His caregiver had Covid recently and he was exposed. He was admitted for further evaluation and treatment. Hospital Course: Patient was admitted inpatient to the medical surgical floor. He was not on telemetry. Patient reports that his caregiver had recently tested positive for Covid and he was exposed. He has been having upper respiratory symptoms including cough, sneezing, and runny nose. His COVID-19 test was positive. He was started on the COVID-19 treatment protocol which included IV remdesivir and IV dexamethasone. He underwent a CT scan of the chest which showed small patchy areas of groundglass infiltrates in the peripheral portions of the left and right upper lobes and also the posterior aspects of the right lung base. These findings are probably due to pneumonia. Hospital course consisted of gentle hydration with IV normal saline. He was also started on antibiotic therapy oral azithromycin and IV Rocephin. He had completed the course of antibiotics while on the unit, therefore, at the time of discharge no antibiotics were prescribed. He initially was hypoxic and started on nasal cannula oxygen to maintain pulse oximetry greater than 92%. Eventually, oxygen was weaned and pulse oximetry on room air has remained in the 95-96% range. He has a history of diabetes mellitus and while on the unit blood glucose levels have fluctuated. His point-of-care glucose have been in the 80-500 range. He has had numerous episodes of hypoglycemia and insulin has been adjusted. The fluctuations of the blood glucose levels may be secondary to IV dexamethasone. At the time of discharge he will continue dexamethasone 6mg daily for the next three days. He was advised to increase insulin 70/25 insulin five units daily for the next thre days. After that time he can return to his normal dose of insulin. He also had been treated with IV remdesivir and had completed the 5-day course. On examination today he has been asymptomatic. He denies any chest pain, dyspnea, abdominal pain, nausea, or vomiting. The initial lab studies showed an elevated creatinine level, although he has a history of chronic kidney disease. At the time of discharge the creatinine level trended downward and he was advised to follow-up with the primary care provider for possible repeat BMP in 1 to 2 weeks. All other lab studies have been within normal limits. The systolic blood pressure has been in the 120-150 range. The most recent systolic blood pressure was 151/66 mmHg with a heart rate of 66 bpm. He denies any lightheadedness or dizziness. He was advised to continue all of his current medications. While on the unit he was in isolation secondary to COVID-19. At the time of discharge he should maintain social distancing/isolation, mask wearing and good handwashing. He will will need to follow-up with the primary care provider. He was also advised if the oxygen level dips below 89% he will need to return to the emergency department. At this time he is resting comfortably, offers no complaints and is stable for discharge.

They kept me in the hospital for 3 days because they wanted to keep me in observation before they put the pace maker in.

spiking of his blood pressure; sore arm; legs swollen; pain on one leg; on and off nausea; not feeling right; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable consumer (patient). A 77-years-old male patient received bnt162b2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 mRNA VACCINE), dose 2 via an unspecified route of administration on 24Feb2021 (Lot number was not reported) at the age of 77 years, as a single dose for COVID-19 immunization. The patient medical history and concomitant medications were not reported. Historical vaccine included BNT162B2, dose 1 on unspecified date for COVID-19 immunization. On an unspecified date the patient experienced spiking of his blood pressure, sore arm, legs swollen, pain on one leg, on and off nausea, not feeling right. The patient had lab tests and procedures which included blood pressure measurement: 190/80. The clinical outcome of the events was unknown. The clinical course was reported as follows: 77-year-old caller reported receiving his second dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine 24Feb2021 and experienced a "sore arm" after. He explained that a week after vaccination, on the Monday, he " woke up with his legs swollen and pain on one leg". He stated he also experienced spiking of his blood pressure (BP), however on Monday 03Mar2021 he went to the ER since his BP rose over 190/80. He explained at the ER, he guessed they got him more call, and he received a prescription of "water pills" to take for "a couple weeks". He added then, there were moments when he "didn't feel right". He specified he would be "good" in the morning then he "just didn't feel right" in the afternoon. He reported about a month later, 13Apr2021 he had a "second incident with the spiking" of his BP, which led him to the ER. He explained his cardiologist then changed his amlodipine prescription to "5mg in the morning and 5mg at night". He explained he would take 1 pill of Amlodipine 10mg in the morning before vaccination. He added he would take 5mg of amlodipine for a year before being increased to that 10mg a day. He explained before vaccination, he "never experienced such spiking with his BP and considers himself healthy for his age. DSU agent reported his BP is generally around 120/70 and he routinely use the treadmill. He mentioned he now seems ok, has not have a "violent" BP spike, but has "not felt 100%" yet. He added some days he is "fine" and others he has "on and off nausea" or he "feels his legs are swollen in the evening". The main reason for his call is to see if Pfizer have any experience with people who have covid, the long haulers, with the effects for quite a while, that are 3 months in. He was wondering whether or not any long hauler folks that have had on and off side effects attributed it to the vaccine. Information about Lot Batch number has been requested.

For two days after the vaccination I had A-fib, then it went away. I have been monitoring my blood pressure and EKG since and the A-fib is becoming increasingly common, so that now I seldom had sinus rhythm.

This is a 77 years old gentleman with a history of COPD presents to the emergency department because of shortness of breath and chest pain. Patient states that he was in his usual state of health and suddenly developed shortness of breath and chest tightness. By the time of my evaluation he no longer has chest tightness. He was recently in the hospital and treated with antibiotics for Pseudomonas pneumonia. He is reportedly compliant with his COPD medications at home. He normally wears 2 L nasal cannula at home. Currently he is on the BiPAP and reports feeling better after treatment in the emergency department. He was given IV steroids, bronchodilator therapy. He was also given IV antibiotics given recent history of Pseudomonas pneumonia. Of note patient states that for the past week his bilateral ankle appears to be more swollen and he is on Lasix started by Dr. from pulmonology for this. 6/21/21: This patient with a history of COPD, atrial fibrillation on anticoagulation and chronic dementia, was again admitted 6/16 with increasing shortness of breath and chest pain. It was noted that his COVID 19 test was positive. He was started on IV Remdesivir, but since his COVID 19 test has been positive since March of this year was felt that he did not require additional treatment. We are treating him for an exacerbation of COPD. His chest x-ray was actually normal with COPD but no signs of infiltrate, heart failure or effusions. He is on apixaban for atrial fibrillation and should not have a pulmonary emboli. He was getting IV Lasix, but the BUN and creatinine were rising. We have obtained an echocardiogram to see if there is a degree of systolic heart failure. We will continue the IV antibiotics and steroid therapy. The patient seems comfortable at rest but is on 5 L nasal cannula. The patient reports that he is on 3 L of oxygen at home all the time. I called to talk to the good friend who is listed as the 1st contact and reviewed the situation. He does live by himself but has 24 hour a day care. We discussed that our goal was to get him back down to 2-3 L of oxygen. There seems to be some improvement but if still requires 5-6 L of oxygen, we will ask for a pulmonary consultation. I have talked to the pulmonary team several times unofficially for advice and they seem to have nothing else to offer at this time. Again today the patient seems comfortable and is warning why he can go home.Admitted and treated with bronchodilators, steroids, BiPAP and levaquin. Echocardiogram repeated. By the time of admission, chest pain resolved. Oxygen requirement stay high at 5 liters. Today improved to baseline 2 L. Discharged home.

This 78-year-old male patient received the first dose of BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, Lot number EK5730), via an unknown route, on 17Dec2020 at single dose for COVID-19 immunisation. Age at vaccination was 78-year-old. The patient was diabetic and hypertensive. Additional medical history included hyperlipidaemia. No relevant concomitant medications were provided. On 18Dec2020, the patient developed severe achy cramps/severe cramps all over body. On 19Dec2020, the patient developed achy. On 20Dec2020, the patient was dehydrated and hypotensive, he had also chills. On unknown date, blood pressure was down to 76/50. His symptoms for COVID were severe achy cramps, hypotension, and dehydration. On 20Dec2020, COVID-19 test was positive. On 21Dec2020, the patient was given monoclonal antibodies. A computerized tomogram (CT) of the lungs was performed on 21Dec2020 and it was ok. A week later (Dec2020), he had a repeat CT which showed increased infiltrates of 10 to 15%. He then started on dexamethasone, apixaban (ELIQUIS) and the rest of the things. He had a repeat CT on 05Jan2021 which showed resolution of the infiltrates; most of the lesions went gone. CT results had improved significantly. The patient underwent a second COVID test a week ago which was still positive. He had a third COVID on 06Jan2021, but results were not available yet. The patient queried if he can proceed with second dose planned on 07Jan2021 or if he should wait. The clinical outcome was recovered for the event 'severe achy cramps/severe cramps all over body' on 19Dec2020, for 'dehydration/dehydrated' on 20Dec2020, for 'chills' on unknown date in Dec2020, for 'achy' on 30Dec2020, for 'hypotensive' on 20Dec2020; the outcome of the event 'CT showed increased infiltrates 10-15%' was recovering; the outcome for 'Tested positive for COVID-19' was unknown. The reporter considered the events 'achy' and 'severe achy cramps/severe cramps all over body' serious because causing disability; the events 'tested positive for COVID-19', 'dehydration/dehydrated', 'chills' and 'hypotensive' were considered medically significant. The reporter considered the events 'Tested positive for COVID-19', 'CT showed increased infiltrates 10-15%' and 'dehydrated/dehydration' unrelated to BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE).; Sender's Comments: A possible contributory effect of suspect BNT162B2 on reported events cannot be excluded. Case will be reassessed when new information is received. 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.

He was supposed to have the Shingrix vaccine but decided to hold off on that until after he got the Pfizer COVID-19 Vaccine. He had the Flu vaccine around Sep2020 or Oct2020 when the senior version came out. Ongoing Concomitant medications included: losartan 100mg daily from 2019 for high blood pressure, furosemide (LASIX) 20mg daily from 2019 for high blood pressure causing some fluid buildup, fenofibrate 134mg daily for years for triglycerides, finasteride 5mg daily for years for benign prostatic hyperplasia, multivitamins, boosters of other vitamins (advised by PCP since COVID pandemic started), insulin lispro (HUMALOG) fast acting insulin taken as needed for diabetes, insulin glargine (TOUJEO) slow acting insulin taken as needed for diabetes. It was reported patient stated, he had his first dose of the Pfizer vaccine a week ago Friday 29Jan2021 at 10am. He had a sore shoulder and fatigue. At midnight he suffered abdominal cramping by 7am. He took himself to the ER and called his doctor who met him there. He had an intestinal blockage. His peristalsis shut down. He spent a couple days on an NG tube, had x-rays and imaging study, they found a small bowel blockage. It seemed very coincidental within 18 hours of the vaccine. He had them when he was younger. His physician who was an GI specialist said he had 2-3 other patients with similar reactions. He spoke to the safety team regarding this. He was due for his 2nd vaccine a few weeks. Right now his bowels were very irritated, not consistent to bowel movements. He was still on a low fiber diet. Asked if there was any evidence people are having gastrointestinal reaction. He had had blockages in the past, that was his weakness. Asked what to do about 2nd dose. He had asthma, diabetes type 2, mildly hypertensive. This consumer had his first dose of Pfizer COVID-19 Vaccine 29Jan2021 at approximately 10:00. On 29Jan2021 at about 23:30, he had went through usual drowsiness and took a nap. Around midnight 00:00 30Jan2021 he started having abdominal cramps that became very severe. He was taken to the Emergency Room where he was admitted to the hospital from 30Jan2021 until discharged home evening of 03Feb2021. Severe abdominal cramps: His peristalsis stopped, just shut down. As a result he had an intestinal blockage. He had nasogastric tube placed for 4 days. He was scheduled for surgery with a gastrointestinal surgeon who he happens to know personally. He had called that gastrointestinal surgeon before he was admitted to the hospital. The gastrointestinal surgeon thought he heard some sounds, so he delayed the surgery. That night the intestinal blockage broke up. He was discharged from the hospital before they normally would have released him to get people out as quickly as possible due to risk of contagion in hospitals. Both he and the gastrointestinal surgeon are very concerned about him having the second dose of Pfizer COVID-19 Vaccine as scheduled which is due in like 1.5 weeks. The plan at this time is for him to go on a liquid diet 2 days before the second dose so that there is nothing in him to create intestinal block. Outcomes of events: Bowel movements are irregular because just starting to get back into eating really for a few days. The first few days home he was on a soft diet of basically jell-o pudding and broths. He is on an ultra-low fiber diet right now so it's a different diet than he is accustomed to. Some of what he is eating goes right through, other times there is no bulk to come out; he kind of feels like he is constipated but it is just that there is nothing there. Doctor later this week will determine how much he can normalize his diet. Metamucil which a lot of diabetics do, doctor did not want him to take that until everything settles down. He feels bruised; his guts just feel bruised; he thinks from just the pressure there and getting in and out of the hospital bed was horrible. When he called doctor before he went to the hospital 30Jan2021, doctor told him this is coincidence, that this patient was the third that he has had who in 24 hours has had significant intestinal or bowel reaction; that he is not the first who has dealt with severe gastrointestinal problems following the Pfizer COVID-19 Vaccine. Caller clarified he has no first hand knowledge of those other patients/events/products, this was just mentioned to him by the doctor over the phone. He had no further information to provide for this report; but doctor might be able to provide further information. Relevant Tests: they did a COVID test when he was admitted to hospital 30Jan2021, gave results when he left the hospital-took them 6 days-unknown result. They did X-rays and scan of his abdomen to monitor intestinal blockage-results unknown. Blood work done but nothing remarkable there-results unknown. His blood pressure actually was low while in hospital-specific results unknown. Glucose levels were very high while in hospital which he is sure was because they had him on an IV drip that must have had glucose in it because he was not eating anything and when in pain and anxiety his sugar goes up-further details of results unknown. Patient had no further information to provide regarding testing/investigations/lab work, blood work, imaging, x-rays, etc for this report. Outcome of events were reported as unknown.

Subsequently autopsy was performed which revealed significant pre-existing hypertensive and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease with evidence of acute myocardial infarction. There is no clear evidence that this is related to the vaccination, however it is being reported due to potential public health interest and temporal proximity to vaccination.

A little over a week ago I was admitted to a local hospital having been diagnosed with Guillain?Barré syndrome, a debilitating condition where the body?s auto immune system attacks the nervous system resulting in peripheral numbness in one?s hands, feet and legs. This condition was diagnosed by a neurologist. Following his diagnosis, I spent 8 days in the Hospital and was treated for 5 days with a daily dose of 400ml of immune globulin (IVIG) to rebuild the damage to my nervous system. On April 10, I began to feel the onset of Guillain Barré syndrome as the bottoms of my feet suddenly began to tingle and feel numb. The next day I tripped while returning our waste management garbage cans to our garage. Fell face forward onto the driveway and was bruised pretty bad. The next day my BP zoomed to 224/160. 911 was called and I was taken to our local hospital fearing and thinking that I was having a heart attack. I spent 4 days in the hospital being checked for a possible heart attack and all the while my Guillain Barré syndrome was progressing undiagnosed. I was discharged and instructed to see a neurologist for the tingling and numbness in my hands, legs and feet. Within 15 minutes of the neurologist consult, a few days following my discharge, I was told I had Guillain Barré syndrome and get to a hospital. I left his office and went straight to the emergency room and I spent the next 8 days there and was discharged Tuesday, 4 May 2021. Several hospital neurologists treating me believed the vaccination triggered the syndrome as do I. It's not being widely reported even though there have been several Facebook postings of people saying the same thing as me.

DVT was twice as bad; death/natural process; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable Nurse reporting for reporter's husband. A 78-year-old male patient received bnt162b2 (reported as COVID vaccine), dose 2 via an unspecified route of administration on 20Mar2021 (Lot Number: EN6201; Expiration Date: 30Jun2021) as 2nd dose, single (at the age of 78-year-old) for COVID-19 immunisation. Medical history included diabetes, Liver cirrhosis, thrombocytopenia, Kidney stone, sarcoidosis, blood pressure abnormal, high cholesterol, pacemaker and they putted the IVC filter for blood clot. Concomitant medications included insulin, simvastatin, hydrochlorothiazide and omeprazole (PROTONIX), all taken for an unspecified indication, start and stop date were not reported; and carvedilol (COREG) taken for blood pressure, start and stop date were not reported. The patient previously received the first dose of bnt162b2 (Lot Number: EN6201; Expiration Date: 30Jun2021) on 27Feb2021 at the age of 78-year-old for COVID-19 immunization and experienced pulmonary embolism and deep vein thrombosis (DVT) on 12Mar2021, and went into the hospital 12Mar2021. Then the patient had the second COVID shot on 20Mar2021 and the reporter had taken him right back into the hospital couple days later because the DVT got twice as worst. The patient experienced DVT was twice as bad on an unspecified date in Mar2021, which required hospitalization on 22Mar2021. The patient underwent lab tests, he had lab tests on 22Mar2021 when he went in and he probably had them on 23rd and 24th of Mar2021. The reporter didn't know what all the lab tests were done in the hospital. The patient died on 12Apr2021. The reporter stated they put Reason of death as natural process because she sent him in the Hospice. An autopsy was not performed. The outcome of event DVT was unknown. The reporter considered there was a causal relationship, when he got his second COVID shot on 20Mar2021 and then he went back in the hospital on 22Mar2021 and the DVT was twice as bad.; Sender's Comments: Based on a positive temporal association, a possible contributory role of the suspect BNT162B2 cannot be excluded for the reported 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.; Reported Cause(s) of Death: death/natural process

It never happened before and has not occurred again since the beginning of April. Second symptom which was not reported was a raw feeling in the center of the chest between the lungs. This had never occurred before and started April time frame and as of late June has disappeared. Third symptom is getting out of breath with what I would consider minor exertion. Discussed with primary care and heart doctor both considered it to be age-related. But walking 200 yards and being out of breath for someone that is not overweight seems unlikely.

This is a patient who presented to the ED with a cc of dyspnea and was found to have left central main pulm artery/left upper lobe/left lower lobe PE's and also has a large clot in transient in his RV. There is no provoking risk factor that I can clearly identify (no recent surgeries, trauma, immobilization, or active cancer). He does have a remote cancer hx of bladder cancer in 2015. He is a former smoker 20+ years ago. However, he is at risk for VTE events by being a ERSD patient and also there's increased risk for VTE for pts >70yo. His COVID vaccination a few months ago is a potential contributing risk factor, will report to VAERS

He notes that he has not been very active since receiving the vaccine. CT PE study showed an increased RV to LV ratio 1.2. He had no elevation in his troponin or BNP. His echocardiogram showed an EF of 60% and there were no wall motion abnormalities and grade 1 diastolic dysfunction. Patient would prefer Eliquis at this time. He will need a 6 month course of Eliquis. Given the setting of recent COVID vaccination and recent decreased mobility as possible provoking factors, this will be treated as a provoked pulmonary embolus. Per hospital COVID vaccine protocol, patient presentation will be reported to pharmacy for FDA reporting.

he fell in the bathroom and passed out; he fell in the bathroom and passed out; tested positive for Covid; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable consumer (patient's son). This consumer reported similar event for two patients (father and mother). This is the first (father) of the two reports. A 79-year-old male patient received BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE; Dose 1) via an unspecified route of administration, administered in the left arm on 26Mar2021 (batch/lot number: ER8727) at 79 years old as SINGLE DOSE for COVID-19 immunization. Medical history included ongoing AFib (atrial fibrillation) diagnosed between 1 and 2 years ago. Patient also has a pacemaker from an unknown date. Patient was exposed to COVID-19 prior to vaccination. Concomitant medication included apixaban (ELIQUIS) oral from an unspecified start date and ongoing at 5 mg twice a day taken for AFib (atrial fibrillation). On 07Apr2021, the patient was admitted to the hospital due to a fall; he fell in the bathroom and passed out. The patient is on Eliquis, so they were worried about bleeding. He tested positive for COVID on 07Apr2021, this was the same day he was admitted to the hospital. He was discharged on 10Apr2021 and was improving. It was reported that the reporter (patient's son) tested positive for COVID on 27Mar2021, so it was likely his parents were exposed or infected prior to their first dose of the vaccine. The reporter confirmed he has not been vaccinated. The patient was due to get the second shot today, but the reporter cancelled the appointment since his dad was still in quarantine. The reporter heard different things about when to get the second dose, everyone says to wait 90 days, they're getting mixed information, then he has heard 3 weeks is long enough to wait. The reporter wanted to know when his dad can get the second dose of the vaccine after having the COVID-19 infection. The patient is recovering from "he fell in the bathroom and passed out." Outcome of the event "tested positive for Covid" was unknown. This case involves a Product Complaint: Consumer reported that his father and mother tested positive for Covid infection on 07Apr2021 after receiving the first dose of the Pfizer COVID vaccine on 26Mar2021. It was not provided if a sample of the product was available to be returned, if requested and if packaging was sealed and intact.; Sender's Comments: Linked Report(s) : US-PFIZER INC-2021443810 same reporter, same drug, same event, different patient

embolic stroke; blood clot; His major issue was speech and wasn't able to formulate any words; left sided weakness on his leg; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable nurse (patient's daughter). A 79-year-old male patient received BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE), via an unspecified route of administration on 30Mar2021 11:00 (Batch/Lot number was not reported) as 2nd dose, single dose (at the age of 79-years-old) for COVID-19 immunisation. Medical history included transient ischaemic attack (TIA) from 2019 to an unknown date, mild hypertension, idiopathic neuropathy: in the left leg, started in the beginning of the year from 2019, melanoma removed in the 1970s, enlarged prostate, neuropathy, cholesterol and fluid retention. Ongoing concomitant medications included tamsulosin taken for enlarged prostate; gabapentin taken for neuropathy; candesartan taken for hypertension; pravastatin taken for cholesterol; acetylsalicylic acid (BABY ASPIRIN); and furosemide (LASIX [FUROSEMIDE]) taken for fluid retention. The patient has been taking all of his meds for quite some time, over 5 years. The patient did not have prior vaccinations within 4 weeks. The patient received the first dose of BNT162B2 on 09Mar2021 10:30 for COVID-19 immunization. The patient completed the Pfizer COVID vaccine series, the second shot was on 30Mar2021. On 09Apr2021, the patient had an embolic stroke. The patient's daughter stated that the patient has a history of TIA in 2019 and was concerned. She does not know if it was related. She added it might be that if people have previous risk, there may be some precautions, like to take a full dose of aspirin before, a week before. She sent an e-mail last 05May2021 and hasn't gotten a response back. The patient went to the ER due to embolic stroke and was in the hospital Friday (09Apr2021) through Wednesday. The patient went to the stroke rehab center for 3 weeks. The daughter clarified that the patient was in the hospital until 14 or 15Apr2021 before being transferred (also reported as 5 or 6 days and in rehab for three weeks). Then was discharged last 06May2021. The patient's condition seemed to be getting better. His major issue was speech and wasn't able to formulate any words. He was able to speak now. His rehab would be a lot of neurological rehab and speech therapy. The patient previously had left sided weakness on his leg from some random thing that happened. It didn't seem to get worse. It really affected his speech and cognition. The patient's daughter thought that the embolic stroke was related to the Pfizer Covid vaccine and added that thought was in some way but cannot say in what way. She thought that it exacerbated some type of blood clotting. She stated that he never had blood clotting issues before and was the type of person that would take a baby aspirin and get a nose bleed, he was the opposite of a clotter. An MRI in the hospital showed blood clot and stroke. He had blood work but does not know what it showed and presumed he was fine (unknown results). He has never really had any kind of blood work issues and does not know why he was on cholesterol medication. The patient required emergency room visit for embolic stroke.

1 significant episode of asymptomatic Supraventricular tachycardia; transient ischemic attack; seizure-like shaking; shaking episode arms going up and down; extremely tired; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable physician (patient himself). A 79-year-old male patient received bnt162b2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE), dose 2 via an unspecified route of administration in Feb2021 (Batch/Lot number was not reported) at the age of 79-year-old male as single dose for covid-19 immunisation. Medical history included ongoing diabetes type two from 30 years, ongoing hypertension from 15 or 20 years ago, depression from 20 years ago, hyperlipidemia from 15 to 20 years, orthostatic hypertension (had it off and on for years; but it got bad in the last couple of months), pain and radiculopathy. Concomitant medication included metformin (1000 mg) taken for diabetes from an unspecified start date and ongoing (taking for years); glipizide (4 mg) taken for diabetes from an unspecified start date and ongoing (taking for years); lisinopril (10 mg) taken for hypertension from Mar2021 and ongoing; duloxetine (60 mg) taken for depression and pain from an unspecified start date and ongoing (taking for years); gabapentin (NEURONTIN) taken for radiculopathy, start and stop date were not reported. The patient previously took flu shot for immunization and took dose 1 of bnt162b2 in Jan2021 for Covid-19 immunization at the age of 79-year-old. Physician was calling regarding the Pfizer BioNTech COVID 19 vaccine. He had a very strange experience; added he was a physician and in reasonable good health. He had mild side effects, not much; the one side effect he did have was one week after the second shot he and his wife both felt extremely tired the whole day from Feb 2021. Physician mentioned that 4-6 weeks after getting the 2nd dose, he had a 3-5 minute episode of seizure-like shaking, shaking episode arms going up and down on 21Mar2021 and that he was just blankly staring and non-responsive. He had no other symptoms to suggest a seizure; no biting; no urination. This episode lasted three to five minutes. During the episode his wife said he was just staring ahead and he was non responsive to his wife who was only six inches away speaking to him. Then he started to vaguely he heard his wife's voice in the distance and then he woke up and then he was fine. Later that day he was hospitalized, they did a work up and discharged him about 4 days later. While in the hospital he thought he had a Blood work, CAT Scan; MRI; holter monitor; EEG but they were all normal. He had no other complications and the effect completely went away. Adds he was completely recovered when it went away. At discharge they put him baby aspirin, 81mg enteric coated aspirin once daily, and gave him a tentative diagnosis of transient ischemic attack (TIA). This further resulted to being hospitalized for 3 days but his physicians were not able to see anything significant on his MRI, 72 hours EEGs and telemetry tests (everything was normal). However, during his out-patient visit, his physician mentioned that he had 1 significant episode of asymptomatic Supraventricular tachycardia that may be causing the seizure (inconclusive). They further specified to him that it was not much of a tonic clonic seizure. He also verified that he only had 1 episode of the mentioned event, no other side effects experience and been feeling fine since then. After discharge he had a work up on the outside including a 72 hour EEG; 72 hour holter with the only thing that was abnormal that one run of 3 beat supraventricular tachycardia that was asymptomatic. His doctor put him on Metoprolol 12 mg once daily at night by mouth to help prevent arrhythmias as well as control his blood pressure. He had previously taken lisinopril. He added the only thing he knew that he never had anything like this before in his life. Patient mentions he was at a good weight now as he lost 40 pounds last year for his daughter's wedding. He added sometime in the last 6 to 8 months he had severe left side radiculopathy and was taking small dose of gabapentin. He did not remember if it happened before or after the vaccine but he went to see a pain specialist. The medication worked and he tapered it down and discontinued it. It may have been before the vaccine, he is unsure. But the medication worked like a miracle as he had intractable pain down his leg. All events resulted in emergency room. In line with this, he would like to know in relevance to the news of Pfizer releasing a possible booster dose, if there are any reports of anything that may be related to seizure and/or Transient ischemic attack (TIA) of cardiac origin or a like. Extremely tired was reported as non-serious, other events was serious and caused hospital from 21Mar2021 to 24Mar2021. Outcome shaking episode arms going up and down was recovered on 21Mar2021, of extremely tired was recovered in 2021, of other events was unknown.; Sender's Comments: There is no reasonable possibility that the events supraventricular tachycardia, seizure, tremor, and transient ischemic attack happening 4-6 weeks after vaccination were related to BNT162b2. It is more likely to be complications of pre-existing conditions of hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and diabetes. Advanced age may have been contributory as well. 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.

heart attack; chest pressure; hardly slept; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable consumer (patient's wife). An 80-year-old male patient (reported also as 81-years-old, to be clarified) received the first dose of BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, Lot # EL3246), via an unspecified route of administration, on 13Jan2021 at single dose for COVID-19 immunisation. Age at vaccination was 80-years-old. Medical history included ongoing emphysema and ongoing diabetes (caller has been diagnosed for 35 years for both conditions), heart was damaged because of the diabetes, and a history of bypass 4 years ago however he hasn't had any issues with chest pressure since before the bypass. Concomitant medications were none. On 15Jan2021 at 1:am he developed pressure in the chest which ultimately resolved. This trouble last night, lasted over 1 hour. He couldn't get back to bed. He had to sleep sitting up on the sofa. That was the only way he was comfortable. Her husband has hardly slept. She was seeing how he was doing. He said he was okay sitting. The pressure on his chest would go away while he was sitting, but laying down it would come back. This morning (15Jan2021) she made him check when he woke up at 8 o'clock. She made him lay down, and he said it was gone after sitting the whole night. He is well now. He is feeling fine. He didn't even ask for help getting on his clothes. He got the vaccine because of his age and because of underlying conditions. Her husband has done very well this year. He even has underlying conditions. He has had Emphysema for 35 years, but it hasn't been bothering him. He has also had diabetes for 35 years. The reporter spoke to her husband's hcp (nurse) who said it could have a heart attack and for him to go to hospital if it reoccurs. She did speak with a nurse with his primary doctor, and she said the pressure in his chest for 1 hour could have been a heart attack. That if it occurs again to give him the nitroglycerin. She told the nurse it wasn't pain. The reporter stated chest pressure could have been a heart attack. He is scheduled to get the 2nd dose on 21Jan2021. The reporter was wondering if her husband can have the second dose given it has potassium in it (given he has bypass history). The reporter is afraid the vaccine is not safe, and they may not go for the second vaccine. She wants more information if it is safe. The events recovered on 15Jan2021.

The patient was stabilized and transported to our local hospital and upon arrival, he was effectively comatose with a GCS 3. CT Head notated an extensive subarachnoid and intraventricular hemorrhage most probably related to a bleeding anterior communicating artery aneurysm. Neuro-Interventional Radiologist dictation reads "Hunt Hess 5 Fisher grade 4 extensive subarachnoid hemorrhage with intraventricular hemorrhage and early hydrocephalus secondary to rupture of a known anterior communicating artery aneurysm. Initial ICP after EVD placement noted to be in the 120s now 68 treatment complicated by aneurysm rerupture after admission and increased volume of blood although large volume of hemorrhage was seen on initial scan and no change in the patient's clinical exam on her scale was noted due to this rerupture. Patient's exam and prognosis are poor giving extensor posturing lack of extraocular movements to doll's maneuver and weak pupillary reflex as well as cough and gag. Follows no commands or instructions at this time with no spontaneous movement on ventilator set at 12 overbreathing at 14-16 at this time without any sedation."

Patient is an 80 year old male who has a history of multiple medical problems, including body mass index of 30, hypertension, dyslipidemia, giant-cell arteritis on a slow prednisone taper (currently 2 mg daily), past pulmonary embolism on warfarin, sleep apnea, history of diverticulitis (treated in August 2020), past abdominal surgeries (including umbilical hernia repair ×2 and open recurrent incarcerated epigastric hernia repair with mesh in October 2020), chronic anemia, and type-2 diabetes. The patient had received the first dose of the COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) vaccine on January 31, 2021 and the second dose on February 21. He presented to his primary care provider?s office on February 22, 2021 with complaints of 10 days of progressive weakness and muscle soreness. The weakness had reportedly involved the bilateral thighs and arms and was associated with muscle aches. Blood pressure measured 90/40 mmHg and examination was notable for symmetrical proximal weakness in the upper and lower extremities. The peripheral blood leukocyte count measured 3.5 x10e3/µL, hemoglobin 8.3 grams per deciliter and platelets 147 x10e3/µL. A peripheral blood smear was consistent with neutropenia and normocytic anemia with 9% circulating blasts. Total CK measured 1424 U/L. The patient was referred to hematology/oncology and rheumatology and had appointment scheduled for both on February 26. With the above background, he presented to emergency room on February 24 with altered mental status and continued weakness. He was taken to the hospital by emergency medical services. A temperature of 103 degrees Fahrenheit was recorded when emergency medical personnel had arrived. The peripheral blood leukocyte count was 1.4 x10e3/µL for an ANC of 0.8 x10e3/µL. Hemoglobin was 8.1 g/dL and platelets 111 x10e3/µL. A few schistocytes and teardrop cells were noted. The serum creatinine was 1.47 mg/dL. AST was 174, ALT 91 and alkaline phosphatase 93 U/L. The lactic acid level of the venous blood was 2.1 mmol per liter. A repeat total CK was 4631 U/L. Sedimentation rate measured 34 mm/h and CRP 52.3 mg/L. Urinalysis showed 0-2 wbc?s/hpf, 0-2 rbc?s/hpf, 3+ blood, negative nitrites, negative leukocyte esterase. A haptoglobin level of the blood was within normal limits. The lactic acid level of the venous blood was 2.0 mmol/L. LDH measured 838 U/L. A ferritin level was 3464 nanograms/mL. A test for COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) was negative. A chest radiograph showed minimal streaky right basilar atelectasis, trace left effusion and a mildly enlarged cardiac silhouette. A head CT showed no acute abnormality. An abdominopelvic CT without contrast was limited by motion artifact. No acute intra-abdominal or pelvic finding was noted. Nonspecific soft tissue stranding was seen in the right inguinal region. There was no soft tissue gas or drainable fluid collection. Cultures of specimens of the blood were obtained. The patient was started on empiric cefepime, vancomycin and doxycycline and admitted for further care. A peripheral blood smear for intracellular parasites was negative. The admission blood cultures came back positive for E. coli. With the blood culture results, the vancomycin and doxycycline were discontinued. The E. coli isolate has since been determined to be pansusceptible. A MRSA PCR of the nares was negative. He was found on exam to have swelling, cellulitis and exquisite pain of the right groin area on February 25. Surgical consultation was pursued. They did not feel that he had necrotizing fasciitis. The CT scan of the abdomen and pelvis was repeated with contrast, revealing increased extensive subcutaneous edema of the right groin region with extension into the thigh musculature and mild extension into the right inferior pelvis. There was no associated soft tissue gas or drainable abscess. A bone marrow biopsy was performed February 25. Results showed acute undifferentiated leukemia with 60-70% infiltration of the bone marrow with blasts. The blasts were negative for lineage markers. He was faintly CD33 positive. He is felt to likely have acute myeloid leukemia. Cytogenetics are pending.

On 3/24 he was found out to be having confusion, family called EMS. They tried to debride patient on his feet and he collapsed for about 10 seconds. He did mention that he usually get dizziness/lightheadedness upon standing from bed. Although patient has a history of A. fib but remained rate controlled during hospital stay, we held his antihypertensives including HCTZ and ARBwhile continued his Eliquis. I believe his syncope was likely due to dehydration with decreased oral intake in the setting of acute illness with COVID-19 symptoms. Before discharge is blood pressure was rising so his ARB were restarted while decision regarding HCTZ will be made by primary care physician. In regard to his COVID-19 infection, initially was started on 2 L of supplemental oxygen but his oxygen demand decreased rapidly and most of the time he remained room air, he was not showing any dyspnea, cough, fever or any other generalized symptoms of Covid 19 infection. He did get plasma and remdesivir while inpatient, decision was made to discharge him on 3/26 as patient was symptom-free. He also had received first dose of vaccination. I believe that he would need further remdesivir. We will continue him on steroids for now after completion of dexamethasone for next 8 days he can recent resume his home medication of prednisone.

coughing; Pulmonary embolism/ respiratory impairment; Sinus infection; Was cold and so cold to the touch/ couldn't get warm; tired; Didn't feel good; just wanted to stay down and didn't want to get up/ just couldn't wake up; eat very little and he didn't like to eat; color was off, looked grey; Pressure in lower stomach; Lost weight; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable consumer (patient's wife). An 80-year-old male patient of unspecified age and gender received the first/second dose of BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, batch/lot number and expiration date unknown) via intramuscular at left arm on 02Feb2021 10:00 (80-year-old at time of vaccination), at single dose, for COVID-19 immunisation. The patient's medical history included Stents from 2005 (a stent placed in 2005; a heart attack in 2017 and additional 5 stents were placed in 2017; a stent placed in his neck in Nov2019); Heart attack from 2017; Reaction to contrast dye from 2005 (has a reaction to the dye that they use for stents; had a stent placed in 2005 and had a reaction to the dye then; a mild heart attack in 2017 and did stents; once again had a reaction to the contrast dye); Sensitivity to bug bites (When the patient got big bites, you would think someone had beat him he had so many knots; the last few years the patient's reaction to bug bites got much worse); High blood pressure. Additional information for other conditions: The patient was very highly allergic or has a reaction to the dye that they use for stents. The patient had some heart stents and he had bad reactions to the contrast used. The patient was allergic to different things. The patient couldn't take codeine. When the patient got big bites, you would think someone had beat him he had so many knots. Reaction to contrast dye: the patient's physicians then wanted to do imaging with contrast dye on the patient's neck. Physician put the patient on a cocktail for 24-48 hours before the stent was placed and the patient still had a reaction. The patient was given a cocktail of Benadryl and 2 other medications that she cannot remember. The patient's reaction to the dye was not as bad as the first 2 but he still had one. The patient had the stent placed in his neck in Nov2019. The patient still had a reaction to the contrast dye, a mild reaction, even with the cocktail. The reaction was enough the patient was told to continue taking the medication afterward. The patient always carried a nitro bottle in his pocked but he never took any of them. They asked how the nitro tablets were and they were powder. They were blessed as far as the patient's heart. Concomitant medications included cetirizine taken for allergy problems; amlodipine taken for high blood pressure for years; acetylsalicylic acid (ASPIRIN) (for the arteries, just to keep the blood thin, the patient began taking aspirin after experiencing side effects from Effient). The patient previously received codeine and experienced sensitivity (Couldn't take codeine, goes way back, 40-50 years). The patient previously received prasugrel hydrochloride (EFFIENT) from 2017 and experienced shortness of breath (The patient was put on Effient after his stent placement in 2017. Doctor took the patient off of Effient and instructed him to just take aspirin because the patient was showing side effects of shortness of breath and different things. Doctor informed the patient that he would rather the patient just take Aspirin than have the side effects from Effient). The patient previously received the first dose of BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, batch/lot number and expiration date unknown) at left arm on 12Jan2021 (80-year-old at time of vaccination) for COVID-19 immunisation and experienced "so excited" (the patient was so excited after the first shot of the COVID-19 vaccine). The patient previously received tetanus vaccine toxoid (TETANUS) shot for immunisation (20 years ago at least) and experienced "Couldn't move arm, arm swelled and turned red and was messed up for a while". Prior vaccinations within 4 weeks was none. Patient's wife reported that she and her husband (the patient) took the COVID-19 vaccines on 12Jan2021 and 02Feb2021. After his second dose, the patient kept telling her that he didn't feel good and that he was tired (from 03Feb2021). The patient just did not feel good. The patient was cold and so cold to the touch (from 03Feb2021). On 03Feb2021, he was dragging. The patient just wanted to stay down and didn't want to get up. She asked the patient if this was going to keep him in the room all day. The patient replied that he just couldn't wake up. The patient was tired and cold and couldn't get warm. The patient lost 30 pounds (in Feb2021) after he got the second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. The patient walked around holding his pants up. The patient would eat very little and he didn't like to eat. When he was weighed at the doctor on Friday 02Apr2021, he weighed 136 pounds fully clothed. The patient normally weighed 150-160 pounds. The patient had lost a lot of weight. The patient's color was off, stating that one of her friends said the patient looked grey. The patient experienced pressure in lower stomach (in Feb2021). The patient told her that in his lower stomach, he described it as pressure, and the patient thought he was just kind of sore from coughing from the sinus infection. The patient couldn't stand clothes to touch him and would cut holes in his underwear elastic so that it wouldn't press into him. The patient went to the doctor twice from the time he took the second shot of the COVID-19 vaccine to his death (on 04Apr2021). The patient went to the clinic. The clinic thought the patient had a sinus infection (from 27Mar2021) and gave him a shot that would make him feel good. The patient got a shot on 27Mar2021. She wasn't sure what the shot was and she didn't get a print out. They treated the sinus infection with amoxicillin-clavulanate (875mg-125mg, manufacturer is Teun). The amoxicillin hadn't worked well and the patient went back to the clinic a second time on Friday, 02Apr2021. When the patient went to the doctor on 02Apr2021, they were unable to get a register on the finger pulse-ox monitor. The patient's physician did an X-ray (on 02Apr2021) and the X-ray was perfectly fine (normal). Nothing showed up on the X-ray at all. The patient passed away easter Sunday morning (04Apr2021). The cause of death listed on the patient's death certificate is due to consequence or problem of pulmonary embolism (from 04Apr2021), respiratory impairment. The patient did not receive an autopsy. The family didn't feel the need and the staff didn't even ask if the family wanted an autopsy. "When you live to be 80 years old, you're blessed." HCP: The patient's heart doctor did not see the patient on 04Apr2021 before he died. The last time the patient saw the doctor was Dec2020. The wife reported that she is not complaining, the patient made the decision to take the shot, she is just concerned that the patient had something that could help someone else. The wife stated she was not trying to complain at all, she took the COVID-19 vaccine right beside him and had no consequences. She didn't even have a sore arm. The family is just concerned that there is an ingredient in the COVID-19 vaccine or something that could trigger that in them. Yesterday, 23Jun2021, they were showing a lady on TV that was so sick (unable to provide details). "The patient" (unknown to which patient this is referring) got the shot and ended up in the hospital with side effects. The wife reported that's why she wanted to let Pfizer know about her husband. She was just reporting the patient's symptoms and was not wanting to hurt anyone's feelings in the world. She is not blaming the COVID-19 vaccine for the patient's death, and stated that it could have been his heart or more anything. She just felt like she needed to let pfizer know some of the side effects the patient was having that didn't start until after the second COVID-19 shot. The wife unable to provide the NDC number, lot number, or expiry date of the patient's COVID-19 vaccines. She does not have the information but her son does have that if Pfizer wanted to call and talk to him. The adverse events did not require a visit to emergency room; the adverse events requiref a visit to physician office (The patient went to the clinic 27Mar2021 and went back 02Apr2021 for Sinus infection). Therapeutic measures were taken as a result of the event sinus infection and included a shot and amoxicillin-clavulanate. The outcome of the event pulmonary embolism/ respiratory impairment was fatal; outcome of other events was unknown. The patient died on 04Apr2021. No autopsy was done. The cause of death was pulmonary embolism/ respiratory impairment. Information on the lot/batch number has been requested.; Reported Cause(s) of Death: Pulmonary embolism/ respiratory impairment

shortness of breath; The shortness of breath has continued and has gotten a little worse; Nasal congestion; Coughing; heaviness in chest; It was like lumps; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable consumer or other non hcp (patient himself). A 80-years-old male patient received bnt162b2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 mRNA VACCINE, Formulation: Solution for injection), dose 2 via an unspecified route of administration, administered in Arm Left on 13Feb2021 12:10 (at the age of 80 years old) (Batch/Lot Number: EL9269; Expiration Date: 31May2021) as single dose for COVID-19 immunisation. Previously the patient received bnt162b2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 mRNA VACCINE, Formulation: Solution for injection), dose 1 via an unspecified route of administration, administered in Arm Left on 23Jan2021 (at the age of 80 years old) (Batch/Lot Number: EL3248; Expiration Date: 30Apr2021) as single dose for COVID-19 immunisation. Medical history included Heart bypass, it was 18 years ago. It was a aortic valve replacement, ongoing lymphoma cancer, and it is gone at this point, had shingles on the right side in 2015, skin cancer in both ears in 2016. Concomitant medications included ongoing warfarin sodium (COUMADIN), ongoing warfarin deanol, ongoing carvedilol, ongoing atorvastatin calcium (LIPITOR ORIFARM), ongoing atorvastatin, ongoing hydrochlorothiazide, triamterene (TRIAMTERENE & HCTZ), ongoing gabapentin (GABAPENTIN) taken for restless legs syndrome, ongoing acetylsalicylic acid (BABY ASPIRIN), ongoing turmeric and bromelain, ongoing ascorbic acid, betacarotene, cupric oxide, tocopheryl acetate, zinc oxide (PRESERVISION) taken for macular hole, ongoing loperamide hydrochloride (IMODIUM) taken for diarrhoea, ongoing bifidobacterium bifidum, bifidobacterium lactis, lactobacillus acidophilus, lactobacillus brevis, lactobacillus bulgaricus, lactobacillus casei, lactobacillus paracasei, lactobacillus plantarum, lactobacillus rhamnosus, lactobacillus salivarius (PROBIOTIC 10), ongoing potassium, ongoing Calcium citrate magnesium zinc all in one pill 80mg Magnesium, 500mg Calcium, 10mg Zinc, 20mg B6 taken for restless legs syndrome. Has been on his normal medications for years and nothing has changed. Has been on all of these medications at least 15 years, or more than that, maybe 18 years. The patient experienced shortness of breath since Feb2021 (at the age of 80 years and 6 monthes). He received both doses of the Pfizer Covid-19 Vaccine and received his second dose 13Feb2021. He has been to his doctor and has been treated with antibiotics and Prednisone. He wanted to know what he should do about it. Caller's shortness of breath began a couple of weeks after his second dose in Mar2021, where it became noticeable, and it continues. The patient would like to know if others have reported shortness of breath after receiving the Pfizer Covid-19 Vaccine. He has been experiencing shortness of breath since Feb2021. Maybe it is a side effect of the Covid vaccine, he does not know. First stated that it was around 15Feb2021 or earlier, when he first went to the doctor. He stated that he did start experiencing it before then. He wouldn't of went to the doctor if he didn't have that. Wife was brought on the phone to describe the event further. Stated that 01Mar2021 is when he first went to the doctor. They went on vacation on an unspecified date in Mar2021 and his wife had to take him to a clinic there that it was around 09Mar2021. He has had 4 series of antibiotics and prednisone since that first visit in Mar2021. When he got home, he went to the doctor again and they gave him more antibiotics and Prednisone. Then again in May, he had another round of it, and is still experiencing shortness of breath. He had also had other symptoms at that time. He had a lot of congestion. It did not stop but that has kind of subsided. The shortness of breath has remained. He had heard a news report stating shortness of breath symptoms have been reported regarding the COVID vaccine. He had his last shot 13Feb2021, he thinks it was. Soon after, he started having the shortness of breath. At first, he didn't relate it to the Covid shot. He does have heart problems. The first antibiotic was Azithromycin, it was with the Prednisone, It was the ZPack. He took it for 6 days and then tapered one every day. In Mar 2021 he took Medrol pack, which was 4mg tablets. They were different Prednisones and different antibiotics each time. The last one he took was Doxycycline, which was 40mg and he took it for 4 days. Can't remember what the other one was. Caller states that he had the Zpack from the clinic and his doctor gave him Doxycycline after he came home. It was a different amount of Prednisone each time. He had a lot of allergy like symptoms with nasal congestion and coughing. States that it was clear congestion and was probably 3 times as thick as with normal nasal problems. It was like lumps, was clear and was coughing it up. The congestion started when he was coughing up stuff. The last time his doctor gave him nasal spray, Azelastine HCI, which was in a spray bottle with 30ml. He stopped it after a period of time. He still has some congestion every day, but it is not near what it was before. The Prednisone and antibiotic lessened the problem along with the nasal spray and really helped. The shortness of breath has continued and has gotten a little worse. He used to be able to walk 3 quarters of a mile every day but now he probably can't walk 4 blocks. Sometimes, just sitting on the couch, watching TV, he gets heaviness in his chest. He has to breathe really deep to get it fixed. When he had his oxygen level tested, at the doctor's office, it is always 98, 99 or 100 percent. The doctor listens to his lungs and he doesn't see or hear anything that is going on. He had an X-ray for his lungs they didn't see anything there either. Had a chest X-ray, blood tests by his primary care physician and heart doctor. Had blood tests by his oncology doctor. All of those came out normal, with no problems. Feel free to ask for those results. No other additional vaccines were administered on Same Date of the Pfizer Suspect. The patient has not received any other vaccines within 4 weeks prior vaccinations. The adverse event shortness of breath resulted in visit to urgent care and physician office. The patient underwent lab tests and procedures which included chest x-ray: normal on an unspecified date. Therapeutic measures were taken as a result of the adverse events. The outcome of the events was unknown.; Sender's Comments: Based on plausible temporal relationship, a possible causal association between the events "Dyspnoea, Nasal congestion ,Cough, Chest discomfort " and the suspect drug BNT162B2 cannot be excluded. 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 re-sponse, will be promptly notified to regulatory authorities, Ethics Committees, and Investigators, as appropriate.

My 81-year-old father, and my brother received the first dose of the Pfizer covid vaccine at the Hospital on Wednesday January 13, 2021. Within a couple of minutes of them returning home, my father collapsed. As it turns out, he'd had a silent heart attack. He is still in the medical center area Hospital this morning. A cardiologist who was filling in for my father's primary cardiologist thought maybe my father had a blockage and might have needed a stent. But when Dr. performed a cardiac catheterization, he only found a little plaque. Medical personnel are not too sure what caused the heart attack. My was very dehydrated when he was admitted, and he has underlying health conditions including diabetes, high blood pressure, dementia and a history of blood clots. Those are just a few of his health issues. His primary cardiologist, Dr is back in town. He plans to see if my father has AFib before they release him. I believe Dr. an internist at Hospital, said my father's INR on admitting was 1.2. My father's hematologist, Dr., had told us to let the person administering the vaccine know that my father is on blood thinners. I was not present when my father and brother received the vaccine, but I assume my brother passed that information on to them.

Was probably the lymph node; Was like a very dull irritation in the right side of the neck. Was probably the lymph node.; coughs; very mild sore arm; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable consumer (patient). An 81-year-old male patient received bnt162b2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, Solution for injection), dose 1 via an unspecified route of administration, administered in left arm at the age of 81-year-old on 27Mar2021 (Lot Number: EP6955) as single dose for COVID-19 immunisation. Medical history included cancer from 2018 (started out with BCG treatments, where they insert bacteria into the bladder); Had another form of immunotherapy that didn't work too well for him and the cancer kept growing chemotherapy; Had a couple of operations and surgeries where the doctor removed it all but it came back. Best reaction was chemotherapy (It stopped the bleeding and was working on the cancer). Last one was 15Feb2021. Was getting blood work for every treatment. Had to miss one of the treatments due to low platelets. Has a chest port for treatments and blood work. Was very conscious before having chemo. It is kind of a rough thing to kill cancer but also kills good cells too. Definitely worked on killing the cancer for a while; the last treatment was 15Feb2021. Stage 4 was taking chemo. Had bladder cancer (which got out of the bladder and started spreading in to the lymph system), Height: used to be 5'7", is now maybe 5"4". The caller remarks that when he started with chemotherapy. he also lost a lot of weight. Weight: When he went in for last appointment it was 129 or 130 pounds. The patient's concomitant medications were not reported. The patient previously took chemotherapy nos from unknown date to 15Feb2021 for cancer. The patient experienced pain in neck and back on 28Mar2021, pain in chest on 29Mar2021. Caller stating that he and his wife had shot number one 27Mar2021 and are scheduled for second shot 20Apr2021. Wife had no symptoms, maybe a bit of a sore arm and he had the same reaction. Was a very mild sore arm in 2021. On day 2 or 3 on the right side of the neck, had felt a little nagging in Mar2021 and slight pain, especially when he moved and felt it around his back. It is just starting to go away now at 3 weeks. Around the back, around the perimeter and when he coughs in Mar2021, he can feel it in his chest. He is scheduled for the second shot. Is wondering if the second shot will have those symptoms. It's not like it is anything severe, it is just nagging. What worries is him, is that it lasted this long. Is a cancer patient and had last chemotherapy 15Feb2021. His oncologist said to go ahead and take the shot because he really needs the protection. It was asked what if he has the same reaction again. Will go on website but wanted to find out what other people are experiencing and whether or not to take the second shot. Wants to take it for protection. Really wants to take the shot on Tuesday. Pain in neck and back: Only when he coughs, is more of an ache. Started day 2 after vaccine on 28Mar2021. Was like a very dull irritation in the right side of the neck in Mar2021. Was probably the lymph node in Mar2021. Pain in chest: When he sneezes in Mar2021, there is a sharp pain, all around the perimeter of his chest. Is gone as soon as he stops coughing. Feels when muscles are contracting in Mar2021. Started day 3 after getting the vaccine on 29Mar2021. Stage 4 was taking chemo. Had bladder cancer, which got out of the bladder and started spreading in to the lymph system. Wants to be put on immunotherapy but can't until he is finished with his shots. If he gets the immunotherapy and if he has a reaction, would have to use steroids and they do not want to do that with the vaccine. The doctor wanted to start him earlier on the immunotherapy but thought it was important to get the vaccine first, that taken care of. The pain is only sharp if he lifts something. Otherwise, it is just dull. He knows it is there. It is not completely gone. This morning was the best that he had. Really got good sleep last night. The best since it has happened. When he sneezes, he can kind of feel it around his chest, just around the perimeter of the muscles. Treatment: The first couple of days, just put up with it. Took Tylenol one day and then on another day. Takes at bedtime. Does not like taking Tylenol because it effects his liver. If he doesn't need it, he doesn't take it. In the last week, every night he has been less and less bothered by how he slept. Last night he didn't even know he had it, the pain, and slept really well. Have not taken any meds, just Tylenol on day 4 and 5 to help sleep. Therapeutic measures were taken as a result of events. The outcome of events very mild sore arm, sneezes and feels when muscles are contracting was unknown. The outcome of other events was recovering. No follow-up attempts are needed. No further information is expected.

They put a shunt in on March 18th because they said he had fluid, and this was the only treatment. Ten days later he was back in the hospital and after a week we had to take him home on hospice. I think the vaccine could of escalated his cancer this rapidly. Especially because he had two brain bleeds.

This is a spontaneous report from a contactable consumer (patient's wife). A male patient of an unspecified age received BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE), dose 1 via an unspecified route of administration on an unspecified date (Batch/Lot Number: Unknown) as single dose for COVID-19 immunization.

They had to postpone his second dose because he ended up in the hospital but they have the second one coming up on the 14May2021 and she is scared for him to get it, he is adamant he is going to take it. He was taking her to the doctor for a problem she had and he told her he could not go to the bathroom and she was like what, because he has a stoma bag and she looked and it was plugged with a blood clot, he couldn't open it and drain it so she told him to get in the shower and take it off and put a new one on and she was pulling it off, it was full of blood and there was a big huge, like real liver sized clot came out of his stoma bag. She went to get the stoma bag after the thing came off she grabbed it and got it in the bag and took it out. He was taken to the hospital by the paramedics and he spent 3 days in the hospital. He is 83 now but this happened the week before his birthday, he was 82 when they noticed the blood in his stoma bad, he was a week away from 83. She provides his height and says he shrunk he is 5'9" or 5'8". She does not remember the date of the first dose. She says his birthday was 18Apr2021. She thinks he was admitted to the hospital on 12Apr2021 and he got the first dose the week before that. She thinks it was 12Apr2021 that he was admitted because it was just before birthday first dose week prior to that. They never made the connection.

She has one there called Atorvastatin that says it is for Lipitor, so that is not it. She sees Glipizide. No further information provided. She says she found the Coumadin, they are 2mg tablets and he takes 2 at night. She says the dose is not written on there because they call him every 3 weeks because he has to have a blood draw.

The action taken for the suspect drugs treprostinil sodium and treprostinil in response to the events was unknown. The outcome of the events was unknown. The reporter did not provided causality for events. Case Comment/Senders Comment: The company has assessed the serious adverse event of COVID-19, epistaxis and dyspnea as not related to IH treprostinil and TD-300/A device. COVID-19 was likely due to infection with SARS-CoV-2 virus infection during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and epistaxis and dyspnea was likely a clinical cascade from COVID infection in setting of underlying PAH in this elderly 82-year-old patient. The reporter's assessment of the causal relationship of the event with the suspect product was not provided at the time of this report. Since no determination has been received, the case is managed based on the company causality assessment. Information on the lot/batch number has been requested.

Information on the lot/batch number has been requested. Follow-up (19May2021): This follow-up is being submitted to notify that the lot/batch number is not available despite the follow-up attempts made. Follow-up attempts completed. No further information is expected.; Sender's Comments: Based on the available information, the Company cannot completely exclude the possible causality between the reported COVID- 19 positive with mild infection, which is considered failure of COVID-19 vaccine BNT162B2, and the administration of BNT162B2 vaccine. The Company considers the reported events Nosebleed and Breathing issues as unrelated to BNT162B2 vaccine, more likely being inter-current medical conditions.

Immune thrombocytopenic purpura; ITP; acute bleeding and thrombocytopenia; uncontrollable bleeding that did not stop; This is a spontaneous report from a Pfizer-sponsored. A contactable physician (anesthesiologist) reported that an 83-year-old male patient received BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE; Lot Number and Expiration Date were not reported), via an unspecified route of administration, on 25Mar2021, at a single dose, for COVID-19 immunization. The patient's medical history and concomitant medications were not reported. On 27Mar2021, the patient developed immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) after getting or receiving the COVID-19 vaccine. The physician would like to know the protocol of that. The patient got his vaccination, on Thursday before the reporting (25Mar2021). And the patient was admitted to the hospital 48 hours later on Saturday (27Mar2021) with acute bleeding and thrombocytopenia. The patient went to the hospital with uncontrollable bleeding that did not stop. The physician was interested if the company had any internal protocol for treatment of ITP occurring acute onset after the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine. The physician was trying to get some information to help some rheumatologist who can't seem to be finding things on the information on treating this. The physician was not here to blame anybody for it and from what he/she read, there are like 150 cases around the world with thrombocytopenia after the COVID-19 vaccine from totally different manufacturers (further clarification unknown). The physician had read a many couple case reports of different individual, people have tried for that but he/she was just interested if the company had any inhouse information for the treatment protocols for acute thrombocytopenia after the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccination. The outcome of the event was unknown. Information about lot number and expiration date for the suspect product will be requested in follow-up attempts.; Sender's Comments: Based on the information provided and temporal association, a possible causal relationship cannot be excluded between the suspect product BNT162B2 and the reported event Immune thrombocytopenic purpura. 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.

A FIb kicked in/A Fib again; Meniere's attack/light headed and get winded very easily; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable consumer (patient and his spouse). An 83-year-old male patient received the 2nd dose of bnt162b2 (BNT162B2), intramuscular administered on arm left on 08Feb2021 08:00 (Batch/Lot Number: EL9269; Expiration Date: 02Feb2021) as SINGLE DOSE for COVID-19 immunization. Medical history included ongoing atrial fibrillation (AFib) and he had maybe once or twice a week but never felt it (before Pfizer shot), ongoing hypertension, and Meniere's disease which had attacks several times a year and since he lost his hearing in his right ear the attacks were minor (he felt a little nauseous, similar to having a minor hang over and with a louder than normal ringing in his right ear -tinnitus). Concomitant medications included apixaban (ELIQUIS) taken for atrial fibrillation from 2016 (reported as 5 years ago) and ongoing; and hydrochlorothiazide (HYDROCHLOROTHIAZIDE) taken for hypertension from 2011 (reported as 10 years ago) and ongoing. Patient was not diagnosed with COVID-19 prior to vaccination nor tested for COVID-19 since the vaccination. The patient didn't receive any other vaccines within 4 weeks prior to the COVID vaccine. Before the shots, he had an AFib attack maybe once or twice a week never felt it. He mentioned that the only way he knew he had it was using his fitness watch and take his pulse before several times a day (unknown results) and before he exercise (he will not exercise if he was in Afib but it always went away overnight). His doctor recommends staying hydrated and will see a cardiologist if it does not stabilize. After his first vaccine shot on 21Jan2021 06:45 (Batch/Lot Number: EK9231) intramuscular administered on arm left and while he was at his car, the was in Afib which lasted for 5 days (26Jan2021) which was unprecedented. After about five days, his pulse stabilized and was back to normal having AFib again maybe only once a week (AER 2021194945). Then, the patient received the 2nd dose on 08Feb2021. By 08:45, the patient was in AFib again for five days (13Feb2021) when it cleared but then it came back almost immediately for another two days and he was not back to normal even after 7 days. The patient also had Meniere's attack the same time (08Feb2021 08:45) with the Afib he had. He was little lightheaded and get winded very easily during that time and recovered by 13Feb2021 (same time with the Afib). The event of Afib noted on 08Feb2021 was persistent/Significant disability/Incapacity and did not received any treatment. No follow up attempts are needed. No further information is expected.

CONSULTS: None INPATIENT PROCEDURES: None DETAILS OF HOSPITAL STAY: PRESENTING PROBLEM: Patient is a 83 y.o. male with Hx of HTN who presents today with complaint of right sided flank pain, with radiations into the right side of his back and right side of his chest. The pain is worse with movement and deep inspiration. He denies palpitations and shortness of breath. He has no previous HX of VTE. He denies fever, chills, cough, nasal congestion, and sore throat. He denies abdominal pain, N/V, and changes in bowel movements. The patient is a limited historian. He is oriented x4 on admission, but states that he has had difficulty with his memory over the past 2-3 years. He lives alone in an apartment. In the emergency department the patient's vital signs were stable. Labs revealed a potassium of 3.3. AST was 52 and ALT 61. White blood cell count was 11.13. Troponin was negative and BNP was within normal limits. Lactic acid was 1.5. UA showed trace blood. EKG showed normal sinus rhythm with PACs. CTA the thorax abdomen and pelvis showed acute pulmonary emboli involving the segmental subsegmental arteries of the upper and lower lobes. There is no evidence of heart strain. He was admitted for observation due to severe pain, and was given IV fentanyl. Echocardiogram showed: The left ventricular ejection fraction is 67%. No regional wall motion abnormalities noted. The right ventricular size, thickness, and function are normal. The estimated right ventricular systolic pressure is 36 mmHg. The inferior vena cava was not visualized during the exam. There is no comparison study available. He was started on Eliquis 10 mg bid for 7 days, than 5 mg bid for total of 3 months. He should follow up with PCP in 1 week and should check CBC and BMP on 5/10/21. He should also follow up with pulmonologist in 2-3 months. He had Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine on 2/18/21 and 3/18/21. There is remote possibility that this PE could be related to COVID-19 vaccine, so this was reported to Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS). He had mild hypokalemia due to HCTZ, and required K-dur supplement. HCTZ was switched to Maxzide 25/37.5 mg daily. Rechecked K was normal 3.9. BMP should be checked in 1 week.

Heart stopped; Could not swallow; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable nurse (patient's wife). An 85-year-old male patient received the first dose of the bnt162b2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 MRNA VACCINE), via an unspecified route of administration on 21Jan2021 at a single dose for COVID-19 immunization. Medical history included blood pressure abnormal (verbatim: blood pressure) from an unknown date and unknown if ongoing, neuropathy from an unknown date and unknown if ongoing, weight issue from an unknown date and unknown if ongoing, diabetes from an unknown date and unknown if ongoing, walker user from an unknown date and unknown if ongoing. Concomitant medications included insulin aspart (NOVOLOG) taken for diabetes from an unspecified date to an unspecified date; and he was taking a long acting one as well. The patient previously received the influenza vaccine (MANUFACTURER UNKNOWN) for immunization on unknown dates ("had flu shots before with no reactions and everything, nothing before"). On 24Jan2021, the patient's heart stopped (death, medically significant), and could not swallow (medically significant). The clinical course was reported as follows: The patient's wife stated the patient was taking insulin aspart (NOVOLOG) and he was taking a long acting one as well. The reporter, the patient's wife and a retired registered nurse (RN) stated, her husband (patient) just died and she thought he died from the COVID vaccine (later clarified the reason of death was-heart stopped). The patient had the vaccine on 21Jan2021, which was on a Thursday, and he was fine. On the following Sunday around 1:30 (on 24Jan2021), the patient was feeling a little weak, however, the patient's wife thought maybe his blood sugar was low. The patient's wife checked, and the patient's blood sugar was 91. The patient's wife went to get some yogurt to feed him in order to get his blood sugar up a little; "which was a normal thing for him, it was not that low for him." Then, suddenly, the patient fell, and the patient's wife could not get a pulse or anything. The patient's wife called an unspecified number and she started compressions; however, he was dead. The patient's wife stated the patient just had his heart test, a three hour long one, and it was "perfect three weeks ago." The patient had just gone to the doctor the other day and his blood pressure was "fine and everything." The patient's wife stated that other than his diabetes, "which he had for (sentence incomplete)." Regarding lab tests, the patient's wife stated, "No, he had it before but not in the last two weeks. He was going for one because we just went to the doctor last week and he was going to call yesterday to make the appointment request to get his blood work done. Blood work has been good except his A1C was always high, but other than that everything was good" (as reported). Regarding causality, the patient's wife stated, "I do, because he was fine until about half an hour before he died. He said to me, I feel a little weak today and then I was talking to him that your upper body strength is really good and then I said, we just have to work on your weight a little more because he did have neuropathy. And then, I went out of the room and all of a sudden I just heard him fall and that is when I just went in to check his blood sugar and it was 91 and I got him yogurt and he started eating that and then that was it, he started spitting it out and he said, I could not swallow and that was it, he just died." The patient's wife further added, "I just wanted other people to know that things like this happen and I am sure it was from that because he was healthy as could be. He was walking with his walker, the day before outside and he felt fine." The clinical outcome of the event, heart stopped, was fatal. The clinical outcome of the event, could not swallow, was unknown. The patient died on 24Jan2021 due to "heart stopped." An autopsy was not performed. The batch/lot numbers for the vaccine, PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 MRNA VACCINE, were not provided and will be requested during follow up.; Reported Cause(s) of Death: Heart stopped

85 year old male who presents with 2 episodes loose black stools, weakness, decreased appetite, increased lethargy and subjective fever today, 02/22. Again admitted and had further rheumatological and infectious work up with negative results He was initially admitted to Hospital on 02/12 with fatigue, atypical chest pain, melena. He had received 2nd dose of Pfizer vaccine on 02/10. He was hospitalized from 02/12-02/15 and thought to have viral pericarditis. Diagnosis at discharge: SIRS DUE TO NONINFECTIOUS PROCESS W ACUTE ORGAN DYSFUNCTION. He was started on celebrex in addition to the the colchicine as an anti-inflammatory. After initiation of the anti inflammatory medications, patient's fever resolved, he started feeling better and his inflammatory markers decreased. He was monitored for another days and was feeling better. He is therefore being discharged home. In view of the negative work up, there is suspicion that these may be a hyper inflammatory response to the COVID vaccine since his symptoms were temporally related.

My father received his first Pfizer vaccine on 02/03/21. On 2/12/21 I rushed him to the ER. He was vomiting uncontrollably and had shortness of breath. Once arrived at ER, they immediately put him on oxygen. Vomiting lasted several hours. They tested him for Covid and did a chest x-ray. Tested positive for Covid. Chest x-ray showed Covid pneumonia. Was admitted. Stayed in hospital for 5 days and was then released to nursing home for physical and occupational therapy. He was very weak and on days experienced what they called Covid fog. After 2 weeks of therapy, he was released on 03/06/21 to go back home to his apartment, with extended visiting nurse therapy. On 3/10/21, was the first visiting nurse appointment. At 12:00 an RN came to his apartment from Home Health Care. She checked his vitals. She said his blood pressure was good, lungs sounded good and oxygen level was 98. She said he was doing good and that she would not need to continue to come out and check on him weekly. She left. At 2:30 the same day, a Physical Therapist from Home Health Care came. She asked him lots of questions and adjusted my fathers' walker for him. He showed her how he was doing using the walker. Walked approximately 15-20 feet in his apartment. She checked his vitals before she left. His oxygen level was now at 91. She had him take a few deep breathes until his oxygen level was up to 93. She left and said she would be back on Friday the 12th to begin the actual physical therapy then. Within 10 minutes after she left my father started shaking uncontrollably and was having difficulties breathing. I called 911. Paramedics arrived. My fathers' oxygen level was all the way down to 74. They took him to the ER. When getting him out of ambulance he began vomiting. Vomiting lasted for hours just like when he went to the hospital back in February. They tried 3 different drugs to control the nausea. They did EKG, chest and abdomen scans. Was found that he had multiple blood clots and inflammation in his lungs and a bacterial infection in his blood. After testing, bacteria was found to be E Coli. Treated him with heparin for clots and antibiotics for infection and had him on oxygen in nose. Every day thereafter, he felt worse. They switched him to a high flow oxygen mask to keep his oxygen levels up. By Saturday night (early morning Sunday) on 03/14, they had taken the high flow oxygen mask off and hooked him up to a BiPap oxygen machine because his oxygen levels were dropping too low. We were then told by the lung doctor, that the damage to his lungs was extreme and that the next step would be to put him on a ventilator and feeding tube. My father did not want this per his will and his discussion with Dr earlier in the week. Dr indicated that he would not get better just being on the BiPap machine and we then chose to have them take him off of the machine because he did not want to go on life support. My father passed away on Sunday, March 14th around 6:30pm.

bent over to look up and almost blacked out; swimmy headedness was really more noticeable after second shot; sensation in equilibrium or vision or whatever; weakness; felt different/really knew something was wrong/something is not right; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable consumer (patient). An 85-year-old male patient received the second dose of bnt162b2, via an unspecified route of administration, administered in Left arm on 09Feb2021 (Lot Number: EM9810) as single dose for covid-19 immunisation. The patient medical history and concomitant medications were not reported. The patient previously received the first dose of bnt162b2, at the age of 85-year-old, via an unspecified route of administration, administered in Left arm on 20Jan2021 (lot number: EL3302) as single dose for covid-19 immunization and experienced Vertigo, felt peculiar, nausea, dizziness/swimmy headed. The patient previously received the flu shot for immunization and experienced Sore arm. He is 85 and not familiar with all the goings on today but heard a report the other day and did not know there was such a thing as Vertigo. He thought that was just a movie. When he took the shot at (place name) in (county name) on 20Jan2021, soon thereafter, not that day but maybe next, he felt peculiar. It was just uneasiness and he did not feel right. That went on and on 09Feb2021, he got second shot and he got swimmy headed, but it has continued on since then and probably gotten worse, especially when he gets up in the morning. He has to hold on until he gets balanced or coordinated. It just doesn't seem right After he gets up and gets going, it is not as prevalent. But then sometimes it strikes him and he is just completely out of it. He later stated the peculiar feeling and swimmy headedness started the same day as the first injection, but he just did not really pay attention to it and thought it was just one of those things that you accept with getting older. Wife and he both went and he thought his feelings were merely from excitement or depletion or exhaustion. He felt like he had weakness and he just felt different. He got it at noon and waited for 15 minutes. Because of the events around him at the time, it did not register with him because it was the stress of driving 30 miles through expressway. Old people aren't used to driving that far. It got worse after the second shot and then he really knew something was wrong. When you are old, you have these feelings and pains and aches and all that stuff, and you just accept it as being old. It did not register with him until a couple of weeks ago when he heard it on TV about Vertigo and he said that is what he has. The swimmy headedness was really more noticeable after second shot, it brought it on stronger. He does not complain about things and thought it may just be getting old. He said it just kept on and getting a little worse and worse. Then he said something is not right and one day he bent over to look up and almost blacked out because of sensation in equilibrium or vision or whatever. He got scared and that was a couple of weeks ago. (name) was not cognizant of what was going on until he heard on television about Vertigo. One of the news channel mentioned or somebody mentioned it. It was just general things. He confirmed it was regarding someone who had gotten Vertigo after getting the vaccine but did not have a particular person to report on. NO ER or physician's office required. The outcome of the event dizziness aggravated and Weakness was not recovered, other events was unknown.

Bleed; Hemoglobin and it had dropped to 6.1; 2nd dose- He was extremely exhausted/weariness/tired feeling; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable consumer (patient's wife). An 85-year-old male patient received bnt162b2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE), second dose at the age of 85-years-old via an unspecified route of administration, administered in arm left on 15Mar2021 (Batch/Lot number was not reported) as 2nd dose, single dose for covid-19 immunisation. Medical history included ongoing diabetes mellitus, cancer removed from his buttocks (It was either a basal or a squamous and they did not feel it was bad and they had removed it all) on an unspecified date, he has had a stent put in on an unknown date, Had surgery for a valve replacement on an unknown date, heart disorder (He is on a lot of medications) from an unknown date and unknown if ongoing. The patient's concomitant medications were not reported. The patient received the first dose of bnt162b2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE) at the age of 85-years-old on 24Feb2021 and experienced he was tired a little bit. After the second dose on 15Mar2021 her husband and her were extremely exhausted, not sleepy, just tired. They were told to expect that though. He was extremely exhausted and this began soon after 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. Adds that for her husband 1st dose he did not have any effects basically but for his 2nd dose he did have the weariness, not sleepiness, just a tired feeling for several hours. He was just resting and he was also in the hospital but it was for another event not because of the COVID vaccine. She says that it was frightening, he went to the doctor for a routine check up he has had a stent put in and had surgery for a valve replacement at the beginning of the year and also he has had a cancer removed from his buttocks at the beginning of the year. But during his regular check in they did his hemoglobin and it had dropped to 6.1 on 20May2021, and the doctor said that they were going to call an ambulance and her husband said he was going to drive to the hospital since he was only 2 to 3 minutes from there. They admitted him and he was in for 3 days. They can not find the bleed site and they did an endoscopy and they are waiting for him to have an outpatient colonoscopy. They can not figure out the bleed and where it is coming from. He is currently been resting but it is frightening because it was out of the blue. Caller confirms that the stent, cancer and the valve replacement were all prior to the COVID vaccine. The patient was hospitalized for hemoglobin and it had dropped to 6.1 (haemoglobin decreased) and bleed from 20May2021 to 22May2021. The patient underwent lab tests and procedures which included endoscopy: unknown results on May2021, haemoglobin: 6.1 on 20May2021. The patient recovered from fatigue on 15Mar2021 while the outcome of the other events was unknown.

Patient previously took first dose of bnt162b2 (Lot number: EL8982) on 23Jan2021 and on an unknown date felt very weak and walking slow. Reported said he was just calling to report the side effects that happened to my uncle, after he get the Pfizer vaccine. Well, the first weakness was in January and February they did not think too much about it because it was not one of the side effects that were told to watch out for. So, they noticed, my aunt and my cousin noticed that he was having trouble in walking and he used to walking and drive and to the church on regular basis after his first vaccine he had trouble walking and he started moving very slowly that was unlike him and he became very weak. He always has been a walker and that was not normal for him, he was very healthy. So, that was the first injection and then he got the second injection then nobody realized about you know, weakness was none that, no side effects that we talk about, you know from you providers that you read about and what was on the news. So, he got the second injection, and he became weaker and weaker and recently he been using walker now. His weakness got worsen and he could not even move the walker because he could not grip it with his hand. He could not use his hands and it got worse and he has fallen a couple of times, but they did not take him to hospital as he did not want to go to the hospital it was not until 05Apr2021 that he fallen split his head open and he thought he just would go to the ER. He fell couple of times and he finally actually fell and hit his head and was taken to the ER. From the ER he was transferred to the hospital. He was hospitalized and then they could not find anything wrong with him. He first went to the ER on 10Apr2021 at 21:30. Patient was in the hospital for three days on 14Apr2021 they transferred him to a rehab and he was there for 6 weeks and he was sent home on 01Jun2021, but he still could not walk but they sent him home and he could not even move his hand, so, he got taken back to the hospital at the hospital request on 14Jun2021, and she said to keep him bed rested at home and 2 days to be rested here that he fell or might now fell until we find care for him but we need to go back so she called 911, took him back to the hospital, second rehab and she came back to the hospital and they still could not find anything wrong with him and he got transferred on week later on 21Jun2021. Patient did not receive any other vaccine prior or during the covid vaccine. It was reported that he has both Diabetes and Hypertension but doctor was absent because he has Diabetes for about 25 years and when my aunt told them that she thought that it was related to the vaccines then they just said they have no idea. They just said they had no idea they wished what they knew what was wrong with him, because everything was normal with exception of elevated blood pressure, elevated sugar and elevated potassium. At the time of reporting, he weighed about 139 pounds. Since he has been out of hospital, he has lost about 25 pounds. Reporter stated that, she has to pay out of her pocket for his rehab because they did not know what was wrong with him and her insurance only cover certain amount of days and she was trying to figure out how she can get some assistance in paying for that rehab visit because they paid certain number of days and then she ready to go but he was not ready to come home so she had to pay out of her pocket to keep him there and also trying to see if that is something that pfizer would reimburse for. Reporter stated that, her insurance would not cover all the kind of aiding there and then they sent him home and then he had to back to his status because nurse said he should not be home he is too fragile and that was dangerous for him to keep him in the hospital, if he falls, he falls. She was asking if can either reimburse my aunt for the extra days that insurance did not cover, she had to pay out of her pocket for those because insurance did not cover everything and the doctors, nobody know what is wrong, they just says I wish I knew what was wrong, they can see that he was weak, they can see that he can not walk, he can not feed himself, so he can not be home and yet none of this happened if he did not have these vaccine. Upon follow up, reporter stated that, all events were reported yesterday, first was an ER visit, the doctor said they had no explanation, what was causing this, the weakness, he used to drive, he did daily walks, was active, it all started after the first injection, but at the time, no one knew to look for fatigue, they looked for flu like things and he fell a couple times, but he got the second shot, he got worse, and he went to ER because he fell and cracked his head on wall and cut it open, so he was taken to ER and admitted. Reporter did not know why the lady last night gave her a number that was not valid. Outcome of events was unknown. Follow-up attempts are completed. No further information is expected.

Starting on Saturday, 2/6/2020, four days after vaccine, elevated heart rate, 160 bpm and low blood sugar. Before the vaccine, there was no problem with my heart rate. Now, I am taking Labeatol 4 times a day to keep rate at least at 90. This vaccine has doubled my heart rate. It was 70 before the vaccine. Now if I do not take my Labetalol, it goes up to 140. Because my body is working so hard with that heart rate, it is making my sugar low. So now I'm taking less insulin and this whole situation is getting confusing on how to handle this long term, adverse reaction to the Pfizer vaccine.

The weeks following vaccination, the patient felt lethargic, dizzy, unstable on his feet. Mental cognitive ability was unchanged, and he seemed to still be sharp. Up until the day of death, the patient was still active, able to drive, speak, make jokes, eat, and do everything normally. The morning of death, he had a bad fall, but couldn't recall what happened. It's assumed that a low blood pressure event, syncope, partial aneurysm, something of that nature causing temporary loss of consciousness occurred. We attended a funeral that afternoon, ate lunch, and dropped him off at his home. Sometime during that evening, he fell and died. The cause is unknown and still "undetermined" on the death certificate. (Heart attack or brain aneurysm is what I'm guessing)

On Sunday afternoon, March 14, I received the first dose of the Pfizer vaccination. On the morning of March 16 I had a sudden hit of fatigued and my left leg started going numb while doing some menial work in the yard, The numbness cleared when I went inside and laid down but some form of the fatigue persisted for several days. Then, on March 28, two weeks after the vaccine, I woke up to a leg severely swollen from toe to hip. I waited two days to see if it went down but it only got worse, swelling to double the size by volume. I went to the doctor and they sent me to the hospital for ultrasound, suspecting a blood clot. No blood clot was evident but there were multi swollen limp nodes in the upper leg area. The problem worsened and two days later I was sent in for a CTscan which now showed multi blood clots near the swollen limp nodes. I was barely able to walk as major pain persisted with no signs of decline. I am now on blood thinner. It has been 2 months since the vacination and my leg is still swollen the same amount (2X by volume).
