I fainted on 2/18 and 1o hours later a blood lot was found by ultrasound of my left knee. I was given blood thinners in the ER and then in ICU where I spent the next night. I am now taking Eleris. I was also given pantoprozole for GERD coughing the next day. I continue to have periods of abdominal ramping/pain, light headedness in waves and pressure in my head. I have disontinued the stomach medication with some feeling better with the lightheadedness.

Additional Context: Consumer states that her doctor wanted her to call and report this, because she has asthma and allergies that are chronic. Consumer states that she took her first Pfizer injection in April. She saw her allergy specialist on the 1st, and she tested the Consumer before she took the vaccine. She states that her breathing was at 113% breathing capacity (good) and the allergy specialist wanted her to go ahead and get the injection, which the Consumer did. Consumer clarifies that she received the first Pfizer COVID vaccine on 11Apr2021 and that she did really good with that one. Consumer then received the second COVID vaccine on 13May2021. She came home and slept almost all night long and thought she was okay. The Consumer explains she was not feeling real good before she went to receive her second dose. It was kind of like she was having some coughing and stuff, but she thought it was not bad and that she could still go ahead and get it. She went ahead on 13May2021 and had the second dose. Consumer states that on the first day, she slept all day long- the whole entire day, she didn't even wake up. On the second day, the Consumer states that she had soreness in her arm.

She states that they did a bronch on her and still did not really come to a conclusion of what was happening. She was told it looked like it could be an infection in her lungs. Consumer states that she is having to see three doctors this week because of this since she got out of the hospital. She saw her medical doctor, Dr., yesterday who was very concerned because she had a recent patient that was about the same age as the Consumer- he was 75 years old. This patient had done the same thing, only he ended up taking pneumonia and dying with it. The doctor told the Consumer in her x-ray, her doctor could see that she had some pneumonia showing. The Consumer asked her doctor while she was in the hospital about the pneumonia and they refused to listen to anything the Consumer said, so Dr. told her that the Consumer needed to report this because she is still so sick. Consumer clarifies that she was hospitalized for a week and that she just got out on Saturday, 29May2021.

short of breath; nose bleed/lost a lot of blood/bleeding; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable consumer (patient). This consumer reported similar events for two patients.

A 79-year-old female patient received first dose of BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, solution for injection) lot number EL9263 and expiry date unknown, via unspecified route of administration on 26Jan2021 at single dose for Covid-19 immunization, and eicosapentaenoic acid ethyl ester (VASCEPA), acetylsalicylic acid (BABY ASPIRIN); both via unspecified route of administration from unspecified date to 31Jan2021 at unknown dose and frequency for unspecified indication. Medical history was none. Concomitant medication was not reported. The patient had taken the first shot of the Pfizer shot on 26Jan2021 (Tuesday) and the patient seemed to managing it pretty well, she got short of breath one night (unspecified date) but in general, she felt okay. But several days later, 5 days later Sunday (31Jan2021), on Sunday morning she felt okay, what happened was she leaned a little bit, she bent down to wash her hands in the sink and she had a huge nose bleed, it was nothing like she ever had before, she was just wiping, spurting a lot of blood so this was 5 days. It was the morning of the 5th day and they had to call an ambulance to take her to the hospital and then she left the hospital. The patient had lost a lot of blood in the ambulance, they said they had never seen so much blood, they could not stop it, they kept giving her towels and the same thing in the hospital, in the emergency room. The patient was just bleeding over everywhere. The patient informed that for the last several years she has been having one baby aspirin and has been taking for the last few months or two, two or four Vascepa which was a fish oil supplement that can thin the blood but she has never had anything like this and they said go to her ENT, and she went up going ENT, and first time she went she would not take out the packing. The patient informed that it was too severe for her to take out the packing and, when she went back with her following time she took some of the packing and it started to bleed again and she cauterized it in a lot of places and you know would wait and do it again. And then she end up putting some kind of bandage that was going to help the blood clotting. Now, she has been subsequently going back to her and it was still in the very end of. The patient informed that she was still passing some very small blood clots, it has not even stopped. The patient informed that she was on 19 days passed already, since she had the bleed. The patient was very concerned. The patient informed that she was supposed to get her second vaccine in 2 to 3 days, Tuesday and she thought that this was the very bad experience that she had. The patient wanted to know if the aspirin and fish oil could have contributed to this, she stopped these as of 31Jan2021. The patient was talking to her daughter and her daughter has a friend whose mother lives in the same area and had her first Pfizer vaccine and had a small nose bleed right afterwards and then when she has second vaccine, she had another, a very bad. The patient informed that her daughter and a friend of hers said that a similar reaction occurred to her mother after the first dose of the Pfizer vaccine, she had two small nasal bleeds and right afterwards, when she took the second vaccine she had a very big one, like hers, where she had to be taken to the hospital. The patient was concerned, she has been told that the response to the 2nd vaccine was stronger than the first. The patient further informed that she had no nose bleed like this before, like her husband was a physician, that she never had anything like this before, this was very serious kind of situation to happen, and this after the very first vaccine that she had. She had a very severe nosebleed, she had to go to the hospital to stop it. She was on a baby aspirin and some fish oil as well. The patient informed that she wasn't warned that this could thin her blood, that this was enough of a dose to do anything to create this deluge of bleeding. The patient informed that she was few days out from getting her second shot and she had stopped the baby aspirin and the fish oil about three weeks ago. The patient informed that she was not going to take second. The patient wanted to know how long she was going to wait, how long she was going to test her antibody and see that she don't have any more antibodies and will go take the other brand vaccine. The patient added she was reporting that she had a terrible nosebleed and wanted to file a safety report. The patient wanted to know that if she choose not to get the 2nd vaccine, because of her worry of having this reaction again, how long would it be before she could get another vaccine; how long can she wait to get the second dose, or can she get a second dose from another manufacturer. The patient was requested to contact physician. The action taken in response to the events for eicosapentaenoic acid ethyl ester (VASCEPA) and acetylsalicylic acid was permanently withdrawn. The outcome of the events was unknown.; Sender's Comments: Based on the information provided and plausible temporal association, the causality between the BNT162B2 and the event nosebleed cannot be excluded.

Hypertension; Tachycardia; Extreme flushing to face and neck; glowing red; took her pulse and it was 145; Persistent head to toe macular erythematous Rash; Dull Headache; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable healthcare professional (patient). A 79-year-old female patient received bnt162b2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE), intramuscular, administered on the left arm on 21Apr2021 13:12 (Batch/Lot number was not reported; Expiration Date: 31Jul2021) as 1st dose, single for covid-19 immunisation. Medical history included fibromyalgia (diagnosed more than 20 years ago), bladder cancer (diagnosed 13 years ago the first time, 8 reoccurrences and has been cancer free for 2 years, cancer free for 2 years), multi drug allergies, compromised immune status, respiratory illness, genetic /chromosomal abnormalities, endocrine abnormalities, diabetes, and obesity. Concomitant medications included lisinopril, levothyroxine, and oxazepam. No vaccines received within 2 weeks. In 12 minutes after the injection on 21Apr2021, while she was still sitting in the parking lot, patient developed tachycardia on and extreme flushing to face and neck on 13:20. They were as red as being in the sun. She was aware of tachycardia first. Then she looked in the mirror and was glowing red. Patient was observing in parking lot and took her pulse and it was 145. Persistent head to toe macular erythematous rash occurred next. They took her to the ER about 20 minutes after the injection. In the ER, she was given 25mg of Benadryl IV and 125 mg of Solumedrol IV. When both of those wore off the next day, the generalized rash came back on Thursday (22Apr2021). The rash was persistent but not as flushed looking as before. When they got her into ER, the first blood pressure reading was 198/117, which was within 20 minutes of injection. Hypertension was experienced on 13:30. Her blood pressure usually was fairly low and was back to normal now. She had one reading of 124/76 to 170/something. Her normal range is anywhere between 150-170/70-80's. She is on Lisinopril. The other morning when it was 124/76, was just a fluke. That was an unusually good reading. They did a regular panel of lab work when she went to the ER. They did not tell her that anything was abnormal. She asked them to run an A1C, but they told her they could not. They did a chest film, EKG, placed IV to give medications, but no fluids given. Her doctor said not to get second dose of the vaccine. She had it at the hospital and they had reports of other people with a rash. The patient considered the events tachycardia, extreme flushing, macular erythematous rash and hypertension were medically significant while for headache was non-serious.; Sender's Comments: The reported events were possibly causally related to the bnt162b2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE), due to plausible temporal relationship. This case will be reassessed should additional information become available. 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.

A 79-years-old female patient received bnt162b2 (PFIZER- BIONTECH COVID- 19 VACCINE, Solution for injection) via an unspecified route of administration, administered in Arm Left on 30Jan2021(at the age of 79-years-old) (Batch/Lot Number: EL1283) as 2ND DOSE, SINGLE for covid-19 immunisation. The patient medical history was not reported. The patient's concomitant medications were not reported. Prior Vaccinations (within 4 weeks) If applicable, list any other vaccinations within four weeks prior to the first administration date of the suspect vaccine(s) was none. Family medical history relevant to AE(s) was none and she is getting close to obesity if she keeps eating like this. The patient previously took first dose of bnt162b2 on 11Jan2021, (Lot Number: EK9231, Expiry Date: Unknown, this is not on the CDC vaccine record card) via Injection administered in Arm Left for covid-19 immunisation and experienced Left arm was real sore after first dose injection. The historical vaccine included shingles vaccine. The patient experienced blood pressure/ up to 210/110 mmHg on 20Feb2021 felt chills/chills on 31Jan2021, felt yucky on 31Jan2021, not walking well on 20Feb2021 , felt sick/sick as a dog on 20Feb2021, feeling nauseous on 20Feb2021, threw up like crazy on 20Feb2021, funny feeling around her head/feeling really funny on 20Feb2021, face usually gets red when her blood pressure is high and it she is not red at this time on 20Feb2021, vertigo on 20Feb2021, felt the really funny feeling going up her throat on an unspecified date in 2021, her heart rate has been wanting to be a little higher than usual on an unspecified date in 2021 and her balance was not quite right on an unspecified date in 2021. The patient underwent lab tests and procedures which included blood pressure measurement: 220/110 mmHg (normal value: 120/80) on 20Feb2021, computerised tomogram: doctor mentioned 3 little places on 20Feb2021, electrocardiogram: unknown results on 20Feb2021, heart rate: little higher than usual on an unspecified date in 2021, laboratory test: unknown results on 20Feb2021. Patient received both dose of the Pfizer covid vaccine on 11Jan2021 and 30Jan2021. On the next day after the 2nd dose, she felt chills. On 20Feb2021, she started not walking well, thought she would fall. All of a sudden, she felt sick and threw up like crazy while she was visiting her daughter for the day. The firefighters came to take her blood pressure and it was up to 210/110 mmHg. They advised her to go to the ER. After several hours, she was given blood pressure and nausea pills. They mentioned vertigo. She says it got okay. However, 2 weeks ago, she started to have a funny feeling around her head. Not dizzy but her face usually gets red when her blood pressure high and she was not red at that time. It was again reported that the day after she was administered the second dose of Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine she had chills and felt yucky that day. She also reported feeling really funny since 20Feb2021. She was asked for further information on events related to Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine. She was at her daughter and noticed her balance was not quite right. She started feeling really funny so just lay down there for a little bit. When she did get up after about 15 minutes she started feeling nauseous. She got to the bathroom really fast and threw up like crazy. She did not have her blood pressure cuff with her so her daughter called the fire department and took her down there real fast. At the fire station they took her blood pressure which was 210/110 mmHg, so they suggested she head to the emergency room so she did. She was under observation in the emergency room, but not admitted to the hospital. The doctor mentioned vertigo somewhere along the way before she left the emergency room. She just kind of brushed the vertigo off until she was reading about that the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine can cause vertigo. She guesses vertigo was what caused these events because she had been sick as a dog. When they got her on the bed and rolled her back she felt like she was going 90 miles per hour and by the time they got her back on the bed she was throwing up again-but this time and the initial onset of throwing up was the only times she threw up. They gave her something after probably 5-6 hours, blood pressure medicine and nausea medicine and she got ok and left there. Her heart rate has been wanting to be a little higher than usual. About 2 weeks ago she was just sitting on the couch and noticed especially when she would turn her head she still feels really funny; not dizzy, dizzy; she was walking ok; but the really funny feeling keeps hitting her continuously. During call when she sat back down she felt the really funny feeling going up her throat. It was just the weirdest thing, she wishes she had a word to really explain what the really funny feeling was but she does not. She has not checked her blood pressure for a while because she has been holding for a while for this department, so her blood pressure could be up a little bit, but she stated event was worse right now than it has been. Regarding testing/investigations while in the emergency room they did a CT head scan, lab tests, and an EKG. CT head scan results, the doctor mentioned 3 little places but when she talked to her doctor he said that was really just nothing to worry about with age; he said they will check it in 6 months and make sure areas are not growing. Caller has no further information to provide regarding lab tests or EKG results, they did not mention anything. Therapeutic measures were taken as a result of blood pressure/ up to 210/110 mmHg and feeling nauseous. The outcome of the events, felt chills/Chills , Felt yucky, her balance was not quite right, felt sick/sick as a dog, threw up like crazy, face usually gets red when her blood pressure is high and it she is not red at this time, felt the really funny feeling going up her throat, Her heart rate has been wanting to be a little higher than usual was reported as unknown, not walking well, feeling nauseous and vertigo was reported as recovering, funny feeling around her head/Feeling really funny and blood pressure/ up to 210/110 mmHg was reported as not resolved.

The night after receiving dose 1 of the vaccine, she didn't want to eat dinner, was starting to spit up saliva, and noted a new headache, and asked her daughter to sleep with her that night considering she was feeling poorly. She was restless all night, and then at ~5am her L arm began to twitch; she was still alert at this time but didn't realize her arm was moving. Shortly after this she lost consciousness, her eyes rolled back in her head, and she developed a frank GTC seizure. Her daughter called an ambulance, and by the time she was on the way to the hospital, she was awake and alert again. At the hospital, she was initially talking and able to answer most questions appropriately. She was noted to be afebrile, hemodynamically stable, without an O2 requirement, though with tachycardia to the 110s. She was found to have a leukocytosis to ~16, thrombocytosis to ~550, and LDH elevated in the 600s. Over the following day, her mental status declined and she became agitated and disoriented to place/time. CT chest revealed b/l multifocal pneumonia, for which she was started on pip-tazo. She underwent MRI brain (DWI sequence only) which did not reveal any obvious CVA. LP was performed on 1/29 at ~10PM; as far as we can tell, she had only received pip-tazo for antibiotics at this point. CSF studies revealed 220 WBCs (14% PMNs, 76% lymphs, 10% monos), 14 RBCs, Glu 59, Prot 145; GS 2+ WBCs, no orgs; india ink stain negative; Cx pending at time of transfer. Given concern for bacterial or viral meningoencephalitis she was transitioned to vancomycin/ceftriaxone/acyclovir. Patient was then transferred to another Hospital for further management. Micro was all negative or pending at the time of transfer. Shortly after admission to hospital she was intubated. Spine MRI was notable for longitudinally extensive transverse myelitis. All infectious workup has been negative with just two more pending studies for tuberculosis; autoantibody panel pending. She is now able to follow commands with eyes and mouth, but has not been able to move her arms or legs. We do not have high suspicion that this syndrome is related to the vaccine, given that progressive neurological symptoms started the week before vaccine, but thought it prudent to report given the time course.

I had severe chills from early morning until about 5:00 pm. I did not feel good on Sunday, so I ate very little that day and my sugar was about 42 points higher than normal. On Monday, I had the same breakfast and lunch that I normally have -- no changes in routine and my sugar had jumped 60 points when checked just prior to dinner. Today it is still abnormally high (30 points higher), even when checked first thing in the morning. Since my sugar is pretty stable, if I watch what I eat this is extremly unusual. and occurred after the second vaccine shot. I believe the sugar readings are decreasing steadily and will see how they are today and tomorrow.

Patient had her second COVID vaccine on 2/20/21. The next day she developed diffuse body aches. She went on to develop worsening dyspnea and fever to 103°F on February 23. She had a fever again on February 24. The patient also experienced a few episodes of vomiting and diarrhea but no abdominal pain and had pain of the legs, right greater than left. Blotchy red patches of the hands and arms developed. She therefore presented to the ER on 2/25/21. See full history below from infectious disease note on 3/1/21: Patient is an 80 year old female who has a past medical history notable for hypertension, dyslipidemia, and hypothyroidism. The patient was diagnosed with a high-grade lymphoma of the retroperitoneum in 2004 and completed 4 cycles of multi-chemotherapy (Cytoxan, Adriamycin, vincristine, methotrexate, and IT chemotherapy (Magrath-like regimen)). She completed 4 cycles with complete remission on PET scan. The biopsy of a left cervical lymph node in 2007 revealed follicular lymphoma and she completed radiation therapy to the neck with complete remission. A left axillary lymph node biopsy in 2016 revealed grade-3 follicular lymphoma with mixed follicular and diffuse histology. Chemotherapy was pursued. The biopsy of a pelvic lymph node in 2019 was consistent with G1-2 follicular lymphoma.  She completed radiation to the pelvis in May of 2019.  She developed progressive pelvic adenopathy in April of 2020 and received 5 cycles of chemotherapy. Subsequent CT showed improvement in the adenopathy.  Her course was complicated by pulmonary emboli (September 2020).  In November of 2020 she was started on maintenance Rituxan every 2 months.  She received the 2-dose Pfizer COVID vaccine series on 1/29/21 and 2/20/21. With the above background, the patient presented to the emergency room on February 25, 2021 with complaints of diffuse body aches, which had developed that day after receiving her second dose of COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) vaccine.  She went on to develop worsening dyspnea and fever to 103°F on February 23.  She had a fever again on February 24. The patient also experienced a few episodes of vomiting and diarrhea but no abdominal pain and had pain of the legs, right greater than left. Blotchy red patches of the hands and arms developed.  She called Oncology on February 20 and it was recommended that she go to the emergency room for evaluation.   She was afebrile on presentation to the emergency room.  She was tachycardic, however, with a pulse rate of 117 bpm.  She was breathing at 48 breaths per minute.  Blood pressure was 105/80 mmHg.  Oxygen saturation by pulse oximetry was 96%. Examination was notable for paraspinous muscle tenderness, tachypnea, mild respiratory distress, and a mildly distended abdomen.  Mild erythematous patches of the feet and forearm were noted, as well as evidence of edema of the right leg from the knee to the lower leg. The peripheral blood leukocyte count measured 0.8x10e3/µL.  ANC was 0.48x10e3/µL.  Platelets measured 96x10e3/µL.  Creatinine was 0.97 mg/dL.  AST was 86 and ALT 20 U/L. The lactic acid level of the venous blood was 3.6 mmol/L. The procalcitonin level of the blood measured 28.37 ng/mL. The C-reactive protein level was 313.7 mg/deciliter. The creatine kinase (CK) level was 4023 U/L.  LDH measured 314 U/L. Troponin was 3.22 ng/mL.  Urinalysis showed 6-10 wbc?s, 0-2 rbc?s/hpf, 3+ blood, negative nitrites, hyaline and granular casts as well as amorphus crystals. A chest radiograph showed possible, but not definite, mild atelectasis or infiltrate at the left lung base.  A radiograph of the right tibia/fibula showed circumferential soft tissue edema seen within the knee and upper to mid aspect of the lower leg.  EKG showed sinus tachycardia but no evidence of arrhythmia or ischemia. Cultures of specimens of the blood were obtained.  The patient was started empirically on vancomycin and cefepime and was admitted.   Faint erythema and ecchymosis of the right leg extending to the dorsal right foot and right wrist erythema were noted following the patient?s admission.  Her condition subsequently destabilized with increased respiratory rate, worsening pain, and hypotension, so she was transferred to the ICU. An abdominopelvic CT on February 25 revealed a small amount of free fluid in the abdomen around the liver, cholelithiasis with no evidence of acute cholecystitis or biliary dilatation, a nonobstructing 5-mm stone of the mid pole of the left kidney, coronary artery calcifications, mild infiltration of the fat in the inferior retroperitoneum and along the right common iliac region with small nodes in this region, similar compared with September 24, 2020, but improved compared with April 30, 2020, and consistent with response of lymphoma to chemotherapy; a myomatous uterus. A CT scan of the right lower extremity showed extensive edema about the subcutaneous tissues of the right lower leg and infiltration of the fat about the muscles of the right lower leg, likely representing cellulitis and fasciitis, and possible myositis. However, there was no air within the subcutaneous tissues or muscles to suggest necrotizing fasciitis and no evidence of abscess.     The patient?s antibiotic treatment was later changed to vancomycin, piperacillin-tazobactam and clindamycin. Cultures of specimens of the blood were later reported as being positive for methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus on 2/2 sets. Repeat blood cultures (February 26) were positive as well. Her antibiotics were modified to cefazolin monotherapy. Repeat blood cultures on Feb 27 and 28 were negative.   TTE completed 2/27/21 without obvious vegetation.   TODAY (3/1/21): Cultures negative 2/27 and 2/28. Remains on IVIG. Afebrile. She complaints of continued pain in the Right leg and swelling at that left arm. Exam GENERAL: NAD EYES: Sclera and conjunctiva clear NECK: no adenopathy LUNGS: Breath sounds normal and symmetric. No rales or wheezes. HEART: regular rhythm, no murmur appreciated ABDOMEN: Soft without mass, tenderness, organomegaly or hernia. EXTREMITIES: RLE with ecchymosis, slight overlying erythema and anterior blister: blistering more pronounced today. left foot with plantar erythema, some tenderness today. LUE fullness with some heat/tenderness SKIN: No other rashes or other abnormalities are noted. NEUROLOGICAL: alert, appropriate Assessment 1. MSSA septicemia with shock. Positive blood cultures 2/25 and 2/26 thus far. Negative since 2/27. 2. Multifocal cellulitis and interstitial infective myositis of LE- suspect related to above. CT scan was negative for apparent necrotizing infection. 3. Elevated CK due to above- improving 4. Recurrent lymphoma- has been on maintenance rituximab (11/2020). Immunocompromised state. 5. Low immunoglobulins- remains on IVIG 6. Positive urine cultures with Staph aureus- this is typically secondary seeding from bacteremia rather than primary staph uti.

An 80-year-old female patient received the first dose of bnt162b2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, Batch/Lot Number: EN6202), via an unspecified route of administration, administered in Arm Right on 01Mar2021 13:30 (at 80 years old) as single dose for covid-19 immunisation. Medical history included irritable bowel syndrome, allergic to gluten, lecithin, and other barky parts of plants, high pressure, she did not hear very well, left breast surgery, skin cancer. She had a small skin cancer taken off each of her legs, one removed in Jan2020 and one removed in Feb2020. They are all healed up and they are fine, it was not the bad kind. There were no concomitant medications. The patient experienced choking experience in which her throat tickled, and dizziness, dehydrated, her heart started to pound (a rapid heartbeat), her ears started to ring (a pounding in her ears), she had pressure in her jaw, chest, head, ears, and allover, she had high pressure, excreted 1 cup of urine more than what she usually does, couldn't sleep due to high adrenal stimulance, bowel movements all afternoon which is a common allergic reaction all on 01Mar2021 with outcome of unknown. Clinical course was reported as follows. She mentioned that she was fine for 20-30 minutes to an hour after she got home. That afternoon, she noticed that her bowel movement was regular, constant, and repeating which was not normal and would typically indicate SIBO (Small intestine bowel overflow) in which the colon empties everything. She mentioned that this was indicative of her gluten allergy. She reported having had bowel movements all afternoon which is a common allergic reaction she has to plants like lectin and gluten especially due to the irritable bowel system-her whole bowel system will empty and she will have to replace 2 days worth of food. With this event starting 01Mar2021 her bowels just kept emptying and emptying. During dinner while she was eating and watching tv, her heart started to pound (a rapid heartbeat), her ears started to ring (a pounding in her ears), she had pressure in her jaw, chest, head, ears, and allover, she had high pressure, and a choking episode in which her throat tickled, and dizziness that she couldn't get up. She took hot water for the tickling sensation and took one aspirin for the other symptoms, but she still did not feel very well. She went to bed at 9pm but couldn't sleep due to high adrenal stimulance, she only slept like 2-3 hours long which she can get from Novocaine with her teeth. She got up 3 times and excreted a cup of urine per time. In the morning, she woke up and excreted 1 cup of urine more than what she usually does. She got herself weighed and had a weight of 109lbs versus the normal 122lbs which indicated that she was really dehydrated so she took her fluids and ate breakfast. Other than this, she mentioned that she got up today and felt fine and feels that in 2 days she will be fine. She felt pretty good and she was going to run but did not dare burn any more calories or fluids so she is sitting still and taking it easy. Regarding outcome of event she reported the pounding pressure like high blood pressure are better, fine# she had a normal breakfast# she can get around and do whatever she needs around the house except she needs now to spend the day recouping from the dehydration so she needs pay attention to what she eats and drinks. She mentions that she runs 3-4 miles a day and tries to be active for her age. She is asking if she can take the 2nd dose in 3 weeks. She is unsure if this is an allergic reaction or something psychological. The outcome of the event was reported as recovering.

passed out; Did not get second Covid 19 vaccine when scheduled; 50 days since las shot; first Covid 19 vaccination lot number says RL3246; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable consumer, the patient via the Pfizer sponsored program. A 80-year-old female patient received the first dose of BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 MRNA VACCINE), intramuscularly on 07Jan2021 at 12:00 (at the age of 80-years-old) as a single dose in the right arm for COVID-19 vaccination. Medical history included ovarian and endometrial cancer. Concomitant medications were not provided. The patient did not receive any other vaccinations within four weeks of immunization. On 07Jan2021, the patient received the first Pfizer shot. When she went for the second shot, she was waiting outside in the heat (she is a cancer victim) and she passed out so they wouldn't give her the second shot. She mentioned that, then, she couldn't go back because of cancer treatments she was being given and the facility was only open in that community for a certain amount of time. She finally went for a second shot at a different facility ("Institute") but she was told that she couldn't get the shot because "they didn't know if the first shot was real" as they had a different lot number than the Pfizer lot number that she had. She explained further that her first COVID 19 vaccination lot number is recorded on her vaccination card as "RL3246." Her husband's COVID 19 vaccination card says "EL3246" for lot number and they received injections on the same day. The caller believes her lot number should also say "EL3246" - she thinks it's a small written 'e.' The patient added that, as of the reporting date, "It is 50 days since I had the last shot." She also asked if she has to retake the vaccines or if she can just take the second dose. The clinical outcomes of the event "passed out" was not provided.

Feeling inactive, not going out so patient gained a lot of weight. Patient took blood pressure medication and for heart some basically and patient didn't sleep well, so patient took Alprazolam to relax to sleep, but patient was an insomniac but that was basically problem. The patient's concomitant medication included isosorbide. Patient had the first Pfizer shot and wasn't even sore or anything, patient was so happy but that about 4 or 5 hours later about maybe 5 o'Clock, patient had allergic reaction and started to feel a sensation in lip and when she looked in the mirror, what was all that on lip and one side on lip it had turned white and it had lump was extended along lip line, lymph node was swelling up and patient had white lumps on lip which still had but it was going down and some white patches on face. Nothing happened on the 24Feb2021. Patient thought it was the 25Feb2021 that was when all trouble started. Patient felt like nightmare because she started feeling like something was choking her in mouth and next minute patient started coughing, coughing real hard and that was terrible cough then after this strange voice and patient realized it was breathing and it was like somebody has cranky paper in hand which screaming up that's what breath sounded like.

They came within a few minutes, they started questioning about what was happening and they put patient to the emergency room and well they test patient for Covid as well naturally. It was negative, they did it 2 times and it was negative. When they took patient to one of the room in fact patient was frightened because they didn't told patient it was negative. Patient said she got the virus, they said not but patient had to take the oxygen as it's surge to scan on lungs. They said patient had allergic reaction to the vaccine. Patient was supposed to have it but at the same time there was the variant, doctor said patient was 70% covered, didn't have it but patient want to just check the status was with a person like her was allergic. Patient had shots in face and patient did tell them that she had all sorts of things on face.

Early the next morning they put patient down 2' o'clock in the morning. Patient wanted to go home, they said patient can't as she had very bad infection in lungs which was completely untrue. The next morning (the same morning early), patient was okay because the pains and everything was gone but she believe the medication they put patient on that caused to short of breath and patient said please don't give her the medication and they did. They only give generic medicine in the hospital and patient took brand name. On 26Feb2021 patient actually called the doctor for all results and she told nothing, patient didn't get the result. Anyway they took patient off one medication, they didn't give it to her and this medication you can not get off of it and through that patient had a headache the whole of the day and the whole day on the 26Feb2021 patient was suffering with very bad headache and kept asking for the medication they said they would give to the patient. Finally the doctor gave only to the aspirin and paracetamol (TYLENOL) that both the same and in the end patient husband have to go and get the pill because they still hadn't given it to patient all day long. Patient said to doctor because she was breathing hard and she said the doctor did this to her by giving these pills that don't agree with her. She told she can not take this medication, anyway the doctor said to patient husband go home and get her medication, and he said so now you are medicating yourself. By the next day patient was ready, she was breathing normally and was ready to go home but late afternoon they said patient should go home but she still had those white patches but they were not as prominent as what they were. Patient whole lip turn white, whatever they did, whatever they gave, patient had sore around mouth and face swollen up. Patient didn't know whether she was allergic to the medicine or what but her face, it looked like she had, patient was fine anyway couldn't get an appointment with GP to the Wednesday (unspecified week) but it free appointment on the Tuesday and patient went in and showed him what it looked like.

They said her vital signs were normal and left. On 2/9/21 in the morning my da awoke to see that Mom had large amounts of bubbly saliva pouring from her mouth onto her pillow. Dad called paramedics, who said this was a diabetic reaction. Mom had NEVER had anything happen like this before. Mom was very sleepy, could not be aroused, and made only gurgling noises. She was admitted to the hospital for care and therapy. She pulled her own IV out. Mom had to be restrained in the hospital and sedated, due to confusion and worsening dementia. By 2/18 when we spoke by phone mom's speech was abnormally slow and very repetitive. "I'm very tired today" was spoken many times. In morning time mom was able to follow basic conversation.

On 4/16/21 Mom and dad were napping sitting up on the couch in the morning. Mom fell forward and hit her head on the hearth. Dad and caregiver gave first aid and called paramedics, who took her to the ER. Mom came home on 4/17/21. On 4/18/21 Mom pulled her catheter out in the early morning. In the afternoon Mom's appearance was concerning, so Dad called paramedics. They said that Mom's BP had dropped very low and took her to the ER. Mom was combative the next day in the hospital.

Patient is an 80 y/o right handed female who is totally independent at baseline who received her Pfizer vaccine out of the country (1st dose 2/19/21, 2nd dose 3/12/21). She was reactive to both shots, reporting arthralgias, headache, low grade fever, chills. She had a rise in blood pressure later during the day of her shot as well as the next day (up to 180/70, from baseline of 130/70). She also had an episode of epistaxis several days after her first shot. She traveled independently out of the country on 3/31/21 to visit her son on a leisure trip. On 4/5/21 she had headache, dizziness/lightheadedness, and did not feel well, and her systolic BP was 198, after which she took additional 40 mg of lisinopril. Her BP subsequently decreased to systolic BP of 130 mm Hg on 4/5/21, but over the next few days she had labile BP with a range of BP of 125 to 171/ 58 - 68. She was meticulous in checking and recording her BP several times a day, and she increased her lisinopril dose to 40 mg po qd from 20 mg po qd given the higher than usual blood pressure range. On 4/10/21 her BP was as follows: 6:30 am, 148/60 (she took her daily lisinopril 20 mg po); 11:30 am: 132/52; 3 pm: 171/69 (she took additional lisinopril 20 mg po) after which her systolic BP decreased to 130. Then around 6:20 pm the same day (4/10/21), she had acute onset of headache, vomiting, left sided weakness, SBP 220, and was witnessed to have rapid change in mental status. There was no antecedent trauma to the head. EMTs were called immediately and she had loss of consciousness during the ambulance ride to the ED, after about 20 minutes of symptom onset, with agonal breathing and bradycardia to the 40s, but never lost her pulse. Upon arrival to the ED out of the country, her Glascow Coma Scale (GCS) was 6, she was rapidly intubated and stabilized. Head CT demonstrated massive intraparenchymal hemorrhage (140 cc) within the R temporal parietal and occipital lobes, with cerebral edema and 14 mm midline shift, associated with small subdural hematoma and small intraventricular hemorrhage within the temporal horn and body of the R lateral ventricle. They reported hyperdense "spot sign" within the intraparenchymal hematoma compatible with active hemorrhage, no evidence of venous thrombosis, no masses, no arteriovenous malformations. She had 2.5 mm aneurysm right that was thought to be incidental finding unrelated to her event. She was taken emergently to the OR on 4/10/2021 for decompressive R hemicraniectomy, which she underwent successfully with minimal blood loss. She had no coagulopathy and her platelets and hemoglobin were normal. She remained in the Neuro ICU for 3 weeks. She received a tracheostomy two weeks after her presentation, and was weaned off the ventilator. She is breathing spontaneously after 5 weeks from presentation. She remains in coma or minimally conscious state, with GCS score of 5-6 as of 5/13/2021.

Bleeding/felt blood on her arm /blood was coming from the top of the band aid; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable consumer reporting for self. This 81-year-old female patient received first dose of BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, lot# EL3248) via unspecified route of administration on 14Jan2021 02:00 PM at right arm at single dose for COVID-19 vaccination, clopidogrel (manufacturer: Aurobindo, lot# QR7520022-A, expiry date: Apr2022) oral from Dec2020 at 75 mg once a day for TIA (Transient ischaemic attack). Medical history included TIA from Aug2019. She had her first TIA Aug2019, and then had her second a couple months ago, it was not as severe, the buildings moved and she walked like she was drunk, but had only one other thing than walking funny and buildings moving, she can't remember what that was. Pain, blood cholesterol abnormal. Pain in both of her arms, she said her left arm hurt more than her right arm from time to time, and when the left started hurting she took all the pills, but she didn't take Hydrocodone though it is prescribed, she didn't take that unless she was in a lot more pain than usual. She said her doctors said different things about her arm pain, one said she had a torn rotator cuff, another said arthritis, someone else said it was something in her neck but it was a big word that she didn't know, she just knew she had pain. Concomitant medications included acetylsalicylic acid (BABY ASPIRIN, manufacturer: Bayer, UPC number: 349483 48150) from Aug2019 for TIA; carbamazepine from Jan2021 for pain in both of her arms; metoprolol succinate, had been taking it a couple years; zolpidem; hydrocodone for pain (she only takes if she is dying of pain, clarified to being in a lot of pain); atorvastatin for cholesterol. The patient reported that she had COVID-19 and experienced side effect. She said it happened after the 15 minutes observation when she left to drive home on 14Jan2021. She said 5 minutes into her drive she felt blood on her arm and put her hand in her shirt, and wiped it, saw blood. She said the bleeding was weird so she pulled over to look at her arm, and blood was coming from the top of the band aid where normally it would seep down from the bottom. She used five baby wipe, and wiped a lot of blood, until finally she thought it stopped bleeding. She was not light headed or in pain, it was a 45 minute drive and she got home and was still bleeding so she took her shirt off and put a towel around it to stop the bleeding and it finally stopped. She said she didn't think to report it until her doctor said to when she told him, he had said maybe the girl who gave her the shot hit a vein, but she should tell them. She said maybe she did hit a vein, because she had never had problems when getting a shot or more than a spot of blood in the past. She said one thing that may be important was that she had a couple of TIAs, many series (unable to clarify) her doctor friend assessed that with three MRIs and MRAs. She said she just refilled one of her medications, Clopidogrel, and was reading the instructions for it and it says it can cause excessive bleeding. She said that she was not bleeding so she didn't worry about it, that maybe that caused excessive bleeding. She had not had a second dose, but she didn't want to go through this again with the bleeding, though if it was just a vein or air that may not happen. She said she was very healthy, no underlying conditions at all, never had a problem before, her arm was not painful, she was not light headed. She said the baby wipe she had on her arm after the car ride was full of blood, and she still couldn't get the band aid off, so she wrapped her arm towel kept sopping up blood until finally it quit. She put another band aid over the bloody band aid, and it quit and she was fine. She had no injection site pain, no tiredness, no headache. Lab data included she had MRIs and MRAs, but there was no bleeding. The action taken for clopidogrel was unknown. The outcome of event was recovered.

my head and ears closed down; my head and ears closed down; she doesn't sleep all night long; her body was shaking; my heart was beating out of my chest; felt a little lazy and tired; tinge-y pains in her heart; SVT; shortness of breath; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable consumer (patient). An 81-years-old female patient received first dose of bnt162b2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, Batch/lot number: EL9261, Expiry date: 31May2021), via an unspecified route of administration on 19Jan2021 at Single Dose (dose unknown; by injection once to left upper arm) for covid-19 immunisation, levothyroxine sodium (SYNTHROID), orally from an unspecified date to an unspecified date at 0.75 mg once a day, and orally from an unspecified date to an unspecified date at 0.88 mg, once a day for thyroid disorder. Medical history included cancer, heart stents, irregular high blood pressure, breathing problem, underactive thyroid, back problem. The patient's concomitant medications were not reported. The patient took a flu shot 20 years ago for immunization and got really sick, took Pneumonia shots for immunization and was fine. On 19Jan2021, the patient had a little lazy and tired. On 21Jan2021, her heart was beating out of her chest, like she had a drum going off; beating so fast and rapid it, and her head felt closed off and ears- she could feel heartbeats in her head; on 21Jan2021, her body was shaking. In Jan2021, she had a couple tinge-y pains in her heart and shortness of breath; she had SVG, she thought, it was irregular heartbeats coming from the top of her heart. Details were as follows: On 22Jan2021, she woke up in the morning around 3-4 am and said "my heart was beating out of my chest and my head and ears closed down." The sensation subsided by 8 am. She called her family MD who did not respond so the following Monday she was in contact with her cardiologist who put her on a Holter monitor for a few days. He later told her she had SVT and prescribed a beta blocker for her to take. The patient stated "I am so allergic to medicine." She took Plavix after a stent 5 years ago and was fine taking it for a few years. Then she had another stent placed, was prescribed Plavix again, and was "so sick and dizzy and short of breath - it was the Plavix." States that she can take Cipro, ibuprofen, and synthroid and that her list of allergies is about "2 pages long." The patient wanted to know if she should take the second dose? her cardiologist advised that she not take it. Caller states she doesn't want to take the second dose and probably won't. She had a long history of allergic reactions to medications. She never had the flu, she hasn't had mumps, chicken pox, measles, occasionally, rarely a cold, about 20 years ago, she took a flu vaccine and got so sick after the shot and never took it again, she never got the flu, she does take Pneumonia shots and was fine. States she seems to have a natural immunity against typical disease you can catch. Other things, she had cancer, heart stents, and things of that sort, as far as infectious diseases, she had no problems. She had a reaction she thinks came from the COVID shot. She had a blood test and it showed her thyroid went a bit more underactive, so about 2 weeks ago, her Synthroid was raised from 0.75mg to 0.88mg, so 0.88mg was a new medication, but it was minimal. Communication: Caller was advised to slow down to assure accurate documentation. Synthroid 0.75mg: no NDC, lot, expiry. States this has been her only change in meds recently. She got that Synthroid the same day as she got her COVID vaccination, which was 19Jan2021, that afternoon, she got a Pfizer COVID vaccination. Also she got a prescription for her new Synthroid. The first day, 19Jan2012, she had no reaction at all, she took two Tylenol, someone suggested. She felt a little lazy and tired, for the rest of Tuesday, then Wednesday she felt more tired, she laid around on the couch watching TV, she stayed in her pajamas, had no serious reaction, just tired, then Tuesday and Wednesday, and then on Thursday night, she never did anything on Thursday either, she went to grocery store, was not feeling better, and on Thursday, 21Jan2021, at 3AM, she was awakened from sleeping, she did not sleep all night long, she got up often, her heart, she never had this before and had 3 stents, her heart was beating out of her chest, like she had a drum going off, it was beating so fast and rapid and her head felt closed off and ears- she could feel heartbeats in her head, and this went on, she didn't want to call, she lives by herself on a farm, and thought to wait and see if it goes away, and about 7AM, it was basically really bad from 3AM to 5AM, and at 7AM it went away, the rapid heartbeat was so far throughout and her body was shaking, and chest was so she never had it happen before. At 8AM she called her family doctor office, she wanted to go and see them and she was told she wasn't in that day, they would send a note in the computer to get back with her. The doctor did not get back with her all day Friday, and then she felt ok Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, she had a couple tinge-y pains in her heart and shortness of breath, but her heart didn't feel like it was beating out of rhythm. Then Monday morning she called her heart doctor, he said he doesn't know, it doesn't sound to him like it was the Synthroid, since it was a small change of dose, but he didn't know about COVID but he hadn't heard it as being an after effect, but he said to come by 2:30PM on Monday, to be fitted with a heart monitor, which she wears on her heart and it listens 24/7, listens to her heart function, so she wore that, he said to bring it back on Monday and leave it in the office, and she did that, she wore it Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, she never had that really huge feeling in her in heart anymore, she thought it was a waste of time, then she got a call from the heart doctor on Tuesday, he asked how she was feeling, she said she was fine, and sorry if she caused a commotion and he said she has a heart problem now, she said she didn't feel anything, but her heart is beating erratically, and he doesn't know why she didn't feel it, he said she has SVG, she thinks, it is irregular heartbeats coming from the top of her heart and he says he will send in a prescription to the pharmacy to get a beta blocker, she thinks Metoprolol. The pharmacy just got the medicine in and she is sitting there waiting now. He told her a couple months ago, her heart sounds fine, there seemed to be nothing the matter. She asked if it was the COVID vaccine, he said he doesn't know, and she asked if she should take the second dose on 09Feb2021, he said no, he doesn't think he wants her to take it, she is going to see him in 2 weeks and will try the medicine, but she wanted to report what happened to her. Has Pfizer heard of anyone having rapid heartbeat after COVID vaccination. States she is overweight. Second dose is scheduled for 09Feb2021, at 1PM. Caller states going from 0.75mg to 0.88mg on Synthroid is a minimal adjustment, it can go up to the 200's for underactive thyroid, it's minimum, she is supposed to take it on an empty stomach, first thing in the morning with water. She has had underactive thyroid since she was 20 years old, so for 40 years, and had no problems with Synthroid before. The patient had irregular high blood pressure: it is high during the night and normal during the day, and if she would take, she had been going to physical therapy, she had a back problem, it came from a different thing, her knee is bone on bone, and they want her to get a knee implant, but when she limps on her knee it makes her back, it hurts from not walking straight, so she went to physical therapy, and what was causing high blood pressure, if she took Ibuprofen or Aleve, it would significantly increase her blood pressure, so she has a sensitivity to pain medicine, especially Ibuprofen and Advil, it increases her blood pressure, and often when she doesn't have it in her system, her blood pressure is much more normal. She does not have Ibuprofen, Aleve, Advil to provide lot/expiry, she is in her car. She is interested, she feels she won't take the second vaccine, she wants to see what they say, she also wants to ask how much protection with just the first shot? The action taken in response to the event for levothyroxine sodium was unknown. The outcome of the events heart was 'beating out of chest', 'head and ears closed down' was recovered in Jan2021, of other events was unknown.

So, I went to bed and I felt at least if I fall, I fall on bed and that was the day I was dizzy but then it went away and I have been fine ever since. That began on 24th, the 24th was the first day and I did call my doctor and I have been trying to call here and I never think it through but finally today, sat to watch, hang on to the phone and what I am concerned about is getting my second vaccine. Is there anything I should watch for or tell anybody or, because my doctor said you shouldn't get dizzy but I did?" The patient confirmed the vaccine as Pfizer's Covid 19 vaccine.

The next day I just sat down and rested, I knew it will go away and it did and then 3rd day I went to bed and just thought I would fall and hurt myself and that's everything I did. Well I used to be 5 foot 2 and a quarter but I think I have gotten shorter, I don't know what I really am but little bit shorter than that now and my weight is 100 and lets see, I am going to say 170, I don't think that's exactly right but it's pretty close to that I think, I didn't really weighed myself lately. 5 foot 2 and a quarter that's what I was when I did last but now I shrunk and less than that but I don't remember what I am."

Two days after patient's first vaccine@ about 4 pm, I could tell that something was wrong with her. Every day she and I play cards, but this day she was really struggling. She couldn't figure out where any of the cards went, and was missing every play. I tool her up to lay down. At about 6pm, her eyes looked really glassy and she was unable to speak clearly. Her words were very slurred, and her sentences did not make any sense. I called 911, and they came and took her to the ER. The doctors said that she had a small stroke. She was put on a low dosage of blood pressure medicine, and was hospitalized for 6 days to monitor her. During that time many tests were run on her. 2nd Vaccine- 2-24-21 Two hours after returning from getting the second vaccine, the patient went upstairs to go to the bathroom and she passed out onto the bathroom floor. Again, when talking to her, her words were slurred. She was very weak. I called 911 again. Initially they were not going to take her, but when she went to get up she fell back down. She was too weak to walk, so they took her to the ER again. She was released to go home that evening. Sher saw her primary doctor and was referred by her oncologist to see a hematologist. She endured a three month waiting period until she could be tested for APLS. She will go this Friday to find out the reslts of that test. Additionally, she saw her vascular neurologist, Dr. He looked at her scans and said it was NOT a stroke. He said that her body basically had a surge as a result of trying to fight off the vaccine. He said that the CAT scan that was done at the time she went to the ER the first time did NOT indicate signs of a new stroke, but that what they were seeing on the scans was from her past stroke. Dr. said that he saw no indication that she had another stroke and that her body was just reacting to the vaccine. He said that all of the symptoms that she had were all things that could happen because of the surge.

she is bleeding into the eye and that to her is just, it keeps getting worse; thrombo; elevated potassium; had bruising in the other leg; doctor did PTT, confirmed as PTT, and it was elevated; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable consumer (patient). An 81-year-old non pregnant female patient received the second dose of BNT162b2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 mRNA VACCINE; formulation: Solution for injection, Lot Number, Expiry date UNKNOWN), via an unspecified route of administration at left arm on an unknown date in Feb2021 (at the age of 81 years old) as a single dose for COVID 19 immunisation.

She states this was like what you would get if patient were taking warfarin. it was very concerning now, not only does she have bruising in the leg, but she was bleeding into the eye and that to her was just, it keeps getting worse. She has nothing else to add to that report except that her mom has an elevated PTT, TPTT and states she does not know, it was thrombo. At 81, her mom walks around an hour a day, does aerobics. She was not seeing a hematologist and she was concerned. If she cut herself, she would bleed out.

accompanied with a panic attack; 2nd dose- went into a tachycardia event that was beyond anything she has ever had in the past 40 years; trauma; 2nd dose- extremely exhausted; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable consumer (patient) reported for herself. An 81-years-old female patient received bnt162b2 (BNT162B2), dose 2 via an unspecified route of administration on 15Mar2021 (fairly early in the day) (Batch/Lot Number: EN6198) as 2ND DOSE,SINGLE for covid-19 immunization, at the age at vaccination of 81 years old. Anatomical Location of Administration of Pfizer vaccine considered as suspect: She did not really remember but she tends to think it was in her right arm for both. Medical history included tachycardia (This all started when she was 43 years old, and usually gets them periodically; benign with a regular rhythm), ongoing panic attack had for 40 years, ongoing anxiety (reported as she was an anxious person and at first she thought that it was just her anxiety kicking in but the event was beyond anything in 40 years that she has ever experienced). Historical vaccine included first dose of BNT162B2 on 24Feb2021 (Lot Number: EN6200) for covid-19 immunization and experienced tired a little bit. The patient's concomitant medications were not reported. The patient experienced 2nd dose- went into a tachycardia event that was beyond anything she has ever had in the past 40 years (hospitalization) on 17Mar2021 with outcome of recovered on unknown date, accompanied with a panic attack (hospitalization) on an unspecified date with outcome of unknown, 2nd dose- extremely exhausted (non-serious) on 15Mar2021 with outcome of recovered on 15Mar2021, trauma (non-serious) on an unspecified date with outcome of unknown. Reported as she got her second dose on 15Mar2021 and both her husband and her were extremely exhausted, not sleepy, just tired. They were told to expect that though. There was no pain or nothing at the injection site for her. Then 2 days later she went into a tachycardia event that was beyond anything she has ever had in the past 40 years. She knew how to take care of these events and they are usually accompanied with a panic attack and she can usually calm it with breathing. But this was extreme, it was beyond anything in the past 40 years that she has ever experienced. Her husband took her to the hospital and they checked her out and she was okay and her heart did calm down. But what was interesting was that ever since that event on 15Mar2021 she had not had 1 panic attack or one tachycardia episode. She had a slight one not to long ago but it was not like the ones that she used to get. She used to get these events fairly often in a short period of time. She is not sure if the COVID vaccine did anything, but she was grateful if it did but she just wanted to make that comment about the good. 2nd dose- She was extremely exhausted and this began soon after she had the COVID vaccine fairly early in the day. Her and her husband came home soon afterwards and looked at each other and said that they were tired and it was not sleepiness, it was not like they needed a nap. It was profound tiredness and exhaustion. Her husband had it more so but they were both in bed for a couple hours. Neither had pain in the injection site though. This lasted for several hours into the evening. 2nd dose- Her tachycardia event was on 17Mar2021 which was two days after her COVID vaccine. Her husband took her to the emergency room in the early evening that day and when she got there the event was still occurring but it was not as severe. She was in the emergency room for a couple of hours, so late that night she was released and when she went home she was tired. Which she usually is tired after her tachycardia events occur. But while in the emergency room everything checked out. She confirms that she has recovered completely. She was curious if anyone else has reported anything with this same kind of thing she has experienced. She is amazed because she has had lots of trauma in the last week with her grandson and normally an event like that would have her over the top but she has been calm about it. He was 21 years old and he attempted suicide and she cannot believe it. He was out of state and she was so close to him. At the very last moment he told his dad that he is making a mistake and he just can not stand the isolation from college. This normally would send her into the worst but she has been very calm and maybe it just has not all hit her yet and then also the recent events with her husband would normally make her very frightened. She is glad that she has not had any tachycardia events but this all started when she was 43 years old and she usually gets them periodically. She declined a transfer since it is lunch time and she needs to wake her husband for his lunch. She remembered reading articles while she was waiting for her first dose and tachycardia jumped out at her as a side effect and her husband first thought was that seeing that triggered her but she didn't have anything after the first dose so she dismissed it but then it occurred after her second dose. She was more amazed that she has not had an attack since then and she has not had any tachycardia and she has had them for years and she is just so grateful. The events require a visit to Emergency Room. Not to Physician Office: not really because she did it on her own and then she got in contact with her doctors.

blood pressure went up very high, It went up to about 180, 190 even 200 over 80; Anxiety; Headache; slightly nauseous; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable consumer reported for herself. An 81-Year-old female patient received first dose of BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 mRNA VACCINE; formulation: solution for injection; Lot Number: EL9264; expiration date: unknown), via an unspecified route of administration in left arm on 05Feb2021 (at the age of 81-Year-old) as single dose for Covid-19 immunization.

The patient stated this was the story. She received her two doses of the Pfizer vaccine and the last one received was two and half week ago. Now it's two and half week later and found that number one, after the first dose about 8 days later (unknown date in Feb2021), her blood pressure went up very high. Its normally never get that high. It went up to about 180, 190 even 200 over 80 and then she saw her physician. So, the physician put her on some blood pressure medication, and she got better and then had second vaccine. After that the same thing happen about a week later. Her blood pressure went very high, and she suffered because of it with a lot of anxiety. She wanted to know something about that the blood pressure goes really very high. It was still not regular; it was very irregular. Also, the other thing she wanted to talk about was that when she received the first dose, she had a headache and was slightly nauseous on unknown date in 2021. When she went for the second dose, she did not even look when she was putting a needle in her arm so, felt that the needle went in but shortly after heard her say oh jeez and she know she put it right in her arm, she thought might be she was bleeding, she did not have a look, ended up with a bandage over it and that was it, other day she see it did not have any blood on it. So, one of her friend told her that he had a similar thing happen to him where he felt that some of the vaccine was running down his arm (Further clarification was unknown, hence split was not made) and she was wondering if she got the full dose of the second vaccine, she had absolutely no side effects immediately after over the next day. Also, she took yesterday a test for antibody and that came out negative. The caller wanted to know that if she had antibody now with the two doses. Also asked does the blood pressure go up very high after the two doses. The patient underwent lab tests included antibody test with results shows no antibodies on unknown date, blood pressure (It went up to about 180, 190 even 200 over 80) on unknown date in Feb2021.

My heart rate and blood pressure went up for two days.; My heart rate and blood pressure went up for two days./her blood pressure was 160/82; felt lightheaded; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable consumer or other non-health care professional and other health care professional. A 81-year-old female patient received bnt162b2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 mRNA VACCINE, Formulation: Solution for injection, Lot number: Unknown), via an unspecified route of administration on 19Mar2021 (at the age of 81-year-old) as dose 1, single for COVID-19 immunisation.

Blood clots, strokes, death I believe that there were subtle unrecognized signs starting in March - off balance, slurred speech, confusion- thought to be diabetes related. I would have her check her sugar and it would be fine, but I dismissed it as a good thing that her sugar was ok. It didn?t cross my mind until the major strokes that it could be related to the vaccine. She had major strokes in May as a result of blood clots in heart and head. I strongly believe that her death is related to the vaccine. She was well, and had her diabetes under control, and three months after getting the vaccine, she was dead.

It has not done anything but stayed in the muscle occasionally; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable consumer. This 81-year-old female consumer (patient) reported for herself. An 81-year-old female patient received second dose of BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, Formulation: Solution for injection, Batch/Lot Number: EW0176, Expiration date: 20Aug2021), via intramuscular, administered in right arm on 15May2021 (at the age of 81-year-old) as DOSE 2, SINGLE for COVID-19 immunization. Patient received first dose of BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, Formulation: Solution for injection, Lot Number: EW0164, Expiration date: 20Aug2021), via intramuscular, administered in right arm on 24Apr2021 at 12:15 or 12:30 (at the age of 81-year-old) as DOSE 1, SINGLE. The patient medical history includes Pneumonia cryptococcal (Dormant Lung disease cryptococcus), Osteopenia, Pancreatic disorder, Crohn's disease and Colectomy (2002), Cancer, Diabetes mellitus and Polyp, aphasia and seizures (1996). Dormant Lung disease cryptcoccus, this comes from pigeons, bats and birds poo flying in the air. With allergies the caller breathed it in on some far at the time in year 2000. Checked every year since year 2000. Gastroenterologist after many undisclosed solution for drastic weight loss since year 2018, now several tests have determined the caller's pancreas and stomach are not cooperating with each other. The caller has many issues with what the Gastroenterologist are doing with the caller, she feels like a Guinea pig. Concomitant medications include PANCREATIN (CREON) for Pancreatic disorder, AMITRIPTYLINE for Cerebral disorder and CYANOCOBALAMIN (B12-VITAMIIN). The patient was taking concomitant products creon because stomach and pancreas not cooperating with each other. In relation back up to brain thing drug for that is Amitriptyline. Began taking probably 12 years ago, 10 years ago at least. B12 was taking for memory, began taking probably 4 years ago courtesy of all the testing the general physician had done. The caller states she was lacking in so much and will be on this for the rest of life. Amitriptyline was supposed to take 10mg pill twice a day but don't take twice a day. Caller is getting antsy about putting too many chemicals in the body. When the caller is crying again will take more amitriptyline. So far just upset about current Pfizer situation. Only member to have Crohn's disease and intestines removed. Gall bladder, caller has not gotten. Cancer, diabetes and polyps in family history. On 15May2021, after the vaccination, the patient experienced bad side effects of excruciating pain 3.5 hours later and the pain was for some reason was in left arm. This arm pain lasted off and on for two days. It was extreme pain. It has not done anything but stayed in the muscle occasionally, and the shoulder joint was picking occasionally, on the left and the caller still had the clicking. The pain was a normal like grade of 2 to 3 type pain at the time of this report. Whenever the caller twinges the pain happens on its own. Patient also experienced wobbly ankles, knees and hips. The caller's walking was terrible, caller states this is just persisting but at a lower level. The caller is concerned because she is a fracture risk person because of osteopenia. Patient experienced blurry eyes and tiredness. The caller usually gets blurry eyes when the caller is not hydrated enough because of loss of weight and the ileostomy bag itself is free flowing so the caller's retention is not good to begin with. The caller clarifies the infectious disease doctor when the caller was reviewed in April, prior to receiving the Pfizer Covid Vaccines, knew the caller was under weight and severely effected because the caller wears an ileostomy bag due to Chron's disease and intestines being removed twice. The caller's absorption is not normal to begin with. When the doctor's office authorized the caller to get the Pfizer Covid 19 Vaccine in the first place it was within a 20 minute response time and nobody evidently checked the caller's chart prior to approving the caller to get this serious serious of Pfizer Covid Vaccines. Which is why the caller is so annoyed. The patient fell asleep on the couch with the radio on. The caller woke up to her surprise not knowing that she had even gone to sleep for a God knows unknown period. The caller continued to listen to all her favorite shows on the Saturday night radio and it happened again, the caller doesn't know the time it was the caller fell asleep again, patient also states that she passed out or what the heck ever is going on with the caller's brain. Patient also experienced tiredness, she states she delivered the grocers and unloaded the groceries and was really wiped out. She also experienced impaired driving ability that on the way back from her brothers house she doesn't even remember driving away at about 21:00.

Got her vaccine, came home drove herself, had no problem whatsoever, felt perfectly fine during the day. She then went out, got lunch, brought it home, nothing about the day was out of the ordinary other than the vaccination. She often stays up too late and watches TV in her recliner and falls asleep. She guesses she didn't put things away properly, and the next thing that she remembers was going into the bathroom to get ready for bed, extremely cold evening. She then remembers when she went to hang up fuzzy robe up in the bathroom on a hanger on the doorway, and when she reached up just at that moment she felt herself falling/passing out. She does not remember the moments before or after the event. She fell over her bathtub that was in the doorway, and remembers the pain of hitting the tub. The next thing she remembers is like she was in a dream, and remembers thinking that she had to call her son as she knew she was in trouble. She does not remember dialing his # at that point, but her memory tells her that she told him that she needed him. She was told that was her 2nd call and she does not remember that. She remembers thinking at some point that she was coming in and out of consciousness, and remembers her son didn't come. She called 9-1-1 and remembers talking to somebody and telling them that she could not get up. She answered that she had her door unlocked and remembers that, and apparently told them that she could not stand up. She remembers crawling, possibly to the front door to unlock it. She also remembers telling the 9-1-1 person to tell the sirens off when they get to the neighborhood. They came and took her to the hospital, but doesn't remember that but then suddenly felt like she was freezing, and asking for a blanket, and asked if somebody opened a door. She does not remember the ride to the hospital, going out of her house, just being so cold she was hurting. She doesn't remember anything whatsoever of being in the ER, running tests. They apparently did 2 CAT scans and 2 MRI's, with and without contrast on both. The ER report said that when they got her that she was having extreme chills, and in a stroke-like condition, she could not see and she could not move her body. No tests indicated that she had a stroke. She doesn't think any of them knew that she had the vaccine, they only knew she was a heart patient, and looking for the stroke by doing typical stroke tests. She apparently had called her son first and told him that she was going crazy, and he called his sister, and then she called him again and said that she needed help, and didn't understand what she was talking about. She had no temperature she was told when they took her to the hospital. At some point she then started to spike her fever, which went up to 103. The next clear memory she has is that she woke up on Sunday in the hospital in a pool of sweat after her fever had broken. She also has a memory that she woke up and somebody was touching her in her privates, and there was somebody trying to catheterize her. At first she didn't understand why and then had a vague memory of trying to get a bedpan under her, and decided to catheterize her. She then back to sleep and woke up on Sunday and was completely waking up then and saw her son sitting there. All memories other than this was vague and in and out. After she was awake on Monday they came and did an EEG of her brain, it was normal. She then was given speech therapy on Sunday afternoon, had 10 questions, and answered 9 of them, but on one of them she told them that she could not do that, and did it the next day again and was able to complete that test. When she fell and hit the bathtub she did hurt her arm from her elbow to halfway toward her wrist. Then they discharged her home with someone with her 24 hours a day and could not drive or use the stairs until she had been seen by her family doctor in a week or two to make that she was safe. She had home health care coming in and PT had been coming as well. She had home health still as of yesterday 3/25/21, and PT discharged her as of yesterday. She has been by herself, and is OK to use the stairs and driving again. She has one more home health nurse visit for them to sign off and say that she is now OK. She did get her 2nd vaccine, and she had minor issues, a weird feeling in her head for 12 hours, but nothing bad enough to take something for it. It was a little uncomfortable and out of the norm for about a day, and at one point the next afternoon was making a sandwich and had something that went through her body and felt like she was going to pass out and got into her recliner. She laid down for about 15-20 minutes, it passed and she has been fine. She had somebody stay with her for 24 hours and has done well since. She is convinced that this reaction did come from the vaccine, and that the first vaccine can cause adverse reactions, and that she does live alone and never occurred to her that she needed somebody to stay with her, and now she is afraid to be alone.

Chest xray showed radiographic evidence of pneumonia in RLL but without evidence of acute PE on CT scan. Patient was requiring 15 L of supplemental oxygen to maintain oxygen saturations and so was placed on high flow nc with better response 4/23 remained on HFNC 4/24 BCx from 4.22.21 growing out gram positive cocci in 1/2 bottles 4/26 HFNC at 50% and 45L 4/27 off HFNC and on 6 L NC/ awaiting PT evaluation 4/28 per, OT assessment -- pt dropped into 70's on 6L 02 with short walk to bathroom and toileting tasks. cues for rest and PLB needed to increase 02 into 80s. with a seated rest break over 5 mins 02 increased to 88% on 6L COVID pneumonia (first dose of Pfizer vaccine mid April) S/P remdesivir X 5 days, now on day 8/10 decadron but will go home on oral decadron Acute hypoxic respiratory failure slowly improving (not on home oxygen therapy) now off HFNC, was on 10 L oxymask. Patient's pulse ox this morning at rest on 4 L was 86% but improved to 92% on 5 L NC -will need 5L home oxygen therapy at discharge (new) -discussed the need to follow up with Dr or PCP to wean off supplemental oxygen. Patient agreeable with this plan Transaminitis levels trending downwards. History of thymoma s/p VATS 2011 -outpatient follow up Positive blood culture on admission, contaminant in 1 of 2 blood culture bottles. Repeat blood cultures showed no growth. Not on antibiotics Associated attestation - 04/22/2021 3:39 PM EDT Formatting of this note might be different from the original. Patient seen and examined. Current status reviewed with resident staff. I have reviewed pertinent physician documentation, laboratory and radiographic data. I have initiated therapies based upon this reviewed In brief 82-year-old woman with history of COPD, mediastinal mass status post VATS with benign thymoma with local recurrence presented with respiratory tract symptoms since 6 days prior to admission COVID testing is positive. In the emergency room she was noted be hypoxemic requiring 15 L of supplemental oxygen to maintain oxygen saturations. She is currently on high-flow feels much improved. I concur with exam as per Pulmonary fellow. Laboratories and imaging reviewed in detail. Impression COVID-19 infection COVID-19 pneumonia Severe hypoxemic respiratory failure requiring high-flow oxygen Thrombocytopenia which is new since 2016 and a poor prognostic sign History of benign thymoma with local recurrence COPD with exacerbation Doubt bacterial pneumonia Recommendation: Remdesavir 5 days Corticosteroids. Optimum dosing induration of corticosteroids has yet to be fully defined. Decadron 6 mg daily is reasonable however if develops progressive disease in the next 24 hr would escalate corticosteroids and would also add IL 6 inhibitor Additional minerals and vitamin supple role is unclear but probably benign If thrombocytopenia worsens may need alternative anticoagulation. Would check venous Dopplers Supplemental oxygen for saturations greater than 88% Daily PPI unless anticoagulation intensified then would go to q.12 hours Would favor discontinuing antibiotics

The morning after I received the vaccine, I started feeling tired and my arm was quite sore. The following day, I had a fever of probably 100. I had chills and my heart rate and blood pressure went up. Since I have A-Fib, it was irregular. After several hours, my HR went back to normal and that is when I called my Cardiologist NP. She said that she thinks it's related to the fever I had. The next day, I felt a tad better, but fatigue and generally not feeling well lasted a few days. I feel that it took about a week before I felt normal again. About two months later, I was making plans to go out of town and I became very ill. I started having chills, fever, nausea and extreme fatigue. I may have taken some Tylenol. I was drinking a lot of water because I did not have an appetite. A couple days later I felt a little better so I did not contact my doctor, but I did go to an urgent care (05/22/2021) and had a COVID test. The test came back negative and I felt better two days later. On Monday, I started feeling bad again and I contacted my PCP, and I went to see him on Tuesday. He ran some blood tests and another COVID test, which came back negative. The fatigue just stayed around for quite some time. He monitored my sodium and chloride and they were both low so the doctor wanted them monitored. I was admitted into the hospital for two days. I was on liquid restriction. I had a bunch of tests ran that came back negative. I did have an AMA test which did come back positive. I am still on water restriction, but I am feeling much better. I'm a bit leery about receiving a booster shot.

Tingling lips; nose and cheeks tingling; Chest tightness; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable consumer (patient). An 82-year-old female patient received bnt162b2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH mRNA COVID-19 VACCINE, solution for injection, Batch/Lot Number: EN6206), dose 1 via an unspecified route of administration, administered in arm right on 28Feb2021 (at the age of 82-year-old) administered at approximately 13:30-13:45 (at the age of 82-year-old) as dose 1, single for COVID-19 immunisation. She did not have prior vaccinations in 4 weeks. Medical history included multiple allergies. she had allergies to Penicillin and Sulfa, since in her 40s. Concomitant medications included (procaine hydrochloride) NOVOCAIN taken for an unspecified indication from 24Feb2021 to an unspecified stop date. She had dental work on Wednesday, 24Feb2021, that included a shot of Novocain. She said she wondered if the Novocain shot had anything to do with the COVID-19 Vaccine causing the tingling in her lips, nose and cheeks, since everything she experienced on 28Feb2021 happened in her face area. She did not have the Novocain dose, NDC, Lot, and Expiration Date. The patient previously took codeine experienced drug allergies. She said her second COVID-19 Vaccine was a couple days before the recommended 21 days between COVID-19 Vaccine doses. The patient experienced tingling lips, nose and cheeks tingling, chest tightness on 28Feb2021 at 22:00. She clarified the tingling in her cheeks was higher up around her cheek bones. She said her cheek tingling was not as strong as the tingling in her lips and nose. She had allergies, and was scared, so she went to the emergency room. She clarified her lips, nose, and cheeks tingling started approximately 5 hours after she received her first COVID-19 Vaccine shot. She said she went to the emergency room about 5 hours after the tingling started, at 22:00 (28Feb2021). Treatment was reported as she was given 1 intramuscular shot of Benadryl while she was in the emergency room. She said she did not know the Benadryl dose or the Benadryl NDC, Lot, and Expiration Date. She clarified the intramuscular Benadryl shot did not effect her lip, nose and cheek tingling at all. She said she was wondering if she should get the second COVID-19 Vaccine shot. She was discharged home from the emergency room after about 2 hours. She said she was given a prescription for oral Benadryl 25mg by mouth, four times a day, as needed, for itching and allergies (30 tablets). She said she did not fill the Benadryl 25mg tablet prescription because she did not think the Benadryl prescription was necessary. she also had felt a little tightening in the center of her upper chest area, towards her throat. She said the chest tightening was very slight, so much so, that she thought the chest tightening maybe her imagination. She said the slight chest tightening went away sooner than her lip, nose, and cheek tingling. The tingling in her lips, nose, and cheeks was much less by the next morning (01Mar2021) and was completely gone by noon (01Mar2021). She said she called her dentist on 01Mar2021 to ask if he thought the Novocain could have contributed to her lips, nose, and cheeks tingling. She said her dentist told her he didn't think the Novocain had anything to do with the tingling she experienced after getting the COVID-19 Vaccine. She said she had Novocain in the past, and Novocain had never caused her to have a reaction. The second COVID-19 Vaccine dose was scheduled for 19Mar2021. The outcome of the event was recovered on 01Mar2021 No follow-up attempts are possible. No further information is expected.

She has never reported the side effects that she had, and her daughter told her should have done that. She found her papers and now she is 82 and she got her first shot on 05Mar2021. Patient reported as she felt fine then she got up to leave and her nose started running and it was just like water was pouring out and she made it up to the front and had Kleenexes in her pocket, then started coughing violently, her nose was running violently and trying to come out of her mouth, and she sat down on the chair there and she thought it will pass. she walked out to look for the person that took her out there and she saw exactly where they parked, and her eyes were so foggy she could hardly even see the car. She felt okay then the next day, she got up and her mouth was swollen, just her face and her lips were real swollen. However, her whole face was swollen. she didn't read the side effects to it and thought oh well, it's just some-thing. The next day her blood pressure was going off the wall, her heart rate was horrible, she called the doctor, they wanted her to go to the hospital. The doctor told her to take Benadryl, and Benadryl bothers her, and she said that made her worse. It made her worse. She further clarified made her worse as, it made her heart worse, dizzy and lethargic and she was already tired anyway. she would have been better off not taking it. Her heart rate, which is always normal or very good, and it was like it was going ninety miles an hour. she would get it to slow down then it would feel like it was going 90 miles an hour for a few days then she was really weak and her mind, which at her age she has a very good mind, they tested that, she was having trouble thinking. she guesses she would call it foggy. she wanted to sit down and pay bills, but she couldn't even concentrate. Her question is she had the first shot but now she's afraid to get the second shot because of what it did the first time around. she's afraid it will do double; they say it's a worse reaction. The card that she had, she said that her nose was running so bad, she shoved the card in her purse and looked in her purse later and she can't even find that card. She will say she can't get the flu shot because in the past, she had a very bad reaction from the flu shot, she was questioning whether to get this vaccine or not. It wasn't a live vaccine. she is scared to death of the virus and her kids wanted her to get it now, hurry, hurry, and she thought she would try it. Since she has reactions to suspect product, she's concerned about getting the second one. That was 10 years or more that she had the bad reaction. She is a person that her body is very sensitive. Her doctor has trouble getting medicines she can take. She has a bad back, she has tired every painkiller there is and she can't take any of them, they are worse than the pain. She has trouble seeing too. She keeps every-thing up, they don't give as many papers and it changes every week. She doesn't know how the people in the medical profession can take it, she imagines they change things on them overnight. She has macular. She couldn't understand with that shot why she could see whenever she went in and after she got the shot then everything was fogged when she came outside, but she knows it still wasn't as bad as getting the virus. She's still weak, but she's gotten better. They said she could leave, her nose started running and she started coughing. The girl said is she okay and thought she was, and she made it out then started coughing violently and that water was almost drowning her. She sat down in the chair, and it finally calmed down and got in the car, kept wiping that water with paper towels in her car and coughing and by the time she got home it was slowed down. She is more tired than usual, and her eyes haven't cleared up as good as they should. She doesn't know what that happened, it just came out of there and thought well god what has happened to her eyes. She has an appointment with the Optometrist at the end of April. Another thing she forgot, they are going to think she's looney, she started urinating that evening and she thought, this is not good, something was going on with her kidneys, because it was cloudy-like and had a chemical smell and then the next morning, she still smelled the same thing and her bowels were the same way, just smelled this chemical. That evening her urine was like that and the next morning she noticed it was like that into the next day, whatever was in there had to come out and then her urine and things cleared up. Started on 05Mar2021, that evening, when she urinated before she went to bed it was cloudy and had this chemical smell, maybe it was something she ate or something. The next morning, she urinated a lot and it was cloudy and the bowel movement, it was white-looking and smelled like the chemical and cleared up. She has recovered completely after whatever was in there got out the next day. She states she was okay after she did all that, she cleared up.

After 2nd vaccination - patient was having trouble breathing whenever she worked out in the yard doing minor task such as raking leaves/gumballs. She had 3 or more episodes of feeling light-headed and stopping activity and walking into living room and sitting. Was able to catch breath and didn't want to go to hospital in any of these cases. However on March 8 at 3pm, she felt light-headed but on her way back to her living room, her breathing was disrupted. Her breaths were cut short and she was not receiving much air into her lungs. The breaths were shorter and shorter until she wasn't receiving hardly any air into her lungs. Her face turned blue. She passed out. She had CPR administered about 30 seconds after passing out. Ambulance arrived about 1 minute after passing out. EMT crew worked on her for 18 minutes and was ready to contact coroner when they got a heartbeat. She was taken to hospital on March 8. She was transferred to another hospital later than night. She was sent home for hospice (still unconscious) on March 16 or 17. She passed morning of March 19. Death certificate states cause of death was lack of oxygen to the brain, but no determination was made to what caused her breathing problems, which caused the lack of oxygen to her brain. EMT crew said her symptoms were very similar to blood clot in lungs. Hospital ruled out a blood clot. They also downloaded data from the pacemaker and ruled out A-Fib as the cause. Pacemaker data had indicated a mild event around 3pm on March 8 and sent a shock to her heart but nothing unusual. I believe the hospital also ruled out another cause or two, but never did determine the cause.

She asked if she should go to the doctor. The outcome of the events was unknown.

My mother called me when she was going to get her second vaccination. She was alive and well and living independently at her home. She could walk, talk, make her own food, wash and dry her own clothes and take her own baths. After taking the second vaccination she went down hill. She became sicker and sicker and eventually she started coughing up blood. She decided to go to the hospital, another Hospital of facility. I don't know what the treatment was at that hospital but she was soon transferred to facility and that is where I was notified she was in the hospital and visited her there. After arriving they intubated her and said she had blood clots in her brain and heart. When I saw her after she transferred from Hospital to the Hospital I noticed one arm was swollen. Her legs were as they have been for the last 20 years and looked okay to me--no discoloration other than her regular discoloring at one right ankle and the same old same old slight swelling in the left ankle. The doctors and nurses were putting the blame on her legs but you could tell things were happening else where. But as she got worse and worse at the hospital her right arm become more and more swollen with dark bruises appearing--the hospital staff took pictures. The left arm continued to swell and did not look normal at all. She apparently had bleeding in her left lung from a blood clot. She had three areas of her brain that add clots and some bleeding. She was constipated and gaseous when they cleaned her. They didn't treat her constipation which made being intubated worse because I feel that caused her intestines to swell, thus she also had bleeding in her intestines. My mother died on March 17, 2021 at hospital in ICU. I was told they could not treat the blood clots because of the bleeding in her lung, intestines and brain.

An 83 years old female patient received 1st dose of BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, Solution for injection, Lot Number: EN6202), via an unspecified route of administration on 02Mar2021 at age of 83 years old at single dose for covid-19 immunisation. Medical history included hip surgery a few months ago and she was still kind of stiff and sore. Concomitant medications included lisinopril at low dose 10 mg once daily taken for blood pressure abnormal about 10 years ago; clopidogrel bisulfate (PLAVIX) taken for transient ischaemic attack from 2012 (she believed it was a around that time); acetylsalicylic acid (ASPIRIN LOW) at low dose (she began taking this before the Lisinopril so it has been several years).The patient mentioned that she received her 1st dose of the vaccine on 02Mar2021 and everything was fine that day and the day after. At late in the day on 04Mar2021, she experienced a lot of problems which she mentioned was the worst experience in her life. She was 99% sure it was from the vaccine because she didn't experience anything like that before getting the vaccine. She mentioned that she experienced side effects all night like her heart beating really fast, a headache, a stiff neck, her nerves pounding all throughout her body, and a blood pressure of 174/78. She mentioned that it was the worst she's felt so far as compared to going to the ER, as she's experienced before. She did not go to the ER as she could not drive herself and she was living alone. She mentioned that she better the next day although it was not totally gone, she was a little shake and kind of weak. As of calling, she said that she was feeling okay and better than yesterday (07Mar2021) in which the effects were still present. She mentioned that it was horrible, very scary, she was very ill, very uncomfortable, really bad, and didn't want to go through that again. She didn't know if she would make it through the night. She was asking for what to do and asking if there needed to be an adjustment for her dose because she was a very small person. She didn't want to have the 2nd shot if she went through that again. It was the worst experience of her life. She was not sure what to do now about her second shot. She had the first shot 02Mar2021 and everything was fine, 03Mar2021 she was okay but on 04Mar2021 she had, by night time, she had a lot of scary things that had never happened to her before. Her heart was pounding she could hear it in her ears. Her head, her neck felt stiff and her head felt heavy, her whole body felt heavy and like the nerves in her whole body were just aggravated, it was hard to explain. She had ringing in her ears. Her blood pressure was 174/78 and she was just afraid to have the second shot, it was scary, it was really bad. She was wondering if the amount of the vaccine was too much for her. She confirmed it was the evening 04Mar2021 when all this began. She said all of this was pretty well recovered at this point. She said the day after that happened, she was shaky but today (08Mar2021) she was fine. She did not know what it would be medications they are looking for but she was on normal medicine for old people she guesses. This was so bad that she really was not going to take the second dose unless they can tell her if she should or that they should give her less or something like that. The outcome of events was recovered in Mar2021.

STROKE; Facial droop; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable physician. An 83-year-old female patient received BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 MRNA VACCINE), dose 2 intramuscular on 02Mar2021 (Batch/Lot Number: EM9809) as 2ND DOSE, SINGLE for covid-19 immunisation; and carbidopa, levodopa (DUOPA), via percutaneous j-tube from 2018 (Batch/Lot number was not reported) and ongoing, at unspecified dose for advanced parkinson's disease. Medical history included maternal history of strokes, and paternal history of strokes, both on unspecified dates. Concomitant medication included carbidopa, levodopa taken for an unspecified indication, start and stop date were not reported. Historical vaccination included first dose of BNT162B2 on 20Jan2021, intramuscular, with lot number: EL19261 for covid-19 immunization. The patient experienced stroke on Apr2021 with outcome of unknown, and facial droop on Apr2021 with outcome of recovering. Details were reported as follows: The patient felt like she experienced a mini stroke in Apr 2021. She had her Peg and J tube replaced on 16Apr2021 because they came completely out. Her husband was not sure if the pump was working states he could not saw the medication. Her husband had the pump disconnected from her. NCM advised her husband to run the pump over paper towels. Her husband did as instructed and could then saw the medication. He then connected patient to the pump and the pump ran without any error codes or alarms. Her husband wanted to make sure patient did not need a new pump since she got new tubing. NCM assured that the current pump seemed to be working fine with the new tubing. She left sided mouth droop in Apr 2021. She was taken to the local hospital via emergency medical services (EMS). She was then transferred to Hospital in for evaluation. She was in the ER awaiting a bed for 20 hours. The primary reporter did not know if any tests or medicine obtained as he did not receive any paperwork. After 20 hours, she was discharged from the ER home. She had a brain waves test a few days later to confirm if stroke had occurred. The primary reporter stated he did not feel the COVID vaccine was related to he events of Mouth droop and possible stroke. The patient underwent lab tests and procedures which included brain waves test: results pending on 21Apr2021. The action taken in response to the event(s) for bnt162b2 was not applicable, and for carbidopa, levodopa was dose not changed.; Sender's Comments: Based on information provided, considering the age and medical history of the patient, the event stroke is assessed as unrelated to BNT162B2. The event "facial drop" is assessed as symptom of the event stroke, hence not related to BNT162B2 either. 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.

Six days after the second dose of Pfizer I started experiencing shortness of breath so I went to the ER and took a chest x-ray and had fluid in my lungs. Doctors discovered I had Atrial Fibrillation. In January I had an Echo Cardiogram and none of the previous described diagnoses were present then. I was admitted; doctors attempted to shock my heart back into rhythm several times but were unsuccessful. Therefore, I was put on Eliquis (5mg) and a water pill to get rid of the fluid in my lungs (and swollen ankles). I was hospitalized for 9 days where I was evaluated through numerous tests. Eventually it was suggested that I undergo the Watchman's Procedure to get off blood thinners. Everything went well with that surgery on Thursday May 20th; complications arose after the surgery: heart rate and blood pressure spike, lungs started filling up with fluid. Ended up in ICU for four days. I still have a problem with my lungs despite having no history of lung problems and I am now dealing with AFIB. This all started 6 days after my second shot.

Reported that she was getting the flu vaccine every year, she takes it, and was okay the first time but her arm hurt a little bit and it never hurt. Two years ago, she took it and 2 weeks later felt sick like coughing and her chest hurt and she did not have breathing thing. Coughing and chest hurting led to her going to the emergency because she also fainted, so she called # and they took her to the hospital. She did tests and it was not her heart. They tested her for the flu and she said oh I already got my flu shot and they said well good thing you did. Caller confirms she got the flu after getting the flu shot. Reported that after experiencing labored breathing, chest pain, she called a cardiologist and went to the doctors and was admitted to the hospital for cardiac testing, and complains of labored breathing and fatigue. She wants this documented and has a history of stents in the past but hospital workup was negative. She had a heart attack 3 years ago and has stents in her heart.

The next day, nuclear testing of the heard and all of that stuff and sent her home and said it was not her heart and it was fine. She still had a couple of arteries clogged but not showing any signs of causing problems so they do not have to put a stent in. Caller confirms this was prior to receiving the vaccine because she has arteries clogged but only one with a stent and she still does not need a stent. No history of previous immunization with the Pfizer vaccine considered as suspect. No prior Vaccinations within 4 weeks. Reported that after vaccination they left her there for the 15 minutes and she had no reaction and came home and said my God, I should have done this a long time ago, because her arm was perfect and did not hurt and she had no symptoms till 2 o'clock in the morning.

I just got done going to the bathroom (2-4-2021) and was zipping up my pants when I fainted. I fell backwards into the bathtub knocking down both shower doors. My legs were hanging over the edge of the tub. One shower door fell on my upper right chest area. This happened just over 24 hours from when I received the vaccine. I had not felt bad at all from the vaccine. Didn't sleep too well that night (2-4-2021) because I hurt due to the fall. I called my doctor on 2-5-2021 to let her know I fainted 24 hours after receiving the vaccine and wondered if that was due to it. I do feel weak today (2-5-2021).

Patient reports ongoing generalized weakness and nausea which has required an additional 4 mg Zofran. Given that patient has been monitored for couple of hours and has had ongoing nausea and vomiting, generalized weakness in the setting of hypoxia when taken off of oxygen will obtain troponins and admit patient to the hospital for obs.

Around 4/19/21 pt started experiencing shortness of breath that increased to the point of gasping for breath on 4/25/21. Her daughter (me!) visited and immediately called her pulmonologist who requested she immediately go to the hospital. The ER said she had an enlarged heart, and was checked in to the cardiac unit. Tests showed she had acute systolic and diastolic heart failure. She was first put on diuretics while further tests were done, and Tikosyn was later added to her list of regular medications. Within a week she was able to go home. She was on oxygen prior to this event from the pulmonary fibrosis, and was able to return to her prior settings on her oxygen concentrator within five days, but her ongoing discomfort has stayed at a heightened level, and her level of activity has not returned to her normal. Please note: she is an 84 year old with pulmonary fibrosis. It is not possible for me as her daughter (not a medical professional) to know if the original diagnosis of heart inflammation was related to her vaccination, but she had been relatively stable for more than six months prior to this hospitalization event and the onset of this sequence of events was identified by the doctors as being of unknown origin at that time.

The patient states it's not worsening, she just feels it sometimes then it goes away if she massage it or applies pain ointment.Chest Pain: The patient states her chest is painful, the left side of her chest is very painful. The patient states she doesn't like to receive it because she said she might be allergic because sometimes she's really allergic, but all her friends said she needs to go now, she will be protected and of course she knows that like from the flu vaccine so she searched before she was able to see and she was going to get Moderna so she said she would look for a nearer place near her and so her friend told her to go to pharmacy because she has friends there that would help her and she went there and she got the Pfizer vaccine. The patient states that's because she did not have the pain before that for a long time for many years and now after getting the vaccine, now, she experienced it. All of the events were assessed as Medically significant. The adverse events did not require a visit to Emergency Room or Physician Office.Prior Vaccinations (within 4 weeks), there was no any other vaccinations within four weeks prior to the first administration date of the suspect vaccine.

Confirmed DVT in the left leg; COVID test (PCR swab): positive on 26Dec2020; COVID test (PCR swab): positive on 26Dec2020; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable other healthcare professional. An 85-year-old female patient received 1st dose of BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, lot# ELO140, expiration date: Mar2021), via an unspecified route of administration in arm (deltoid; unknown side) on 23Dec2020 at single dose for Covid-19 immunisation. Medical history included type 2 diabetes mellitus from 2017 and ongoing, high blood pressure from 2017 and ongoing, atrial fibrillation (A-Fib) from 2019 and ongoing. The patient's concomitant medications were not reported. The patient was administered first dose of the COVID vaccine on 23Dec2020 and then was swabbed for COVID on 26Dec2020, and then on 28Dec2020 her PCR swab was positive for COVID. She was asymptomatic until she started complaining of leg pain. She ordered an ultrasound for the patient on 30Dec2020, and it confirmed a deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in left leg. The patient was being treated with anticoagulant apixaban (ELIQUIS) currently. Caller stated that this could be that it (DVT) is from COVID, but her real question was, could it be from the vaccine? In Pfizer's information packet for patients, there is section on what to tell your provider prior to getting vaccinated. One of the things on there is if you have a bleeding disorder or are on an anticoagulant. There is no explanation as to why it was in the packet of information. Caller has looked everywhere and can not figure out why that is on the FAQ/packet information. The patient was due for the second dose on 13Jan2020, but she was worried and hesitant to approve it. The patient underwent lab tests and procedures which included COVID test (PCR swab): positive on 26Dec2020, ultrasound of the left leg: confirmed DVT on 30Dec2020. The outcome of events was not recovered.; Sender's Comments: There is not a reasonable possibility that event "COVID test (PCR swab): positive" is related to BNT162B2 vaccine. The event occurred 3 days after vaccination, when vaccine was not expected to achieve the effect. The event DVT of legs is not considered related to BNT162B2 vaccine. The patient had underlying diabetes and cardiovascular disorders, which are considered as risk factors for DVT. 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.

An 85-year-old female patient received her 1st dose of BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, lot number: EL8982) at single dose via an unknown route injection in left arm on 23Jan2021 around 08:15 for Covid-19 immunization. Medical history included ongoing blood pressure high which was controlled with medication, allergic to penicillin and acetylsalicylic acid;ascorbic acid (ASPIRIN). She had lost weight and shrunk according to when she went to the doctor 2 months ago. No other products were taken.

No other vaccinations within four weeks prior to the first administration date of the suspect vaccine, no events following prior vaccinations. No family medical history relevant to the events. Patient passed out on her way home on 23Jan2021 (unknown time). The event required a visit to Emergency room, but not a Physician office. The event clinical course was as follows: She got the first dose of the Covid-19 vaccine on Saturday 23Jan2021. Patient reported that after being monitored at the vaccination site for 20minutes, she left to go catch the bus and fainted before boarding the bus. She remembered getting on the bus, but did not remember crossing the street. She passed out and was unconscious. An ambulance was called and they took her back to the hospital where she got the vaccine. She was taken by ambulance back to the ER, stayed for half the day, she received IV fluids, and a brain scan due to her fall. She stated that she still feels kind of weak as of 29Jan2021. She did not know what time it happened, because she lost her sense of time on that day because she did not remember. When she got to the hospital she woke up and wondered where she was because she did not remember what happened. They got an x-ray of her head to see if she had bumped it, but it was negative. She did have a bruise on both knees. They gave her IV fluids, and kept her there for a little while, then sent her home. She called her doctor the next day, but he was busy, so she talked to the nurse. No treatment was recommended, just said to get a lot of rest. She was scheduled for the 2nd dose on 13Feb2021 and was scared to death. Patient verified that she was not admitted to the hospital. Investigation assessment were performed. They hooked her up to the monitor, did an x-ray and a CT scan while at the hospital on 23Jan2021 which were normal (both fine), and gave her IV fluids. Outcome of fainted, fall, passed out and was unconscious was resolved on 23Jan2021. Outcome of kind of feel weak was not resolved. Outcome of the other event was unknown.; Sender's Comments: Considering the temporal association, a causal association between administration of BNT162B2 and the onset of fainted and unconscious cannot be fully excluded. The underlying history of high blood pressure for this 85 years old patient might provide an alternative explanation.

She has had heart tests before. They checked her out last year 2020. On an unspecified date in 2020, they did a stress test and everything was fine. Everything was fine until last week. Everything was normal before that. The atrial fibrillation started last week. She decided to wait another week to see what happened. Then yesterday, the atrial fibrillation started again with all sort of swiggles. Her watch shows afib or inconsistency. It has been off the wall yesterday and today. She didn't have a prescribing doctor. The health department put up a screen on their website for people 80 and over so she signed up. She goes to the doctor this Thursday. She has diabetes, but it was under control. She takes insulin and Humalog for extra coverage. Her blood sugars have steadily been higher than normal. She took her heart rate on and off last week. It was over a couple of days. Her heart rate was erratic, but not as much as yesterday and today on an unspecified date in Feb2021. Her blood sugar was steady in 160s where it was normally lower in the 120s, 130s, and 140s on an unspecified date in Feb2021. The outcome was not recovered for atrial fibrillation, and unknown for erratic heart rate and blood sugar levels increased. No follow-up attempts are possible. No further information is expected.

An 85-year-old female patient received the second dose of BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, solution for injection; Batch/Lot Number: EW0162), via an unspecified route of administration, administered in left upper arm on 10Apr2021 at the age of 85-years-old as single dose for COVID-19 immunization.

The patient got the first Pfizer vaccine on 20Mar2021 and was alright for a few days afterwards. Then all of a sudden, she started getting infections on 28Mar2021, 8 days after she had the first vaccine. She got a real bad bladder infection then she went to the doctor and she got medication for that. She was with bladder infection then she came down with the viral infection. The patient reported that she has not even been going anywhere because of the virus and she has been staying home. She just goes to the grocery store and clinic to the doctor, that was it. The patient had an antibiotic for the bladder infection. Sulfamethoxazole was the name of the medication that was for bladder infection. They didn't give the medication for the viral infection. The patient reported that it was just a viral infection, it was not the Covid. Since then, she had her second dose of the vaccine on 10Apr2021 and from an unspecified date in 2021, her foot started, her foot swelled up and she didn't know. She takes lot of retention pills, so she thought maybe it was that. So she took her pills and everything and washed and start getting but the next day instead of the foot going down, the swelling went up to her leg and then the next day it went all away up to her hip. The swelling on the left side from the foot all away up to the hip. She went to urgent care on 21Apr2021 (reported as "21st") and saw a doctor and she was tested and she had blood clots. Regarding lab test, the patient reported she had two infections and then she got the blood clot that was from her hip all the way down to her left leg to her ankle. She could not figure out that they called the test and what they tested. But they had a lab work done then one has a test, veins, and everything. She can't remember. The patient reported that her foot and her leg was swelled, her toes all over up to her leg swelled. She had a fat foot and a fat leg just one side. She would say since she has started taking medicines for that, she took the first dose at the evening of 21st (21Apr2021), the day she went to the urgent care, and she would say it was not any worse. The medication was supposed to break up the blood clot, but it was the big one from her hip all the way down to her foot. Just a little bit better. The outcome of the events was recovering.

It was the worst night she has had, and she is 86 years old, and has had a multitude of serious issues but that shot was the worst. It was a combination of high blood pressure, over the top, and insomnia like she couldn't budge and open her eyes, she couldn't see anything but squares, it was like a horrible, if there is such a thing as a trip, a horrible trip, something she can't imagine wishing on anyone. The county administered it, she has several doctor, she initially provides her primary care doctor, for consent to contact, but says her nephrologist would be better, as she hasn't seen her primary care doctor in some time.

Diarrhea; Vomiting; Weak; Found Slumped Against the Wall; Low Potassium; MRI Found Multiple Small Emboli in Brain; thrown more clots; Aphasia; Difficulty Walking; potassium dropped and she went into A-Fib and threw clots; potassium dropped and she went into A-Fib and threw clots; has problems with recent memories; confusion; food sensitivities; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable physician (patient's daughter). An 86-year-old female patient received her second dose of BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, lot number and expiration date were not provided) at the age of 86-years-old, via an unspecified route of administration on 24Mar2021 at 14:00 at single dose for COVID-19 immunization. Medical history included high blood pressure diagnosed in 1971 (reported as 50 years ago) and ongoing; type 2 diabetes in 2011 (reported as 10 years ago) which resolved in 2019 (about 2 years ago) after the patient lost some weight; she had an episode of A-Fib in 2019 when her potassium was low (lower than the current hospitalization), once the potassium was corrected, her A-Fib resolved. The physician stated that patient has shrunk and was now about 5 foot 2 inches. Clarified that this has not recently occurred since the vaccine; stated it was happening just with age. The patient received her first dose of BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, lot number and expiration date were not provided), via an unspecified route of administration on an unspecified date at single dose for COVID-19 immunization. The patient's concomitant medications were not reported. The patient did not have any issues with the first dose of the vaccine. She received her second vaccine dose on 24Mar2021. The physician spoke with the patient on Friday, 26Mar2021, and the patient was fine. On Saturday, 27Mar2021, the patient had an episode of diarrhea, vomiting and was weak. The lady cleaning the patient's house found her slumped against the wall. The physician met them at the hospital and said the patient seemed okay. They thought it was just an issue from her potassium being low on Mar2021, so they gave her that. The hospital did a CT scan that showed nothing on Mar2021. The hospital did an MRI of the head that showed multiple small emboli in the brain on Mar2021. The physician believed that the patient must have thrown more clots because she became aphasic on Mar2021 and could not name things. The patient also had difficulty walking on Mar2021. The physician felt it was important to call and report this since she has heard of people throwing clots with vaccines. The physician did not know if the events were related to the vaccine. The patient was in the hospital for 7 days (as reported). She was now able to walk with some assistance. The patient's son thought that the patient was okay when he went to see her. Since the reporter was a physician, she knew which questions to ask the patient and saw that she still had some problems. The patient could remember some things but has problems with recent memories on an unspecified date in 2021. She also has some confusion on an unspecified date in 2021, such as she thought she was in a boat hospital. The physician was uncertain if the vomiting and diarrhea was somewhat better. They were wondering if the patient has some food sensitivities (2021). The patient also had carotid studies done in the hospital on Mar2021 and they were fine. They believed that patient's potassium dropped, and she went into A-Fib and threw clots on Mar2021. The clots must have come from the heart valves since the carotid studies were fine and if the clots had been in her legs, they would've gone to her lungs not to her brain. The patient underwent lab tests and procedures which included CT scan: negative, potassium: low, carotid studies: fine, MRI of the head: multiple small emboli in brain, all on Mar2021; and potassium: low, height: 5 foot 2 inches (shrunk), and weight: lost, all on an unspecified date. The events diarrhea, vomiting, weakness and fall required emergency room visit. The outcome of the event difficult walking was recovering and unknown for all other events. The events diarrhea, vomiting, weakness, fall, potassium low, cerebral embolism, thrombosis, and "potassium dropped and she went into A-Fib and threw clots" were assessed as serious due to hospitalization and being life threatening; and the events aphasia and gait disturbance were assessed as serious due to hospitalization. All other events were non-serious. The patient was hospitalized from 27Mar2021 until 02Apr2021. Information about the lot/batch number has been requested.

blood clot; Sciatica; She then got sciatica in her leg and couldn't walk; charley horse in her lower leg while walking; soreness in arm / pain in her foot / lower leg/calf still hurt; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable nurse (patient). This 86 years old female patient received the second single dose of BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE; lot EN6203) on 04Mar2021 at 11:00, in left arm, for COVID-19 immunisation. No other vaccines were administered on the same date. The patient received the first dose of BNT162B2 vaccine intramuscular, on 11Feb2021 at 18:30 (lot EN6201). The patient received some years ago an unspecified pneumonia vaccine and an unspecified tetanus vaccine experiencing after both headache, swollen arm and rash. She didn't react to the flu vaccine. Her body didn't want any more vaccine. Concomitant medications were none. On an unspecified date in Mar2021, maybe a week or two after the second vaccination, early to mid afternoon, the patient had what felt like a charley horse in her lower leg while walking, but didn't pay any attention to it, just put ice on the leg. She then got sciatica in her leg on 24Apr2021 and couldn't walk; that was what sent her to the hospital as it was getting worse and she went to the hospital because of the pain. She just ignored it for at least a week but she was still having pain after the second week and could hardly walk due to the sciatica in that leg. At the hospital they found she had a blood clot in the calf of her leg on 28Apr2021. She was hospitalized from 28Apr2021 to 02May2021. The doctors in the hospital recommended that she should report her experience even though they didn't know if it was due to the COVID vaccine due to the proximity. The hospital doctors took care of her but her primary care provider knew that she had been in the hospital. The doctors gave her medications in the hospital that helped the pain in her foot and the sciatica but her lower leg/calf still hurt so they decided to do an ultrasound and found a blood clot. The patient still had to give herself injections in the belly for blood thinner to treat the blood clot. The patient also experienced soreness in arm on an unspecified date in 2021. Sciatica required ER visit. Blood clot was resolving. The other events outcome was unknown. The doctor said that there was a possibility that the blood clot could be related to the COVID vaccine, but it may not be related at all.; Sender's Comments: Based on the information provided by the reporter, including a prolonged onset latency of nearly two months, it appears unlikely that BNT162B2 contributed to the reported events. These are likely intercurrent medical conditions in this elderly patient. This case will be reassessed upon receipt of additional information. 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.

We were not super concerned as we were expecting the second shot to cause body aches or flu like symptoms based on what we had heard from others who had received both vaccine shots. She continued to be unsteady and we found that she has a mild UTI which we had begun treating with prescribed antibiotics. Late afternoon on the 11th, mother suffered a major stroke. we did not take her to the hospital because we had already been told that they would not be able to do anything at her age should she suffer a stroke. On the 12th I called the doctors office and asked for them to send Hospice to the house as we could tell that she was dying. Mother died on the 13th. Just a week prior to her death I had spoken with Dr. and we had discussed how that she was declining in health but that she was not even close to needing Hospice, yet she is dead a week later. Less than 2 weeks after getting her second Covid Shot.

Dizziness; Pain in the lower extremities; pain in feet; legs hurt; Felt poorly; Blood pressure which was up a little but not terribly; Left arm where she got the injection was sore (localized pain); This is a spontaneous report from a contactable consumer (patient's sister). An 88-year-old female patient received the first dose of BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE; Lot Number: EL3249), via an unspecified route of administration in left arm, on 13Jan2021 07:45, at a single dose, for COVID-19 immunization. The patient's medical history included atrial fibrillation, hypertension, bypass in 2010, hearing is very bad on the phone, arthritis pain, headache, and blood thinner. The patient's concomitant medications included metoprolol for hypertension, quinapril for hypertension, acetylsalicylic acid (BABY ASPIRIN) for hypertension, ascorbic acid/ calcium/ minerals NOS/ retinol/ tocopheryl acetate/ vitamin B NOS/ vitamins NOS/ zinc (CENTRUM SILVER), calcium carbonate (CALTRATE), atorvastatin, warfarin as blood thinner, spironolactone, and paracetamol (TYLENOL) for arthritis pain and headache; all were ongoing. The patient received the first dose of the BNT162B2 vaccine on 13Jan2021 and had reactions to the vaccine or something else. That day, the patient's left arm where she got the injection was sore (localized pain), but that was expected, and it went away within 2 days (initially didn't report it because it was expected). Yesterday (18Jan2021), the patient experienced dizziness and pain in the lower extremities. Last night (18Jan2021; about 6 days after the injection), the patient woke up, felt poorly, and was very dizzy (feeling of dizziness), then, later on, had pain in both lower extremities. The patient took her blood pressure which was up a little but not terribly with result of 159. The patient's heart rate, temperature, and pulse oximetry were okay on 18Jan2021. She then walked to the bathroom, came back, and went back into bed. The second time she said her legs hurt but this morning she is feeling better than she was. Today (19Jan2021), the pain in feet is better, and the dizziness is gone. Pulse oximetry and temperature were okay this morning (19Jan2021). The patient was wondering if these effects could be related to the vaccine, since the dose was received 6 days ago. The patient was not sure if could possibly be related to the COVID-19 vaccine or if it was that she spent a lot of time doing paperwork on the computer yesterday (18Jan2021) and perhaps that caused some of the symptoms. The patient's sister called to ask if Pfizer has heard of any late adverse effects from the COVID-19 vaccine like this patient's, 6 days later. The patient was scheduled to get the second dose on 04Feb2021 (day 22) and her sister asked what if it's not available. The patient's sister was concerned about interval and potentially being unable to gain access to the second dose due to supply issues. The patient recovered from "Left arm where she got the injection was sore (localized pain)" on 15Jan2021; and from "Dizziness" on 19Jan2021. The patient was recovering from the other events.

Got a sensation in her nose, throat and upper chest like it was warm, and there was dryness; Got a sensation in her nose, throat and upper chest like it was warm, and there was dryness; Got a sensation in her nose, throat and upper chest like it was warm, and there was dryness; Lips felt funny; The arm that was a little sore; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable consumer (reporting herself). A 88-Years-old white female patient received first dose of bnt162b2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 mRNA VACCINE, Formulation: Solution for injection, Lot number: EL9266, expiration date: 31 May 2021), via intramuscularly in left arm on 14Feb2021 at a dose of 0.3ml as a single dose for COVID-19 immunisation. The patient's history included allergies to Penicillin, Cortisone, and she thinks also to Lidocaine, maybe. The patient did not have any NDC numbers, Lot numbers or expiry to provide for any of these products, as it was years ago. The patient did not receive any other medications. On 14Feb2021 about an hour after she got her vaccine; the patient had waited 40 minutes after getting the vaccine shot, and nothing happened, so she left, and while she was on her way home, she got a sensation in her nose, throat and upper chest like it was warm, and there was dryness. The patient previously used to get allergy shots because she was allergic to horse flies, and within 24 hours of being bitten, she would have hives the size of dinner plates. The patient went through allergy shots for 10 years and then she moved away and was no longer near water, so she did not think she needed the shots anymore. The patient had been getting the shots for 10 years, she would start to get where her lips felt funny and stuff after getting the shot, and her reaction to the COVID vaccine, felt similar to that, but it had dissipated within a half hour. This was probably respiratory and was not major, her nose did not close up, but it did get dry. The event resolved within an hour. The patient inquired with three physicians about if she should get the COVID vaccine, because she had an anaphylactic experience 40 years ago, before she was going to the allergist, and she had to go to the ER (emergency room), and they gave her whatever they did, Epinephrine or whatever it was, but that experience felt like she was being blown up like a straw was in her body. The patient inquired with these different physicians about told them about her experience from years ago, and what their suggestion would be, and they told the patient to go for it with getting the COVID vaccine, because it anything were to happen, it would be within 15 minutes of getting the shot, but the patient's was more than 15 minutes after getting it. The patient got the hives to the horse flies, it was usually within 24 hours. The patient did take an EPIPen with her when she went to get the COVID vaccine, because she was concerned she would have a reaction, but did not end up needing to use it. The outcome of the events was recovered.

Patient received second vaccine dose and felt well without significant symptoms in the days following. Then, on 2/19 she developed epistaxis, brusining, and petechiae. She had labs drawn by a local provider and platelet count was 7. (baseline, even on chemotherapy for her AML is in the normal range). Therefore, she reported to a local health center and a recheck of the platelet count was <3k. WBC and Hb were within normal range. No circulating blasts or other evidence of AML. No recent infections or other exposures. That center reached out for transfer to our hospital as we initially diagnosed and treated her AML. I advised dexamethasone 40mg and transfer (they also transfused 5u platelets prior to her departure) Upon arrival at our center about 12hrs later, platelet count was 210 and on 2 rechecks it has remained in the normal range while continuing dexamethasone 40mg daily. Bleeding symptoms ceased and she was discharged in stable condition. She plans to return back to home after discharge with repeat lab testing later this week after stopping steroids. Chemotherapy to be held at least one extra week to ensure stability.
