He initially had a slight temperature, some chills, slight cough, runny nose and those symptoms except for the cough seem to have resolved, what hasn't resolved is about every 30 or 40 minutes or so he had been having to urinate ever since 26Feb2021 night, his mouth has been constantly very dry. Still urinating every half hour 45 minutes and ongoing. Mouth has been very dry and had a couple of areas where it seems like maybe he had bit his lip or something, maybe when he was sleeping. It was nothing like that in mouth anymore but the mouth is still constantly so dry like dehydrated and no matter how much of fluid he drank that doesn't seem to help it and what in fact has also caused was on yesterday morning he had been a little constipated on Friday night and then yesterday morning had a severe case of diarrhea. Now he had not had another bowel movement since yesterday morning as no appetite and feeling so lousy, and so tired and fatigued. He had been feeling even much worse since getting the vaccine.

Awakening on Saturday, March 13, I saw blood on my pillow and a pee spot on the bed (my first time for either). I could barely get out of bed (an awkward rollover did it). My tongue was numb (still is) and raw from the presumed chewing on it. Walking was slow and painful as all muscles hurt. If I sneezed or coughed, my back would hurt. Those last problems are still true. I periodically cough up phlegm and lacking a good place to spit it out, I just swallow it. I have for the first time in my life been using a walker for stability. Right arm is almost useless due to pain.

Almost immediately felt swelling at the injection site, which I felt as being normal. Next day when I woke up felt a slight headache , abnormal vision issues that included sparkles, blurred vision and a general tiredness. Did not feel refreshed as I normally do when I wake up in the morning. As the day went on sparkles and vision issues remained and headache got worse. Went to bed earlier than normal and next day when woke up the symptoms got worse, I felt like I had a migraine. Vision issues persisted. Laid down around 11AM and took a nap and when I woke up I noticed a blotch in my left eye reminiscent of the shape of a fish (looked like a shark) and it had different colors. Bright yellow and black almost kind of an iridescent green and orange. The shape was still just the colors were different. I panicked and called the optometrist and explained what happened. They wanted to see me right away. I was able to be seen in the afternoon. They looked at it, did two tests and came with the diagnosis of a branch retinal artery occlusion. I visited my neuro- ophthalmologist on 01/28 and he confirmed the diagnosis had previously given. He then ordered fedrate and a couple of other tests. They also did a visual acuity in the left eye (20/30) and color vision (8/8 normal) and color plates and intraocular pressure (16 OS)

drooping eye lid in the left eye; a little double vision sometimes; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable consumer (patient). A 77-year-old male patient received BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, Formulation: Solution for injection, Lot Number: EL92104) via an unspecified route of administration in arm on 05Feb2021 at 11:00 (at the age of 77-year-old) as dose 2, single for COVID-19 immunization. Medical history included myasthenia gravis from 1992 and ongoing, thymectomy from 1996 to an unknown date and drug hypersensitivity (he's allergic to penicillin, he thinks he got hives, he doesn't know, when he was 10 or 12 years old. He states that's when they told him he had an allergy with the penicillin, and he got red lumps on his legs). The patient's concomitant medications were not reported. The patient previously received BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, Lot number: EL92104; Dosage text: injection, unknown dosage, arm) on 15Jan2021 at 11:00 (at the age of 77-year-old) for COVID-19 immunization. The patient did not receive vaccinations within four weeks prior to the first administration date of BNT162B2. The patient reported that 2 or 3 weeks after the vaccination, in Feb2021, he experienced a dropping eyelid in the left eye. He states now the thing that's important in this issue was he has myasthenia gravis, which is considered to be an autoimmune disease. The drooping eyelid might be some effect that the vaccination had on the myasthenia gravis, there might be a connection between those two. He sort of has a little double vision sometimes while watching the television. He stated that could be a characteristic of the myasthenia gravis, but it also could be the vaccination has caused a problem with the myasthenia. The drooping eye lid seems to be a little better, but the double vision was not. The double vision was not there all the time. The drooping eyelid he can't always tell was there, he had to look in the mirror and the reason he started paying attention to it was somebody motioned it to him. They asked what was wrong with his eye and he said nothing. He couldn't really tell without a mirror. Over a period of time, he started seeing drooping eyelid if they look through the side. He noticed that the drooping was usually worse later in the day. For a little double vision, he stated that usually when he was looking straight ahead, it did not seem to be there. He looked to the side or his eyes tire out a little, he tends to see it, the vision was a little off. It was a little worse than it was in the very beginning. He further reported that the first symptoms of the myasthenia were drooping eyelid and double vision which was what has getting now. He stated now whether these have anything to do with each other he did not know. The patient visited physician (ophthalmologist) office due to the drooping eyelid. The patient did not undergo relevant tests. The patient reported that the drooping eye lid and double vision may not be related. Therapeutic measures were taken as a result of drooping eye lid in the left eye. The clinical outcome of drooping eye lid in the left eye was resolving; and double vision was not resolving.

As the month went on it got worse and worse. In March he was out cleaning up the yard and as he worked it got worse and worse. He would have to work for 5 and sit down for a minute. He has hyperventilation syndrome and diagnosed back in 1980 and has been under control, this is one thing that always happens, which seems to be an ongoing problem that he's having. His settings on his pacemaker seem to be OK. He was sitting on his couch and watching a race on 3/8/21 and got a shock coming up from the bottom part of his head, through his chest and out through his right eye, this was less than 2 seconds. This was an event, but not a hard "mule" kick event. He wasn't doing anything to get the shock. The defibrillator is connected to the bottom part of his heart. He has a logic system and had an episode of 190-200 BPM which was at the top part of his heart. He had all of his equipment checked out yesterday, but they could not give him an answer why he got a shock. He now has to set up an appointment with his cardiologist to see tomorrow. He has had the pacemaker for 6-7 years now and the device goes into the device clinic and he gets reports regarding this information. They device people said there was no registration that he had any event.

About 72 hours after the 1st dose, I experienced a fullness in the left ear accompanied with a low frequency, low volume buzzing or humming . These symptoms persisted over the next week, but would switch from left to right ear or occasionally in both.

In this case while it is not loud, it is loud enough to be annoying, and it still did not go away. (time is now -01:13 PM 2/16, I am hoping it is just the vaccine working its way through my system. I notified my primary care doctor at the VA, as well as audio dept.

Patient received his 2nd dose of the Pfizer vaccine at on Monday, February 15. That evening, he experienced visual disturbances with slightly blurred vision. Not thinking anything of it at the time, the vision cleared, and he continued about their evening/week without telling anyone of his visual disturbances. On Sunday, February 21, he experienced additional visual disturbances including double vision and dizziness, and we had him visit a local ER for evaluation. He was discharged with a diagnosis of dehydration and vertigo. No scans were performed. The visual disturbances cleared up the following week and the only persistent symptom was a slight dizziness. An eye exam was performed on Friday, February 26 with no problems found. An MRI was performed on March 3, and he was diagnosed with the below conditions. Impression (3/3/2021) 1. Small acute to subacute infarcts in the left splenium of the corpus callosum and parasagittal left occipital lobe. 2. Trace subarachnoid hemorrhage in the parasagittal left parietal lobe. 3. Mild chronic microvascular ischemic disease. He was admitted to the hospital and remained there until Saturday, March 6. Follow-up scans and testing were performed with no underlying reason for the stroke being determined. Prior to the stroke, he had been a very active individual with osteoarthritis as is only health complaint. He was not on any prescription medication prior to the stroke. While in the hospital, the tests for high blood pressure, high cholesterol (LDL 92 MG/DL), sugar inadequacies (glucose 93 mg/dl, A1C 5.7%), etc. came back without major concerns. His follow-up CT scans also did not reveal the stroke shown on the MRI. No inquiry was made by any of his doctors or hospital staff as to his COVID vaccination status/dates to even consider the connection. Below are the results of the last CT scans: Impression (3/4/2021) 1. Age-related volume loss and white matter disease similar to prior exams. 2. Small infarct seen on MRI are not well seen on CT. 3. No acute intracranial abnormality demonstrated on the CT scan. Impression (3/5/2021) 1. No evidence of acute infarct or intracranial hemorrhage. No significant change. 2. Periventricular white matter disease is likely secondary to chronic small vessel ischemic changes.

Vision changes in right eye/vision complications/getting a dark spot in the bottom part of the vision of his right eye; loss of his peripheral vision; the peripheral vision in his right eye was getting cloudy/eyes go in and out of focus while reading; his vision was getting a little worse; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable 84-year-old retired pharmacist (patient). An 84-year-old male patient received the second dose of BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 MRNA VACCINE; solution for injection; Lot Number: EW0164) via an unspecified route of administration on an 15Apr2021 at 12:00 (at the age of 84-years-old) as a single dose in the right arm for COVID-19 immunisation.

His cholesterol has been great, since he had been taking cholesterol medications, he has had normal cholesterol. He thought his total cholesterol last time was 170 and that his triglycerides were low), blood pressure from an unspecified date and unspecified if ongoing, heartburn from an unspecified date and unspecified if ongoing and eye problems from an unspecified date and ongoing. The patient did not have a history of adverse events following prior vaccinations. Family medical history relevant to the adverse event was reported as the patient's sister had eye problems. She had to get an injection in her eye every couple of weeks or once a month or something. He did not know if his sister had macular degeneration or what. Other than wearing eye glasses, that was the only family history that he could think of that might be relevant. Concomitant mediations included morniflumate (FLOMAX; capsule) taken for prostate from an unspecified date and ongoing at 1 DF 2x/day (8-10 years ago, started with 1 capsule daily but now took 1 capsule twice daily; the patient reported that at his last report, his PSA was up to 9 and it was now down to 3.1); finasteride (PROSCAR) taken for prostate from an unspecified date and ongoing; hydrochlorothiazide/lisinopril (LISINOPRIL + HIDROCLOROTIAZIDA) taken for an unspecified indication from an unspecified date and ongoing (for quite a long time); omeprazole (PRILOSEC) taken for heartburn from an unspecified date and ongoing, as needed (if the patient knew that he was going to have something spicy or tomato based for dinner, he knew he would get heartburn, so he would take a Prilosec in the morning. He had used Prilosec for years off and on, since he was working as a pharmacist and he retired in 2013) and atorvastatin calcium taken for cholesterol from an unspecified date and ongoing (for about a year; he was changed from Zocor because the medication did not get along with his blood pressure sometimes). The patient previously received zocor on an unspecified date for an unspecified indication and experienced did not get along with his blood pressure sometimes. The patient did not receive additional vaccines on the same date or within 4 weeks prior to the COVID-19 vaccine. The patient received the flu (INFLUENZA VACCINE), pneumonia (PNEUMOCOCCAL VACCINE) and shingles (VARICELLA ZOSTER VACCINE) vaccines all at the end of 2020 (at the age of 84-years-old) for immunization. The patient received the first dose of BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 MRNA VACCINE; solution for injection; Lot Number: EB8730) via an unspecified route of administration on an 25Mar2021 (at the age of 84-years-old) as a single dose in the left arm for COVID-19 immunisation. In Apr2021 the patient experienced vision changes in right eye/vision complications/getting a dark spot in the bottom part of the vision of his right eye, loss of his peripheral vision, the peripheral vision in his right eye was getting cloudy/eyes go in and out of focus while reading and his vision was getting a little worse. The clinical course was reported as follows: The patient was a retired pharmacist who called to find out whether there had been any reports of vision complications after the COVID-19 vaccine. He received the second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine on 15Apr2021 and as of about 2 weeks ago, the peripheral vision in his right eye was getting cloudy and the patient was getting a dark spot in the bottom part of the vision of his right eye. He did not know if Pfizer had any types of reports on that type of side effect. He made an appointment with his eye doctor for tomorrow, 04May2021. He wanted to have any information that Pfizer might have. He knew that his eye doctor was going to ask him questions to try to determine what was causing the vision changes. He wanted to check with Pfizer before he went to the eye doctor so that he had an answer to the doctor's questions. The patient reported that his vision was getting a little worse. He was now having a little trouble with the computer. He had to refocus every time he moved his eyes. Yesterday, 02May2021, he had what could have been a problem driving. He was driving on the highway and there was a lighted sign. He could not read the sign because it was on the right side of the road. By the time he could focus on the sign, he could not read it because he was right by the sign. Something like that could be a big problem. He reported that his eyes go in and out of focus while reading. He had to re-focus when he was going to the next line of text that he was reading. He just got an eye exam and new glasses in Feb2021. His problem in Feb2021 was with focus. He was having problems more or less with reading. In the bright light, everything was fine, but that in regular kitchen or incandescent light, he would only be able to read a paragraph or so. He would then have to refocus in order to read more. It became a real problem and the new glasses that he got were not solving it. The patient stated that the last Pfizer representative he spoke with said that Pfizer did not have any vision changes listed as a side effect of the COVID-19 vaccine that the representative knew of. The Pfizer representative informed the caller that there may have been calls that have come in reporting vision changes, but vision changes were not listed as a side effect yet. The patient stated that he saw about 5 doctors. His primary care physician did not know about the vision changes as the changes had just occurred in the last 2 weeks. The patient had absolutely no reaction to either dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. He did not even have a sore arm following the COVID-19 vaccine injections. The vision changes started about 2 weeks ago and he wanted to wait to see if it was going to clear up before he made appointments with his physicians.

It was reported that, He gave transfer agent some dates of the 2nd, the 17th and the 21st and then stated it was the wrong one. Those were the dates the transfer agent was given. Transfer agent stated that, the caller never told her which vaccine it was. The caller was transferred to the call handler at that time he was asked to confirm information. The caller was asked whether he was calling about the Pfizer Covid-19 Vaccine when he referred to vaccine and he stated that, he has had both vaccines, he had them both way back. The caller stated that, the first was 27 21. Caller stated, it is the first month, call handler should not ask him that. The truth was, he cannot remember, was had been a while passed. Call handler asked for clarification of first month and caller does not provide. Call handler asked whether first month January and caller were stated that, it had to have been January or he does not know. The second was the 2nd, 17 27. The caller stated that was the second month, January and February. The call handler attempted clarification, but caller could not provide. He stated that, 27Jan2021 and 17Feb2021 he guesses means the second month and a first month, that was what was written on his card. No further clarification was provided. Dates remain unclear. The caller stated that, the second shot was really rough. It was a hard time before. The caller was asked for clarification and additional details were not provided. Caller stated that, he got the shot, he was skeptical about taking it but it was something he was taking. He was talking to a lot of different people and they were getting him to do what was important. The shots - the cold - nothing. He has never had to do that. He was really pretty to snuff other than at one point he got cancer and had surgery, prostate surgery, in Tombstone when he went through all that stuff. The caller did not provide additional details. Caller stated that, his problem was he saw his neighbor two weeks ago. He has not been talking to her a long time because she was over aggressive and pushy. He has tried to treat her kind but she was a drug addict and he was not interested in her or her lifestyle. He does her favors an cuts her grass. He was not interested in more than the process of doing this. Stated that, he had not talked to her in a long time and she stabbed him coming into the back of the house. She was stressed out and he thought she had a problem. He listened to this between him and her and at one point she got four or five feet from him and it was hot, like 90 something degrees. He was talking to her and he came back to her gate and then he started feeling woozy but maybe it was his head and heat. He could hardly get into the house. Since then, he was concerned about her because she said she had the virus and she worked at the hospital and she had the virus for 3 months and that was scary. The caller stated that, he always has headaches, he has always had them and that has nothing to do with this. The second shot gave him different types of things. Like, he had already had headaches so he could not say that was on the shot. Exposed to Covid-19 after having vaccine. Sometimes, he felt things in his workouts, in his legs and feet, sometimes his back. The caller did not clarified and stated that, he could not make a distinction between the workout and this particular thing. He workouts with 115 to 120 pounds every day and for a period of time it has happened over night. He has always done it, he started when 20 to 21 when it started. Stated that, he was not to the point he could not do what he had to do. He could walk and do all those things that has gotten better. He got a scratchy thing in his throat about 2 months ago. This occurred a long time after the vaccine. it was not so bad it was bothering him but he could still eat and do what he had to do. Still do normal things like his weights and stuff everyday. Something told him to get checked out and they told him to go back home because they could not believe he was so strong and he could hold 50 pounds. The caller was asked to clarify his question and events. Stated that, there was concern because he thought about what his neighbor said, that was 2 weeks ago he talked to her and he wanted to know what call handler thinks. The last two times he went to the hospital they said he did not have no Covid and sent him back home. Another day, they put him to another doctor. The caller stated that, he talked to call handler's office once before and she did not know the neighbor. He talked to and did checkups with Pfizer because he does not have knowledge and this was all new to him. The caller did not provide additional information. The caller stated that, not to stop and he was covered when he was talking to her. Caller clarified, he means that, he was wearing a mask and ever since he got the shot he was covered and the only time he was around people was the gas station or grocery store. He has no temperature and never did either. The caller was asked to clarify whether his question was regarding that, he had his Pfizer Covid-19 Vaccine and then was exposed to his neighbor who had Covid-19 for three months. The caller stated as yes, he wanted to know what call handler thinks because call handler works there and deals with people like him all day. The caller then stated that, he will tell call handler what - maybe he should call his doctor and if that was better he would call, where he has been there a long time and they can check him because of his athletic things and age. Stated that, he started calling them before Pfizer but it was lunch time. The outcome of the events was unknown.

The patient's child called and stated that "my father is on blood thinner. He has two autoimmune diseases and has a pacemaker. He developed visons problems within a few days after receiving the first dose of Pfizer COVID-19. Now he cannot take care of his dog. He will not be able to take care of himself. His vision has gotten progressively worse, he can barely see. I spoke to the specialist and other doctors, but they have no information. He will be seeing the doctor in 2 weeks only. I reported the side effects online. It was hard to get medical help because not many people are informed about what might go on with the vaccine. To get him diagnosed has been difficult. They can't do an MRI on him because he has a pacemaker. He is also 2 weeks out to see a specialist. In the meantime, he cannot see. His vision is getting worse and worse. His next vaccine is coming up too." The reporter had called and spoke with the director of immunization at the health department. She had also called and talked to VAERS as well. No one could point her to any help. The reporter believed this was probably related to the autoimmune diseases. The patient had no consultation not take the vaccine. The reporter had answered some information on the website while she had been waiting. The rest of the family also had autoimmune issues, and now they were all wondering if it was safe for them to take (the vaccine). The reporter wanted to know if we could provide any recommendations and if her father could get the second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. The clinical outcome of the event was not recovered. The lot number for the vaccine, BNT162B2, was not provided and will be requested during follow up.

He was halfway through lunch he answered his doorbell and he got extremely dizzy. His lips and mouth felt numb and swollen. On 04Feb2021, his blood sugar was down to 50. There was no reason and no explanation for precipitated drop in blood sugar other than the fact that he had the Covid shot. Subsequently he spoke to cousin of his who is physician to heard of someone who had an adverse reaction like low blood sugar and was hospitalized. Nowhere in the side effects warning doesn't say anything about diabetic with low sugar and with low population over 65 it seems to me that would great number of people who have diabetes and low blood sugar problem. In case indeed of indication of adverse effect of covid. The patient advised that a warning should be on leaf. At least people have sugar tablets or some form of counteracting low blood sugar especially since these are 5-7 have driven to and he was just very thankful but he had to get the shot in (city). He was driving from (city) on 95 for 70 miles an hour. He would have got dizzy and headache and low blood sugar reaction while he was in transit. He was thankful that he got home in time for this not be a tragedy. It was reported that no other treatment was taken by the patient other than consuming large amount of orange peels.

Second morning after shot woke up with extremely blurry in right eye that improved slowly as the day went by, but not to previous vision. Same problem the morning after sleep and over the next day. Went to opthamalogist on Monday, Feb 1 who immediately referred to retina specialist, seen Feb 2. Have ongoing treatment for glaucoma, has been stable for years.
