One week after 2nd vaccine, Friday 2/19, woke up with my right eyelid red, swollen, itchy, discharge. Saw eye doctor, OD., whom I work for. She diagnosed "Swollen sub-mandibular & pre-auricular lymphatic nodes." I am being treated with: 1) Erythromycin Ophth Oint 3.5GM 2) Prednisolone AC 1% Ophth Susp 5ML 3) Pataday Doctor believes that my viral infection might be a result of the Covid 19 vaccine, and gives assurance that her treatment will resolve issues. She is unsure whether, or not, I am considered contagious during this time? Inquiries at the college were unfruitful. I hope my reporting this is not a violation in any way. Many thanks.

Tinnitus has been going on in top section of my head since about 3 hours after the vaccine. I believe I have a compromised blood brain barrier due to the fact that I had taken prescribed anti inflammatory for 15 years for my lower back pain. So now if I take anything with anti inflammatory effects I get tinnitus but it goes away soon afterward, depending on strength of dose. It has been 4 days now with no sign of relief. I am eating a low salicylate diet right now to help my body process any anti inflammatory.

I received my vaccine on a Tuesday morning, and five days later on Sunday morning I woke up with very swollen checks--my head looked like a pumpkin. When my girlfriend saw me in the afternoon, she said, "I'm taking you to the emergency room!" But, I told her that I had no fever and no other symptoms, so we should wait. The swelling was bad enough that my jaws ached and my cheeks felt like they were going to burst, but if I didn't chew any food, the swelling would subside slightly, and my jaws would stop aching. I read online that people with botox who get the vaccine can have facial swelling and a 24 hour course of benadryl will knock down the swelling. I have never had botox injections, but I took some benadryl for two days, which made me feel really tired. I ate only soup and yogurt, so that I didn't have to chew any food. I don't know if the benadryl had any effect, but over about 5 days, the swelling subsided, then I could eat again without causing my jaws to swell up.

Then on Saturday, his eyes started to tear a lot, and the right side of his face started drooping like that of a stroke. He also said he had headache on the back of his head, and his eyes do not. The patient wanted to know if he should go to the emergency room or if this is a normal reaction to the vaccine. The patient did have a sensation starting on Thursday of numbness in his mouth.

A 60-years-old male patient received BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 MRNA VACCINE, Solution for injection) dose 1 via an unspecified route of administration on 06Jan2021 (Lot Number: EJ1685, expiry date not reported) as single dose; and dose 2 via an unspecified route of administration on 29Jan2021 (lot Number: EL8982, expiry date not reported) as single dose; for covid-19 immunization. Medical history included eye surgery (he already had surgery once) from an unknown date and unknown if ongoing. The patient's concomitant medications were not reported. Patient received first dose of the Pfizer vaccine on 06Jan2021 then on 29Jan2021 the 2nd dose. He experienced side effects: floaters on 06Jan2021, and streaks of lightening then vision loss on 15Mar2021. There was a large left horseshoe tear on the retina in the left and a detached retina on the left and a tear on the right retina on 19Mar2021. He already had surgery once. He will have 2nd surgery on the other eye. Reporter reported a follow up. He can't see at all. He was recovering and has to lay on face for 2 weeks. Reporter stated she read about retina problems related to the virus but not to the vaccine, could not find information. Patient was a retail pharmacist. He deals with customers and several customers stated they had vision problems with the vaccine: double vision, loss of sight. "There was a problem out there, but maybe they were not reporting it took reporter 2 hours to report so they may not have the time to sit there to report". Reporter knew they can't prove it was the vaccine that caused it. Reporter don't believe in coincidences. It seemed quite obvious to them it's related to the vaccine. Reporter appreciated all the help and stated they didn't have all the answers. Reporter sure it was the vaccine because it was within hours after the first vaccine, but since there was no information regarding the sight problems related to the vaccine patient didn't think about it. Then the floaters got worse and started to block his vision, after the 2nd vaccine it was dramatically; within hours it was worse. He's never been sick in 36 years (2021). Patient hoped no one else has to deal with what he has to deal with. Patient also reported that on 10Feb2021, patient had section of vision lost in the left eye. It was then reported that patient was well versed in the virus and the vaccine. He was unable to speak on the phone at this time as he was recovering from surgery. Patient received the first dose of the Pfizer COVID 19 vaccine on 6Jan2021 and right away began seeing hundreds of floaters. He didn't correlate it to the vaccine but it didn't go away. Then he received the second dose of the vaccine on 29Jan2021 and within hours he thought he was going blind. He went to an optometrist 01Feb2021 who sloughed off the idea of it being related to the vaccine and diagnosed him with Posterior Vitreous Detachment. It was previously reported to Pfizer when he got the diagnosis of the PVD and all the events mentioned were previously reported. Reporter stated that from that day on the floaters got larger; the around 15Mar2021 he noticed every time he bent over he saw streaks of lightning; and he started to have a black hole, a loss of about 20% of his field of vision in the left eye. He went to another local optometrist 19Mar2021, who saw a large horseshoe tear in on left retina; and a detached left retina. The local optometrist sent him to a specialist and who verified the tear and the detachment and said the other retina in the right eye also has a small tear. Patient then had eye surgery, Monday at 0700AM, 22Mar2021 by outpatient surgery, to drain the fluid in his eye; insert a gas bubble and a silicone band to repair the retina; and did laser surgery on the tear. The specialist advised that the surgery damages the lens so he will need the lens replaced in the future. Now her patient has to lay down with his face down for 23 hours a day for two weeks and take 6-8 weeks off work. He had a doctor's visit yesterday and the doctor seemed satisfied with his progress but he can't see out of the eye, everything was cloudy so he doesn't know if the floaters are gone or the eye sight is recovered yet. The doctor was planning to do the right eye tear repair on Thursday 25Mar2021. Reporter had searched online to see if other people have this, but she can't seem to get the stories online about problems with the retina and the vaccine. She wanted this to be known and documented. Reporter was asking if company have information about if other people have had this. As per reporter, the events were not serious. Therapeutic measures were taken as a result of the events reported. The patient required physician's office visit for the events reported. The patient had not recovered from section of vision lost in the left eye, large left horseshoe tear on the retina in the left/tear on the right retina/small tear right eye, detached retina on the left, and floaters. The outcome of the other events reported was unknown.

I've had a mild tinnitus for about 5-6 years. 6-7 days after my first Pfizer shot, my tinnitus has become very bad. In the last week, twice I was awakened by it in the middle of the night and was not able to fall back to sleep because it is so loud. In the past, I never heard it during the day, but now it is very loud even in the daytime. This is very serious. Not being able to sleep and rest at night is very hard to cope during the day. I'm not sure what to do as there is no cure for this tinnitus.

Had no reaction at all to second shot until 4/29, while on a 4-hour airline flight. I thought it was just the plane noise or pressurization that was causing ringing in my ears. It came and went over the last 48 hours, but has been pretty consistently ?on? today. Went online to check tinnitus and vaccines and I see this has been reported by others. Hope it goes away soon!

Immediately after the injection I felt a warm sensation flowing through my body and my head felt warm but I did not have a temperature. This subsided within 20 minutes. Prior to the vaccination I had slight Tinnitus on a scale of 1-10 I would say it was a 2. I had no trouble sleeping at night and did not use any sound machines to mask the tinnitus. I would characterize myself as a great sleeper. About 48 hours after the vaccination in my left ear my Tinnitus went from a 2 to a 5. Now to sleep I must run a fan or noise machine to mask the tinnitus and sometimes have to take benadryl or Tylenol PM to sleep.

Per triage notes on 4/21/21: Pt had his 2nd COVID vaccine today at 0800. At 0900 developed lip swelling. Took two doses of Benadryl and has now developed chest tightness and throat swelling. Per doctor's notes: Patient is a very pleasant 60-year-old gentleman who comes in for evaluation after a possible allergic reaction today, possibly related to a second dose of Pfizer Covid vaccine that he got at 8 AM this morning. About an hour later he started to feel flushed. He felt like his face was warm and his ears were warm. He started to feel like the inside of his mouth had filled with a rubber ball. His tongue felt full and he started noticed progressively that he felt like he was having difficulty swallowing. States that he never actually had any lip swelling, contrary to the triage note, just felt funny in the interior of his mouth. Did feel like his tongue was slightly swollen, both based on the fact that it felt "thick" when he was talking, and on direct inspection, as well. Took 50 mg of Benadryl around the time that his symptoms started, and lay down to nap for a little while. When he woke up he was still feeling like he was having more difficulty swallowing. He also felt like his face was a little bit puffy, prickly under each eye. He also felt like he had a blotchy rash on his chest and upper back, which his wife corroborates. He felt like his chest was a little bit tight and that something was heavy on his chest, though he was not wheezing or acutely short of breath, per se. Took another 50 mg of Benadryl at about 2:15 PM, and presented to the emergency department for further evaluation. Currently still has a little bit of chest tightness and throat tightness. He feels flushed. Symptoms have not worsened, but they have not completely resolved, either. He has had anaphylaxis in the past and has had to be admitted to the hospital. And this was in relation to taking doxycycline, it sounds like. Patient presented again to the ED on 4/22/21 with the same symptoms. He was admitted with anaphylaxis. Per ED notes, also diagnosed with Angioedema, improved. Likely related to second covid vaccine. Cant rule out secondary to Lisinopril.

3 days later after receiving the vaccine, I started to feel a light facial numbness. I indurated for the next 3 or 4 days. On the 23rd of April, I was taken to the ER. The ER thought I was having a stroke. They did a lot of procedures. They determined there was not nerve or brain damage as to why I had facial numbness. All of the test I had proved nothing. They could not find anything. The facial palsy persisted. It has been identified as trigeminal neuralgia. I have been given many medications to deal with this facial numbness. I was given carbamazepine for facial numbness and then switched to pregabalin for trigeminal neuralgia. Sometimes its a pain and burning sensation down my cheek, underneath my cheek, and towards the nose. Sometimes above the eyebrow, my eyelid would twitch. The numbness is getting stronger, and it gets worse each week than the previous week before.

Then on an unknown date, left side will blur occurred. All events required emergency room visit and physician office visit. Diagnosis of Bell's Palsy and event eye tearing were serious per disability; left side will blur was non serious. Patient described the events as follows: on 31Dec2020 he was brushing teeth and noticed the water was going everywhere. Left side of face was sagging, noticed some swelling and thought it was from a bug bite. He wasn't sure if it was a stroke or not. In the morning of 01Jan2021 noticed it was progressively causing a problem. Days before noticed tearing of left eye (as reported). On 31Dec2020 before midnight, something felt wrong. He saw four cases on clinical trial with similar side effects (he clarified he had no patient information for the four patients mentioned with similar side effects from Pfizer Clinical trial. He saw this information from a article; stated four from Pfizer and Moderna). In the morning of 02Jan202, he went to Emergency Room (ER) and was diagnosed with Bells Palsy. He was given prednisone 20mg to take 3 times by mouth every day for 5 days, tetracycline 100mg, at 1 capsule by mouth twice a day for 10 days and methylprednisolone (SOLU MEDROL; Lot: 9945776;Exp: Nov2021) 4mg dose pack, started with 6 tablets first day. It was told by doctor it might cause tick problems. He was waiting for results. On 04Jan2021 went to family doctor and more blood work was taken.

Patient was checking sugar every 6 hours. It was also prescribed Acyclovir 400mg one tablet orally five times per day for 10 days. 08Jan2021 is last day of prednisone 5 day dose and will follow up with methylprednisolone tablets.

Could not work with eyes tearing all of the time. Needed to be alert. When driving, had to focus on the right side because his left side will blur. He had to chew only on the right side because food will be left behind in between his cheeks and gums. If he drank through a straw, he had to cover the left side of his lips so he was able to suck out fluids. He thought symptoms were progressively getting worse, he didn't see much improvement. He clarified swelling was on lower part of mandible on left side. It was slightly bigger than right. When looking at face, the lines on his forehead on the left side were down. If he smiled he cannot raise his left eye brow, when before the COVID-19 vaccine he could. Noticed left side of nose was lower than the right. Cannot raise left side of lips. Outcome of the event Eyes tearing and Bell's Palsy was not recovered; outcome of the other event was unknown. Information on the batch number has been requested.; Sender's Comments: Based on available information, a possible contributory role of the subject product, BNT162B2 vaccine, cannot be excluded for the reported events of Bell's palsy, Lacrimation increased and vision blurred due to temporal relationship. However, the Bell's palsy may likely possibly represent concurrent medical condition in this patient. There is limited information provided in this report. Additional information is needed to better assess the case, including complete medical history, diagnostics including head CT/MRI and viral serologies, counteractive treatment measures and concomitant medications. This case will be reassessed once additional information is available.

Last for the duration of the stress, a few seconds. Left eustachian tube slightly sore, slight earache. Has gone on for almost a week now. Best guess is nerve is pressured or damaged? Will try hydroxide in ear next, in hope it kills whatever's going on. Whether this will go away or not is unknown at present.

March 26, 2021: One week to the day after receiving my second dose of the Pfizer COVID19 vaccine, my right eye suddenly had double vision and facial pain behind the right eye and all around the right eye (forehead, right temple, around to under the right eye on the cheek). The right eye would not move correctly. March 27, 2021: I went to see Optometrist. He performed an eye exam with dilation and stated that the right eye was slow to track, and that the nerve behind the right eye was inflamed. He recommended blood work, CT scan, and an MRI. March 27, 2021 ? March 28, 2021: We went to ER at 9:00pm. After waiting six hours, I finally was able to see an ER doctor. No medical history was taken. No bloodwork was done. ER Dr performed a CT scan as Dr requested. CT scan w/o contrast showed no masses or hemorrhages. ER suggested to follow-up with Nuerology. March 29, 2021: Went to Neurologist and he examined me. He called in another Dr for a second opinion. They stated that it may be a possible cranial nerve palsy and ordered multiple MRIs. March 29, 2021: The earliest MRI appointment available was April 7, 2021. Scheduled the MRI. April 1, 2021: Had blood drawn at lab as Dr requested. April 2, 2021: Two weeks from the day of COVID19 vaccine #2, my right eyelid would not open at all and the pain was getting worse. April 5, 2021: Went to ER at 4:30am. Triage nurse sent me straight to an ER room and within minutes an ER doctor was there. Within 15 minutes after seeing the ER doctor, a Neurologist was examining me. The nuero doctor was very thorough. While waiting for the MRI, other neurologists and residents also examined me. MRI scans with and without contrast were performed. MRI images were clear ? no tumors, no aneurisms, and no stroke. They concluded that it was a micro-vascular injury to cranial nerve #3. (Similar to the Bells Palsy that I had in 2015.) They prescribed gabapentin to help calm the nerve pain. Follow-up will be with nuero-ophthalmologist.

I laid down on the sofa and must have passed out. 20 minutes later I began to come around but I was way weak and the heart beat was beginning to relax. The body pressure was present till 6pm I did not know what to do at that time other than take a nap. I was not able to eat any food until Saturday 6PM.

experienced hearing loss in his left ear/hearing loss on both ears; his right ear seems like there is water in there or it is underwater/left ear sounds like everything is echoing; immediately things were muffled; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable consumer (patient). A 61-year-old male patient received BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE), via an unspecified route of administration, administered in right upper arm on 27Apr2021 11:00 (Batch/Lot Number: EWO171; Expiration Date: Aug2021) as 1st dose, single for covid-19 immunization. Medical history including hearing was about 80 percent in the left ear/loss of 20-30 percent which started 10 years ago when the patient was 51. The patient has no concomitant medications. No additional vaccines administered on same date of the Pfizer suspect and no prior vaccinations within 4 weeks. After receiving a dose of Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine on 27Apr2021, the patient experienced hearing loss in his left ear, it was barely noticeable but today (04May2021 12:00) there was a dramatic shift and he experienced hearing loss on both ears, it was instantaneous. The patient wanted to know if there are any reports of hearing loss and when could it go away. He has a hearing issue in his left ear that he has had, his hearing was about 80 percent in the left ear and in the right ear it was a 100 percent. Today, at noon he has almost lost his hearing in his left ear and his right ear seems like there is water in there or it is underwater. His left ear sounds like everything is echoing but, he can hear the call handler just fine. His right ear was perfect and now it is messed up. He is worried about that. The patient wonders why that happened and why did they both go. He reported that the shot may have had something to do with it and if it does, what should he do or maybe he is just getting old. He cannot hear in the left ear much; he was just testing it while on hold listening to the music to see how much he had. He felt like there is water in it, not a little, a lot of water and it echoes a little bit and seemed like it's underwater. Started 10 years ago when he was 51, he lost 20-30 percent and it stopped as far as he could tell. He did not get checked out then because he could hear clearly. Today at 12 pm, and it was not gradual, it was like turning a light on, immediately things were muffled. Even when he was putting his hands over his ears, there was like an echo. He was on the phone with his wife at the time. He did not know what happened, so, he went to work, and nothing is changed. He told her something just happened to his ears. He thought of doing something in the meantime and not trying to wait for it to get better. Right ear feels like it is underwater, maybe the left ear is affecting the right the or the weaker ear is being affected more. The right ear is the stronger ear over the left ear. That is what bothering him. His weaker ear is being affected more than his good ear, which his right ear has always been the stronger ear and he never had problems before with his right ear. It was a dramatic switch today at 12pm and his ears have been that way ever since. The left ear feels like its underwater, so much even if he blocks that ear with his finger or his palm. Still there is something going on in both ears. He did not notice the right ear because the other ear was such a shock and he was just dealing with that. He noticed the right side too after trying to see if he could hear out of the left. He had no baseline to go off of for sure or a history. No baseline to go from other than this hearing change of event, which may be totally him. He wanted to see if there is anything related to this because it was so dramatic. The events were not treated. The outcome of the event "experienced hearing loss in his left ear/hearing loss on both ears" was not recovered while the other events were unknown. Information on Lot/Batch number was available. Additional information has been requested.

I was immediately confused about where I was at, when leaving the vaccination site. I immediately felt flush with red splotches on my face. I came home and took a nap just to sleep it off. I woke up with severe tinnitus, a headache, and brain fog. Both the tinnitus and headaches have only gotten worse. The flush feeling, (suspecting higher blood pressure than usual), comes and goes with more frequency as time goes by. The ?brain fog? has been more like brain damage. At first, I just couldn?t think. My ability to think has slowly improved, but it is no where near the same as my abilities prior to the vaccine. My memory has been impaired, both long term and short term. My hand/eye coordination has been impaired. Prior to the vaccine, I didn?t feel my age. After the vaccine I felt like I aged 25 years in a week. I need to figure out what is going on inside my head, and what can be done about it. The degeneration is a serious concern. Both in the severity of the adverse reactions, and in the permanence of the damage. This will be devastating if I?m entering early stages of dementia, decades before the course of natural causes of aging.

Second injection on a Friday. Starting Sunday, 4/18, I have had waxing and waning hives - most pronounced at night but also periodically throughout the day. I also had a swollen lip when I woke Tuesday morning, 4/20/21. The swollen lip returned to normal after about two hours and has not returned. I still have recurring hives that wax and wane throughout the day and at night. I do not consider the hives to be a heavy rash. They are itchy enough today that I took a Benadryl. I would have taken one last night, but I had to drive 3 hours to a funeral today. In addition, following the first vaccination (on 3/26/21), I had a swollen lip that night. I did not consider attributing any of the foregoing symptoms to the vaccine until I read about symptoms at about 2 am this morning. The fact sheet given to me when I got the vaccination really doesn't highlight the potential for a swollen lip or the onset of hives a couple days after the injection. I did not have any immediate reaction to the injection (i.e., none during the 15 minute waiting period following either shot).

The vaccine has aggravated a tinnitus condition that I have had for around 20 years. The perceived "volume" of the ringing in my ears became much louder. This began the day after the vaccine (1st shot), and I have delayed the 2nd shot, and I am considering foregoing the 2nd shot. The volume has increased considerably, and stays fairly constant from day-to-day. To date, I have not seen either my Physician or an ENT - both of which I will be doing soon. Disappointing annoying. I think this was a known issue and was not communicated.

Received 2 dose of Epinephrine during ED visit. 5/13/21 After Janssen vaccine he received at this morning around 8:10 AM. After that he had almost the exact same symptoms with a shooting pain in the left arm and neck some left hand tingling and swelling to the point where he can't get his wedding ring off and a sensation of pressure/tingling/fullness in the left side. Given Benadryl and steroids, initially there is no airway concerns or compromise. However after a period of time, he thought his voice was different. He did sound just slightly raspy, though I did question whether this could be related to dryness from the Benadryl. Regardless given that he did note a change, we opted to go ahead and give a dose of epinephrine, which did resolve his symptoms

31March2021 rec'd the 2nd Pfizer shot. Next morning 1April, multiple stripes of severe muscle pain from both ears, extending down the rear corners of neck across top of both shoulders to the shoulder joints. The 2nd set of severe pain was thin stripes of pain on the left & right sides of the spinal column from the neck to waist. The pain strips along spine disappeared in 3 days. The neck pain has continued to this day with varying intensity, sometimes random increases in pain. 7th of April 2021: Sudden onset of Covid like symptoms: extreme fatigue, extreme nausea, wild swings in perception of body temp from freezing cold which nothing warms me, to internal heat like a very high temp but not exhibiting any outward signs of fever. Felt like internal organs were heating up and nothing else like forehead or limbs etc. The symptoms of 7April2021 kept up for at least 2 weeks. No symptoms occurred together, each symptom came for varying lengths of time before subsiding and the next symptom surfaced. Towards the end of April the intensity of the symptoms was easing and eruptions were getting fewer with more time between. By end of May only the neck pain remained. BUT.... then the other symptoms reappeared in stronger form and still ongoing.

Did not connect adverse event to the vaccination until roughly three days after it was recognized. Had first dose of Pfizer COVID-19 on Friday, January 29, 2021. On the following Sunday or Monday (2 or 3 days post vaccination), I noticed ringing in my ears. I have always had perfect hearing, no issues whatsoever. I knew nothing about tinnitus, so just figured it would go away. Days later, it hadn't gone away so did some research and wondered if it could be associated with the vaccine. Searched the web, but found nothing. Considered calling a hearing specialist (long story so will keep it short), but all info found said there was little that could be done, so did not make the call. Since couldn't find relation to vaccine, received second dose on February 19, 2021 without any other issues. Tinnitus continues as originally noticed. Finally yesterday, I related the Covid vaccine to tinnitus after reading an article on J&J's vaccine candidate that stated tinnitus had been seen as an adverse reaction in the clinical trials.

20 minutes after injection shoulder area started to become number at the injection site. 35 minutes after the injection my neck and face started to become numb. As the numbness traveled from the injection site (left to right) across my neck and face, the numb areas became a "tingling" feeling on face, lips, chin and below the eye. Again traveling from left to right (the injection was in the left arm). Day two the above symptoms have lessened but have not gone away. Starting the same evening of the injection I experienced a progressively worse headache. As of 4/13/2021 I still have some numbness and tingling on the left side of my lower face between my cheek and chin. Headache is going away slowly.

Hours after receiving the 1st Pfizer covid vaccine shot I developed tinnitus in my head seemingly not coming from either ear but is a constant high frequency tone in my head. I still have this condition as of 4/15/2021 and plan to see an ENT but am skeptical he/she can do anything about it. It is not an ear infection where my hearing is reduced. Seems as though my hearing is normal or possibly better if anything. I am very healthy, exercising by biking 20 miles a day 3 times per week on average. I have no physical problems at all. Just this constant tone in my head which I am sure is the result of the vaccine shot. Please help!

Within 1 or 2 minutes after getting the vaccine I started to feel like the left side of my face was becoming flushed. Then I felt my face, and especially my lips, tingle; then I seemed to be having a neurological reaction--it was like the left side of my face was becoming numb. For the rest of the day, the left side of my face felt very different from the right-side. There was some pain around the temple. The next day, and even through today, 5 days later, the problem has been mainly around my eye. My eye often feels irritation when I blink and there is some muscular quivering of my lower eyelid. After speaking to my brother who is a radiologist he decided that it was unlikely to be an allergic reaction, and because the feeling of my face on the left side was reminiscent of the feeling I had a year ago when I had shingles around my left eye, he thought the reaction could very well be related to shingles. In other words, there was a activation of a response that resembled my shingles episode. This was bolstered by my speaking with my neighbor who also had the pfizer vaccine who said she had a very similar reaction affecting her face that lasted several days, and she,years before, had shingles on her face (as well as the shingles vaccine).

On 04Apr2021, he was taken to the emergency room and admitted to the hospital. They had been running test after test and can't seem to find anything wrong. The doctor thought that it was some kind of reaction to the vaccine. The patient was still running a high fever over 102 and was still experiencing fatigue and headaches on and off, and horrible chills and night sweats. The patient wanted to wait until the day after Easter to go to the hospital but started experiencing new symptoms. He was starting to experience blurred vision. Was then taken to the emergency room.

At the hospital, they kept giving him Tylenol to bring the fever down. He had been shaking like crazy. Had horrible chills and night sweats. He had no energy. He had not had the second dose. They cannot find anything else wrong. He was a health nut and run five miles a day. Took good care of himself. He seemed ok the first 2 weeks. Had been a week that he still can't break the fever. When looked up the symptoms, he had everything except for nausea. He also had blurred vision. They did a spinal tap, echocardiogram, EKG and blood work. He had seen 5 different doctors. The fever was highest at 103.7 and has consistently been over 102. With Tylenol, it had gone down to 99 or 100 but always shoots back up. 2 weeks after the shot, he took his temperature and wasn't feeling good all day. He stayed home from Wednesday until Sunday when he started experiencing new crazy vision symptoms. Stated that started Saturday. He was taken to the hospital on Easter and was admitted to the hospital, and was still there. The vision problem was new and it started to develop Saturday night. It was double vision, like looking in a fun house mirror. He still experienced the double and blurry vision now but only occasionally, when he tried to get up. It was on and off when he had to get up to go to the bathroom. He was still freezing and had shake and chills. He got night sweats and fever, chills, and did not feel like himself. The reporter didn't think he had high cholesterol or high blood pressure, diabetes, or anything like that. Tests: They did bloodwork, CT scans, MRI of the brain, echocardiogram, EKG, spinal tap. There were no white blood cells found in the spinal tap and that the echocardiogram was good. Everything came back normal. He had seen cardiologists, neurologists, gastroenterologists, primary care doctors, and no one can find anything. They did another kind of test regarding his vision. Her brother was depressed and wanted his energy back. It had been a whole week. The outcome of the events high fever (over 102, 103.7, 102.7, 99 or 100) and blurred vision was not recovered, outcome of the remaining events was unknown. The patient was hospitalized for high fever (over 102, 103.7, 102.7, 99 or 100) and blurred vision from 04Apr2021 to an unknown date. The reporter was not sure if this was happening because of the vaccine. Follow-up attempts are completed. No further information is expected. Information about lot/batch number cannot be obtained.

Two most recent crowns (One crown was about a year ago, the other was 5 months ago.) on two teeth on left side became very painful. Very similar to the same pain I experienced right after the crown was applied, with the exception that the pain would come and go. I would have no pain at all, then 5 minutes later the pain would increase to about a level 5. After about a half hour to an hour, the pain would subside. This would repeat many times a day. One week from the shot, I visited my dentist, but they didn't find any problems with the crowns. They gave me Amoxicillin thinking it may be an infection. I don't think it was because it was both of the teeth, one on top, one on the bottom at the exact same time. In the course of the next week the pain gradually subsided. Today it is almost completely gone and only on the most recent crown.

After getting the first dose of the Pfizer vaccine, I just experienced arm soreness for the first 24 hours, but then I noticed my tinnitus which I had slightly for many years had become louder and constant. Right now I'd say it is a 3/10. My concern is that if I get the second dose that it will become even louder. My second dose was supposed to be today, but unless the tinnitus diminishes I do not want to risk a second shot for a 10-15% efficacy increase for Covid

They said it was a stroke (and it did show on an MRI the next day but sub-centimeter and I was told the size of a pinhead. AT the ER the double vision in my left eye and numbness in left lips, gum and tongue were already subsiding, but the DR there gave me a Plavix and within 5 minutes I was completely back to normal (or close). I am not sure IF that first dose of vaccine had anytrhing to do with this TIA, but it might have? I had also stopped taking my 81mg aspirin several days before this TIA as I had a Periodontal appointment for insertion of an implant post and wanted to control the possible bleeding. The thoughts of my Doctor at Hospital as well as the Neurologists was that the omission of the aspirin PROBABLY was the main cause of the temporary clotting that caused this event HOWEVER I did not tell them that I was 17 days post-Covid Pfizer vax #1 and so the possibility remains that the vaccine could have been partially the cause of this event? As listed previously, Dr at Hospital was my Doctor and might shed some light on this and her thoughts. I felt it was important enough to report as I have heard stories of all of the vaccines possibly causing some clotting and this might fit.

Since receiving a single dose of Pfizer-BioNTech three days ago on May 5, 2021, I now have Tinnitus as loud as the construction noise coming from a crew that's building a 3-story house 100 feet away from our home. Another comparison of the Tinnitus noise level I now experience is this: if you've ever boarded a jet from the tarmac while the jet's engines are running, that's the noise I hear now.

He was very thirsty and drank a lot of water (4 liters of bottled water). He was then urinating and sweating a lot as a way of his body trying to get rid of something in his body. He was urinating more than he normally does. He started getting harder for him to breath. He noticed he had a bad taste in his mouth similar to when he had the COVID virus. He got a horrible splitting headache/migraine type that kept coming and going. He still has the taste in his mouth, and it affected the taste of food. These were all symptoms similar to when he had COVID. The headache was worse than when he had the virus.

The first day, I was fine. The next day, I was fatigued. Over the weekend, I was very exhausted. I did not have any sweats or anything. Easter weekend, that's when it all hit. I woke up at midnight feeling ice cold to the point that I couldn't get up to get another blanket. I slept pretty much all day the next day. About a week or so later, I started noticed little red bumps on my ankles that itched. It then spread to my knees, elbows, and lower arms. That was towards the middle of April. I kind of ignored it. I began to wonder if I was having a reaction to the shot. I started hearing a ringing in my left ear and I am still experiencing that. My PCP told me to see a dermatologist after looking at the bumps because he didn't know. I saw the dermatologist on May 19, 2021. He told me to take Zyrtec 3xday. My PCP told me to take prednisone and it didn't do anything. I also saw an ENT on June 8, 2021. He did a hearing test and said there was some loss of hearing in my left ear. He put me on an extended period of prednisone. It did not make it go away in my case. I went back to see him about 2 weeks later. He recommended for me to have a cortisone injection into the ear drum or behind the ear drum. I decided not to do that. My PCP concurred with my decision. The red bumps are now sporadic. Every 3 or 4 days they show up. I think whatever is causing it is now moving through my system. I have noticed a change in my eye sight on the left side. I have a scheduled eye doctor appointment on July 6, 2021. I have noticed an all of a sudden difference in the last 6 weeks.

He provided the Feosol 325mg, NDC Number: 12451-10-17 (unsure if he provided the correct NDC), Lot Number: 201167, and Expiration Date: Jul2022. At around 2:30-3:00PM on 31Jan2021, he developed a rash on his hip and back, saying the hip and back rash were along the same pathway. He said he spoke to a PA (physician assistant) about his rash. He said on 31Jan2021 he had taken 1 oral dose of the Levaquin 250mg. He said the PA discontinued the oral Levaquin 250mg, and changed his prescription to Macrobid 100mg, twice a day, for 5 days. He said he started the Macrobid 100mg, twice a day, on Monday, 01Feb2021. He said he completed the Macrobid 100mg prescription on Sunday, 07Feb2021, and did not have the Macrobid 100mg NDC, Lot and Expiration Date. He clarified his rash was raised, oozy, and looked weird, like a pimple that came to head. He said he spoke to his dermatologist on a video call Sunday, 31Jan2021. He said his dermatologist told him he had shingles and prescribed Valtrex 1gram, three times a day, for 7-10 days. He stated the Valtrex 1gram was dispensed in a pharmacy bottle. He said he took his first Valtrex 1gram dose on Sunday evening, 31Jan2021, and was still taking the Valtrex 1gram as of today (08Feb2021). He had an appointment to see his dermatologist in person on Wednesday, 03Feb2021, but woke up with a wicked headache that morning, so he took paracetamol and went back to sleep. He said when he woke, he still had headache, and his left eye was totally blurry. He said back in Nov2020 he had fallen at work and landed on his left side, hitting his head and left knee. He said his fall left him with a knot on the left side of his head, and he had bleeding from above his left eyebrow, and had a left black eye. He said he also had a subarachnoid hemorrhage. He said he had a CT scan of his head that showed the subarachnoid hemorrhage was contained, so the doctors wanted to just monitor him. He said he was on Effient at the time and the doctors changed him to Plavix. He said he also was taking Aspirin 81mg. He said he was taken off of Plavix on 27Jan2021 when he was admitted to the hospital for having blood and blood clots in his urine. He said he continues to take the Aspirin 81mg daily. He clarified he has been on compensation since his fall in Nov2020. He said he also had cataract surgery 2 years ago. He said he immediately called his eye doctor, and then went to the hospital Emergency Room because he thought he had a stroke. He said the Emergency room did a CAT scan and CTA of his head, which were both normal. He said a neurologist saw him in the Emergency Room, and said since it was a headache with one eye blurriness, he should see his eye doctor. He said the neurologist told him if he had a headache and both eyes were blurry, it would more likely have been a stroke. He stated when he was discharged from the Emergency Room on 03Feb2020, he went directly to his eye doctor. He said his eye doctor did several tests: field of vision, a sonogram, pictures of his left eye, and a dilation of his eyes. He said he had an eye test where he looked at a half circle and clicked a counter when he saw dots, and another eye test where he stared at something that looked like a hot air balloon, while the eye doctor took measurements. He said the eye doctor also measured his eye pressure, which was normal. He said he was at his eye doctor's office for a good couple of hours. He said his eye doctor told him that he has little white dots on the background area of his eyes that indicates he has severe eye dryness. He said his left eye is much worse than right eye. He said his eye doctor asked him if he took Crack, or Cocaine, or any kind of opioids in the last few weeks. He said he told his doctor he took 1 dose of an opioid on 31Jan2021 because of the shingles pain. He clarified he had a Percocet prescription leftover from his hospitalization in Nov2020. He said he took another dose of the Percocet the week before 31Jan2021 for pain in his knee from the fall he had in Nov2020. He said his eye doctor told him his dry eyes could be caused by the Percocet. He said his eye doctor prescribed lubricating eye drops (Refresh Optive Mega 3, UPC Number: 0023577330, Lot Number: T095, and Expiration Date: Aug2022), that he is to use in both eyes every hour, and an eye ointment in his left eye only at bedtime. He had been using crutches when he walks because of the problem with his right knee since he fell in Nov2020. He said on 06Feb2021, he took a shower, and when he went to get out of the shower, his right leg gave out. He said he didn't fall, but he couldn't walk afterwards. He said he went to the Emergency Room on 06Feb2021, and an x-ray and sonogram were done of his right knee. He said he was told he had another soft tissue injury like he had when he fell back in Nov2020. He said he was given a leg immobilizer to use. He said when he first fell in Nov2020, he originally fell on his left knee. He said he has had PT since being discharged from the hospital on 17Nov2020. He said he also had a pacemaker implanted while he was in the hospital in Nov2020. He said after his discharge from the hospital on 17Nov2020, he went to take shower at home on 18Nov2020 and his left knee gave out. He said he was able to lower himself to the floor in the shower stall, but he couldn't get out of the shower stall. He said he was left sitting on his left leg and he couldn't use his right leg. He said he finally got himself to bed, and iced his right knee because he sat on it for over an hour. He said the next day (19Nov2020), he couldn't walk and had to have an ambulance take him to Emergency Room. He said he hasn't had PT since 27Jan2021, and needs clearance from his doctor before he can restart PT. He said he has been without PT for 2 weeks now. He said on 06Feb2021 he was unable to get a MRI on his knee because he had too much swelling that would have made the MRI imaging cloudy. On 06Feb2021 he was due for his second COVID-19 Vaccine, so before he was discharged from the Emergency Room he was given his second COVID-19 Vaccine dose. He was using the Refresh Optive Mega 3 eye drops constantly now. He said he had no fever, but is more tired than in the past. He said the last couple of days he can sleep for hours, and wake up and feel like he can go right back to sleep. He said he and his cardiologist are concerned because since 27Jan2021, he has only been on Aspirin 81mg. He said he has 3 cardiac stents since Oct2020, and should be on dual therapy. He said he had a CT of his abdomen and pelvis while he was in the hospital. He said he has been off of Plavix since 27Jan2021, and can restart the Plavix until he has a cystoscopy. He wants to know if UTIs in men are common after getting the COVID-19 Vaccine, so he can decide if he should cancel the cystoscopy and restart his Plavix. The second COVID-19 Vaccine Lot number as EL9261 or EI9261. He stated the vaccine lot number was handwritten on his COVID-19 Vaccine immunization card and was difficult to read the handwritten vaccine lot number. The patient underwent lab tests and procedures which included bacterial sepsis: gram negative urinary tract infection on 28Jan2021. Clarified he had no pain, burning, or urgency with the UTI. He said he was told by the hospital he had gram negative rods in his urine, when he was started on the IV Ceftriaxone on 29Jan2021. He stated he has never had a UTI before. Clarified his body temperature is rarely 98.6 degrees, and is normally 98.2 degrees and he had never had shingles before. He said he had chicken pox as a young adult, and he only had 1 spot of chicken pox. He had never had dry eyes before. Reporter seriousness for fever, UTI, injection site pain, injection site redness, injection site puffiness, rash, shingles were medically significant. For other events were unspecified. The outcome of event injection site pain, injection site redness, injection site puffiness was recovered on 31Jan2021, dry eye, tiredness was not recovered, while the outcomes of other events were unknown.; Sender's Comments: Based on the temporal association and the known possible local reaction, a possible contributory role of BNT162B2 to the development of injection site pain, redness, and puffiness cannot be excluded. The other events are considered as due to underlying or intercurrent conditions and unrelated to the use of BNT162B2.

I received my first Pfizer vaccine on 3/9. This past Thursday, 3/18/21, I woke up with increased tinnitus (I?ve always had some) and hearing reduction in my right ear. It reminded me of a middle ear infection I had in my youth but this one had resulted in no pain, fever, or dizziness. I do not have a cold or any infectious respiratory issues. I found that it did resolve somewhat if I?d move to a higher elevation and as the day progressed. My left ear would have short spells that would eventually resolve. This continued through Sunday evening when my right ear cleared and I noticed a foul taste in my mouth. Today it?s resumed somewhat, not to the level it was at before, with a little congestion in my left ear...it "crackles" a little when I swallow, but often will clear if I yawn or cough. I did a little research about the Pfizer vaccine and this situation is listed as a possible side effect that is supposed to be reported, so I am doing so.

Approximately 6 hours after the vaccination, I experienced a severe tinnitus, or ringing in the left ear. I have never experience this level of ringing before, although I have had mild and mostly unnoticeable tinnitus for some time. This was many times more severe. While the intensity has settled down somewhat, I now have a constant, unremitting ringing in my left ear that is loud enough to be bothersome most of the day. It is still many times louder than anything I have experienced before. I had no other noise exposure or out-of-the-ordinary events that might trigger this.

Basically with the second shot I got all of the symptoms I had when I got covid in November. After the first shot I only got about half of these symptoms.

Concerned she took him to the hospital where he was assessed for stroke, TIA, all tests were negative. Consumer states, "my fiance was hospitalized over the weekend, we do feel it was exactly 30 days after second dose of Pfizer dose, from what I read in medical articles. I see that there were some cases of Palsy experienced by people in clinical trial. He is currently at home. He was in the hospital (emergency room)from 7am on 18Apr2021 and left at 3:50pm that same day against medical advise due to they did not have a neurologist. They wanted to admit him and transfer him to another facility because they didn't have a neurologist available. She clarified her fiance's adverse event as ptosis of his right eye. She said her fiance had diagnostics and blood work performed while at the Emergency Room. She said she wasn't positive if the blood work performed was a CBC and basic blood chemistry, but the blood work results were normal. She said the hospital she brought her fiance to did not have a neurologist on staff. She said the hospital wanted to admit and transfer her fiance to a specialized hospital with a neurologist on the premises. She said her fiance's condition did not worsen while at the Emergency Room, but she felt her fiance was not being monitored closely, and was not getting any care. She said since her fiance was not receiving anything at the Emergency Room, and the Emergency Room didn't have the bandwidth to address his issues, and nothing was done to transport him to another hospital, her fiance left the Emergency Room against medical advice (AMA). She said her fiance went to a neurologist on Monday (19Apr2021). Emergency Room Visit Treatment: Stated her fiance was given Oxycodone while at the Emergency Room. She said she did not know the Oxycodone dose, NDC, Lot, and Expiration Date. She said the Oxycodone was administered for leg pain (both legs) caused by a pre-existing condition her fiance had. She said her fiance normally took Ropinirole for his leg pain. Consumer reported her fiance had follow-up testing done at the neurologist on Monday (19Apr2021), and was waiting for the test results to come back. She clarified the neurologist was doing the follow-up testing to confirm or rule-out a diagnosis of Myasthenia Gravis. Consumer reported when she took her fiance to the Emergency room she thought he was going to be assessed for a possible TIA or stroke, but when it was mentioned her fiance may have Myasthenia Gravis, it was equally concerning. Neurologist Visit Treatment: She stated the neurologist prescribed Pyridostigmine 60mg on Monday (19Apr2021) for her fiance to start taking while the doctor waited for the blood work and repetitive nerve conduction study results to come back. She said the doctor's logic was to take the Pyridostigmine 60mg, and see if the ptosis resolved, and if the ptosis resolved the doctor would know the cause of the ptosis. She said her fiance's right eye ptosis had not improved, changed, or resolved since he started taking the Pyridostigmine 60mg. She said she did not have the Pyridostigmine 60mg NDC, Lot, and Expiration Date. The patient underwent lab tests and procedures which included blood gases (ABG): unknown on 18Apr2021, Vital capacity: normal on 18Apr2021, Blood test: unknown on 18Apr2021, COVID-19: negative on 18Apr2021; vital signs measurement: normal on 18Apr2021 .

About nine days after the first Pfizer vaccine I noticed a pain in my left tooth where is was difficult to chew. I thought perhaps it was a cracked tooth or abscess but it spread throughout my mouth making it painful to chew any food. It seems that the nerves above the teeth were somehow infected or something. I had pain around my eyes and once in my left ear. I suspected Sinusitis or something but was not sure as I had never had this happen before. I had my dentist look at it. The metal tapping tool showed no cracks. The xrays showed no tooth problems, nor any sign of sinus inflammation. I reported it to me doctor and he told me to report it on VAERS as a possible side effect of the vaccine. It was severe for about two weeks and has since returned to normal.

Tinnitus; Fatigue; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable consumer (patient). A 64-year-old male patient received BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, Solution for injection), via an unspecified route of administration administered in left arm on 05Mar2021 at 11:20 (Lot number & expiry date were not reported) (at the age of 64-years-old) as 1st dose, single dose; then via an unspecified route of administration, administered in left arm (shoulder area) on 26Mar2021 at 10:30 (Lot number & expiry date were not reported) (at the age of 64-years-old) as 2nd dose, single dose for COVID-19 immunisation. Vaccination facility type was reported as unknown and vaccine was not administered at military facility. No other vaccines given the same day and no problem with vaccines in past. There were no adverse events (AEs) following prior vaccinations. Medical history included ongoing multiple sclerosis (MS). History of all previous immunization with the Pfizer vaccine considered as suspect and family medical history relevant to AEs were reported as none. The patient's concomitant medications included Gabapentin and modafinil (PROVIGIL) from unspecified date and unknown if ongoing. The patient previously took interferon (unspecified) at 10mg. The doctor thought that since he has not had any relapse, he was okay not to take Interferon anymore. He wanted Pfizer to know he does have an auto-immune issue. He had used Interferon and then an oral medicine, but unable to provide NDC, Lot, or expiry for either product since it has been 3 years since he'd been on that. He did mention taking Gabapentin before bed and Provigil in the morning. The patient experienced tinnitus and fatigue on Mar2021 and ongoing. The patient reported side effects after the administration of the COVID-19 vaccine. He had the first dose on 05Mar2021 and second dose on 26Mar2021. After the first shot his tinnitus started and he was also fatigued. Patient clarified he didn't go to the doctor for the fatigue, but the tinnitus. He only mentioned the tinnitus. He also went to the doctor today and noticed since the vaccine and how ironic besides having the tinnitus how much more fatigue he has. He never took naps in the afternoon and now he does, he needs to. He is much more fatigued, and he even does yoga and notices his balance also. Before today's visit he had seen specialist, ENT (ear, nose, throat) doctor and told him the same thing and had asked if what he experienced was possible. He saw the ENT doctor on 31Mar2021 and was told he did not know if that was very common, but prescribed him steroids, which he took. He stated that with the steroids the tinnitus didn't get any better and he is not better now. He got ahold of his family provider recently to see if there was anything else that could be done like cleaning ears for wax or seeing if there was an infection, or something since he had no relief from the ENT visit. Later he clarified that steroids given by ENT was Prednisone 10mg tablets. He had 69 tablets and it was pretty strong and has used them all. He noticed the tinnitus maybe the week after getting the first dose. He didn't really think much about it, but it kept ongoing. This has been ongoing since after first and second shot. The event tinnitus did not require a visit to the Emergency Room but required a visit to Physician Office. Relevant tests done was unknown. The outcome of the events was not recovered. No follow-up attempts are completed; information about lot/batch number cannot be obtained.

Shortness of Breath for few days after vaccine #1; after vaccine #2 shortness of breath increased along 10 day period, so I contacted PCP. Clinical exam, chest xray, blood work resulted D-Dimer level increase, so CT scan ordered. Result was lungs full of PE. Placed on Eliquis and referred to hematologist. Hematologist ordered deeper dive in blood work as well as echocardiogram, which displayed a widening in aortic root and ascending aorta, but no ventricular or valve damage. Dr. will continue to monitor and refer me to cardiologist. Other symptoms include unprovoked fatigue, some shortness of breath, a strange smell of burning plastic and cramping of the upper part of my feet, only at night. Never tested posit positive for COVID with wife and son both had "undocumented" COVID in January and March 2020. They both have antibodies (confirmed with blood testing) and I did not have antibodies. Our physician would not authorize a test for COVID at the time of their symptoms as tests were so coveted and not authorized widely at the times of their illnesses. I really want someone to come forward and confirm the causation and correlation of my symptoms to the vaccine, because I am otherwise an extremely health and active 64 year old with no preexisting or predisposed conditions to widespread PE...not just a clot or two...it is wide spread throughout all lobes of my lungs!

Immediately within two minutes, strange disoriented feeling, heavy sweating and weakness. Sitting down I lost vision in my right eye (just dark grey with a tiny blurry spot of light in the center). Left eye could not focus. After about twenty minutes, both eyes became very sensitive to light (like a pupil dilation test in an eye exam). This lasted about additional 10 minutes. I remained pretty weak for the next hour but was then ok. The next day I felt 100%.

The patient's medical history included COPD treated by CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure), high blood pressure, cancerous tumors removed from bladder, atrial fibrillation. The patient's history of all previous immunization with the Pfizer vaccine considered as suspect was none. The patient had no additional administered vaccines on same date with the Pfizer vaccine. The patient did not required any visit to emergency room or physician office. The patient had no loss of taste and smell within 4 weeks of prior vaccinations. The patient had no adverse events following prior vaccinations. The patient had no predisposing factors. No culture test was performed. The patient's concomitant medications included Eliquis (apixaban) taken for cardiac disorder from Feb2021 to an unspecified stop date; lisinopril and metoprolol tartrate for an unspecified indication. The patient called about the COVID-19 vaccine. The patient had his first COVID-19 vaccine on 17Mar2021. The patient had no issues with the first vaccine. About 2 weeks after the first dose received maybe around 01Apr2021, the patient started sneezing, having some phlegm, and coughing stuff up. The patient used a CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) machine at night. Around 09Apr2021, the patient lost his taste and smell. The patient was scheduled for his second COVID-19 vaccine on 10Apr2021 but thought his symptoms were worse than the patient originally thought. The patient went to his doctor on 09Apr2021. The patient's doctor did the nasal swab for the COVID-19 virus. The patient never had a fever or chills. The patient's doctor gave him some erythromycin. The patient also did some blood tests. The patient's COVID-19 virus test came back negative. On the results of his blood tests on the first page, the first thing it says are that the patient's COVID-19 results were negative. The patient's doctor told him that the patient's body showed no response to the COVID-19 vaccine. The patient did not see that this blood test was testing for antibodies. Later in blood test paperwork the patient saw that it said antibodies not detected, does not preclude acute Sars-Cov-2 infection. The patient's paperwork said IgG and IgM were negative.

The patient took a nuclear stress test and that was ok and now the patient was wearing a heart monitor. The patient's reading from his blood test results. The patient's D-dimer result was 0.44. In the reference range it said anything less than 0.50 was a normal range. But the patient was taking Eliquis and his doctor told him his D-dimer should be zero. The patient's doctor told him his D dimer was elevated. The patient's doctor believed the first COVID-19 vaccine has something to do with his D-dimer result. The caller reports that the patient heard about the Johnson and Johnson vaccine and blood clots but he had not heard anything about Pfizer having problems with blood clots or anything of that nature. The patient now has his second COVID-19 vaccine scheduled for next day on 23Apr2021. The patient's follow up visit with his doctor was on 17Apr2021. The patient's doctor advised him to wait until mid May2021 and start all over with the COVID-19 vaccines but this time his doctor wants him to get the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine. The patient was not sure why his doctor was wanting him to stay away from Pfizer. Was there an indication that the patient was not aware of that the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine would cause his D dimer to be elevated at 0.44. The patient was aware and there may be other factors that cause his D dimer to be elevated. The patient just wants to see if he can get his second COVID-19 vaccine. The patient just wants to get the vaccine and get on with his life. The patient would not get the vaccine if there was a known reason not to get it. The outcome of the events was unknown. No follow-up attempts are needed; information about lot/batch number cannot be obtained.

Dr. performed the surgery. The night of April 7 I had searing pain in my right eye and a sort of migraine on my right side. Pain dissipated some the next day but came back intermittently. I went to on call that saturday, received an avastin injection and was told to come back Monday. I was diagnosed with acute glaucoma, had surgery on the 12th of may and was blind in my right eye for about a month while the blood in my eye was reduced by meds and drops. It is still not back to normal, but I can see from the eye.

I developed vision abberations such that when i focus or concentrate (e.g. reading a book or computer screen) my vision would 'jump' or 'blink' or flicker causing me to not follow words I had been reading. Very clearly concentration of attention driven. This condition came on slowly. It took weeks after injections for the symptoms to develop. They remain. And seem to be getting more severe. My opthamologist has refered me to a neuroopthamologist. I can not think of any other causative factor in the last years, month, and weeks that could account for what I am experiencing. I have had NO illnesses. I have not had Covid-19 to the best of my knowledge. (Note: date & time given for #5 above is approximate)

Pronounced change in taste/smell. These senses were not lost, but changed in pronounced ways. Foods commonly left bad (metallic) aftertaste in mouth, and highly spiced foods sometimes caused either immediate sneezing (as in allergies) or gut discomfort. During this period I noticed episodes of sinus and/or ear infections. The symptoms started around the time of first injection, although I did not recognize them as a pattern for some time. The strength of the symptoms fluctuate in time. 3.5 months after the 1st injection it seems that taste/smell is becoming more normal, although there may be some residual, fluctuating symptoms.

A 64-year-old male patient received BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINATION; lot number: ENG206), via an unspecified route of administration in right arm, on 17Mar2021 at 13:00 as dose 2, single for COVID-19 immunization. Medical history included heart attack from 1994, left side kidney removed in 2015 and single functional kidney on right side from 2015. The patient's concomitant medications were not reported.

The patient previously took (UBRELVY) for migraine and visual distortion. The patient had a headache and stiff neck really for no apparent reason and they continued. Then he noticed that his peripheral vision and vision was bad with visual distortion in Mar2021. He called his primary care provider and told him about this, and he was prescribed a steroid pack and for 2 months he was provided a muscle relaxer to help. They provided some relief but didn't get rid of it. Believes the steroid was a Zpack for inflammation and was unable to provide the name of the muscle relaxer or the NDC, Lot, or expiry for either Zpack or muscle relaxer given. Eventually, they continued and after he had the visual distortion, he went to an eye doctor to make sure nothing was wrong like a tumor that was causing the headaches or stiff neck. Eye doctor told him nothing wrong with his eyes and they were fine, not tumor, he just had migraines and he never had migraines before. He saw a neurologist and was diagnosed with migraines. On the first neurology appointment, they gave him an injection in the stomach, but he does not know the name of it. The second visit was given shots in the back of head and back of neck. On that next visit, he got a shot in the stomach and most of it was quiet down with the migraines and the visual distortion and he still had them. The patient was then given a drug to take to help when they flared up, for break through migraines in 2021. It was 100mg. He was given the free ones and he could only take up to 10 in a month. He was given 4 of them and only had to use 2 of them and the migraines and visual distortion has gone away. Provides NDC, lot number 1843724 and expiry of Jul2022. He started this in Apr2021 or in May2021 after his first visit with neurologist, (withheld). During the same time, he had the migraines and also started having pains in his upper thighs, felt like in his muscles. States imagine little bubbles like they are going to pop was how it felt in 2021. They went away and stopped. He then started to have back stuff, pains that started in Mar2021 or Apr2021. They stopped after 7-8 days later and then they were gone. He was then sent to a nerve specialist and they did a conduction nerve test to see if what happened affected his nerves and the test was fine. Then all of a sudden, after one thing happened and went away another one would start and then his lower back got so painful so that he could hardly walk and went to an orthopedist thinking it could be a pinched nerve in 2021. They did x-rays but could not see anything that caused this kind of pain. They didn't give him anything, but 7 days after that he was fine ever since, and it just went away. He also had pains in the upper arms that felt like someone was giving him shots at the same time in both arms and also a kind that hurts and stays hurting. Felt like they didn't pull out the needle, like someone was pressing the needle in the arm, directly in the area you are getting a shot, but this feeling lasted much longer. Had this very same feeling in the top of both shoulders and they were intermittent. One minute he would have them and the next they could last about 5 minutes, or it could be gone for 5 hours and show up again in 5 minutes. It was not consistent and happen every hour. This also resolved in May2021 along with the migraines. Patient had pains at top of shoulders fell in line with his neck, where the soft spot between the collar bone is which was like getting a shot in his arm. Again, he no longer has these symptoms and no problems with vaccines in the past. Provides he had second dose on 17Mar2021 in left arm and lot number of ENG206. No further details provided. Started in the beginning of Jun probably, it's been about two and half weeks. He had not been able to use his hands. They are numb, tingling, feel swollen, he can't bend them or hold things for maybe a couple of minutes. He can't grip anything in Jun2021 and also got worsened in 2021. Extending from the tip of his fingers all the way up to the shoulders, in his left arm especially causes the wrist to hurt in Jun2021. It hurts all up to the left shoulder. In the right arm it only goes up to the bicep and these have gotten worse and are continuing to get worse. The patient was given tramadol for that pain and unable to provide NDC, Lot, or expiry from orange pharmacy for tramadol bottle. He takes 50mg, 1-2 tablets by mouth four times daily. It was prescribed 16Jun2021 and expires 16Jun2022. These pain pills help some, it takes the pain away, but does not allow him to grip with his hands or anything else. Now it may sound crazy, but when he coughed it would make him feel like the inside of his biceps were going to explode. It went away and only lasted a week. After a week this went away, but to touch it hurts after he coughed. Still had tenderness in both sides in the muscles, but at that time it felt like they were exploding outwards. Again, mentions he no longer has this. His feet are swollen up and he has never had that before now. Went back to see his heart doctor. He had gone to have a Covid test and heart test in Jan2021. With the swelling in the feet, he felt it had something to do with the heart and he went to see the cardiologist where they asked about testing which was done by primary care provider and also had antinuclear antibody testing done with primary care and that test came back with no arthritis in the hands on an unknown date. The patient mentioned he had a heart attack at age 38 before he had COVID vaccine, since he is 64 now. He didn't have any chest pains and didn't fall under those heart symptom questions asked. None had anything to do with his heart and the provider felt symptoms probably due to with the vaccine, but there is not enough information out there on it yet. He saw about 6 specialist and they all say the same thing. The patient still had his feet and hands swelling.

Received first dose vaccine, a day later all the typical side effects of flu like symptoms occurred: The caller states this occurred after the patient received the first dose Pfizer Covid Vaccine. The symptoms have gone away after the third day. The caller has not asked the specific question if the patient recovered with lasting effects or recovered completely and does not know. Had to get up in the middle of the night to raise arms because couldnot breathe: When asked when this began the caller states her brother must have had the first dose Pfizer Covid Vaccine on Friday, 09Jul2021, or it could have been Thursday, 08Jul2021.

The caller is not sure and has heard so many different reports. Causality: When asked causality for each symptom, the caller replies, she certainly thinks the flu like symptoms are related to the first dose Pfizer Covid Vaccine. The caller does believe something must have happened to cause his condition to spiral down hill. The patient had some symptoms prior to receiving the first dose Pfizer Covid Vaccine but these were all manageable and not a problem. The caller doesn't know if the patient having the flu like symptoms may have put extra stress on the patient's heart.

It was either 08Jul2021 or 09Jul2021. ~ Information on the lot/batch number has been requested.; Sender's Comments: Based on known drug safety profile, there is reasonable possibility of causal association between the event headache, fatigue, joint pain, muscle pain and the suspect drug BNT162B2.

No event did require a visit to Emergency Room or Physician Office. No relevant tests performed. Therapeutic measures were taken as a result of chills, fever, general malaise, low grade headache, sweating. Course of events: He said initially he had no adverse events after receiving the COVID-19 Vaccine, except injection site pain. He said he thought the injection site pain could be from the COVID-19 Vaccine being viscous, and didn't think anything else about the injection site pain. On 03Jan2021 he started to experience some. He stated he did not normally take vaccines, like the flu vaccine. He said he has been a podiatrist for 39 years, and realized the importance of getting the vaccine to protect his patients. He then developed chills, muscle pain, fever, and general malaise. He said he experienced every side effect listed on the received COVID-19 Vaccine paperwork, except he had no lymphadenopathy. He said all the side effects he experienced appeared 24 hours to the minute from when he received the COVID-19 Vaccine. On 03Jan2021, he had swelling in his cheeks and around his eyes. He did not get sick often. He said he had a rough night on 03Jan2021 and on 03Jan2021 he still felt wiped out. Treatment: he took 2 Tylenol 325mg at the start of the side effects, and then took another 2 Tylenol 325mg at 2:00AM. He said he woke up soaking wet with chills and sweats. He said his fever broke, but he did not know how high his fever was. He took from a fresh bottle of Tylenol 325mg. The outcome of injection site pain, cheek swelling, periorbital swelling/swelling around his eyes, feeling wiped out, muscle pain, joint pain, general malaise was recovering, of chills, fever, sweating was recovered in Jan2021, of low grade headache was not recovered.

Previous to Pfizer vaccines I had chronic tinnitus with mild symptoms. I'm a retired dentist. I wasn't aware of any changes in my tinnitus after the 1st vaccine. But after the 2nd vaccine I noticed a definite profound increase in my tinnitus. It is now on the verge of being debilitating in nature. It is now pulsating and much louder, very difficult to ignore even during day time activities. Before my tinnitus was bilaterally equal, now I would say my right ear is louder than my left. But both are louder than before. Today marks about 50 days since 2nd vaccine, and I think its actually getting progressively worse! Hopefully this is not permanent.

Starting on or about 4/5/21 severe headache that I treated as a sinus infection from seasonal allergies. Stayed inside. stopped smoking (marijuana), nasal mist. Very dry sinuses and eyes especially the left eye. The pain proceeded to worsen and I rinsed my sinuses with nasal mist which eventually relieved the pain. At one point during the rinsing I had a short flow of blood from my sinuses. I used eye drops for the dryness in my eyes. I had occasional pain in my legs during the week of the 5th followed by extreme back and leg pain on the 11th. This pain and spasms mainly effected regions where I have had long term weakness. I still have minor pain as is typical.

increase in my tinnitus/ right ear is louder than my left; This is a spontaneous report received from a contactable other healthcare professional (retired dentist/ also the patient). A 65-year-old male patient received bnt162b2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE), second dose via an unspecified route of administration, administered in Arm Left on 08Feb2021 16:45 (Batch/Lot Number: EL9264) as SINGLE DOSE for covid-19 immunisation. The patient was vaccinated at a hospital. Medical history included Chronic tinnitus from an unknown date and unknown if ongoing (Patient had chronic tinnitus with mild symptoms, Before the vaccines). The patient was not diagnosed with COVID-19 prior to vaccination, also not been tested for COVID-19 since the vaccination. The patient had no allergies to medications, food, or other products. The patient did not receive any other vaccines within 4 weeks prior to the COVID vaccine, and no any other medications the patient received within 2 weeks of vaccination. The patient's concomitant medications were not reported. The patient previously took bnt162b2 first dose on 18Jan2021 (lot number: EK4176) on 18Jan2021 in left arm for covid-19 immunization. It was reported by the patient that: "previous to the vaccines I had chronic tinnitus with mild symptoms. I am a retired dentist. I was not aware of any changes in my tinnitus after the 1st vaccine. But after the 2nd vaccine I noticed a definite profound increase in my tinnitus (on 21Feb2021). It is now on the verge of being debilitating in nature. It is now pulsating and much louder, very difficult to ignore even during day time activities. Before my tinnitus was bilaterally equal, now I would say my right ear is louder than my left. But both are louder than before. Today marks about 50 days since 2nd vaccine, and I think its actually getting progressively worse! Hopefully this is not permanent." The outcome of the event was not recovered. The case was considered as serious (criteria-Disabling/Incapacitating: Yes). No treatment was received for the adverse event. Additional information has been requested.

Salivary gland reactions; Was told by this doctor that he has seen 6 other patients with similar dry mouth who have had the COVID-19 vaccination; Sleeplessness; I can barely breath; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable consumer (patient) reporting herself. A 55-year-old female patient received first dose of BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, Solution for injection, lot number and expiration date were not reported) on left arm on 04Feb2021 at single dose for covid-19 immunization. Patient also received zolpidem tartrate (AMBIEN) and mirtazapine (manufacturer unknown) for unknown indication. Medical history was not reported and concomitant medications were not reported. Historical vaccine included first dose of BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTEC COVID-19 mRNA VACCINE; Lot Number: it looks like ELR84), via an unspecified route of administration in the Left arm on 14Jan2021 at unknown time as a single dose for COVID-19 immunization. On 25Feb2021, almost exactly 3 weeks after receiving his second dose of the Pfizer BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine, the patient started experiencing horrible dry mouth conditions for 6-7 weeks. He stated that due to this persistent dry mouth, he had only been able to sleep on average 3 to 4 hours a night for the past 6 to 7 weeks. Patient reported that he hasn't come back from an ENT specialist regarding this and was told by this doctor that he had seen 6 other patients with similar dry mouth who have had the COVID-19 vaccination and/or COVID-19 itself. It was stated that his doctor also referenced an article in a journal that came out a few days ago that stated COVID-19 was shown to infect the salivary glands. He stated that his doctor was unable to give any further recommendations other than gave him things to keep him comfortable such as Salagen. He also mentioned that after receiving the vaccine, he was being awoken every 20 minutes all night long and many times had to urinate but reported that this side effects has subsided. He stated he read on the internet about a woman who also had COVID-19 who reported having bad dry mouth and was urinating more often than he had in her whole life. He called at the recommendation of her doctor nasal and throat surgeon who said he was going to speaking with his peers about this, but he suggested that he call him too. So, it would appear that he had and several of his patients had similar symptoms to him. He had been suffering from the extreme and when he said extreme, he said the most extreme case he had seen in his 45 years of medicine. Extreme case of might be dry mouth or sleeplessness to this point when he can barely breath. He had maybe 3-4 hours of sleep over the last 6 weeks. They kept thinking that she was allergic that the medication that she was on, but she did not off that medications for a week. They thought of food, he was ingesting they removed every food stuff he finally saw an ENT and he said well, he was the 5th patient he had seen like this, this month and she was telling them he cannot swear by it but it was COVID. He said the only thing that made any sense had seen medication before and they just don't know yet. This was not just enough information and he showed him an article for that he just found the other day that said this enough, COVID was infecting salivary glands or was believed to be so it would seem this might be something that was being recorded yet and might be somebody wanted to take a look at mine. He doesn't know but it was he can't find anything anywhere about this. He can't either except the story that he saw just a few days ago which was professional (Name) journal about COVID now infecting salivary glands that was exactly they know he was suffering it somewhat of freak salivary gland reactions that could be it or could had been COVID (Further not clarified hence PC filed conservatively). When probed for the Date of Vaccine administration for both COVID Vaccine shots, Patient stated that second dose was Feb 4th, and the second dose would be 4 weeks before that. When probed for the exact date of Vaccine administration for both COVID Vaccine shots, patient stated, if they hold on, she get her vaccination card. It would be there right. It was in January, he doesn't knew it looks like 14Jan2021. When probed whether the Vaccine was purchased or she got injected at the clinic, he stated that he got injected. The first on, it looked like ELR84 that was the first dose. When confirmed LOT# as ELR84: he stated, it looked like A but their writing was terrible. He though, it was A it said, or could be G. For second one, EN9581. (Hence second dose LOT captured in tab). Dose for both shots of vaccine: patient stated, that doesn't say. No one say about that. When probed for the site of administration for both shots of vaccine, she stated left arm. When confirmed the vaccine was administered on left arm both the times, stated, she did not remember. (Later confirmed as yes). When probed for Other medications, he stated that not now, no, he had been. (Further clarification unknown) Names of medications: he stated, that was taking Myrbetriq none of these were taken very long they expected these were causing the dry mouth. So, he stopped taking them. it was reported that It was Oxybutynin, let him get it. thought the dry mouth was being caused by the medications. So, they tried switching medications. He had several drugs in that stage for few weeks. So, Oxybutynin was the first one. He took Myrbetriq on February 25th 50 mg, Oxybutynin 50 mg tablet, 1 tablet her mouth daily and then they had Peficare that was for sulfonation and 5 mg,(Further clarification unknown) Tolterodine that was standard Detrol that was 4 mg, Darifenacin,(Was not clarified further hence not captured as concomitant medication) than there were sleep medications none of which worked, none of which solved dry mouth problem, they were Ambien that was Zolpidem 5 mg, Mirtazapine (hence captured as suspect) 50 mg and there was one more, looking that. On an unspecified date, the patient underwent laboratory tests, he was tested for Sjogren's Syndrome for the markers of Sjogren's Syndrome, and they were negative. It was approximately a 1 week ago, 7 days ago and here her result came like he cannot give them the exact date. The outcome was persisting. He was prescribed (further not clarified) Salagen (treatment) in order to generate more saliva. He stated that than there were sleep medication none of it worked, solved dry mouth problem, they were Ambien, Zolpidem 5 mg, Mirtazapine(treatment) 50 mg and there was one more, looking that. The outcome of the events was not recovered. No follow-up attempts are needed. No further information is expected.

Along with these symptoms I began to have very loud tinnitus which I have suffered from for years but nothing to this volume. Approximately 11 days after the 2nd dose I came home from working a short day and after a meal began to feel like my blood pressure was up because my head felt pressured and I could tell my heart was racing. Checked my blood pressure and it was at rest 140/105 w/ 96 bpm. I am not on any bp meds because I have never been prone to high blood pressure. Bp prior to this occurrence has always been in the 117-120/76-80 range with a bpm of around 64-70. Chest pain radiate from front to back to front and stayed that way until I went to emergency room 3 days later believing I may have had a heart attack.

I was kept overnight for observation with blood being drawn middle of the night and vitals being monitored. The morning of the next day I was administered a stress test which I apparently passed no problem.

Type 2 Diabetes ? November 2020 my bloodwork was normal, A1C was 5.7, HDL and LDL good, yet my triglycerides were high, 280, which has been the case for the last 20 years. I was in good health, no problems, only meds were fish oil and Simvastatin for the last 5 or 10 years for the high triglycerides. My second COVID shot was on 10 March 2021. In a week I became thirsty and noticed weight loss which I thought was good since I was 215 at the time and trying to lose weight. Over the next few weeks the weight continued to come off an my thirst became unquenchable. Mid April I saw Dr. who ordered blood work. I saw her for a follow-up on the 23rd and she put me on 2000 mg metformin and 20 mg insulin a day, my triglycerides were 4,132, blood suger (BS) over 400. Ordered me off sugar and carbohydrates, ordered a FreeStyle Libre 2 which that day pegged (350 mg). A week later not much was changing and Dr had me go to 30 insulin daily which helped the numbers start coming down yet gradually. Over the next 4 weeks the BS started bouncing between 250 and 350, then 150 and 250, and later 120 and 200 with one under 80 (i.e., low) event. During that time I reduced my insulin to 25 mgl a day, then after two more under 80 BS events I was ordered off insulin, and half metformin dose (1000 daily). This week I saw my Endocology specialist who said I was extremely lucky because folks with triglycerides over 2,000 don?t live long (months not years). He kept me on metformin and ordered new blood test adding urine saying the prior panel (when numbers were extremely high) were not valid for my current state being more normal BS numbers. I will see him again 7/29/21. I would appreciate any advice or observations you could provide of others all of a sudden become type 2 diabetes after receiving the covid vaccine, what their diagnosis was, treatment, results, etc. Also, does Pfizer have any advice or corrective action they could offer, or at least data from other folks having a similar problem as me?

I didn't think anything of it at first, but then it happened a third time so I thought that was odd. I called my eye doctor the last time it happened. I thought it was a detached retina. I went to the doctor the next day but he couldn't find any signs of a detached retina. He was concerned I had a TIA. He wants me to have a doppler of carotid arteries in my neck. I had an appointment with an ophthalmologist on May 25th. My appointment for the doppler was on June 1st. On June 3rd, I went to my family doctorand he looked at results of the test. He was concerned about temporary blindness but doesn't know the cause of it. He wants me to see a neurologist. On June 30th I had an appointment with the neurologist and he said he didn't think it was a TIA. Nothing has been found or discovered as to why I am experiencing the temporary blindness. As of May 24th, that was the last incident I had with temporary blindness, and I haven't had it since.

Apprx 7 minutes after receiving vaccine, I experienced a sensation in my chest, upper arms, and neck areas. I also experienced a slight metallic taste in my mouth.

These reactions lasted only about 8 to 10 minutes then started easing away. I was monitored a full 30 minutes and then released after reporting I felt ok then.

I have chronic Lyme disease, with extreme symptoms of photosensitivity and photophobia. 12 years ago, I had a series of intravenous antibiotics for 9 months. That halted the progression of the symptoms. However, with the first injection of the Pfizer vaccine, I had an immediate and increasing photosensitivity/photophobia. For example, my computer monitor was at 6% brightness. I reset to 3% brightness, which is still too bright. My concern is that the second injection due on February 12th may further increase the symptoms. My Lyme doctor believes that the light sensitivity is perhaps coming from the thalamus. Additionally, the injection seemed to increase my INR.

12/21/2020 I had my first Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine and the second on 1/13/2021. Two days after my second vaccine on 1/15/2021 at 8:50 PM I had a scintillating scotoma in my right visual field in both eyes consisting of a bright flash of light in the center of my visual field that cleared but then it expanded into a C-shaped series of zig-zag lines that slowly expanded into the periphery of both right visual fields. It ended at 9:20 PM. I had no headaches afterward. While I have had migraines when I was younger, I haven?t had one in several decades and I never had an aura before it. I went to the ED where I was evaluated for a possible TIA and then admitted into Hospital. While there my platelet count was 400% of what it usually was. Other than the platelet count and anemia (I donated 2 unit of packed red blood cells on 12/17/2020) the rest of my blood work was unrevealing. The scintilating scotoma only lasted 30 minutes but the elevated platelets (although slowly coming down) continues to this day.

According to staff....Recipient received the above vaccination and went to sit for 30 minutes. He had already explained to the staff that he had had previous reactions to bee stings that required epinephrine so the nurse practitioner had instructed him that he was to wait for 30 minutes vs the usual 15 minutes. It is unclear exactly how many minutes into the post-vaccination period passed before he began to report numbness around his lips. The nurse practitioner then indicated he began a "rash" on the back of his neck. The recipient reported that this was feeling very much like his previous allergic reactions. They took his BP and it was reported to be around 180/100 at that time. He did not report feeling SOB but reported his throat felt like it had in previous allergic reactions. Recipient remained alert and oriented the entire time. It was decided by the two nurse practitioners on site that he be given the epinephrine and Benadryl IM. His BP remained elevated and then, following the epinephrine, he became very shaky and a bit foggy. 911 was then notified for further assistance from the EMT's and possible evaluation at the local hospital which was about 5 minutes away. Paramedics evaluated the recipient and agreed that evaluation at the hospital would be warranted. He never lost consciousness or required oxygen or other assistance. He was able to place himself on the gurney and was speaking with his wife (that was present)as he was taken out the door. The transfer was done out of an abundance of caution. We do not know if the hospital kept him following the incident.

I received the Pfizer COVID 19 vaccination on the morning of 2/17/21 with no resulting initial sequelae other than injection site tenderness. Approximately 2 weeks post-injection, I developed coryzal symptoms of nasal stuffiness and congestion without fever, chills, headache, or myalgias. On, or about, 3/3/21, I noticed diminution of hearing in the left ear without signs of drainage, fever, or dizziness. This was treated with a Z Pac, nasal and oral decongestants, and nasal steroids. Over the course of 10 days, the hearing decline had improved, but a clinical exam and testing by an ENT on 3/12/21 confirmed evidence suggestive of sensorineural hearing loss, with asymmetric impairment in the affected (left) ear.

I had the Pfizer vaccine in my left arm on Jan. 23rd. I had no side effects at the time, other than a sore arm, as with any shot. However, two days later I lost all hearing in my left ear. I had no history of ear infections or other ear or hearing problems, except for wax buildup two or three times. On Jan. 26th, I saw an ENT. To my dismay, there was no wax. He prescribed the standard treatment of Prednisone for Sudden Idiopathic Hearing Loss. No change after the first round, so I had a second round, and also had the series of three ear injections with Dexamethasone. Had an MRI, as well, which was normal. A couple of weeks into all this, I began to have a bit of sound-generated static in my ear, and this continues today. (Fortunately, I?ve only had the most minor of tinnitus in that ear, and even it is pretty much gone now.)

Two days after I received my first vaccine, horrible pulsating, loud tinnitus started. A loud ringing in my right ear with every heart beat. I couldn't sleep for many days and still have trouble after all this time. The pulsating is non stop... 24/7. I am doing my best to live with this but it is unbearable at times, to the point of driving me close to insanity. I have some days where it is bearable, but never goes away. I would have never gotten the covid-19 shot had I known that the adverse effect would have been this bad. I has all but ruined my way of life up to this point.

The patient underwent lab tests and procedures which included CAT scan and EKG both with unknown results on 24May2021. The events result in Physician Office Visit, no treatment was received. Clinical course: Consumer stated, "Well, I got my first Pfizer shot I just thought I should just call and discuss this with somebody bit of some sheet I got I got the Pfizer vaccine and I got that one on 15Mar2021 the first one and then I received the second one 02Apr2021 and when after I received the second one I had the pain in the arm like normal but it was a lot more severe than I got from the first one but it went away but you know normal 3 to 4 days it went away so I did not wasn't that concerned but I also know this to ask. After I got my skin was kind of different looking you know like aging a little bit you know like wrinkling but then all of a sudden it cleared up too that went away probably about the same time a week after I got the shot I started having vision problem(distorted voice and incomplete sentence). I visited an ophthalmologist an regular eye doctor it was an ophthalmologist (distorted voice and incomplete sentence) and he said no I don't see that you have a stroke I don't see that you have vision problems with your retina this time you probably got macular degeneration going on so anyways he said comeback if you have an issue then I said so you are telling me that even though my vision is going in my left eye I am not gonna go blind and I didn't have a stroke he said yes. Ok, so anyways exactly a month after that I went totally blind in my left eye my vision came back, my vision came back. I forgot to tell you my vision came back fully for a while but it was different in my left eye like I was seeing flash burn every once in a while when I was in the sunlight and stuff. Anyway a month later after I got the second shot when I went totally blind in my left eye and so I got upset about the doctor's here and I had to go to (Address) to pick my new eyeglasses anyway so I had to drive to (Address) with one eye which is 230 miles from me anyways, so when I got my glasses there at they were the right prescription thank god and I told them about the eye issue so they didn't throw a eye test really thorough and said yes I definitely see a problem in your left eye looks like a flash burn or something like that so then they had me setup an appointment with really good ophthalmologist in (Address) because I wanted a second opinion whether my insurance covered it or not. So I went to this retinal specialist and I was in his office for like 3 hours they were checking me out in there you know he said yes definitely you have an obstruction in the main artery of your left eye and that's why you lost your vision and this doctor said there's only two things it could be it it could be you had a stroke or that you had a bad reaction to the Pfizer vaccine and so anyway he wanted me to go either into the emergency room a good (Address) to further do testing, I said no I don't wanna do that because that's all out of my own pocket that would have been thousands of dollars you know, but I don't know I am all confused about this medical care. I am just trying to give you all a scenario from day 1 going forward you know anyway so I refused to go to good (Name) and he said well it should be okay anyway because it's been so much time since the original problem that you would be probably alright to just back to your hometown there and go to the hospital and have your testing then there I did and the next day I got back to (Address) from (Address) I went to the hospital there they did an EKG on my heart and they did a CAT scan on my head and they said they couldn't see anything from the EKG or the CAT scan that I had but that doesn't mean you didn't have(Incomplete sentence), so they said you could have a mild stroke and you know anyway we want you to go further testing well I had a primary care physician appointment two weeks later which is still coming up so I have to her so they want to order an MRI and some other tests on my heart because they think I have might have an AFib atrial fibrillation where the blockage I mean where the blood flow properly to my heart you know if I want to do those tests too but I am just letting you know this cause the one doctor said it could be that you have the eye problem because of the vaccine that's what I am calling you about." Consumer Stated, "Yes, you can follow up sure because I am more anyway cause on the 09June2021 I have an appointment with my primary care physician which is the one that have to do the order in heart chest and the MRI and the following week. I am going back to (Address) to that Ophthalmologist that said that it might because of Pfizer vaccine I am going back to him I got a follow up with him because he wants to me to take care of my eye issue so maybe I can get my eye sight back in other words or so." Date adverse event started: Consumer stated, "I had my first shot on Friday 02Apr2021. The exact day that I started having issues was exactly one week later on 09Apr2021. Other than the normal you now pain in the arms because that started and went away normal that started you know. Well that started basically right after I got the shot on 02Apr2021 with the pain and the arm thing that was right after I got the shot 02Apr2021 and it was the little bit more severe than the original shot. 09Apr2021 is when I stated having eye problem." Anatomical Sites of administered: Consumer Stated, "The first one I had them do it in my right arm in the muscle top in my right arm and the second one was done in the left arm upper muscle." Other Medical Conditions: Consumer Stated, "Nothing life threatening but I have chronic health conditions, quite a few of them. I got Barrett's esophagus, then Diverticulitis of the sigmoid colon then electro cardiogram(Further not clarified) they did was abnormal they said. I got GRD Gastroesophageal reflux disease. I got generalized anxiety disorder, GAD. I have Cataracts. They said I had a genital disorder I don't know what that means. I got history of Calculus in the kidneys, kidney stones but I haven't had a problem with that from quite a while, I changed my diet. I have past Chlamydial infection which is an STD. I had hiatal hernia repair done, so surgery. I have hypertension disorder they say, left ventricular hypertrophy which I guess has something to do with the heart, I think that's why they wanna do more test of my heart. I got polyps in colon (Further not clarified) and occasionally I get Vertigo so I have to have a colonoscopy quite often in another words to remove the polyps from my colon." Treatment medication for medical conditions: Consumer Stated, "Well they only I take Vitamin D3 and I take Vitamin C but that's vitamins basically the only meds and I am taking. I am using Eye Drops right now over the counter stuff basically the only meds I really take is Omeprazole which is for my GRD disorder you know my gas my stomach gas it controls my stomach gas and then extra strength Tylenol I take that as needed sometimes." Start date of taking the medication: Consumer Stated, "Well the Omeprazole I probably been taking that for 10 years at least 8 years or 7 years.

Ringing/pulsating sound began in my right ear about 8 days after second Pfizer vaccine shot. It still persists to today, July 3,2021. I originally thought it was a condition associated with my Bell?s palsy that began on February 7, 2021 three days after my first Pfizer vaccine shot. But now I?m not sure. Saw my general practice doctor yesterday on July 2nd and she felt that the tinnitus may be separate from the Bell?s palsy. My usual doctor was out for the day. She prescribed a nasal spray which I have not received as of yet. I also went to see the doctor do to a rib injury. The tinnitus may be lessening the past ten days or so, but still very present all day long.

About 4 hours after my 2nd dose, I was driving on my way home and all of a sudden I felt like I was hallucinating. I saw what looked like a bug infestation coming across my vision line. It was a swarm of black spots. I had to stop and re-evaluate my situation on the way home. When I gained control again, I realized it wasn't a hallucination. It was my actual vision. When I got home I basically crashed for the rest of the day. The next day I contacted my optometrist and I went in for an evaluation. They said it was a cloud of floaters. I asked if there was any chance that it was a side effect of the vaccine. They told me no. They sent me to an ophthalmologist. He told me that it will never go away. I went back to my optometrist and they said it would go away. All that they could come up with is that it is a coincidence. I have also had dizzy spells. They weren't strong, but it was like a constant dizziness. I still have all of the symptoms going on. The floaters in my eye seem like they are starting to dissipate. I have had some mild nausea. I can take a nap and it seems like it dissipates. This all came on at one time. I have been extremely tired lately. I take 2-3 naps a day and that is just not like me. It's like the feeling of being hungover, but I haven't had a drink in months.

Have had a significant change to the way my long standing allergies manifest themselves. Since early childhood they would manifest with congestion and wheezing - typical asthmatic reaction to allergies. Now I am getting rashes and most importantly watery eyes. I have never had watery eyes except in the most severe allergenic reactions like from peanuts or shellfish (anaphylactic shock) - and only for very short periods. Now I am getting watery eyes. from even minor food and pollen allergenic reactions. While not with the frequency of the watery eyes I am also getting rashes. The watery eyes are to the point when I wake up in the morning my eyes are glued shut. I never have had these reactions before. Note: I waited several months to report this because I was hoping it was random events - the events are not random and nothing I have experienced in my 67 years before the vaccination. With the long term health problems I have I am keenly aware of my allergenic reactions. I have always had them but never before with watery eyes and occasional rashes.

Two days after the second injection, two areas that were low-level pain providers - dental thermal sensitivity (hot and cold) and a slight discomfort in my right, repaired shoulder - rocketed up the pain index. I could not tolerate even tepid tea, and I was unable to raise my right arm high enough to grasp a car steering wheel. This lasted, getting worse Sunday, through Monday, and into Tuesday morning. That afternoon i noticed the discomfort in both areas lessening, and by Wednesday evening, had resumed their baseline sensitivities.

I didn't complete the meditation because the ringing was bothering me and I rated it with a "frowny face". When I went to the app to check, it was the week after the vaccine.

He got his vaccine, and had to go from the roof to the parking lot. He was in his car and thought he had put his car in park, but it was in neutral and he hit another car, which he thought he was hit. The gentleman informed him that he was the one that hit him as he had watched him slowly advance to hitting him. He did not know or was aware that he was even moving. He has headaches normally but they have gotten worse since then. He also has motion sickness but has learned to deal with it and get used to the side effects. He also has blurry vision and just not feeling normal. He did go see his PCP and she put him on Meclizine for the dizziness, which works about 50%, but not completely. He did have the 2nd vaccine on 2/22/21 and still had the symptoms, which have stayed since then as well. He then saw his PCP a week ago and she is scheduling for a CT scan to see if he has any blood clots. He did have an aneurysm in his brain 28 years ago and they felt that he would not be able to survive it and deemed that he would be left as a vegetable, but has survived that and does have a little residual headache, but nothing severe. He now is still having these three symptoms that he did not have prior to the vaccine.

A 68-year-old male patient received BNT162b2 (PFIZER BIONTECH COVID-19 mRNA VACCINE, Solution for injection, Lot number- UNKNOWN) via an unspecified route of administration in left arm on 02Mar2021 at around 13:00 (as reported) as dose 2, single (at the age of 68-years-old) for COVID-19 immunization. Patient medical history was not reported. The concomitant medications included amitriptyline had been on for 20 years, patient takes as needed because he was in a bad car accident at a dose of 10 mg, butalbital, caffeine, paracetamol (FIORICET), cyclobenzaprine, had been on for 20 years at a dose of 10 mg taken for headache.

Patient received both doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine (First dose last 09Feb2021 & Second dose on 02Mar2021). He reported to have had a metallic taste and smell, like a diesel engine. Patient mentioned he was unsure when this started but it had been 3 months already. He also stated that he saw a physician, but he still wanted to know if it had been reported. He had an awful taste and smells the same odor. It had been a few months with the metallic taste in his mouth. Patient added that diesel taste and smell started about the time that they got the shots. Patient stated that he did say it was metallic earlier but he would not say it was metallic, he thought that people who do not have experience say it was metallic. He stated it was more like diesel fumes and a bitter taste that he tastes and smells. He did not know when this started but stated that it just stays the same. Patient was asked when symptoms started and he stated he could not really say that. He never thought about it until the last months or so he noticed he had it for a while. He smelled the same odor and taste if that makes any sense because taste and smell are related. Patient added he had never been sick or had any childhood diseases. He wanted to know if it was something because the doctor wants to test his kidney and liver. He had no health problems. He had bloodwork a month before the vaccines and everything was fine and they want to use him as a lab rat right now.

About 4 hours after the second dose I began the most intense headache I have ever had. I kept expecting it to go away. After 10 days of enduring this I went to the ER. I was admitted with blood clots and bleeding from the face. (but probably more wrong) I was initially treated for a PE and meds to try to stop the headache. Nothing seemed to work. About 3 days into the hospital stay, my pre-existing Stills disorder began to show. I was then treated with 60mg of prednisone daily to control the Stills. About the same time, we discovered that a standard migraine medicine would control the extreme headache, morphine would not. My CRP results were off the charts and almost 4 months later it is still high. My treating doc says 2 more months of prednisone treatment. I had an immediate weight loss of 25 pounds in the hospital. I am struggling to this day to put the weight back on. I have lost hearing in my left ear as a result.

Began as a swollen lower lip on Monday 03/01/2021 and turned into mutiple blisters. I originally contributed the blisters to sunburn because I had been in the sun a lot the previous three days but I've worked outside for years and I have never had my lip swell or had blisters on them in the past. I have not been to a doctor at this point because the blisters appear to be healing so the blisters have not been diaganosed as being a covid vaccine reaction.

Eyes began to water and itch; Eyes began to water and itch; Slightly blurred vision; Discharge in both eyes; Sensitive to light; Substantial Fatigue; eye irritation; Involuntary squint; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable consumer, the patient. A 69-year-old male patient received BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 mRNA VACCINE; Lot Number: EN6206 and Expiration date: 30Jun2021), via an unspecified route of administration, in the left arm on 12Mar2021 10:45 (at the age of 69-years-old) as 0.3 mL, single dose for covid-19 immunisation. Medical history included high blood pressure, seasonal allergies (He controlled them with Zyrtec), hypertension-mild and pollen and grass allergies. The patient had no allergies to medications, food, or other products. Concomitant medications included amlodipine/losartan (MANUFACTURER UNKNOWN) taken for high blood pressure. The patient did not receive any other vaccines within four weeks prior to the vaccination. Prior to the vaccination, the patient was not diagnosed with COVID-19. Since the vaccination, the patient had not been tested for COVID-19. On 12Mar2021, 13:15 the patient eyes began to water and itch, slightly blurred vision, discharge in both eyes, sensitive to light, substantial fatigue. The patient had 2 major side effects. Both occurred about 2 hours after getting the vaccination. Both worsened as the day went on. The patient had involuntary squint because of itchy and watering eyes, dried discharge closing eyes in morning upon rising. They got significantly worse the following day. His eyes began to water and itch, and vision got slightly blurry. He attributed that to his eyes watering constantly. He does not wear glasses and has close to 20/20 even though he was old. He looks at computer and reads a lot. It got worse until Monday, then it abated slightly. It was still substantial. The right eye was worse than left. Two hours after watery and itching, he did not notice any blurry vision. That was later in the afternoon. As he was writing documents on computer and reading printed material was when he noticed it. There was enough discharge from the watering and tearing that when you wake up, you feel your eyes are glued closed. It has improved slightly in one eye. But it was the same or worse in right eye. Sensitivity to light began around 2 hours after the vaccination while he was in the car driving. Substantial fatigue got worse that night and was moderately bad Saturday, Sunday and Monday. It had abated moderately yesterday and then was worse yesterday and today, but better than the weekend. IT comes and goes and is not continuous. He has never had malaria but thinks it was the same feeling of overwhelming fatigue. He does not have any previous pre-existing conditions. It began with the vaccination. He was not a person of hypochondria and was not particularly worried about this. He was not worried about dying. They are simple side effects with any vaccine. The patient was disturbed when he looked it up. He did not see any symptoms being advertised about eye problems and he was very educated about it. Then when he looked it up, he saw others that had the same thing if not worse. He does not have any information for people that experienced the same thing that he read about online on the internet. Many symptoms that people were reporting were much more severe such as: eyes puffy, face swelling and eyes itchy and crusty. He must have seen 30-35 on two websites that reported and many more on websites on the internet. He then said it could have been 35-40 that he read carefully. Everyone in his family had the vaccine. His son had first dose and experienced no real symptoms. His wife who is a nurse had it 3 weeks ago and only a mild twinge in her arm. She experienced some fatigue yesterday for second dose. It was not really important and nothing that has not been reported. He did not wish to complete report. He was the healthiest person in the family, and he was surprised that he got these side effects. After he got the eye issues, he took Visine. Visine Advanced only clears were up for 10 minutes and then it comes right back. He only used it a few times because it was useless. If the vaccine had not blinded him, he could see the lot number easier. Lot is JJB0300 with expiration Sep2021. It was a total size of 0.284 ounces or 8ml. Visine Advanced gets rid of bloodshot eyes like for drunks. He does not drink though. He would not be willing to send a sample and it was sealed and intact. The patient uses the cetirizine (tablet, 10mg, Lot: 0EE27118 and Expiration date: Jan2022) oral from 13Mar2021 at 10mg twice a day taken for eye problems related to vaccine. The patient has been using and thought it might help with eye irritation. The patient took antihistamine as treatment for the events. The outcome of the event sensitive to light was recovering, eye irritation was unknown and other events were not recovered.

That's when I got the Allegra Nothing improved then I was frying some chicken and noticed I could not smell it that much or anything else .. Unless I'm being over whelmed by a smell I won't smell it but yet my taste buds are just fine.

Got shot at 8am 22 Jan. Slight soreness in arm developed later the same day, but no problem. Everything was normal and went to bed. Woke up approximately 2-3 h later with extreme vertigo, dizziness, imbalance, completely clogged left ear, tinnitus in left hear and nausea. Within about an hour I was hyperventilating and had cold tingling sensation in hands and feet. About 2am went to hospital. They did a bunch of tests including a CT scan which revealed nothing adverse. They kept me over night and gave me an MRI the next morning. Again nothing adverse found. I was released that next day with orders to see PCP. Got an appt 2 days later. PCP immediately started me on Prednisone and referred me to ENT doctor. Got an audio test 2 days later and because of the severity of my symptoms (sudden, acute tinnitus and complete hearing loss in left ear) ENT prescribed higher dose and duration of prednisone. I am on day 5 of the 24day course prescribed by ENT with no appreciable improvement. Still have no hearing in left ear and tinnitus, imbalance and trouble focusing and walking. No causal link has been ascribed to the vaccine, but I am terrified of having the booster shot which is schedule for 12 Feb.

None of my health care providers have been able to explain the cause of my sudden loss of vision in my left eye at approx. 10:15 p.m. on 7 Feb 2021. At approx. 3:00 a.m. on 8 Feb I called my ophthalmologist's answering service and my ophthalmologist called me back shortly thereafter. She told me I should go to the ER which I did at approx. 4:00 a.m. where blood tests were done, an ultrasound of my left eye, CT scan of my head, and MRI of my head were performed all with negative results. When my vision was tested at the ER using the standard wall chart, I was unable to see the largest letter on the chart with my left eye. I saw my ophthalmologist at approx. 1:40 p.m. the same day after my 6 1/2 hour ER visit. I was diagnosed with Central Retinal Vein Occlusion. Both of my eyes were dilated and photos were taken of each eye. I was given an injection of Avastin in my left eye. As of today, 12 Feb 2021, I am still functionally blind in my left eye. I can see general large objects but am unable to see details or read written words either near or far. Prior to approx. 10:15 p.m. on 7 Feb, my vision was as it had been for several years prior with little if any degradation. I typically have an annual eye exam by my ophthalmologist but due to Covid-19 my last eye exam was 9 Dec 2019 at which time there was nothing to suggest that I would have such loss of sight in either of my eyes. I am a healthy person who takes no or very little medication when prescribed. I have never been hospitalized (other than this ER visit) or diagnosed with any significant medical condition. In late Dec 2020 following routine blood tests, I had a teleconference "physical" with my PCP at which time I was declared to be healthy. Upon leaving the ER at approx. 10:30 a.m. on 8 Feb my "end of visit vitals" were recorded as blood pressure 110/63, BMI 20.92, weight 150 lbs., height 5'11", temperature 97.6 F, pulse 67, respiration 16, and oxygen saturation 95%. Late last year I had my usual flu vaccination without any side effects. After almost 2 weeks, I do still have a bruise at the Pfizer vaccine injection site on my left arm and I experienced mild muscle soreness the evening after my vaccination and the following morning. Normally I have no adverse reaction to vaccinations.

A 71-year-old male patient received first dose of bnt162b2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE; lot number: EM9809, expiry date: unknown), via an unspecified route of administration on 10Feb2021 12:30 (at 71-year-old) at single dose (left arm) for COVID-19 immunization. Medical history included hypertension (mild hypertension and it is well controlled, it was diagnosed 5-6 years ago), hyperlipidemia (mild hyperlipidemia and it is well controlled, it was diagnosed 5-10 years ago). He stated in Aug, he tested positive for antibodies through Lab and was still positive a month later. He wondered how that might effect the decision of if he should get the second dose, if he is potentially immune. He had no symptoms but tested negative with PCR test. His girlfriend who he lives with tested negative for antibodies. Height was reported as 6 feet to 6 feet one inch tall. Weight was reported as 176-178lbs, he thought he may have gained a few pounds. There were no concomitant medications. The caller had the first dose of the vaccine 10Feb2021 12:30. 5 days later he felt fullness in his right ear (Feb2021) and noticed diminished hearing in the right ear (Feb2021), maybe 20-30% less. He was comparing how much he could hear the ticking of his watch in his left and right ear and couldn't hear a tick at all. He went to an ENT and they found that it was reduced in the right ear secondary to a nerve problem and wasn't secondary to anything else. The doctor read online on an ENT site, a couple of people had acute bouts of decreased hearing. They were treated with steroids and resolved. His provider prescribed him with a high dose of steroids, 70 mg. He was going to take it after dinner but all of the sudden he could hear the ticking better. He held off on taking the steroid and the next morning his hearing was fine. He went back and they retested and it was back to normal. He had taken Naprosyn and is not sure if that played a part in improving things. It resolved not even 24 hours after the initial symptoms. It resolved on its own. He asked, is this a side effect that has been reported? Are there any cases of this happening in one ear rather than 2? Could it be a contraindication getting the second dose? His doctor is researching it and he is supposed to call early next week about this. He asked how many people were in the clinical trials that the side effect data is based on. The caller stated he heard someone report that he doesn't believe that people getting the vaccine necessarily need both doses of the vaccine. They are finding after a week after the first dose they have relative immunity and might not need the second dose. The caller asked how effective this vaccine might be on new variants, how effective just one dose of the vaccine is, if Pfizer is looking into mixing the vaccines- whether it will be something that can be interchanged with other Covid-19 vaccines, asked where he could find updates on medical information about this in the future. The caller stated he wanted to thank Pfizer for developing the vaccine as quickly as they did. Retired psychiatrist calling about Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine who says he got his first dose on 10Feb in (State name), and had a sore left arm where he got the injection (Feb2021) then 5 days later had fullness in his right ear with his hearing diminished. He says he called his otolaryngologist because he had had a hearing test a few months ago, and was tested again now and there was a moderate decrease of hearing in his right ear. He says he would like to know if this could be a possible side effect, since he has read of reports and his otolaryngologist knew of two reports where people did report hearing loss. He says that he was treated acutely with steroids at high dose of 70mg for which he filled the script, then called his internist who was ambivalent with him taking a high dose. Caller says then within a few hours, his hearing was better, and by the next morning it was normal, and he went back to the ENT and his hearing was the same as it was a few months ago. He says he did not take the steroid he was prescribed, the Prednisone, he took Naproxen, and since it may have been a nerve problem with hearing diminished related to auditory nerve, it seemed to get better in a number of hours. He says he has reported this already to VAERS. Caller says his right ear is better now, it got better within a a few hours after he saw his doctor, then it was completely better by the next morning. He says that after they tested his hearing due to the fullness in his ear and hearing being diminished it got better on its own. He says on the next hearing test his hearing was exactly back to normal. He says he did take Naproxen once or twice during that time period, 20 or less hour period, more like 12 hours, one 220mg tablet each time, he doesn't know whether that contributed to helping. Naproxen (EXP Jan2022, LOT: ODRO445). He says that the reason he is calling is to see whether Pfizer has had similar reports. He says that he saw on a website that 12 people were reporting deafness or blindness, but it seemed to be an (name), so he took it with a grain of salt. He says he would like to know whether people have been reporting with issues for hearing, unilaterally or bilaterally, or what results have been with some people. Caller says unfortunately the website he mentioned was obviously anti vaccine and claimed to be with the (name) or version of the CDC and said that they were reporting they had 12 people reporting deafness and blindness from COVID vaccine and made it sound like the most dangerous vaccine in the world, but it was a conspiracy website that claimed it was with the equivalent of CDC. Caller does not have website addresses to provide or details about reports on that site. Caller says he looked at the (name) and it said nothing about this kind of possible side effect. He says he doesn't know if his could be related to getting the vaccine, or if he should still get a second dose of the vaccine. The outcome of the event "noticed diminished hearing in the right ear/couldn't hear a tick at all" and "he felt fullness in his right ear" was recovered in Feb2021, while for other event was unknown.; Sender's Comments: Based on available information the reported unilateral deafness was unlikely related to bnt162b2. This was an intercurrent medical condition. Case will be reassessed if additional 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.

On 03/24/2021, which was one week after my 2nd covid pfizer vaccination, I started to experience ringing in both ears, which has continued nonstop ever since. After doing considerable reading about this, ringing in the ears has been an all to common side effect of the covid vaccines. I have discovered that it is called tinnitis. Regardless of it's name, phizer & the other covid vaccine makers need to solve this major problem for those of us who have it because of their covid vaccines. I have never had ringing in the ears ever before. I have always been in perfect health and have not taken prescription drugs. I should have had only ONE covid vaccine shot

Shortly after receiving the vaccine#2, I began to notice my left ear 'filling up' like a swimmer's ear, and by April 22 at 8:30 in the evening, all hearing in the left ear was gone. Thinking it was a wax build-up, I saw a PA at our clinic on April 26 at 4:10 pm, who removed a slight amount of wax. Two days later on April 28 at the ENT clinic, I had a hearing test which showed extremely low hearing levels, compared with a hearing test completed at the same ENT clinic on March 8 - (this was a general hearing test which was 'normal'). The ENT PA explained my condition was not due to wax but possibly a small blood clot or tumor preventing blood flow to the inner ear. An MRI has been scheduled and Prednizone 60 mg prescribed. As I began the Prednizone treatment April 28, I began to wonder if this might be an adverse effect of the Covid-19 vaccine.

He had Bell's palsy and Ramsey Hunt syndrome number 2. He had paralysis, droopy mouth, eye wouldn't close, vertigo, ear issues, hearing drop and that recovered which was weird. He went to physical therapy until early last year before COVID then he was steered away from that. About 10 months ago some of the symptoms came back in a odd way. His eye had the feeling like it couldn't close. His eyelids had at night the muscles in his face on the left side face felt taut. The inside of his gum felt like his skin was thicker, he was not sure it was the sensation and that never went away. With the shingles he had an issue where down the side of his tongue was tingly, these things overlap and it was either very little or really an-noying. In last 10 months it had got quite a bit better until about 5-6 weeks ago it was back to where it was, it was just annoying on and off. Then he got the shot sunday, and it was weird at first, he was writing it off as both stress and relief and other things. He was not dizzy and that evening the left side of his mouth went bonkers, it wound up being like when the shingles were acting up on the inside of his mouth it felt tingly and weird, and it was confined to the left half of his face and nothing else. He did not have droopiness or any Bell's palsy kind of thing had gone away the Ramsey-Hunt syndrome, he says it was a series of things and he has number 2, he does not know what the other ones are, but it was something that comes along with the chicken pox or the herpes zoster virus. The stenosis, the cervical stenosis, the left is the main problem, but the right was not far behind with regard to nerve compression, the right does not bother him as much in the way of tingling and numbness. The weird thing is he had his hands sitting in his lap and he moved his thumb towards his forefinger, there was a couple inches between and it felt like there was a rubber band pulling his thumb back, it happened 2-3 times he was fooling around with it and it went away, the sensation was still there a little in the back ground, the rest of him the right side of him was fine and today is a lot better like he said things over lap so he is not saying anything has anything to do with the vaccine but he is operating under the as-sumption that if Moderna patients are having some issues with Bell's Palsy or something similar, if he has left over inflammation and in Nov2019, he had magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), when he first got sick and then he had another one done and his neurologist said on an unspecified date in Aug that he still sees some nerve inflammation particularly down jaw line, he saw inflammation from 2019 to 2020 he still seen inflammation and the upper part of his eye, the brow seems to behave as if there may be some inflammation running through it. His hand on the right is not doing the thing is his left thumb, it is being weird and the thing sunday night with his mouth. He thinks the whole idea is that the vaccine wakes up the immune system and gets it to recognize the RNA for COVID and generate anti-bodies and if it is acting like inflammation gets the body's attention, he is not a biologist but maybe it also caught on to his nerve inflammation and took a look at his nerves and cause them to bounce around and have other things occur that were more intense and he was trying to report to let some-one know that the underlying things left over from his shingles, he does not know about the rest of it because sleeping wrong could affect his neck shoulders and arms, he was not sure if it could be an is-sue with the vaccine, there was no clear definite thing, but the thing sunday night with his mouth was definitely far more, he thought this was the way he felt in his mouth a couple weeks after he got the shingles diagnosis like he had hives on inside of his cheek and tongue, it was crazy with extra salivation but he did not have the hives. The last time he got a vaccine it was the Shingrix it was probably too late last year, he got pretty sick off of it with flu like symptoms but he doesn't ever want another run in with shingles. It was his second COVID 19 vaccine he got 07Mar and it was the same day that the thing with his mouth happened and that was the most noticeable aspect of it, if he had not had the vaccine he would be sitting here right now just thinking he was having a bad day it runs down the left side of his tongue and stops smack in middle of the front of it. It jumps over sometimes but he was not sure if the nerve endings go on both sides of the tip of tongue or not. It has improved since sunday there was a span there where it was pretty annoying and he commented that he feels like it did when he first had shingles and over a period of time when he went to bed, whenever that was, it abated a bit. His second dose was EN6203 and it is dated Jun2021. The patient was sure they were trained to draw up the exact correct amount in there but he did not ask to look at it, it did not even occur to him. The only other thing is he was diabetic, he takes no medications for that it was diet and exercise controlled both of which COVID has been horrible for, his weight has gone up because they have a tough climate there, it has been cold for 2.5 months. It was finally starting to get a little better but the primary things he would have would be blood pressure, he takes medication for and the same for lipids he takes Simvastatin for that, the things many males his age are taking medication for. He also takes Alprazolam and Xanax to get to sleep at night, because his brain doesn't want to shut off, cost of being an engi-neer. He had one had case of sarcoidosis uncovered, there was only one node of it at the back of the trachea where it splits to go into the lungs. His pulmonologist was keeping track of it with X-ray and CT scans, the last time everyone looked in there, there was nothing left, the thing never changed since, it never showed up anywhere else. he does not know if that disappears but he never ended up getting it again. Apparently it shows up frequently in lungs but it did not with him. Those 2 things would be the top of the list type of things for him. He has never had cancer or blood disease, he had mononucleosis in college. The patient underwent lab tests and procedures which included computerized tomogram there was nothing left on. He had one case of sarcoidosis uncovered, there was only one node of it at the back of the trachea where it splits to go into the lungs. His pulmonologist was keeping track of it with X-ray and CT scans, the last time everyone looked in there, there was nothing left, magnetic res-onance imaging was an unknown results on Nov2019.

The day after the vaccine, I just had a mild headache and mild leg aches, off and on, and took Advil twice with complete relief. Then I was fine until 7th day when I awoke a 7am. I felt mentally "weird" and couldn't concentrate. Not dizzy. I ate my normal breakfast of lox, cream cheese and bread with coffee with cream and Stevia. I sat at the computer and could not concentrate or even read well, and felt confused at times. Then I got hot and sweaty, my mouth got very dry, I had pains and needles over my entire body, and the tip of my tongue got numb. I laid down in my bed and felt worse. My blood pressure was 160-170/105-110, and normally it is 120-135-70-84. I thought maybe I was having a neurological event, so I had my wife take me to the ER. I was there about 6 hours, but after about 3-4 hours, let better. The symptoms would come and go, lasting 3-5 minutes, and slowly improved. After the 2nd treponin was negative, they let me go home. I felt tired and mentally off a little. I rested. The next am, I was back to normal and have stayed OK since.

eye swelling; he had an allergy to the Covid 19; This is spontaneous report received from contactable consumer (patient) reported for himself. A 72-year-old male patient received second dose of BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, Solution for injection, Lot number: BUD1230, Expiry date: unknown) via an unspecified route of administration, administered in left arm on 17Feb2021 (age at vaccination was 72 years) at a single dose for COVID-19 immunisation. Medical history included high blood pressure. Concomitant medications included amlodipine (AMLODIPINE) and atenolol (ATENOLOL). The patient previously took first dose of BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, Solution for injection, Lot number: EL1284, Expiry date: unknown) via an unspecified route of administration, administered in left arm on 11Jan2021 (age at vaccination was 72 years) at a single dose for covid-19 immunisation. The patient has taken both doses. No additional vaccines were administered on same date with the Pfizer vaccine considered as suspect. The patient did not receive any other vaccines within 4 weeks prior to the COVID vaccine. Prior to vaccination, the patient was not diagnosed with any adverse event. In the original report caller stated that the patient reported he had an allergy to the Covid 19 vaccine 4 days after the first Covid 19 dose. He went to an allergist and the doctor asked him to wait 6 weeks until he took the second Covid 19 dose. After he received the second Covid 19 vaccine he had the same type of reaction as the first. The reaction was bumps on his scalp. Nothing major. He had taken Prednisone, Zyrtec at night, and Allegra in the morning. He recently has had bloodwork done and that bloodwork was sent to a lab. His concern was that lab results showed that he had a negative IGG serum so he doesn't have any Covid 19 antibodies. A culture was not performed. On an unspecified date, the patient also experienced eye swelling. The patient visited emergency room and physician office. The patient is a chemical engineer, not a biologist, but his theory is whether his immune system is keeping him from developing the antibodies. He doesn't know what to do now. He asked if he's protected. He asked if he should take a different type of Covid 19 vaccine that is not an mRNA vaccine. He was going to see his allergist again next Tuesday, 06Apr2021. He says there are people who developed the Covid 19 vaccine and he wants to call someone else and report his case. Someone who will pay attention to his case. None of the doctors that he visits have an answer about his allergy. He was taking the Prednisone after the first vaccine. He now takes Allegra in the morning and Zyrtec in the evening and that helps him. He also uses Cortisone10 cream where he has the bumps on his scalp. When he does that the number of bumps slowly disappear. No more swelling on the bumps. The bumps are on his scalp. He stopped using his shampoo and now uses baby shampoo. He reports after the first Covid 19 vaccine he didn't have a fever or felt tired, he didn't feel anything, just the bumps on his scalp appeared. He asked why he had no reaction right away after the first Covid 19 vaccine. He reported that it was 4-5 days after the first Covid 19 vaccine. He doesn't know if it's the allergies or his immune system. After he stopped taking Prednisone, he continued to take the Allegra and Zyrtec and the bumps went away but then they appear in a different location. The bumps don't hurt or itch. In his original report he states he had enquired if he should get the second Covid 19 vaccine and he never received an answer. He continued to do everything he did before getting the Covid 19 vaccine. He still exercises, he bikes, he plays tennis. He's not tired or anything. When probing concomitant medications, he reported that his doctor recently changed his blood pressure medication from Losartan 25 mg to Amlodipine 2.5 mg. As a chemical engineer, and he's not a biologist, but he did the antibody test and he thought, what is his immune system doing. Whether his immune system is protecting him from the mRNA. He doesn't know. He would like someone who has the knowledge to answer his question. The outcome of the events was unknown. No follow-up attempts are needed. No further information is expected.

On 03/23/2021 I had the second dose and I had a little bit of sore arm and a little bit lethargic for about 7-8 hours. On 05/04/2021 I woke up at 6:30 am and I felt just fine so I went back to sleep and woke up again at 8:30 and right away I knew something was wrong, I felt really weird. I could not hear, I lost hearing on my right ear for about 24 hours. I started to get vertigo and started to throw up and I vomited for about an hour. My wife decided to take me to the ER and they did an MRI and determined the stroke was in my cerebellum and that would explained the vertigo but that do not explained the hearing of loss. They gave me a blood thinner and diuretic. They thought is was Ménière's disease because of the hearing loss but after doing the MRI and CAT scan they determined it was a stroke. I was in the hospital for 3 days. I still have some balance problems and dizziness but I am getting better gradually.

Purkinje Tree and Covid-19 Vaccine. During the current COVID-19 pandemic and massively increased vaccinations, there have been few ocular side effects reported with the vaccine. 1) However conjunctivitis has occurred with Covid-19 infection and very rarely endophthalmitis has been reported. I wish to mention an otherwise unreported association with visualization of a Purkinje Tree and Pfizer Covid-19 second vaccine. I am a 73 year old otherwise healthy retired male. I had an entoptic experience after I received my second vaccine. With the first vaccine I had no visual side effects. The afternoon of my second dose I took an hour long nap, which was unusual for me. When I woke up and opened my eyes I noticed a bilateral arborizing, interlacing dark pattern that lasted less than a second. This was opaque but without a ghost image and otherwise the wall, sheet, and ceiling were seen clearly behind that network. I experimented with opening and shutting either and both eyes looking at a white sheet beneath me, and found that especially with my dominant left eye I saw a pattern resembling my left eye retinal vascular tree. The branches originated as single vessels superiorly and inferiorly that branched down to smaller vessels all on the right side of a disc type structure without duplication into an identifiable arteriolar and venous system. Even with a light source moving over my left shoulder, the image never lasted longer than a fraction of a second and fatigued quickly with repetition. I laid back down and repeated the experiment of opening and shutting either eye while looking at a white ceiling. Then the image changed to a horizontally oriented pattern with two single black vessel type structures coming off a disc type structure. The dark lines further branched and narrowed as they extended to the right and left off the disc type structure. Again this lasted less than a second. It faded away rather than floated away. The image always appeared in the same area of my field of vision. It was peri-central when I looked at the wall and inferior to fixation when I looked at the ceiling. The image would immediately move with eye movement, unlike a vitreous floater. Opening and shutting my left eye could refresh the image very briefly but that fatigued with repetition and could not be reproduced after 3-4 trials or without several hours between attempts. I did translations of Purkinje?s description of the Tree (described here later.) and had short term partial success with his methods, except for pushing on my eye, and using galvanic current, which I did not attempt. I declined a full exam but did remember a lecture about Purkinje images. He had the residents hold pen lights to the side of their eyes and move the light back and forth while he described the Purkinje Tree. Afterwards he quizzed the residents about whether they could see it or not, with the ?humorous? disclaimer that it was a means of IQ testing if they could see it. Half could. It was of interest to me that before I retired, occasionally patients would mentions seeing the tree after an ophthalmoscopic exam. I hoped to delight those patients by telling them it was a form of IQ quiz and they had done well. Two weeks later I was disappointed that I could no longer see the tree, but again declined an exam. I am optically conversant, but physically adverse in seeking self care. Purkinje first described the ?Tree?2) in his doctorate thesis in 1819. It was included in descriptions of other entoptic phenomena, performed mostly on himself. This was before the ophthalmoscope was discovered and before quality histological, serial sections were available. He described holding a candle or using galvanic illumination in front of his eyes individually and moving it around. He could see black lines in a network that came off a central pit structure. There were two lines inferiorly and superiorly with adjacent shadows and ultimately had size reducing branches. He recognized these branching lines as retinal blood vessels, but could not discern any blood flow. In 1825 he published a further volume 3) that dealt with experiments he subsequently had performed. He found that by holding a sheet of paper with a hole in it that he moved around, he could get a better view of the blood vessel pattern. He could discern the macula and described anastomosing blood vessels superior to inferior. A significant improvement in his discerning the blood vessel pattern was obtained with a safe amount of pressure on the superior lateral aspect of the eye. With this he could recognized blood corpuscles and flow patterns and then labeled the lines as veins. He did not describe arteriole patterns. So this leaves us with the question why this sudden awareness of the Purkinje Tree appeared in the time frame of a second Covid-19 vaccine. This will require further reports to determine coincidence versus cause-effect. This is a high stress time with Covid-19 deaths so prevalent. I had immediate relief after my second shot with a reduction of tension and increase in awareness of my general physical status as in the feeling of being hot or cold, sleepy or just fatigued, improved calmness, and the pertinent Purkinje Tree. At sign in for the second series of Pfizer injections the RN on duty asked about side effects from the first shot. She asked us to send a report in of any potential side effect then of the second shot and notified us that people were having more problems with the second shot than the first. Arm soreness, swelling, fever, chills, headache, malaise, fatigue. She gave us a print out list of known side effects, mostly systemic and all mild, but nothing ophthalmic. With these things in mind I was especially vigilant of any thing new in my general health or condition. Most of the patients getting the shots were students and the congregating area was in a wing of a hospital. This brought back the pleasant memory of my time in training and my chief?s description of Purkinje?s Tree and perhaps enhanced the brief ability to see the entoptic image. In between times playing with this image my vision was normal and my general health remained good, without symptoms of vascular compromise.

Generally did not feel good for several days afterward. Dizziness and balance problem lasted about a week. Worst for me was a serious deterioration of my eyesight (estimated 50% reduction) for 7 days and slight improvement to about 25% eyesight reduction in the second week, gradually improving to near normal in the third week after the first dose. At this point I'll mention that after the second dose, I had almost no adverse reactions, except for, again, an eyesight difficulty, a lesser reduction (about 25%) in my eyesight for four days, improving to normal after about a week.

It was him that wasn't solid; Headache; This is a spontaneous case received from a contactable consumer reported behalf of her husband. A 73 years old patient received 1st dose of BNT162B2 (lot/Batch: EN6206) on 13Mar2021 at single dose on left arm for covid-19 immunization. Medical history was High blood pressure (Treatment of high blood pressure: "Lisinopril dose one a day and dose is 12.5 according to it, it says here is HCTZ 10-12.5 mg it's oral tablet takes one at breakfast time); And then something else he takes because we had a storm earlier in summer, he was working where he works and wind just blew him face down into concrete side wall, but he put his arm up to resist it off, so he has been back and forth with his neurologist on this." There is another one that he does take because of hitting the side walk when I told him the wind blew him the side walk, he put his arm up but he gets a little dizzy once in a while because of that. It's Meclizine 25 mg, tablet, afternoon and evening 2 times a day." Concomitant drugs included Lisinopril, HCTZ and Meclizine. This past three weeks ago, 'my husband and I' (not clear) had our first injection for the Pfizer and within 4 minutes he was showing all kinds of reaction to it and he know he does not have reactions to very much of anything. I have no idea like it was something within the Pfizer medication that he was allergic to, allergic reaction. He stood on the floor I didn't figure out why he was standing up, he said the floor doesn't look steady to me which meant he was a little weak or dizzy whatever I don't know, so I reached over and I looked at his forehead and I said his forehead was dripping and I touched his forehead and it was cold, so the cold sweat coming from the forehead." He was excessively tired for almost 2 weeks. Like I said he kept on standing up the couple of times and I said what's the matter and he said I don't feel like I am standing on a solid ground and I said yes you are, then he told me a few days later that his feet bothered him after that shot, he couldn't really describe what it was, but he told me it went right down to his feet and that's probably why he didn't feel right. So, anyway I end up calling over an RN and she and another RN had to take him over to take his blood pressure, his blood pressure went down and now only he had high blood pressure, he took his medication (Unspecified Medication) that morning like he always does and it went down to 107/70 and when they gave him a small bottle of water to drink and they said just stand up and take it. Took the medication stood up and it was 132/80, it was probably more than his normal. So, I mean I couldn't understand what was happening that he was tired through, excessive tired to the point that he didn't want to go to work, so I mean I didn't question what's wrong specially when I looked over and his forehead just dripping, for approximate 4 minutes after the injection. So, I mean I really don't know to have been that way. Then often had, he told me he had 'more' (not clear) saliva for a week and a half, it's just saliva in his mouth that kept on foaming up. I had noted to if this was anything that was never him, he has never had lot of saliva in his mouth anyway. But, this side of him of course it showed it was working and that lasted almost 2 weeks as well, 2 week I think 2 weeks. And now he is starting to feel better but he didn't feel well but better than 2 weeks after the first injection. I had taken that was on 13th, 13th took him to his doctor and he recommended to not take a second one. He felt very weak, I mean this took 2 weeks to go away. He did mention that when he stood up he didn't feel like he was standing on solid ground and I know this as I have been there probably for more than 50 years, so of course he was. He received them, his blood pressure dropped to a 107/70 went that down, changing back to 132/80, actually they gave him a bottle of water in between and he did drink water for it so. And his forehead was dripping cold sweat and he told me later that he felt something strange in feet and that's why he was standing up I couldn't figure that part out in fact he was on solid floor or solid ground, so I am thinking the weakness set in him very quickly. So, that he was really dizzy, I don't know and that's why I said I called over the RN and she grabbed another RN and they helped him over to take his blood pressure they took it down it was almost 107/70. Now if he has got high blood pressure, it just the blood pressure going to be really in morning and this is at 5:30 at night, doesn't mean like and he is a lot to me. And he had excess saliva in his mouth seem to be foaming in his mouth. I don't know if you had any of these reactions or unless it's just him I really don't know. When probed for the start date of the events (event not specified), reporter stated, "Approximate 5:39, maybe 5:39, 5:40 in the evening which was last month, that on the 13th." Reporter confirmed that patient would not go for second dose of vaccine and that reporter is due for second dose on this Saturday. And according to what I understand and what I was told 107/70 wasn't trending down, to me it was, but I am not a doctor nor a nurse or any other professional to have said not in medical field but when his forehead started dripping cold sweat and he was acting little strange and standing up and what is wrong because I was right next to him, I said what is wrong, he said I feel like I am falling down. The biggest one that bothers him beside being also retired for 2 weeks. He keeps on getting this foam in his mouth from saliva, excess saliva foam and that has no idea what's close to. High blood pressure, he had taken that tablet (Unspecified Medication) that morning. Actually the tiredness is gone away, the blood pressure is back to normal, like I said he was absolutely tired for 2 weeks and I think it coincide with Pfizer's 1 to 2 days. He is also having a headache and he just take Tylenol for that. Outcome of the event was unknown. No follow up attempts needed. Information about lot/ batch number not requested.

Spinal meningitis; Shingles; severe pounding headaches; migraine; pain in his back; wobbly, very off balance; dizziness; stomach pain; stomach felt hard; has not had a correct bowel movement since then; ringing in his ears; hearing loss; drive his blood pressure up/his blood pressure goes up; This is a spontaneous report from contactable consumers (patient and wife). A 73-year-old male patient received bnt162b2 (BNT162B2 reported as PFIZER COVID SHOT), dose 2 via an unspecified route of administration (reported as injection) at vaccination age of 73-year-old in the left arm (reported as left shoulder) on 17Feb2021 09:15 (Lot Number: EL3247) as a single dose for covid-19 immunisation. The patient had no medical history and concomitant medications. The patient received the first dose of bnt162b2 (BNT162B2 reported as PFIZER COVID SHOT) via an unspecified route of administration (reported as injection) at vaccination age of 72-year-old in the left arm (reported as left shoulder) on 26Jan2021 09:00 (Lot Number: EL9262) as a single dose for covid-19 immunization. The patient's historical immunizations were reported that the patient never had a flu vaccine in his life before this one and the only other vaccines has ever had were the pneumonia shots and that was years ago. The patient did not receive other vaccine four weeks prior to the first administration of the bnt162b2. The patient received the vaccine in a military facility. The patient reported that he started having (after the second shot) dizziness on 18Feb2021 and pain in his back on 12Mar2021 that kept accelerating until he was admitted in the hospital. The dizziness was ongoing, and he was shaking all the time now, he has had never had the shakes. He added that if he stands up, he gets very dizzy, wobbly, very off balance and starts to drive his blood pressure up on 18Feb2021. He has been checking that twice a day and if he's up at all and walking around, his blood pressure goes up and his head starts pounding. It's the same and it's just wrong. The patient stated that they ran a series of tests, did a spinal tap and found out he had viral spinal meningitis and shingles which he is still experiencing. The wife reported that one of the side effects is that the patient has lost some hearing, so she stated that she was going to help a little. The dizziness began, he's got it marked down on the day he got his second shot on the 17Feb2021 but further stated he has a note on his sheet that he was busy all day, he believes it was the day after (18Feb2021 but also reported as 17Feb2021), that he began having dizziness. On 13Mar2021, the patient began to have stomach pain and stomach felt hard. The patient stated that his stomach felt hard and has not had a correct bowel movement since then. He added that his stomach and digestive system were not any better, it's persisting. He mentioned that it started just progressing from his back to his stomach. It started going up and getting in his head and having severe pounding headaches. He has never had a headache, never had a migraine, these were severe. He added that he had to be in a dark quiet room to get any peace and that continued until he got out of the hospital. He also mentioned that he was still having severe pounding headaches from 17Mar2021 they are not as severe as those were. He added that he went to the emergency room on 18Mar2021 because of the severe head problems and lower back problems. They checked him for kidney stones and had x-rays (they were ultrasonic) which they thought maybe he had passed a stone, but there was no evidence of it, other than a distressed left kidney. They scheduled him for another ultrasound on 23Mar2021. He mentioned that his migraines still persisted since 17Mar2021 and when he went back in on the 23Mar2021 for the ultrasound (unknown result), they went back to the emergency room and checked in. They did more tests and they said his white blood count went up to 17,000 and it was obvious his body was fighting something and that's when they admitted him to the hospital. The reporter stated that after they did the spinal tap on the 26Mar2021 and determined that he had the shingles and the spinal meningitis, they gave him a super dose of some medicine and discharged him home with 10 days-worth of medications that they said would help with his symptoms, but the virus would have to run its course. On Mar2021, the patient also mentioned that he has such hearing loss, ringing in his ears, that's a factor. The ringing is so loud that it does cut down on the quality of his hearing. He couldn't hear at all when he got out of the hospital but that has subsided. He stated that the tinnitus, that's what he thinks it's called, it's just non-stop and heavy in his ears. It started while he was in the hospital. He couldn't hear but didn't pay much attention to it. It was all muffled, so then when he came out of the hospital, he paid more attention that is was non-stop ringing which was about the same and it hasn't worsened. The adverse events required emergency room and physician office visit (virtual consult). The patient underwent lab tests and procedures which included blood pressure measurement up on an unspecified date in 2021, had multiple computerized tomogram (CAT) scan and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) but they couldn't find any problems on an unspecified date in 2021, spinal tap showed spinal meningitis and shingles on 26Mar2021, white blood cell count was 17,000 on 23Mar2021 and x-ray (they were ultrasonic) with results of distressed left kidney on 18Mar2021. He had multiple CAT scans and multiple MRI's and the MRI was absolutely miserable with his pounding headache, an hour in that machine. Basically, that's why they had to do the spinal tap because they couldn't find any problems. The reporter stated that through the blood work they could see it, but with the CAT scans, x-rays, ultrasounds, MRI's, they all came back with basically nothing on them on an unspecified date in 2021. With the spinal tap, they knew within an hour, they found spinal meningitis and he did have the shingles. There is a big shingles spot on his chest, it was the only obvious thing and the only rash was on his chest. The patient doesn't remember when he first got the rash on his chest, he had so many electrodes on his body monitoring him, he thought it was one of those sticky things that was irritating him. When someone came in at the hospital, that's when they saw it. They said oh you have got shingles. The patient stated that it wasn't painful, he was in enough of other pain. It was about the size of a silver dollar and there's a little bit of stuff on his back, it goes around like a belt. They saw some little spots on his back, but it never bothered him. The patient reported that it's a lot better, its healing. He can still see the whole thing, it feels kind of rough and bumpy, but it's not painful, it's healing and its improved. The reporter agrees it started sometime in Mar2021 and it is ongoing. The patient mentioned that he was unsure if they did any urine testing, but they took so much blood and stuff, they didn't tell him anything about that. The events dizziness, back pain, headache, gait unsteady, migraine, meningitis, shingles resulted in hospitalization. The outcome of the events back pain, meningitis and blood pressure orthostatic increased were unknown, as for the events headache and shingles were recovering, while the outcome of the other events was not recovered.

infection in ear lobe; ear infection/tissue inside his ear dried up and bleeding/infection started in his ear lobe that migrated to his whole left side of his face; Pain localised; Ear bleeding; Skin fissures; Shingles; Fluid discharge; Axillary abscess/substantial bubble of puss under arm; fever/Temp of 105; Chills; weakness; Swelling face; Eye swelling; This is a solicited report based on the information received by Pfizer. A 73-year-old male patient received bnt162b2 (Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine), dose 1 intramuscular on 01Mar2021 (Batch/Lot number was not reported) as a single dose for covid-19 vaccination; adalimumab (HUMIRA), subcutaneous from an unspecified date (Batch/Lot Number: 1132646) to an unspecified date, at unspecified dose, subcutaneous from an unspecified date (Batch/Lot Number: 1136949) to Mar2021, at unspecified dose for moderate to severe hidradenitis suppurativa. The patient medical history includes ear infection. Concomitant medications were not reported. On unknown dates, the patient experienced tissue inside ear dried up and had bleeding, second infection in ears/painful when touched, felt pain on top of head, skin was cracking up, minor infections in ears, possible shingles and whole left side of face and eye swollen. In 2021, the patient experienced infection in ear lobe, feeling low energy and whole left side of face and eye swollen. On 02Mar2021, the patient experienced felt weakness and chills. On 08Apr2021, the patient experienced substantial bubble of pus under arm. On 10Apr2021, the patient experienced thick white odorous liquid almost syrup came pouring out of armpit. In Apr2021, the substantial bubble of pus under arm resolved. On unknown dates, felt pain on top of head, minor infections in ears and whole left side of face and eye swollen resolved. Covid-19 vaccine was also considered suspect. In Feb2021, the patient saw his physician twice for an ear infection. On 01Mar2021, the patient got his first vaccine shot. The next day he had chills and fever and feeling of weakness the next day. He went away after a short time and he felts better. He went to the physician twice in the past two weeks for minor infections especially in his ears. The tissue inside his ear dried up and bleeding. On the first visit he had a fever due to the infection in the ear. His physician prescribed antibiotic for a week. He got another infection in the same ears. He was painful when touched it. He went back to physician and physician prescribed another anitbiotic. The physician said the infections were to be expected with Humira because Humira weakens immune system. Partly because of his age. His age may be a contributing factor as well. He agrees to have physician contacted. On 29Mar2021 to 1Apr2021, he was in the hospital his infection started in his ear lobe that migrated to his whole left side of his face. His eye was swollen and felt pain on top of his head. His Temp of 105 when he went in. The patient was given intravenous antibiotics. He was tested to make sure infection had not spread to blood or bones. The Humira might have played a role because it lowers the bodies resistance to infection. They asked him not to take the Humira for two Saturdays. He did not take Humira on 09Apr2021 or before. He was stable. His skin was cracking up. Thought it might be shingles. He was prescribed an oral antibiotic first time, but then a week and a half later, it acted up again and he went back and got a different antibiotic and that worked until it. He was feeling completely better since he got out of the hospital. He had more energy than he had in a while. He had been feeling low energy for a while due to the infection. His physician did not think he should stop taking Humira but if he got a fever he needs to investigate immediately to see if he needs to hospitalized. In 08Apr2021, he had substantial bubble of puss under his arm. He gave him a steroid injection to control that. On 10Apr2021, he had thick white odorous liquid almost syrup came pouring out of his armpit and he thinks that was the end of it. On 11Apr2021, he had his second Covid vaccine manufactured by Moderna then after he was released from the hospital. He was no issues or reactions with either injection. He was careful when he went out around people. It was unknown if patient was enrolled in a COVID-19 Vaccine Trial. The action taken in response to the events adalimumab was not applicable. The outcome of event infection in ear lobe, eye swelling and swelling face recovered in 2021, weakness and chills and fever recovered in Mar2021, ear infection and pain localised recovered on unspecified date, Axillary abscess/substantial bubble of puss under arm recovered in Apr2021; event ear bleeding was recovering; event fluid discharge, skin fissures and shingles was unknown. The reporter's causality for adalimumab (Humira) on the events infection in ear lobe, tissue inside ear dried up and had bleeding unknown onset, tissue inside ear dried up and had bleeding unknown onset, second infection in ears/painful when touched, felt pain on top of head, minor infections in ears, substantial bubble of puss under arm, whole left side of face and eye swollen onset in 2021 and whole left side of face and eye swollen unknown onset with Humira (Adalimumab) was a reasonable possibility. The reporter's causality for the event(s) of felt weakness and chills with Humira (Adalimumab) was no reasonable possibility. The reporter's causality for the event(s) of feeling low energy, thick white odorous liquid almost syrup came pouring out of armpit, skin was cracking up and possible shingles was not provided. Opinion is that there is a reasonable possibility that the events of infection in ear lobe, feeling low energy, thick white odorous liquid almost syrup came pouring out of armpit, second infection in ears/painful when touched, felt pain on top of head, skin was cracking up, minor infections in ears, possible shingles, substantial bubble of puss under arm, whole left side of face and eye swollen onset in 2021 and whole left side of face and eye swollen unknown onset are related to humira(adalimumab). Opinion is that there is no reasonable possibility that the events of felt weakness, chills, tissue inside ear dried up and had bleeding unknown onset and tissue inside ear dried up and had bleeding unknown onset are related to humira(adalimumab).; Sender's Comments: Pfizer comment: The serious events Ear lobe infection and Condition aggravated were considered as unlikely related to Pfizer BNT162b2 vaccine. A possible contributory role of BNT162b2 cannot be completely excluded for the non-serious asthenia, pyrexia and chills, which occurred in a close temporal relation, namely, one day after the first dose BNT162B2 injection. The other reported events were confirmed as non-serious, while the causality was confounded by ADALIMUMAB administration. The infectious events were to be expected with co-suspect due an immunosuppression activity with increased infection susceptibility, such as Herpes zoster and Ear lobe infection aggravated, in this case. Furthermore, swelling face and eye swollen with unknown onset in 2021 may be attributable to the co-suspect and unrelated to the vaccine. 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.

Shortly after receiving the first dose, I developed a very salty taste in my mouth. I also noticed a pungent odor to my urine. My research suggested that I may be dehydrated, and I contacted my PCP, who suggested that I increase my water intake, which I did, and this was back ~20 March. I have increased my water intake since than, adding ~1-2 liters per day; there has been no change to my symptoms. I'm thinking I should perhaps go visit him

Per secure message sent by patient on 2/4/2021: "I received my Covid shot at the clinic on January 28th. Yesterday, February 2nd, in the late afternoon I became very red and itchy and my tongue swelled. I went to the emergency room where they gave me sodium chloride, Benadryl, Pepcid and 2 "epi" shots. After about 4 hours I was sent home. Could that have been a reaction to my Covid vaccine? Today I am tired but fine and swelling is gone. I had told the person who scheduled my first shot and the person who vaccinated me that I was taking Skyrizi injections for psoriasis and had my last injection of Skyrizi on Dec 15."

I received the two doses of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine. I was given the second dose (2/3/21) three weeks after the first dose (1/13/21). Some time after receiving the first dose, I noticed a subtle but definite strange feeling all around my mouth and tongue, like a "film" over everything. I also noticed a loss of taste. I suffered from anosmia and dysgeusia many years ago, but through medical intervention, I gained back over 90% of smell and 80% of taste. Now I've noticed more loss of taste again, and I don't think it's coincidence that it's happened while getting vaccinated. I just hope that I regain taste (which is only 45-50% now maybe) as time goes by.

problems breathing; allergic reaction; rash on the left ankle; hypersensitive on certain frequencies was reported as worsened; hypersensitive on certain frequencies was reported as worsened; his vision since the shots was compromised/vision in the lower section had shrunk even more/gotten worse; he moved things, but couldn't remember where he moved them; residual neuropathy in feet was reported as worsened; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable consumer (patient himself). A 74-year-old male patient received BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, Solution for injection), via an unspecified route of administration, administered in the right upper arm on 04Mar2021 at 11:00 (Batch/Lot Number: EN6199) as the 2nd dose, single for COVID-19 immunization. The vaccine was administered at the military facility. He previously received the 1st dose of BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE; batch/lot number: EN9581) on 11Feb2021 at 2-3 pm (at the age of 74 years old) in the right upper arm and experienced a bout of diarrhea, but he took loperamide (IMODIUM) and it went away; he expected the first shot and last only about a day. Relevant medical history included ongoing legally blind, wherein his central vision was screwed up and this was something going on before the shots and with his peripheral vision, there were areas he could see clearly, and also had eye pain; his hearing was hypersensitive on certain frequencies, which was ongoing; and residual neuropathy in feet; all from an unknown date prior the vaccine. The patient had no concomitant medications. The patient previously took clonazepam (KLONOPIN) from an unspecified date in 2009; further reported that the patient had no information on this medication other than it was Klonopin that caused him to stop breathing and put in coma in 2009 and that he was given intravenous (IV) antibiotics, because he had 3 major infections and this was when the issue with his vision started. The patient previously received and stopped getting the flu shot years prior reporting when he got sick for 6 weeks. The patient had no prior vaccinations (within 4 weeks) other than the first dose. The patient had no family medical history relevant to the adverse events (AEs). The patient reported that he got the second shot of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine and within 5 minutes, he had a severe reaction. He was in an observation area at the facility and less than 5 minutes after getting the shot, he had problems breathing on 04Mar2021, it was painful to breath; however, it was further reported that "painful" was not the word for the problems breathing. The triage team gave him shots and he went to the emergency room (ER) and ended up spending the night in the hospital. It was further reported that they gave him an epinephrine (EpiPen) and some other shot in the left arm and diphenhydramine (BENADRYL) in the right arm and put on oxygen on him. He was admitted to the hospital and released the next day. He was given the option to leave the next day and so he did. The doctor explained, they were concerned it was cardiac related, but did blood work and told them he was fine on an unspecified date in 2021. The doctor also told him they saw a rash on the left ankle on 04Mar2021 and therefore knew it was an allergic reaction. The rash on ankle was barely visible the next day, it had resolved though, but was not sure of the exact date. He couldn't have seen it anyway. There had also been other issues since then. He remarked that he moved things, but couldn't remember where he moved them on an unspecified date in 2021. On an unspecified date in Mar2021, the hypersensitive on certain frequencies was reported as worsened. Regarding the patient's hearing, he explained that while in church, they were playing music and it was pure pain. He went to the clinic and saw an otolaryngologist, who told him that his hearing was hypersensitive on certain frequencies, not all though. He stated he had this before, but never with music at the church or like this. He was in the car and a car beside him with heavy base playing was giving him issues; the same kind of the pain, but on the opposite end with base. This was something new and not like he had before. It was ongoing and he had not gone back to church, so as not to experience this again. This started within a week or 2 after the second shot. Since the shots on an unspecified date in Mar2021, his vision was compromised. There were upper and lower areas, "sweet spots," he could see. With his last check up, the vision in the lower section had shrunk even more; where he could see from about the 3:30 to 8:30 area before, currently it was from 5:00 to 7:00. He explained this was like on a clock. Also he was able to see the big E at the top of a vision chart, but in Mar2021 after the second shot, he noticed within days, he could no longer see the large E. He had a regularly schedule appointment a couple weeks after the second shot and this was noticed. It had gotten worse. Additionally, he would stand in front of the eye chart and as part of the eye exam, they would hold out fingers to see if he could see them. Last year at 6 feet (ft), he could see them, but currently, he couldn't see them until 2 ft away. If he was in bright light, he had severe eye pain, to the point of crying. He had to leave and get out of that situation, it was so bad. Even going outside with a hat and sunglass without looking at bright light, it still impacted him. The lighting in his bathroom bothered him; he had to have the blinds closed and was home bound. His closet was the only way to get relief. This was all new since the Covid shot. On an unspecified date in 2021, the residual neuropathy in feet was reported as worsened. He had this previously, but currently had hypersensitive in his feet in those areas. The patient found some essential oils that help so he could get to sleep and keep it from itching in his feet. The patient was deducting that for whatever reason, it was impacting nerve areas that had issues previously. It was causing them to get worse. He could only find this commonality; the optic, auditory, and residual neuropathy, the shot was aggravating these things that he already had problems with previously. It was added that he had also noticed his eyes had a throbbing pain, like a feeling of wanting to explode. He has had this in the past, but not too often and currently, it was daily and it was getting worse. It started about 3 weeks after, but it didn't happen often at first. Currently, it was almost daily. The doctor told him that there was not a way this could happen, there was no evidence this could happen. There had been no treatment, nothing had been done. He said with his DNA, if something could go wrong even just 1% then it would happen to him. The AE "problems breathing" did require an ER visit. The patient was hospitalized for the event problems breathing from 04Mar2021 to 05Mar2021. The patient underwent further lab tests and procedures, which included hearing test with unknown results on an unspecified date. Therapeutic measures were taken as a result of problems breathing, allergic reaction, and rash on the left ankle. The patient recovered from the event "problems breathing" on 04Mar2021; he recovered from the events "allergic reaction and rash on the left ankle" on an unspecified date in 2021; he was not recovered from the events "residual neuropathy in feet was reported as worsened, hypersensitive on certain frequencies was reported as worsened, and his vision since the shots was compromised/vision in the lower section had shrunk even more/gotten worse," while the outcome of the other event was unknown.
