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.

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.

My Gout has been successfully managed by Allopurinal for over 12 years and I have not experienced any significant events during this time.

Losing strength in his right leg; Muscle pain; Joint pain; Muscle spasms in his neck because he has neck pain too; Muscle spasms in his neck because he has neck pain too; His leg kept getting worse; He just cant walk anymore; Leg is swollen; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable consumer (patient) via Pfizer. A 60-year-old male patient received bnt162b2 (BNT162B2), dose 1 via an unspecified route of administration on 17Mar2021 (Batch/Lot Number: ER6208) as single dose at the age of 60-year-old for COVID-19 immunisation. Medical history included disability. The patient's concomitant medications were not reported. The patient experienced losing strength in his right leg in Mar2021, his leg kept getting worse in 2021, he just can not walk anymore in 2021, leg is swollen in 2021, muscle pain in Mar2021 with, joint pain in Mar2021, muscle spasms in his neck because he has neck pain too in 2021. The events losing strength in his right leg, his leg kept getting worse, he just can not walk anymore and leg is swollen were assessed medically significant. The patient underwent lab tests and procedures which included magnetic resonance imaging: leg is swollen in 2021, X-ray: nothing showed up in 2021. Therapeutic measures were taken as a result of losing strength in his right leg, muscle pain, joint pain. The course of events was as follows: Around 21 Mar2021 or 22Mar2021, he had problems with his leg. Patient was experiencing muscle pain and joint pain, losing strength in his right leg. Patient stated that was a problem. Patient had an MRI and X-ray that looked to see what the problem was. Patient received second dose on 14Apr2021. Patient hasn't even seen his prescribing Healthcare Professional yet, until Monday. He hasn't worked in five years, he's been on disability. He wanted to get off disability so he went and got a job. He started the job 28Mar2021 and everyday, his leg kept getting worse. He had to leave the job the other day because he just cant walk anymore, he has to do a lot of walking on the job. He called the doctor and told them something was wrong with his leg, they took an x-ray and nothing showed up. They did an MRI and all it shows was that his leg was swollen, no bones or nothing is broken. He was looking at Pfizer paperwork that a facility gave him and the two of symptoms are on there, so this problem was related to the vaccine. He never hurt his right leg, never had a problem until he got this shot. He was losing all his strength in his right leg, all the pain. They have been giving muscle relaxers and ibuprofen and they did not seem to work or be doing anything. First, he went to the emergency room and they gave him Ibuprofen 600 mg tablets and they gave him Cyclobenzaprine 10mg tablets. They said that he was experiencing muscle spasms in his neck because he has neck pain too. So he made an appointment with his family doctor, which there was no openings and had to see another PA. He did not know the HCP last name, but he/she was a PA in the office and he saw him/her, who requested the x-ray, and he had the x-ray done and saw him/her again and nothing showed up so he/she requested an MRI. He went to the hospital to have that and nothing showed up except his leg was swollen. Now they are going to send him to a bone specialist, but there was no reason to because now he stated he knew what was causing this. Patient took Cyclobenzaprine, 10 mg, three times a day by mouth. He states it did not seem to do nothing. Patient verified it was a prescription from the pharmacy: NDC: 0137517-19674, unsure of LOT, expiry date. The quantity of the first bottle was 15 but he went through that already and he got a new bottle that has 42 in it. This current bottle he has 12 or 13 left. The first bottle was completely gone. Patient took Baclofen 5mg tablets, three times a day: morning, noon, and night. They were not doing anything either, well he did not think they are. Patient provided NDC: 0135391-19674. The first muscle relaxer they gave him, the 10mg one, he took it that day, it knocked him out. Caller states when he saw his doctor, he said he can not take that one while he works, he will take it at night time, so that is why the doctor gave him the other muscle relaxer, Baclofen, to take while he worked during the day. He took one muscle relaxer at night of one kind and the other kind he takes the ones that won't take him out as much. Patient stated that he had to leave his job because he cannot do it, he cannot walk. Patient took Ibuprofen (NDC: 0139246-19674, to use before 22Apr2022) 600mg, by mouth, three times a day. He took one with the muscle relaxers. Patient took verified all medications Cyclobenzaprine; Baclofen; Ibuprofen were prescriptions from the pharmacy. The outcome of muscle pain and joint pain, losing strength in his right leg, his leg kept getting worse, was not recovered of he just can not walk anymore on, leg is swollen, neck pain was unknown. Reporter seriousness for muscle pain and joint pain, losing strength in his right leg and neck pain was unspecified Patient received his second dose of Pfizer Covid 19 Vaccine (LOT: EW0161, unsure if ER or EW) on 14Apr2021. A Product Complaint was filed. No follow-up attempts are needed. No further information is expected.

About 1 week following first Pfizer vaccination, I began having achiness in left leg and thought this was possibly from sitting in a chair without enough cushion. I simply could not get leg comfortable. Over a couple days duration the leg continued to be achy and slightly swollen. On December 23rd at night I awoke due to such discomfort in leg and could not get comfortable enough to go to sleep. I went to ED where I was examined and found to be mildly short of breath and in pain. Ultrasound of leg showed large upper leg DVT. CT of chest showed submassive Pulmonary Horseshoe Embolus. I was placed on Heparin and anticoagulated. Hospitalized for several days while anticoagulated and observed for any clot progression or respiratory distress and discharged home on Xarelto for anticoagulation and follow up with PCP, Hematology, Pulmonary medicine.

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.

A few days after my second Covid vaccination I started experiencing fatigue, dizziness and shortness of breath. I also noticed the calf muscle in my lower right leg began to swell. The swelling continued to get worse and about a week later I noticed a significant amount of petechial hemorrhaging in my lower right leg. I started using an ice-pack in an attempt to reduce the swelling. I also sat/lay with my leg up (horizontal) as much as possible. On 6/28 I visited with my primary care doctor to seek help in addressing the swelling. My doctor sent me for an ultrasound which discovered a deep-vein thrombosis (DVT) and a CT scan which highlighted pulmonary embolisms in my lungs. I was admitted to hospital where I was treated with blood thinners; Note: I had my first shot on 4/13/21 and also experienced fatigue, dizziness and shortness of breath, but did not experience any swelling. As a result of feeling unwell I delayed getting my second shot.

left side will blur; Left side of face was sagging/ water leaking out of mouth/Progressive weakness on left side of face/ Swelling on lower left mandible/ diagnosed with Bell's Palsy.; Eye tearing; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable nurse who reported for himself. A 61-year-old male patient received BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE; Batch/lot number: EK5780) in left arm on 26Dec2020 at 08:30 at single dose for covid-19 immunisation (worked in surgical ICU and was over 61 years old). Medical history included Pre-diabetic. Family history included: mother died; mother's side had colon cancer and grandparents and uncles had cardiovascular diseases.Concomitant medication included exenatide (BYDUREON), amlodipine besilate (NORVASC), omeprazole (PROTONIX), hydrochlorothiazide, lisinopril and pneumococcal vaccine on 08Dec2020 and tetanus vaccine on 08Dec2020. It was reported that on 31Dec2020 at 07:30, the patient had eye tearing and water leaking out of mouth, left side of face was sagging, swelling on lower left mandible (eye tearing was first, as reported); on 31Dec2020 he also experienced progressive weakness on left side of face; on 02Jan2021 the patient was diagnosed with Bell's Palsy. 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. Because he was taking prednisone, noticed his sugar was up a little bit (date unspecified). It was prescribed Glitizide extended release, 2.5mg one tablet twice a day with breakfast. 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. Patient had an appointment with a neurologist on 13Jan2021. Patient was still having symptoms. It was really hard for him. Not hard to swallow. Face was still drooping. Eyes were still tearing. 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.

He put some ice on it which did not help the swelling. It bothers him when his T-shirt touches the area, so he tried to wear a regular shirt. He also had achy pain in his back, weakness in his arms, sore throat and a little cough, no fever. The armpit still hurts and is still swollen. Other than the ice he did not take anything else as he takes a lot of medications as it is. He has not called his doctor because it happened over the weekend, but is going to call her today. He did have a COVID test yesterday drive through facility at the community hospital as he has a surgery coming up, and they were going to call him if it was positive.

About two weeks after the 1st shot I noticed my facial skin was very itchy. This was a constant thing. Two days after I had the shot shot my face swoll up and was very itchy. I was waking up in the middle of the night several times a night because of the itches and I was going my best no to scratch. i rubbed moisturizer in to my face and later started using some over the counter itching creams that would work for a few hours. I began to realize the itching was worse in places where I had five years ago had Bellafill infected into acne scars and deep wrinkles by a licensed cosmetic surgeon. I like the results and have no issue with the doctor or filler, but this stuff itched terribly. I see on the internet some complaints from others, but I wanted to report that I too have this. As of today, weeks later, it is not as bad, but as I write this I want to itch a place above my right cheek bone that was injected with Bellafill. I thought it was a problem with the Bellafill, I am convinced now it is a side effect of the vaccine. Guess this means it is working to adopt to odd things in my body.

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

Extreme flare up of gout. The worst gout I ever experienced. I can be prone to gout so am familiar with the issue. This began immediately the following morning after the first dose and is still a problem now 3 weeks later. My entire foot, ankle and lower calf were completely swollen and the foot turned blue. Finally now 3 weeks later the swelling has reduced to the big toe but I am still limping. I was schedule for the second dose yesterday and we cancelled. I am very concerned about taking the second dose, especially since we have a wedding trip planned in early June. I can not suffer with this again during that trip and not sure if a 10% increase in immunity from Covid is worth the risk of another major gout flare up like that. Naturally I am concerned about permanent joint damage also.

First: April 25~27: Sore Arm, similar to a bruised muscle. Second: April 27 my right forehead just below the hairline and in the right ear area where the top of the ear meets the head, had minor itching and were turning red. On April 28. Hives began on my left arm's lower wrist and in the general area of my right leg's knee. The hives became more numerous in these areas until a general red rash condition was appearing between them as well. By Saturday Morning May 1 the knee and wrist areas were noticeably red like a rash and hives were also appearing with itching below the right knee on the upper half of my shin, above this knee, on my right lower wrist and on my left lower fore arm. My right ear was starting to swell at just the top. I tried putting Gold Bond Medicated Powder on these areas, but it didn't reduce the itching much. Sunday May 2, I called my mom who is a Registered Nurse about this. She advised going to my health care provider to substantiate these symptoms. Monday May 3 I visited my health care provider's office after work and got an appointment for Tuesday at 10:15 from a cancellation. One of their RN's looked at my hives and rashes. New hives had now also formed on my left leg just below the knee on the back side. It was a red string of itching a couple inches long. I called my boss Tuesday so I could take the day off for the appointment and he agreed that I should do this. At the doctor's office, PA-C after extensive questioning and examination said he thought this was an allergic reaction possibly related to the polyethylene content of the vaccination. He further advised that I not get the second shot until I was checked by an allergist. He put in a referral for this. I think I picked up cold-like symptoms (sore throat and cough) from the doctor's office that were minor. Wednesday morning I had much worse symptoms. I was weak, groggy, couldn't think without great effort, was more itchy, and my right knee was starting to ooze. I called my boss at work to take the day off since I was quite sure driving would be risky, and that I would have to leave work early for lack of energy. My right front thigh had a new area of hives along with my right and left fore arms. I started treating all my affected areas with Caladryl topical Analgesic and taking generic Benedryl. I had breakfast and then slept until 2:30 PM, had lunch and slept until evening. By then my forehead and right ear areas had reduced in severity. I had lost (2) days of work. The rest of the week, all my symptoms diminished. As of this writing Sunday May 9, my knee is still tender, sore, and red, and left wrist hives are still pronounced.

Within 24 hours, my right foot swelled, especially the middle of the sole, but also the toes and top of the foot. After a two-week delay due to a misdiagnosis by my PCP, I was seen at an urgent care center. An ultrasound of the right leg discovered a blood clot. I was placed on Eliquis 10 mg twice a day for the next 7 days followed by 5 mg twice a day. After 7 days, the swelling was reduced by 90%. The swelling has remained at that level since then. I changed my PCP on May 21 and was cleared for most activities. She advised me to continues with the Eliquis for three months from May 3, with no need for further testing.

Medical history included atrial fibrillation, diabetes, coronary artery disease (CAD), heart failure with reduced ejection fraction all from an unknown date (HFrEF). Concomitant medication included apixaban (ELIQUIS) taken for an unspecified indication, start and stop date were not reported. It was unknown if the patient received any other vaccines within 4 weeks prior to the COVID-19 vaccine. It was unknown if the patient diagnosed with COVID-19 prior to vaccination.

getting suicidal thoughts; lymph nodes have large balls like an egg on his neck; really incapacitated/ He can't move; joints are swollen; freezing and is hot and cold all night; voice didn't sound like normally./ sounds like he smokes four packs a day; This is a spontaneous report received from a contactable consumer. A 64-year-old male patient received first dose of BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE) via unspecified route in arm single dose for COVID-19 immunization on unknown date at 64-year-old. The patient medical history included paranoia. He was an easily over sensitive dude. The patient's concomitant medications were not reported. The patient was really incapacitated. His joints were swollen. He couldn't move. He was freezing and was hot and cold all night. Tuesday it was hot and he was outside on the deck in a hoodie and was freezing. His voice didn't sound like he normally did. It sounded like he smoked four packs a day. His lymph nodes had large balls like an egg on his neck. He won't go to the doctor or emergency room and he was scared. The patient wanted to commit suicide, just said that four days ago. It was not an emergency at this time. The patient was getting suicidal thoughts, but that was part of his paranoia anyway. He felt like he was being used as a test victim. His mind went nuts because he was paranoid, it was before he received the vaccine. Maybe the patient would take enough time to breathe and have logic to seep into his brain. All symptoms started immediately and were all ongoing. The reporter confirmed that by symptoms he was referring to 'his friend's joints being swollen', 'freezing, hot and cold all night', 'sounded like he smokes four packs a day', 'lymph nodes were large balls like an egg on his neck'. Outcome of the events getting suicidal thoughts and really incapacitated/ can't move was unknown, outcome of the other events was not resolved.

A 64-year-old male patient received bnt162b2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, solution for injection, Batch/lot number: ER8729 and Expire Date: unknown) via unspecified route of administration, in left (upper) arm on 07Apr2021 13:45 in the afternoon (age at vaccination: 64 years) as DOSE 2, SINGLE for Covid-19 immunisation. Patient's medical history included diabetes and immune system disorder (immune system is not the same) from an unspecified date and unknown if ongoing. Since he was diabetic so he was skeptical to get the vaccine because he knew his immune system is not the same as most people. Concomitant medications were none. Patient previously received first dose of vaccine (Lot no: ER2613, expiry date: unknow) via unspecified route of administration, in left (upper) arm on 17Mar2021, as single dose for Covid-19 Immunisation. There were no other vaccinations taken within four weeks prior to the first administration date of the suspect vaccine. After second dose, on 08Apr2021 the patient reported he had swollen glands under his arm and neck. It was reported that when it first started swelling, it wasn't extremely painful but the glands were very uncomfortable under his left arm and then after a few days it got better but then on the 5th or 6th day all the glands got swollen. He confirmed that was still ongoing, it had pretty much been persisting the same since that 6th day after the shot. He said it had been almost 10 weeks. He went to his GP and they took one look and did a blood test and a urine test and it was all normal and because this was such a new thing no one knows what to do. Since the blood test and urine test was negative the patient was sent to the ENT and he looked at his under arm and neck and said come back in a month if he still has it, this is why he was calling because no doctor knows what to do with it. The patient underwent lab test on 30Apr2021 which included CNC, CMP and urine test, results of which were negative. The sample was collected on 30Apr2021 the report was given on 01May2021. The adverse event resulted in visit of physician's office. Patient believed that his other 2 sisters got the Pfizer shot, and they had no reactions and they also have immune compromised systems. The outcome of the events was not recovered.

Patient primary care physician and specialist have given tramadol for the pain. He had a headache and stiff neck really for no apparent reason and they continued. Then he noticed out of his peripheral vision was bad, his vision was bad. 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. 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 are fine, not tumor, he just had migraines and he never had migraines before. He saw a neurologist for the migraines 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 quiet down with the migraines and the visual distortion and he still had them. Was then given a drug to take to help when they flared up, for break through migraines. It was Ubrelby 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 Ubrelby NDC , lot number 1843724 and expiry of Jul2022. He started this in Apr or in May after his first visit with neurologist, (withheld). During the same time, he had the migraines he 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. They went away and stopped. He then started to have back stuff, pains that started in Mar or Apr. 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. Then his lower back got so painful he could hardly walk and so he went to an orthopedist thinking it could be a pinched nerve. They did x-rays but could not see anything that caused this kind of pain. They didn't give him anything, but in 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. It was the kind that hurt 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 May 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; it was like getting a shot in his arm. Again, he no longer has these. No problems with vaccines in 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 2 1/2 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. Extending from the tip of his fingers all the way up to the shoulders, in his left arm especially causes the wrist to hurt. 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. Was given Tramadol for that pain. Unable to provide NDC, Lot, or expiry from orange pharmacy 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. cardiologist asked about testing done with the primary care provider. Had ANA testing done with primary care and that test came back with no arthritis in the hands on unknown date. Mentions he had a heart attack at age 38 before he had Covid vaccine, since he is 64 now. He has not had 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. Still having feet and hands swelling. He had a heart attack in the past or how it will affect his muscles in his heart because he does not want to find out later that it had affected his heart, and nobody knew. Had MRI of the brain, blood vessels and nerves ordered by his Neurologist as well. The outcome of events was recovered

I have a history of Anaphylaxis, I carried episode pens for years. I forgot my episode pens that evening but I carried my own benadryl. I stopped the reaction by drinking liquid Benadryl. I was later transported to the ER via ambulance for monitoring and also for being groggy to the Benadryl.

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. He had a heart attack in the past or how it will affect his muscles in his heart because he does not want to find out later that it had affected his heart, and nobody knew. The patient also had an magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain, blood vessels and nerves ordered by his Neurologist as well. The outcome of peripheral vision bad, his vision was bad; visual distortion was recovered in Mar2021; pains in upper thighs was recovered in May2021; lower back got so painful so that he could hardly walk was recovering; felt like bubbles in muscles like they pop was unknown while the other events was not recovered.

myocardial infarction; Fluid; Shortness of breath; Chest pain; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable nurse (patient's wife). A 64-year-old male patient received the second dose of BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, Lot Number: EW0180), via an unspecified route of administration, administered in left arm on 11Jun2021 10:00 (64-year-old at time of vaccination) as single dose for COVID-19 immunization. The patient's medical history included diagnosed allergies, compromised immune status, respiratory illness, genetic/chromosomal abnormalities, endocrine abnormalities (including diabetes) and obesity. There was no family medical history relevant to adverse event. There were no concomitant medications. The patient previously received the first dose of BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, Lot Number: EW0186), via an unspecified route of administration, administered in left arm on 21May2021 (64-year-old at time of vaccination) for COVID-19 immunization. There were no vaccines administered on same date with the Pfizer vaccine considered as suspect. There were no other vaccinations within four weeks prior to the first administration date of the suspect vaccine. The patient experienced chest pain on 17Jun2021, fluid and shortness of breath on 25Jun2021, and myocardial infarction on an unspecified date. Patient's wife (a registered nurse, recently retired) just wanted to report this. She can't say that it is the vaccine or anything. Her husband received the second COVID-19 Vaccine on 11Jun2021 and he died at the emergency room 2 weeks later of a cardiac event. She couldn't do the report online because it was making her the one she was reporting on. Chest pain: She took him to the emergency room on 25Jun2021. He had been having chest pain that he reported to her that Monday before. He told her that it actually started the Thursday before on 17Jun2021. He had some chest pain that felt a little better over the weekend, then Monday it was worse. He wasn't a complainer, but he was obviously having chest pain. He was very stubborn and so he just kind of let it progress and it got worse during the week. He wouldn't go to the doctor. She kept telling him she read about myocarditis mostly with adolescent males. She thought what if it is something like that. Time of Onset of Chest pain: He reported it on Monday that he had chest pain on Thursday. She became aware when he woke up at 06:30 on 21Jun2021 and she knew something was wrong when he went for the Ibuprofen. Fluid and shortness of breath: The day she took him to the emergency room the chest pain had worsened and he had fluid and shortness of breath. The fluid and shortness of breath started on 25Jun2021. Death: He died on 25Jun2021. The cause of death was a myocardial infarction. They didn't do an autopsy. The reason they gave for not being able to do an autopsy was they were overwhelmed with drug overdoses and homicides. Indication for COVID-19 Vaccine: He didn't want it, but he needed to go back to the office and didn't want to wear a mask. Adverse events required a visit to emergency room. Investigations: She doesn't have his medical records yet. Essentially they were recording him. She can't believe she got him in in a wheelchair. Immediately they were doing resuscitation efforts. Relevant Tests was reported as none. The outcome of myocardial infarction was fatal; outcome of other events was unknown. The patient died on 25Jun2021. No autopsy was performed. The cause of death was a myocardial infarction. Causality: the reporting nurse has no opinion. She just thinks that the patient didn't randomly die any of his other 64 years. It may be a coincidence.; Sender's Comments: The event myocardial infarction with fatal outcome is considered unrelated to suspect product (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, Lot Number: EW0180). The compromised immune status, respiratory illness, genetic/chromosomal abnormalities, endocrine abnormalities (including diabetes) and obesity may explain as alternative cause.; Reported Cause(s) of Death: Myocardial infarction

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.

I had gotten the vein ablation treatment several years ago for varicose veins, and the problems I had went away, but one week after the first shot, my calf muscle was swollen and felt sore and aching, and the rest of the leg was in pain, just like it was before getting the vein operation. The varicose veins returned and my leg now has prominent black and blue areas on it, like it had before my surgery. I'm returning to the vein clinic in two weeks for them to look at it. My leg still hurts. I should also add that my arm is still sore where they gave me the shot. My strength has not yet fully returned, even though I work out in the gym regularly.

Received second COVID 19 vaccine in left arm on 03-08-2021. Woke up on 03-09-21 with pain under my left arm pit. Looked at my arm pit in the mirror. My lymph node was swollen approximately the size of a tennis ball and hanging down approximately 4" under my left arm pit. I tucked the lymph node back under my arm and squeezed my arm against my side for approximately 1 hour. The lymph node no longer hung under my arm pit. I then used ice pack and a heating pad to for the next 5 days aid in reducing the swelling. As of this date (04-02-2021) the lymph node is still slightly swollen approximately 1" to about 1 1/2". A little tender when pushing on it, but not painful. This was the only side effect I had after receiving both Pfizer Covid 19 vaccinations.

Only slight injection site pain for first shot. With the 2nd shot, I had pain at injection site that radiated into my shoulder 8-15 hours after initial injection. Noticed swollen lymph glands in armpit of vaccinated arm after 24 hrs. All these particular symptoms disappeared after 36-48 hrs. 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 administered an EKG, had blood serum tests and a CT scan - all of which were normal and or showing no signs of 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.

On the right side of the body, there was a 3 inch strip of hives/rash from arm pit and collar bone area to waist, hip and pelvic area. I did take Benadryl. On 3/21/2021 at 10am, the rash increased from neck to groin, legs and arms and sprinkled on the back and across the shoulder to buttocks. I continued to take Benadryl. The hives had also spread to my face. My eyelids and cheeks were swollen. I had a fever of 101.3. I did take Tylenol for the fever. On 3/22/2021 the hives on the chest greatly improved but the hives on the back and face had worsen. I could barely open my left eye and my face was swollen. Around midnight 3/23/2021 I decided to go to the ER since my face, mouth and hands begin to swell. At the ER, the doctors said I had an allergic reaction to the vaccine and was given Prednisone and Tylenol and was discharged with a prescription for prednisone to continue. I took the prednisone and everything seem to improve. It took about 3 day for the body rash to go away. On 3/26/2021 a chicken pox like patch appeared on my face to the right of my chin. The rash looked like raised pustules. I went to the doctor on 3/27/2021 and was diagnosed with herpes and I was prescribed Valtrex. It took about a week for the herpes to go away. I have photographs of the rash if needed for more documentation.

There was no issue from the vaccination itself; sore arm, a bit tired and achy the next day only. I was stung multiple times by hornets yesterday, and the reaction to the stings was much more severe that what I have experienced in the past. My wife has also experienced the same thing with stings she has received since getting our second shot. basically swelling, redness in ~2" radius from the sting location, itchy as heck. Typically I would have ~0.3-0.5" redness radius. Took Benadryl (25mg) no other issues other than the reaction to this still is much worse than in the past, and i was wondering about the vaccine (pfizer) possibly influencing this and figured i'd report my experience.

A 66-years-old male patient received first dose of BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 mRNA VACCINE, Formulation: Solution for Injection, Batch/Lot number: EW0169) via an unspecified route of administration, administered in Arm on 14Apr2021 around 15:00 to 15:30 as dose 1, single for covid-19 immunisation. The patient's medical history included atrial fibrillation, patient was diagnosed years ago, before his stroke in 2015, a long time ago, cardiac failure congestive, aortic valve disease, cerebrovascular accident, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, last year patient had a blood infection, so he had to take four antibiotics. The patient's concomitant medications included rivaroxaban (XARELTO) taken for atrial fibrillation. It was reported that patient received the first dose of the vaccine in mid-April and got sick 2 days later(18Apr2021). Patient had a fever of 104. Caller took him to the doctor and patient was diagnosed sepsis. Patient was in the hospital and was then tested for and diagnosed with Endocarditis due to the sepsis. Patient was currently in a rehab facility and was weak. The rehab facility wanted to give patient the second dose of the covid vaccine. But the rehab facility was not sure if they will get the Pfizer covid vaccine. Reporter was worried about patient getting a second dose of anything. This was not the first-time patient has had endocarditis. Patient has been diagnosed with it before. Patient has a history of congestive heart failure, a bad aortic value, past stroke, and diabetes. They do not know if patient still had endocarditis, but patient has completed the antibiotics. They are unable to test patient again for endocarditis because he is in such bad shape. Patient had one side that was weak, and then he fell and broke his hip. Patient was not a candidate for open heart surgery because of his enlarged heart. Before patient received the first dose of the covid vaccine, patient was sleeping all the time and reporter thought it was due to the sepsis. The doctor told reporter that the sepsis was there before patient got the first dose of the covid vaccine. Patient has A-Fib and takes Eliquis. It was reported that patient had a stroke while he was in the hospital. Patient fell because of the weakness from his stroke. The second fall put him back in the hospital. Patient was in poor shape; his blood sugar was in the 600s. Before patient went to the hospital, he was sleeping all of the time, and he lost his appetite. They did not know if patient still has endocarditis because he could not have the follow up procedure done because he was in bad shape. Patient had weakness and fell and broke his hip. Patient was currently in rehab for physical therapy. Reporter clarifies that she took patient to the emergency room, and then he was admitted to the hospital. Patient's fever did not start out at 100 degrees, it gradually went up to 104 degrees. By the second or third day, patient's fever got up to 104 degrees. Reporter is back to square one for help. Reporter is asking if there is anyone who would know what to do. Patient's cardiologist said for patient to get the second dose of the covid vaccine. Reporter knows that no one had that in the clinical trial. Before the covid vaccine, patient was having a crown done in his mouth. Last year patient had a blood infection, so he had to take four antibiotics. Reporter thinks they were called amoxicillin, and they were 500mg each. Patient had to take them all at once as a preventive. Patient is on a lot of things, that reporter does not even know. Patient has had a lot of things done to his heart. Patient has had to have ablations. Patient has a very bad heart. Patient has a question about herself. She had the covid vaccine and had no reactions. She is on Celebrex 200mg. Reporter stopped taking a day and a half before the covid vaccine. Reporter is asking if she could have messed herself up by taking an anti-inflammatory, and if taking Celebrex could have prevented her from getting the full effect. Prior to taking Covid vaccine her husband has had Endocarditis, congestive heart failure, bad heart valve and a stroke. 1st dose of vaccine mid-April. 2 days later had a fever of 104 and was admitted to the hospital with sepsis. The sepsis caused endocarditis again. Husband is in rehab facility, and they want him to take a second dose. Should he be getting 2nd dose of Pfizer or a different Covid vaccine. Wife wondering if husband should get 2nd dose at all. Reporter does not think that this has anything to do with the covid vaccine, since they know which bacteria caused it. Reporter thinks that maybe patient getting the first dose of the covid vaccine put patient over the edge. This is the second time that patient has had vegetation, the first time was last year. Reporter thinks that all of patient's doctors are panicking over the covid vaccine. Reporter knows that patient is in bad shape. In the clinical trial, there was nothing in there about congestive heart failure, or nothing about endocarditis. Patient may still have endocarditis. Reporter does not know what will happen to patient if he gets the second dose of the covid vaccine. Reporter states that unfortunately patient does not go to the best cardiologist. Reporter thinks that patient is so bad off, that he could be on palliative care. The only reason reporter waited so long to call Pfizer is because patient is in rehab now, and they might be getting in the Pfizer covid vaccine. They asked reporter if she wanted patient to get the second dose of the Pfizer covid vaccine. They should get them in on 16Jul2021. Reporter said yes, about a week ago, but it has been on her mind to call and ask the source. Reporter took patient to the hospital, and the doctors diagnosed him with sepsis: Patient was not willing to go to the hospital at first. Patient could not get out of bed. Patient was not eating or drinking. Reporter was trying to give him stuff. Reporter is not a scientist. An infectious disease doctor told reporter that patient already had sepsis before the covid vaccine. Patient was in terrible shape. Patient had a stroke while he was in the hospital. They figured out he had a stroke about five days after being in the hospital. After the stroke, patient had two weeks of physical therapy there. Dates of Hospitalization: He was in the hospital for a few weeks. Patient was home for two days he fell because of the weakness from his stroke. The second fall put him back in the hospital. Patient had to get a partial hip replacement. For about a week now, patient has been in rehab. Patient has A-Fib, since the stroke, he is not on Eliquis. Patient was not on Eliquis before. Patient also has hypertension, but it is under control. Therapeutic measures were taken as a result of endocarditis and fell and broke his hip. The outcome of the events was unknown.

I received the pfizer vaccine on 12/19/20 and 1/9/21. I am a physician. My only immediate reaction was some pain at the site of injection which subsided within a day. About 2 months after the vaccine I began to notice severe itching which did not respond to local steroid creams or antihistamines. At about 3 months post vaccine the pruritis became intolerable and I saw a dermatologist and later an allergist. By that time I was starting to develop bullous lesions and I was started on prednisone, which relieved the symptoms but every time I tried to come off the prednisone the itching would recur. I had a punch biopsy which diagnosed "epidermolysis bullosa acquisita. Currently I am taking prednisone 20 mg/d and dapsone 50 mg 2x per day with good results. I never had an autoimmune disease before and thing that the vaccine may heave triggered this reaction. I have had multiple vaccines in the past, including yearly flu vaccine without incident, but this was the first rna based vaccine for me, obviously.

About 3 weeks later he woke up in the morning, his arm was swollen from the elbow down to his fingers, so swollen that he was not able to make a fist which took a week to 10 days to go back down to normal He went to the doctor and they sent him for x-rays of the elbow, which showed arthritis and nothing else. they took his BP on both sides to see if there was a difference, there was a 15 point difference in that. His doctor decided to do an US to see why there was a difference in that pressure. The US was a week later showed that he had a blockage underneath his right collarbone, narrowing with no plaque. He has had surgery on his carotid artery 6 years ago, so they sent a report to his vascular doctor. Talking with him they blockage is 50% to 99% and he asked his staff that he has had CAT scans prior to that due to the carotid surgery and they felt that they had prior CAT scans that showed no blockage. The vascular surgeon is going to watch it for now as it shows no plaque in the artery and is not sure if it is due to the vaccine or not. They told him to call us and file the report. He is having light headedness daily, which he did not have prior to the vaccine.

Pancreatitis in tail of pancreas; fever (101.2F) for four days; left side abdominal pain; diverticulitis; headache; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable physician reporting on behalf of patient. A 66-year-old male patient received BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE) via an unspecified route of administration on 08Apr2021 (Batch/Lot Number: EP7533) as 1st dose single for covid-19 immunisation. Medical history included ongoing high cholesterol which was diagnosed decades ago at least, kidney stone. Concomitant medication included simvastatin (strength: 20mg) from 2011 and ongoing. No additional vaccines administered on same date of the Pfizer suspect. The reporting physician is the patient's primary care physician. The patient came to the physician's office on 16Apr2021 for the fever, left sided abdominal pain, and headache which had been going on for 4 days in Apr2021. Physician reported that the patient thought his left-sided abdominal pain was caused by a kidney stone. Because of the high fever of 101.2 and the persistence of 4 days of fever, the patient was admitted to the hospital. Patient had an elevated white blood cell count of 13000. The patient had a very high D-dimer test which kept rising. The patient's C-Reactive Protein was very high. white blood cell count was 12.6 on admission and went to 6.8 after IV antibiotics were administered. The patient's fever resolved within 24 hours of starting IV antibiotics and fluids. When queried for seriousness criteria, physician reported that the patient's headache was just nagging. Physician reported that he doesn't have the patient's chart, but he is guessing that the patient's headache resolved within 3 days of admission to hospital. Regarding pancreatitis in tail of pancreas, physician reported that there was a possibility that the patient's abdominal pain was diverticulitis, it was unclear if the inflammation was from diverticulitis or the pancreas. Physician reported that the patient had a GI consult. Physician reported that the GI provider did an MRI on the patient's abdomen and the final word was pancreatitis. Physician reported that since the patient was hospitalized, all of the inflammatory markers, D-dimer, sed rate, CRP, have come down. Physician stated something happened. The patient has no risk factors for pancreatitis. He doesn't drink, isn't on any medications that would cause pancreatitis, doesn't have high triglycerides, and doesn't have gallstones; the Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine was the only variable. Physician is thinking that the whole inflammatory process was part of a reaction to the Covid-19 vaccine. Patient is clinically recovered, he was hospitalized from 16Apr2021 to 22Apr2021. Physician reported that the patient hasn't been checked radiologically but the physician is hoping to repeat the patient's MRI in a couple of weeks. He eventually got better and went home. He is now wondering if he should get the second dose of the Covid-19 vaccine. Physician is a little hesitant to tell the patient whether or not the patient should get the second dose of the Covid-19 vaccine. Physician does not know if the patient's adverse events were related to the Covid-19 vaccine and stated that risking another pancreatitis episode is a big deal. The patient's lipase never went up unless it was high 4 days before admission. Physician reported that the patient didn't seek attention then. Patient underwent lab tests and procedures which included D-dimer: 416ng/mL (16Apr2021), 959 ng/mL (18Apr2021), 933 ng/mL (19Apr2021), 818 ng/mL (20Apr2021), 842 ng/mL (21Apr2021), 686 ng/mL (22Apr2021); White blood cell count: 12600 (16Apr2021), 6800 (22Apr2021); C-reactive Protein: 148 ng/mL (16Apr2021), 109 ng/mL (18Apr2021), 84 ng/mL (20Apr2021), 73 ng/mL (21Apr2021), 51 ng/mL (22Apr2021), less than 1 ng/mL (12May2021); CT abdomen (16Apr2021): Inflammation in tail of pancreas; Covid-19 test: negative on 16Apr2021 and 18Apr2021; Erythrocyte sedimentation rate: 68 mm/hour (19Apr2021), 20 mm/hour (12May2021); Blood cultures: negative on 16Apr2021; Alk phos: 123 IU/L (26Apr2021), 85 IU/L (12May2021); ALT: 46 IU/L (26Apr2021), 40 IU/L (12May2021); GGT (Normal range: Up to 65 IU/L): 92 IU/L (30Apr2021), 59 IU/L (12May2021); CT angiogram chest, abdomen, pelvis on Apr2021 and revealed negative, no thrombotic event (Apr2021). MRI Abdomen: Pancreatitis localized to tail of pancreas (Apr2021); CT head was Negative (Apr2021). Outcome of diverticulitis was unknown, outcome of other events was recovered in Apr2021. The reporting physician assessed fever as serious with seriousness criteria hospitalization, left sided abdominal pain is serious with seriousness criteria medically significant and pancreatitis is serious with seriousness criteria medically significant, disabling. Physician reported that the Covid-19 vaccine potentially yes caused the patient's abdominal pain, but he did not know if the headache and pancreatitis were related or not to the Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine. Physician reported that in the absence of anything else, he is suspecting that the patient's headache and pancreatitis were caused by the Covid-19 vaccine. No follow-up attempts are needed. No further information is expected.; Sender's Comments: Based on the information currently available, a contributory role of BNT162B2 to reported events cannot be fully excluded. Case will be reassessed if additional information becomes available. The impact of this report on the benefit/risk profile of the Pfizer product is evaluated as part of Pfizer procedures for safety evaluation, including the review and analysis of aggregate data for adverse events. Any safety concern identified as part of this review, as well as any appropriate action in response, will be promptly notified to regulatory authorities, Ethics Committees, and Investigators, as appropriate.

My husband has had a fever and extreme exhaustion every day, all day. for 16 days, since he go the Pfizer vaccine. He is retaining water, does not sleep at night, has heavy night sweats, and is emotionally spent. He has no appetite and forces himself to eat. He tastes what little food he eats. He visited his family doctor, a gastroenterologist, and has been in the emergency room two times for sheer exhaustion and pain. He was released both times after tests. Each time, no one could find a cause and no one sent him to other doctors for help. They would not admit him because there was no guarantee he could see other doctors any faster than if he were at home making appointments. He was referred to an infectious disease specialist by the gastroenterologist, but that appointment isn't until March 9, 2021. He will have faded even more by then.

Two days after vaccination had swelling in both wrists and both hands and fingers. Seeming arthritic condition. Never had any type of arthritis or swelling of hands or wrists. Slight pain in hands and inability to grip or hold items. First took acemetacin for several days with no relief. then tried normal aspirin for several days. After two weeks someone suggested taking ibuprofen. I took 200mg per day and found slight relief. Contacted my PCP on 2/28/2021 to request a video visit that occurred on 3/3/2021 at 8:00 am. Doctor agreed that swelling and arthritic condition was the result of vaccination and advised to take 600 mg of ibuprofen every 8 hours for a week. Have had some relief from this medication.

The patient states that he had a bilateral hand /forearm dermatitis that was getting better when he received his first dose of Pfizer vaccine. Thereafter in about 24 hours the dermatitis erupted again and he developed hand swelling, redness and itching. he consulted his physician and was given oral prednisone at 50mg /d for 7 days which calmed the dermatitis. We reviewed the possibility of his rash erupting again after he receives dose 32--for which he is here today--and the possibility that the previous corticosteroids that he was given might inhibit a full immune response from the vaccine. He opts to receive the second dose today anyway and it is administered. This is to report the worsening of the dermatitis after the first dose was given. He still had remnants of a dermatitis (wrinkled skin, etc)

swollen lymph node in the neck; swollen face and throat; swollen face and throat; arm pain; throat irritation; tightness around the top of his head; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable consumer. This contactable consumer (patient) reported himself that a 67-year-old male patient received first dose of bnt162b2 (Pfizer-Biontech COVID-19 Vaccine, solution for injection, batch/lot number: EN6201), via an unspecified route of administration on 19Feb2021 14:00 on left arm as single dose for COVID-19 immunisation. The patient's medical history included narcolepsy and blood pressure high. Patient's medical history (including any illness at time of vaccination) was none. He got the flu vaccine in Nov1994, and 2 weeks later he got the flu, and it was the worst he has ever had. Concomitant medications were not reported. The patient received second dose of bnt162b2 (Pfizer-Biontech COVID-19 Vaccine, solution for injection, batch/lot number: EP6955) via an unspecified route of administration on 15Mar2021 at 11:30 on left arm as single dose for COVID-19 immunisation. On 07Mar2021, about a week ago, he was outside on his deck and his face was in direct sunlight, and his face started to swell up and was tightening on one side. Where his face was covered nothing happened, but the side of his face that was in the direct sunlight started to swell up and tightened. Stated that his face felt heavy around his lips where it was in the sun. He went inside, and his wife told him he was having an allergic reaction to something and to take Benadryl. He took the Benadryl and splashed ice-cold water on his face, and the swelling went down. On 14Mar2021, that Sunday, he noticed a lymph node on his shoulder by his neck on the same side where he got his vaccine, at the 5th level according to the research he did. States that it's rubbery and movable so he didn't know what it was, but it seemed to be getting larger until yesterday. On 19Feb2021, there was no pain, but he did notice a little swelling around his throat. He has a doctor's appointment on Tuesday to see his primary care doctor. Clarified that his face swelled up and tightened on 07Mar2021. He has not gone back out in direct sunlight since this happened. He only had the face swelling and tightening for that day. Once he went inside and took Benadryl and put ice on his face it went down. Clarified that he noticed the lymph node on 14Mar2021, and it was now persisting. When asked when he first noticed the swelling around his throat, he stated that he has had throat irritation and tightness around the top of his head since the day of the 1st dose which was 19 Feb 2021 at 2PM. He also had arm pain that also started that same day, and went down his arm to the wrist, and up his shoulder to his neck, but the pain only lasted 1.5 days. On the side where the lymph node was, there was some pain in his upper throat when he touches it; when they measure the muscles in the neck, it was that 1st level where the pain was; but the pain was only on the left side. There were none other relevant diagnostic and confirmatory test results for events. The outcome of the event swollen lymph node in the neck was not recovered; swollen face and throat and throat irritation was recovered while outcome of the remaining event was unknown.

I had surgery on my back in July 2020. After receiving the vaccine in March of 2021, my scar started itching about 2 months after . Eventually the itchiness spread to my arms, back, legs, belly and especially my back. A bubble appeared in the palms of my hands. If it was touched, it was itchy. It then spread to my fingers. The more I rubbed them together to receive the itching, the worse it got. I went to the doctor who at first thought it was psoriasis. She then determined it might be eczema. I went home and then it got worse. I went back and the doctor prescribed triamcinolone 0.5%. I put this on the bubbles on my hands and fingers. It relieved the itching but it has dried my skin and it is now peeling. It is like when your hand is in water for a long time. Even though the itching was relieved, there is still itching present. The doctor told me to use the triamcinolone for 10 days and after the 10 days, just use as needed. The triamcinolone has overall helped. Heat makes the itching worse.

He also stated that used to be 6'6", but as he gets older, he has shrunk. He did not provide his height now and he shrunk before he got the vaccine and mentioned that over time everyone gets shorter as disc gets compressed. He also stated that he was on an antibiotic for a sty on left eyelid for 5 days and he took first one Monday and Tuesday and got COVID shot on Wednesday and then a couple of days after, maybe a day or two or three, his face did not hurt, but when he went to floss his teeth, when he put fingers in mouth on left side, the side of face hurt a little bit. A couple of days later, it moved into his lips and he did not have a lot or expiration for the azithromycin as it was in a pharmacy vial and they told him to come back in 4 weeks, which would be this Wednesday. He called drug store on 02 Apr 2021 and they said to call physician and he called them on Friday and got a call to come in on 06 Apr and told him to take Benadryl. He stated that he was kind of skinny and when you see people in TV when they give injections, they grab the skin in the arm. There was not a whole lot of meat or muscle in his shoulder to grab, from his left shoulder down to elbow, he had a black and blue bruise from inside of elbow up to shoulder and he noticed it a couple of days later. There was still some of it there. He stated the start date was a day or two later after 17Mar2021. It was finally fading away and turning lighter and lighter.

The patient was recovering from the events of contusion, lip pain and facial pain and outcome was unknown for the other events. No follow-up attempts are possible; information about lot/batch number cannot be obtained.

Vacinnated on Friday..following Sunday evening noticed bumps, blisters, hives on both of my hands in the pad areas of my hands. extended into the tips of index fingers and thumbs. very sensitive to the touch. I took some Benedril which helped with swelling. that was the most severe after effect. I'm pretty sure it was the vaccine because i had not been anywhere that weekend and had not put my hands on anything unusual that i don't normally touch. It only happened to my hands. Other than that i had minor flu like symtoms from the shot, achiness and slight fatigue feeling. I had an ER doctor look at my hands when i went in today to get help for my bronchitis, which i had some before the covid shot. It got worse on Monday. He perscribed prednisone which has pretty much taken the hand spots away..i was tested negative for covid today(1/19/21) by the way.

Following the first shot I had typical flu-like symptoms - fever, aches in joints and muscles, headache and brain fog. The second shot had the same symptoms as the first but after about 22 hours I apparently had some type of anaphylactic reaction - I remember going to the bathroom - but I woke up on the floor by the bed, and could not think how to get back in bed. My wife called 2 neighbors who helped me up. It was difficult to form complete sentences. I was transported by ambulance to ER. The ER ran a battery of blood tests, CT scan and chest x-ray. The ER doctors and oncologists concluded that I must have had a delayed reaction to the vaccine. Today, April 28, things are back to normal.

11 days after first vaccination, in left arm I noticed lymph node swelling in left neck between ear and clavicle. Consulted Dr. He recommended getting next vaccination in right arm. Did so, and noticed no change in left neck and no swelling in right neck. Dr. arranged for ultrasound exam of neck. Findings suspicious of malignancy led to CAT scan with contrast, fine needle biopsy, and PET scan . All indicated likely malignancy and a potentially primary tumor on the left tonsil. Excisional biopsy of tonsil confirmed HPV-mediated Squamous cell carcinoma. Seven weeks of cis-platin chemotherapy and radiation were implemented starting May 18 and planned to continue until July 7, 2021.

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.

The patient is a poor historian and history is obtained from him and his partner. His symptoms have started yesterday after receiving the second dose of a Covid vaccine. The couple went to eat a meal of Chinese food, and that evening the patient developed persistent nausea and vomiting. He had multiple episodes of emesis. According to his partner, he continued to have episodes of emesis this morning. The emesis was nonbilious and nonbloody, described as watery. The patient says he woke up this morning and may have felt some palpitations. He thinks the palpitations may have been worse than usual. He says he generally just felt unwell. He could not get out of bed and move around very much due to the nausea and vomiting. He says that for this reason, he activated EMS who brought him to the hospital. Regarding his atrial fibrillation, he says he is mostly compliant with taking his medications, however he did not take any of his home medications today.In the ER, he was hypertensive to 141/111 and tachycardic to 141, tachypneic to 23.

He was treated with an LR bolus 500 cc but due to the findings of increased pulmonary vascular congestion, was diuresed with Lasix 80 mg IV x1. Blood cultures x2 were obtained.

Approximately 2 weeks after vaccine administered, I started getting prickly, sore sensations in my feet and legs. Mostly feet. I asked my GP if it's possible that the vaccine could cause this. He said it's possible, but not likely. My feet became quite tender, almost like shingles pain. Doctor gave me 6 day course of prednisone for my earache, and said "we'll possibly kill two birds with one stone". The prednisone helped with the ear problem, but not the prickly, stabbing sensations. So, I went ahead and got my second covid vaccination on 2/13/21 and the problem didn't get any worse or better.

Received 2nd dose of Pfizer COVID vaccine on 2/24/21. No reported adverse reaction at that time. On 3/10/21, developed worsening of chronic back pain. On day of event, took a dose of celecoxib and rivaroxaban (concurrently). He had been avoiding taken chronic celecoxib since at least the time of his last COVID-19 vaccination, and potentially took this fairly rarely due to concern for interaction with his DOAC. Beginning about 5 minutes after these medicaions were taken, patient felt weak/strange and asked his wife to take him to ED. In ED he was initially somnolent but arousable, but then developed hypotension and hypoxemia. Given IV benadryl initially, but then acutely worsened with development of facial, hand, and neck swelling. Reportedly had substantial "frothing at the mouth." Treated with SQ epinephrine, IV methylprednisolone, IV famotidine and was intubated with difficulty. Started on an epinephrine infusion due to persistent hypotension (dose up to 0.1 mcg/kg/min) and transferred to referral center ICU (reporting center). On arrival here, notable hand edema, some facial edema. Ventilator support rapidly weaned to minimal settings. Evaluation and hospitalization ongoing. Overall clinical assessment is anaphylactic reaction to celecoxib unrelated to COVID-19 vaccination.

My digestion seemed sluggish and irregular, and I experienced a sense of being bloated (which the discharges somewhat relieved). All these symptoms continued for about three weeks. At first I thought they simply had to do with something I might have eaten, but this seemed not to be the case. Throughout, my diet, dietary supplements, residence, sleep, environment, and daily routine remained the same -- and the same as they had been for months before. Additional information for Item 18: Finally, about two weeks ago, I began taking an Ayurvedic digestive medicine (Dashamularista), once daily after lunch, which helped greatly. The discharges of gas reduced considerably in frequency and copiousness and were no longer abnormally foul-smelling. As of this day, however, flatulence still seems somewhat more than usual. Of course, I cannot unerringly testify to a cause-and-effect relationship between the vaccination and the symptoms I have described. But I see no other likely candidate for a cause. I should mention that within the last few days I have developed mild but disturbing inflammation in the joints of both hands, particularly the knuckles. I have not had this before. I have also felt somewhat listless. (This, however, is not a symptom new for me.) in the last few days I have also developed a mild edema in both feet. But I have had this before from time to time, and the present instance might be attributable to variables such as a change in weather. (In the past this edema was diagnosed as lymphatic in origin, not circulatory.)

difficulty breathing; low oxygen blood level; potassium level increased; extra fluid in his body; shivering and quaking and chills; nauseous and vomiting; nauseous and vomiting; Panic attack; was freaking out; soft pain in left side of chest; fast pulse; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable consumer (Patient's wife) A 71-year-old male patient received second dose of BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, solution for injection, lot number: EW0151) on 10Apr2021 at 17:00 at single dose via an unspecified route of administration on arm right for COVID-19 immunization. It was informed that patient had vaccination on right arm because he had a dialysis fistula in his left arm. Relevant medical history included also ongoing End stage renal disease, dialysis on 13Apr2021. The patient received first dose of BNT162B2 (lot number: EP6955) and experienced arm pain and headache. Concomitant medications were not reported. On 11Apr2021 the patient experienced shivering and quaking and chills, nauseous and vomiting, panic attack, 'was freaking out', soft pain in left side of chest, fast pulse , all provided as non serious. On the same day 11Apr2021 the patient also experienced difficulty breathing, low oxygen blood level, potassium level increased and extra fluid in his body which led to the emergency room and admission to the hospital. Clinical course was described as follows: everything was going good until Sunday at 3:29 am. Her husband woke up shivering, quaking, and he was freaking out repeating oh my god, so she called emergency number. When her husband found out that she couldn't get into the ambulance with her husband and ride to the hospital, so her husband refused to go to the hospital. She states that her husband also felt nauseous and vomited in this period of time. She stated that he had no fever, though. So fast forward to 8:30 am her husband was having difficulty breathing, and she called again and this time they had 7 paramedics come out to the house. She states that all of them were very nice. An EKG was performed because patient reported that he had a soft pain in his left side of his chest. She states that everything was cool with that, except his pulse rate was high. She states that he also had low blood oxygen level. She states that they strapped in her husband in and drove him to the hospital to the ER. At the ER they discovered that potassium level increased and she said that he had some extra fluid in his body. He was a dialyses patient so they gave him dialysis on Sunday evening. He had calmed down at that point and they were constantly taking blood from him. She found out about the COVID vaccine had potassium and phosphate as active ingredients and her husband shouldn't have that. She also informed that they had to give him a tranquilizer because he was having a panic attack during this whole episode. She says that they gave him alprazolam. Patient doesn't know exactly when the side effects went away because he didn't have a clock or a phone. Patient's wife also clarified that he vomited twice before going to the hospital but then he felt like he had to vomit afterwards but he did not. She stated that his breathing problems didn't stop when paramedics came and gave him oxygen. They made it to their house by 8:40 am, and he still had low oxygen level, they were still giving oxygen the whole time he was in the hospital. The patient was discharged on 13Apr2021. At the time of the reporting event outcome was unknown.

I had my first Pfizer shot Jan 23, with minor muscle aches. After the second shot on 2/13, the next day, I had severe aches in my upper arms and upper legs at hip (which ached every time I sat down or stood up using those muscles). Once seated, my legs did not ache. The legs seem to be okay now. However, my upper arms still ache, particularly every night when I go to bed. I sleep on my side. I find that about 3-4 in the morning, it wakes me up because my arm is uncomfortable with aches and I move to the other side. It is hard to find a good position to place my arms that do not ache. During the day I do not notice it as much, although reaching behind my back is painful. Hands are starting to feel stiff.

COVID-19 Unknown, Acute respiratory failure with hypoxia Yes, Palliative care encounter Not Applicable, Declining functional status No. DETAILS OF HOSPITAL STAY; Presenting Problem/History of Present Illness/Reason for Admission, Sepsis, due to unspecified organism, unspecified whether acute organ dysfunction present. Acute hypoxemic respiratory failure due to COVID-19,Respiratory failure. Sigmoid perforation with abscess. Hospital Course; 71-year-old male prolonged admission for acute hypoxic respiratory failure secondary to COVID-19. No history of colorectal adenocarcinoma with lung mets. Prior resection of bowel, prior chemotherapy. Required management in the ICU due to worsening respiratory failure over the time that he has been admitted to Hospital (20 days). He had remained on BiPAP therapy throughout that time, received appropriate corticosteroids, and antiviral therapies. Approximately 1-1/2 weeks ago he began to develop mild left lower quadrant abdominal pain. In the last 48 hours this is significantly worsened. CT abdomen and pelvis was obtained on Friday, which displayed pneumoperitoneum, sigmoid abscess with sigmoid perforation. There is a prior anastomotic site distal to this. Given his overall complexity he was to be medically managed to avoid the need for OR and intubation. He did well through the initial 24 hours of IV antibiotics, fluids and bowel rest. This afternoon he became increasingly dyspneic, required implementing nonrebreather mask, and subsequently developed severe rigors, tachycardia. I obtained a stat follow-up CT scan which shows similar findings of free air within the abdomen. Given signs of impending sepsis, BiPAP therapy was initiated, bolus IV fluids were given. Blood gas, blood counts, lactic acid are pending. He is receiving empiric Zosyn. I discussed this with general surgery, whom is well-known to the patient. In agreement the patient likely needs surgical intervention. However given his overall complexity and in light of the fact that this area surrounds the ureter, and we do not have urology coverage. It was felt he was most appropriate to be managed in Hospital. Case was discussed with Dr. at Hospital, patient will be transferred there via air transit. At this time his blood pressure appears stable, he is tachycardia, is currently on BiPAP which will be transitioned to CPAP for transport. He has received several doses of Dilaudid, for improved pain control. No further advancement of airway was performed prior to discharge. Case was discussed with family at length, all risks and benefits of transfer were discussed with wife and patient. It is recommended to involve pulmonary critical care services including surgical ICU care as if requiring surgery he is high likelihood for prolonged vent needs.

DETAILS OF HOSPITAL STAY Presenting Problem/History of Present Illness/Reason for Admission Respiratory failure, acute, Hospital Course; Patient is a 71 yr.. male with history of metastatic colorectal adenocarcinoma with lung metastases, prior bowel resection and chemotherapy. The patient initially tested positive for Covid in early March. His symptoms at that time are mild and resolved. He was later vaccinated and that month. He started having severe symptoms again on 4/3 for which he presented to Hospital. Since that time, he has received full course of Remdesivir and steroids. He had a CT scan performed on 4/23 which revealed pneumoperitoneum secondary to presumed perforated sigmoid diverticulitis with focal sigmoid abscess. Patient was weaned down to minimal nasal cannula settings but somewhat suddenly earlier on 4/25 patient had increased work of breathing, became tachycardia, and had rigors. Hospital ordered repeat CT scan which showed similar findings in the abdomen. Patient had been maintained on Zosyn. Repeat labs were sent which were largely unremarkable. Given concerns for worsening sepsis and potential need for surgery, he was subsequently transferred Hospital. On admission to hospital, he had a normal lactic acid and no leukocytosis. He did not have evidence of peritonitis. The decision was made to treat his diverticulitis conservatively. However, early on 4/26 the patient started to develop a lactic acidosis. An extensive discussion was had with the patient and his wife regarding surgery and the possibility the patient may never be able to separate from the vent given his worsening Covid pneumonia. The patient elected to undergo an exploratory laparotomy with with segmental resection of distal descending and loop transverse colostomy. However, as the days progressed the patient had worsening respiratory status that required deep sedation, paralytics and proning all of which were unsuccessful in maintaining his oxygen saturation greater than 88%. His wife, knowing that he would not want to have a prolonged course on the ventilator, elected for transition to palliative extubating with comfort care on 4/30 and the patient expired roughly 10 minutes after extubation.

The patient's medical history and concomitant medications were not reported. The patient was fine and nothing happened until after the vaccine. The patient took the 1st dose on 24Apr2021 and the next day he got very sick, they thought it was just a reaction from the vaccine, then he was swelling said he was not feeling well. The day after the vaccine, the patient was rushed to the emergency room and confined to the ICU. He felt unwell and it got worse and worse, we took his oxygen level and it was at 80%, he had swelling, difficulty breathing and tachycardia. The reporter thought it was an allergic reaction but this morning the patient tested positive for covid, he didn't go out the only time he went out was to get the vaccine. The reporter asked If he didn't know he had covid and got the vaccine, will he get more sick. In the report they found blood clots and the doctors thought it was from the vaccine. He was diagnosed with blood clots and difficulty breathing and he tested Covid-19 positive. Events seriousness criteria reported as hospitalization. The outcome of the events was unknown.

terrible terrible stomach pain; bug in his colon; white blood cell 18000/19500; his blood pressure was out of the roof; could not eat anymore; he's lost 10 pounds; dehydrated; vomiting 5 times; nausea; feeling warm; broke out in sweats; arm was sore; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable consumer (patient's wife). This consumer reported similar event for 3 patients (for herself, her husband and their doctor). This is 1st of three reports (husband case) and only this case is serious. A 72-year-old male patient received BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE), dose 1 via an unspecified route of administration, administered in left arm on 25Feb2021 16:15 (Lot Number: EN6202) at a single dose for COVID-19 immunisation. Medical history included diabetes mellitus and blood pressure abnormal; both from 2007 and ongoing; about 13-14 years, he does not take insulin, he takes oral medication. The consumer is calling for her husband who is in the hospital. His symptoms started after Covid 19 injection. He suddenly, out of nowhere, got a terrible, terrible pain in the middle of his stomach, it doubles him over, and he broke out in sweats and this was Saturday, 27Feb2021, in the morning. The sweating went away but the pain continued and continued. He went to urgent care on 27Feb2021 they thought he was constipated and was treated for constipation. The caller reports she should have given him Maalox but they had Dulcolax at home and the urgent care doctor said that was fine to take. Besides that he took 2 of Citrucel tablets and then managed to give him a little apple juice. He could not eat anymore his bowels are pretty messed up and he was going to the bathroom a little bit. He hasn't been eating very much. He was going to go to the ER Saturday night but it was a zoo in there, somehow he made it through the weekend. They have been putting frozen peas wrapped in towels on his stomach. He was miserable with pain. On Monday, 01Mar2021 he went to his primary care doctor and told him to go straight to the emergency room. The caller reports that, in fact, when she and her husband were at the primary care doctor, the doctor told them that, this is anecdotal info, that she (the doctor) received the Pfizer vaccine and it was about the same amount of time that she experienced the same kind of pain but hers went away after about 2 hours. Caller reports the doctor is young. With all the laxatives the patient had taken, he had the runs. They admitted him to the hospital and they ran all kinds of tests. His white blood cell count was 18000. Because he was in so much pain, his blood pressure was out of the roof. Patient is still in the hospital running tests. They are treating him with antibiotics. They think he may have a bug in his colon. To be on the safe side they are wearing gowns if someone goes into his room because they don't know what kind of bug/bacteria it is. He has not been able to provide a stool sample. The caller is waiting on a call from her husband's nurse. When querying weight caller states he's lost 10 pounds, he's 142 pounds if he's lucky. The patient received the first Covid 19 vaccine at around 4:15pm on 25Feb2021. At about 8:45 AM Saturday morning, 27Feb2021, the caller was still in bed her husband was getting in the bed and he said he didn't feel good, he never complains, so she knew something was wrong. He was making a bowl of cereal, he got the cheerios in the bowl and he went to get the milk and just that quick the pain came on just in the middle of his stomach. Kind of like in that area below your breast bone and ribs and rib cage, where it all meshes together. And the pain was just intense. He said it doubled him over and he broke out in a sweat. In the hospital he was given morphine and that didn't work, didn't help the pain. He was also given a "GI cocktail", asked caller what was in the "GI cocktail", she said something to numb him. Lidocaine was in the "GI cocktail" but she is not sure what else. GI cocktail took a long time before there was even a bit of relief. Caller states the nurse said don't look at the "GI cocktail" it's kind of gross. The caller found out that she can only go during certain hours to visit. Caller reports yesterday her husband looked better and his pain level was under control. He was given like hydrocodone or one of those "codone" medications and the nurse said he had not complained of pain in 7 hours. But his white blood cell count was higher at 19500. The caller believes the combination between hydrocodone for pain and maybe the antibiotic is starting to work. But the white blood cell count was still so sky high, eventually the white blood cell count would have to come down if the medications are working. He is more comfortable because of the pain meds. Her husband has had several different times when he has gotten all sweaty and is wanting something to wipe his forehead, feeling warm/hot. The sweating has come back but he never had a fever. She reports her husband's and her own arm were a little sore. Soreness was more noticeable by 26Feb2021. When querying the outcome of her husband's sore arm caller states since the stomach pain he hasn't said anything about the arm pain. She thinks his arm was much more sore than hers was because he was complaining quite about that. Caller reports when they were asking questions at the hospital, like how would he get this bug, how did he get it, did it come from food, like drive thru fast food. The nurse said it could have come from anywhere even medicine. Caller and her husband made sure that all the doctors, all three doctors and they were baffled and they mentioned that he had received the covid 19 vaccine. The nurse said that it could have come from the Covid 19 vaccine. And now her husband is scared to get the second shot. The caller reports she thought with the mrn or whatever it is, with how the vaccine was made she didn't think there was medicine in the vaccine that could cause a bug to grow. That it could be from some kind of medication. The timing is suspicious. She reports they stay out of the fray and try to reduce the fray and stay out of the numbers. They miss every one of their family and friends. The medications he is on, he has been on for a long time. He takes medication to control his blood pressure. The patient also had a CT scan, the main reason for the CT scan was to make sure there wasn't a blockage in his bowels, but the CT scan came back normal. Within the first few hours of being at the hospital, they took his blood 4 times. They were told immediately that he was going to be admitted. They also did a Covid test, it was negative, otherwise he would have been moved a to a different floor. There's more stuff, his oxygen, he had to be put on oxygen and also his blood pressure, it was 214 over something, it stayed really high because of his intense pain. And now that he's there he has to have something for being a diabetic. They tested his urine. He has not been able to provide a stool sample. They are waiting for a stool sample to determine the type of bug he has. The nurse told her there are 2 bugs that are dangerous and highly contagious. Anyone who goes into his room has to wear a special gown. He was told in the hospital that he was dehydrated. He couldn't get anything down. Also on Saturday, 27Feb2021 he threw up like 5 times. He has had some spells of nausea, like when your mouth gets wet. Apparently he was going to the bathroom a little bit he had 2 full doses by the time he was checked in to the hospital Monday, 01Mar2021 at 1200. His bowels were empty that's why they haven't been able to do the stool sample test. Event severe stomach pain and bug in his colon lead to emergency room and physician office visit. The patient was currently hospitalized. The patient underwent lab tests and procedures on unspecified dates which included computerised tomogram (CT): normal, covid test: negative, urine analysis: unknown results, white blood cell count: 18000, white blood cell count: 19500, blood pressure measurement: 214 over something (really high; was out of the roof), weight: lost 10 pounds. Therapeutic measures were taken as a result of terrible terrible stomach pain and bug in his colon. Events terrible terrible stomach pain, bug in his colon, broke out in sweats, feeling warm was recovering, event vomiting 5 times was recovered on 27Feb2021, event nausea was recovered on 01Mar2021, other events was unknown.; Sender's Comments: Linked Report(s) : US-PFIZER INC-2021253476 Same reporter/product, similar event and different patient;US-PFIZER INC-2021253512 Same reporter/product, similar event and different patient

C-reactive protein of 31.3 (high); poly-myalgias; Aching all over; overall aches in the arms and legs/painful bilateral legs; overall aches in the arms and legs/painful bilateral arm pain; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable physician and other health professional. A 72-year-old male patient received BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE ), via an unspecified route of administration, on 02Mar2021 (batch/lot number was not reported), as 1st dose, single dose, at age 72 years old, for COVID-19 immunization, at a clinic; and simvastatin (trade name unspecified), via an unspecified route of administration, from an unspecified date (reported as "long before Oct2017") to 16Mar2021 (batch/lot number was not reported), at unspecified dose and frequency, for an unspecified indication. Medical history included penicillin allergy, high cholesterol, and being slightly overweight, all from an unknown date and unknown if ongoing. The patient's concomitant medications were not reported. No additional vaccines were administered on the same date as BNT162B2. There were no prior vaccinations within 4 weeks. On 06Mar2021, 4 days after the first dose, the patient was aching all over, had overall aches in the arms and legs, had painful bilateral legs and bilateral arm pain. On 07Mar2021, 5 days after the first dose, the patient experienced poly-myalgias. The patient had no fever. On an unspecified date, the patient underwent high sensitivity C-reactive protein test which was 31.3 (high) and blood creatine phosphokinase (CK) was normal. The patient's CRP was usually 3 (unspecified date). The events required physician's office visit on 16Mar2021. Treatment for the events included Depo Medrol 80. Simvastatin was discontinued by the MD on 16Mar2021. On 22Mar2021, the patient went back to his physician and he was no better. He was aching all over on his arms and sides. The reporter believed that there was an adverse reaction and thought it could the simvastatin of maybe the vaccine. The patient repeated the high sensitivity C-reactive protein test on 22Mar2021 with unknown results (pending). The reporter stated that they had the patient stop simvastatin in case there was a reaction, but he got worse instead of better. They were expecting for him to get better. The reporter asked if they should not give the 2nd dose which was due on 23Mar2021, if there are any labs that they should follow besides the High Sensitivity C Reactive Protein, how long will it take to go away and is there any treatment that would be recommended. The action taken in response to the event for simvastatin was permanently withdrawn on 16Mar2021. The outcome of the event "C-reactive protein of 31.3 (high)" was unknown, and the remaining events was not recovered. Follow-up attempts are needed. Further information is expected.; Sender's Comments: Based on the information given in the narrative the causal association between events Pain, Pain in Extremity Lower limb, Pain in Extremity upper limb, Myalgia, C-reactive protein increased and the suspect vaccine BNT162B2 cannot be excluded. The impact of this report on the benefit/risk profile of the Pfizer drug 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.

Five weeks after the second dose on 05/08/2021 I woke up in the morning with a lump on my left leg near my shin that was the size of a golf ball. I had a Telehealth visit and I monitored it. I went to the Urgent Care on 06/08/2021 because it was getting worse. I had started to have some swelling, pain and discomfort in my legs and ankles. It was confirmed that I had Deep Vein Thrombosis in my left leg. They did not check the other leg because the medication would take care of any DVT in that leg. I also had heart palpitations at that time. I was prescribed injections of Lovonox and now I take Pradaxa. I still have pain and discomfort but no swelling in my left leg. I went to my doctor and a Hematologist with a Cardiology appointment scheduled.

elevated WBC counts; voice is very raspy.; his bone marrow is not working great; COVID-19 Vaccine caused an allergic reaction; sinus infection; joint pains; diarrhea; This is a spontaneous report from a Pfizer sponsored program. A contactable consumer and Other Health Professionals reported that a 73-year-old of male patient received BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE), dose 2 via an unspecified route of administration, administered in Arm Left on 02Feb2021 (Lot Number: EL9263) (at age of 72-year-old) as DOSE 2, SINGLE for covid-19 immunisation. Medical history included high blood pressure. There was no other vaccine in four weeks. Concomitant medication included lisinopril. The patient previously took the first dose of BNT162B2 administered in Arm Left on 12Jan2021 (Lot number: EL3246) at age of 72-year-old for COVID-19 immunization. The patient experienced sinus infection (sinusitis) (hospitalization) on Apr2021, joint pains (arthralgia) (hospitalization) on Apr2021, diarrhea (diarrhoea) (hospitalization) on Apr2021, elevated WBC counts (white blood cell count increased) (hospitalization) on an unspecified date, voice is very raspy. (dysphonia) (hospitalization) on Apr2021, his bone marrow is not working great (bone marrow disorder) (hospitalization) on Apr2021 , covid-19 vaccine caused an allergic reaction (hypersensitivity) (hospitalization) on Apr2021. The patient didn't start to get sick until April 2021. It began with sinus infection, joint pains and diarrhea. He was admitted to the hospital for 8 days. Caller also inquired if there have been any reports of elevated WBC counts. Patient was experiencing side effects a month after second dose of Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine. Ended up in hospital for 8 days. White blood cell count spiked up. Received second dose Feb2021. Didn't start getting sick until apr2021. Began with sinus infection, diarrhea, and then joints started to hurt. Wound up in hospital. Had many tests taken in the hospital. All of sorts of tests completed after he was released. Couldn't figure out what's wrong. Patient still being tested. Three doctors said it was a result of the vaccine. Sinus infection: Outcome: Lungs are clear, but still has a mucus drip and voice is very raspy. Diarrhea: Subsided. End date: ended at the end of his hospital stay. Joint pain: Is just subsiding now. Was put on 40mg prednisone. When it started, joints were very bad. Couldn't get dressed, button anything, couldn't walk, was incapacitated. Still hurts, but Prednisone is making the pain subside. It has gotten better because of the Prednisone. Discharged from hospital either 01Jun2021 or 02Jun2021. Caller stated her COVID-19 Vaccine card is probably the same as his because they both got theirs on the same day. No further details provided. Besides all of the tests they did, a colonoscopy was performed. Doctors saying this infection attacked his colon and kind of shut down his kidneys. Originally doctors were looking at parasite, but came up empty on that. Did all sorts of GI test and that stuff. Is on a new medication for high blood pressure. Hospital couldn't figure out what the mystery infection was. Really thought it was a parasite and everything except the COVID-19 Vaccine. Every time a test was performed, it was all negative. Went to hematologist who did various tests and identified his bone marrow is not working great nor is his immune system. Has some kind of abnormal protein being made in his bone marrow. Going for a bone marrow extraction. A theory from his medical team is that there was some kind of infection brewing and the COVID-19 Vaccine caused an allergic reaction that whacked it all out. Started Losartan Potassium yesterday, had nothing to do with it.Stopped Lisinopril 5mg. Has no NDC/LOT/EXP because it was discarded. Was told the Losartan Potassium has less allergic reactions. The outcome of the events sinus infection, joint pains, 'voice is very raspy' was resolving , of diarrhea was resolved on Jun2021, of the rest of events was unknown.

developed paralyzed vocal cords; There is inflammation; swelling; suffering so much lately with issues like diabetic neuropathy; Bell's palsy; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable consumer (the patient's wife) via medical information team. A 72-years-old male patient received second dose of bnt162b2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 mRNA VACCINE, Formulation: Solution for injection, Batch/Lot number: EL9263), via an unspecified route of administration, administered in upper left arm on 11Feb2021 16:00 (at the age of 72-years-old) as dose 1, single for COVID-19 immunisation. The vaccine was not administered as military facility. Medical history included diabetic neuropathy from an unknown date and unknown if ongoing (He has been suffering so much lately with issues like diabetic neuropathy. There were no concomitant medications. The patient previously took first dose of bnt162b2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 mRNA VAC-CINE, Formulation: Solution for injection, Batch/Lot number: EH98991), via an unspecified route of ad-ministration, administered in Arm Left (reported as upper left arm because he was right handed) on 21Jan2021 16:00 (at the age of 72-years-old) as dose 1, single for COVID-19 immunisation. The patient previously had flu shots (FLU ZONE) his whole life and pneumonia shot. They always managed to get Fluzone. Then the government changed it and flu vaccines were only made by one manufacturer. They were careful with the flu shot and had no issue ever. There was no AE with prior vaccinations. Patient had no other vaccines within 2 weeks. No additional vaccines administered on same date of the pfizer suspect. On 01Apr2021, the patient developed paralyzed vocal cords. On an unspecified date in 2021, the patient experienced bell's palsy, there was inflammation, swelling and diabetic neuropathy. The reporter stated on 01Apr2021 her husband suddenly developed paralyzed vocal cords and they could not determine if it was caused by the vaccine. Reporter would like to know if Pfizer has any information regarding paralyzed vocal cords being reported by others and if Pfizer has a solution. Reporter would like to notified if additional information regarding this side effect was to become avail-able. Reporter stated she heard and this is purely alleged that some COVID vaccines were linked to Bell's palsy which is paralysis of the face so she thought that there could be a link to the vaccine and paralysis of the vocal cords. Reporter would like to know if Pfizer have any information regarding Bell's Palsy being related to the vaccine because she heard that one of the COVID vaccines had a direct link to this side effect. The patient had a pH study and video stroboscopy and there has been no solution. They are calling it idiopathic. That was done last week and he was going back to ENT on Monday. She thought she would get the ball rolling just in case. The reporter further stated that the patient has been suffering so much lately with issues like diabetic neuropathy. She was not accusing Pfizer's products of being the cause she just thought it was her duty to report it. There was no solution. They are going back to another doctor in the facility. The left vocal cord was paralyzed that was finally discovered. That was all they know and they do not know why. The vocal cord and box was irritated. She has no idea if it was related to Pfizer, but he has never had an issue in his 73 years of existence with his vocal cords and hoarseness. The reporter stated that the patient has never left the country and had no symptoms. He had zero incident with the vaccination. He had no site pain. No arm pain. They sat for half an hour before leaving. They also did a CAT scan of neck and thorax. It was negative for cancer. The doctor wanted to make sure to rule out cancer before started any other treatment. Reporter clarified the paralyzed vocal cords are ongoing and persisting. It was reported that at first they thought it was hoarseness. There are lots of pollen and mold in the air. The patient was outside and he wiped the counter top outside off and developed hoarseness. He thought it was allergy. He was seeing (state) ENT and Allergy. They may determine he was allergic to something in the air. Pfizer may not have any responsibility at all in this. Reporter thought she should explore the option in case Pfizer said there are 20 people that had this and have a solution. The doctor said that this may be permanent. There was inflammation and swelling. Maybe if he can get rid of swelling maybe this would improve. He still has to go to the doctor. On an unspecified date in 2021, the patient underwent lab tests and procedures which included CAT scan: negative (It was negative for cancer), video stroboscopy: no solution, pH study: no solution. Patient was six foor and shrunk over the years. Adverse events required physician office visit. The case was reported as non-serious. The outcome of event developed paralyzed vocal cords was not recovered (ongoing and persisting) whereas the outcome of all other events was un-known.

I got my 1st Pfizer Covid-19 vaccination on 3/4/2021. No real adverse effects immediately - just a little sore right arm at the injection site and a watery, runny nose a day or so later that eventually stopped. I have allergies so I'm used to the runny nose symptom. However, on Monday evening, March 15, I noticed some slight pain where my lymph nodes are located underneath my jaw and close to my ear on the right side. There was a small lump that was tender to the touch, about the size of a small raisin or grape, under my jaw along my neck on the right side. To a much lesser extent, and barely noticeable, in a similar location, on my left side as well. I went to my primary care physician the next day, 3/16, who confirmed that I had swollen lymph nodes - and also told me they could notice them further down my neck as well, which I was not aware of previously. I had no other symptoms, e.g., no temperature, etc. They said that, yes, the swollen lymph nodes appeared to be consistent with earlier reports of swollen lymph nodes as a resulting side effect in some patients following a Covid19 vaccination, but also mentioned that often, this side effect was more noticeable several days after the vaccination. Since my swollen lymph nodes occurred nearly 10 days later, my PCP team said to go ahead and get the 2nd Pfizer vaccination as scheduled 3/25/21, but to return to their office two weeks later for another checkup to make sure there weren't any other issues going on.

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.

A male patient of an unspecified age received the first dose of BNT162B2 (Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine, Lot Number: EN6206), via an unspecified route of administration, administered in the left arm on 13Mar2021, single for the prevention of corona virus. Medical history included high blood pressure and allergy to penicillin both from an unknown date and unknown if ongoing. The patient's fiance and the patient took their first Pfizer Covid shot on 13March2021 and within 4 minutes the patient started showing symptoms of everything. The patient had his shot on his left arm, his whole left side of his body went numb. He was asked "are you allergic to anything" and he said he cannot have Penicillin. The reporter stated that event on the day of the report, the patient still has the numbness down in his foot, his toe and on his left side but also originally within 4 minutes he was sat down and also within 12 minutes he was throwing up and they could not figure out what was wrong, he did "fall on the ground" (as reported, not further clarified). The patient was experiencing, not as strong but still experiencing, tingly and shingles and originally was numb. The patient is concerned about it. The patient only took the first one because that was on the Saturday and on Monday he went to the doctor and the doctor suggested to not take the second one because his blood pressure turned dropping, he does have the blood pressure and it was 107/70. The reporter said that the patient has allergy and since of that all he had anaphylactic reaction because he is allergic to Penicillin (as reported, pending clarification). He had tingling and shingles after the shot. He was very cold and sweaty and "creepy" (as reported not further clarified). The reporter called the nurse and they took over to have his blood pressure and it was 107/70. The reporter also added that just 4 minutes after the shot he had headache and dizziness and numbness bottom of his left foot and his toe, tingling under his foot and numbness under his toe. The patient did not take any treatment for the events but might take Tylenol for the headache. The outcome of the events his whole left side of his body went numb/still has the numbness down in his foot, his toe and on his left side, shingles, blood pressure turned dropping 107/70, headache and dizziness was not recovered while the outcome of the other events was unknown.

Got the shot on Thursday at 2:00 PM. Felt fine until next day around 1:00 PM. Came in from work and had to lay down because I was very tired, upset stomach, low fever, and very weak legs. All I could do was sleep. I was sick for 6 or 7 days. After about 10 days, my feet began to swell and my toes started turning purple and black. My feet were extremely painful and I was unable to walk. Over 3 months after the shot I am still having trouble with my feet.

May 20 Had felt "fatigued" most of day - attributed it to having to rise earlier than usual and having not slept well. Evening of 2nd dose date I began to feel somewhat more fatigued. (Had also drank a shot of tequila before dinner and had a glass of white wine with. Was also smoking high quality cannabis in moderation.) At 11:00 pm I rose from my chair having been seated for probably an hour and symptoms hit me full force: chills, the mild soreness in my upper arm became moderate to severe and spread to my shoulder and lower back, whole body particularly joints (including fingers of left hand) aches, mild nausea. Rough night May 21 Symptoms continue with less severity. Especially notice pain in lymph gland areas - armpits, lower back, sides of neck. by evening (with the help of 1/2 Percocet (10/325) I was feeling ok and stayed up til 1:30am May 22 Awake @ 8am. whole body particularly joints still ache including left hand (exacerbated by phone use). Upper left arm & shoulder still sore but mid-back left side more so. May 23 Pretty much back to normal. "Flu symptoms" ran their course. Still have a tough immune system at 73yo apparently (I rarely get sick at all)

severe anaphylactic shock; Unconscious; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable consumer (patient). This 73-year-old male patient received BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE) via an unspecified route of administration in the right arm on 27Feb2021 (at the age of 73-year-old) (Batch/Lot Number: EN6200) as single dose (unknown if first or second dose) for COVID-19 immunisation and bendamustine from an unspecified date, 5th dose in what was to be a series of 12, for Waldenstrom's macroglobulinaemia. Relevant medical history included Waldenstrom's macroglobulinaemia. The patient's concomitant medications were not reported. The patient previously took bendamustine for Waldenstrom's macroglobulinaemia (the patient received 12 doses over 6 months 2 years ago). On 03Mar2021, the patient experienced severe anaphylactic shock and loss of consciousness; the events were considered serious as life-threatening. The patient specified that 5 days after the vaccine, the patient was undergoing chemotherapy with bendamustine. He had Waldenstrom's macroglobulenemia. This was his 5th dose in what was to be a series of 12. He had received 12 doses over 6 months 2 years prior to this report. During the treatment, the patient went into severe anaphylactic shock. He was unconscious in about 10 seconds from the onset of his first symptoms. He was treated on site and transferred to an E.R. The severity of the event and the fact that both drugs were playing around with his immunoglobulins led him to file this report. Prior to vaccination, the patient was not diagnosed with COVID-19. The patient underwent a nasal swab on an unspecified date which was negative. He recovered from the events on an unspecified date.

Former smoker, quit 12+ yrs ago. 11/1/20-11/6/20: Hospitalized for acute on chronic back pain, found to multiple hypermetabolic lesions in the axial skeleton. Diagnosed with epithelioid angiosarcoma. Patient discharged to facility. 12/17/20: Patient received his 1st COVID-19 vaccine w/o complications at facility. 12/21/20: Underwent cyberknife treatment. 12/31/20: Transferred from facility to ER for new O2 requirement, SOB, cough, chest X ray / pulm edema, tachycardic and new periorbital edema. 12/31/20: Admitted to ICU before transfer to acute care. 1/1/21: Pulmonary consult, "Labs are notable for progressive left shift with bandemia, markedly elevated inflammatory markers (D-dimer, ESR, CRP, ferritin, LDH), mild elevation in procalcitonin, mild elevation in lactate that has improved, and negative viral panel including COVID-19 x2. CT chest is notable for b/l GGOs along with some interstitial infiltrates with an upper and particularly mid zone and perihilar predominance, septal thickening and crazy paving, and numerous cystic lesions or pneumatoceles. There is a lack of lobar consolidation and pulmonary nodules. Of note, PET/CT about 2 months ago only demonstrated some mild to moderate emphysema mostly in the upper lobes. Therefore, there has been a relatively dramatic change in a few months, suggesting a more subacute process, rather than an acute infectious process such as a viral pneumonia, including COVID-19 infection, in which the GGOs tend to be subpleural and peripheral. Overall, our suspicion for COVID-19 is relatively low, with negative testing x2 yesterday, negative testing a few weeks ago, and lack of sick contacts, but it is possible. Therefore, higher on the differential is a more subacute infection or chemotherapy-induced pneumonitis. Risk factors include malignancy, chemotherapy, and use of steroids (equivalence of about 27 mg of Prednisone in the form of Dexamethasone since 11/6/20 without PJP prophylaxis). These risk factors, along with consistent imaging and elevated LDH, make PJP quite likely. Fungal infection is less likely based on imaging. Chemotherapy-induced pneumonitis is a possibility, especially given the more subacute picture based on imaging. Both Gemcitabine and Docetaxel can cause pneumonitis. However, the patient has been on steroids, which is used to treat drug-induced pneumonitis, although this does not exclude it completely." 1/2/21: Transferred to ICU for worsening hypoxemia as patient reached 40L/100% FIO2 and remained on COVID isolation/COVID patient under investigation per ID recommendation. 1/4/21: Isolation precautions discontinued due to lower suspicion for active COVID infection to explain current presentation 1/6/21: Went into atrial fibrillation w/o RVR overnight 1/6. Tolerating, with MAPs in low 60s and HR in high 90s/low 100s. Suspect due to being-1L yesterday from diuresis, lasix stopped. S/p amiodarone bolus + drip, albumin 5% bolus 1/5/21: Macrocytic anemia NOS w/ slowly worsening H/H s/p PRBC x 1 unit 1/7/21: Per ICU Life-sustaining treatment note, "Following discussion w/ patient that his lung dx has been refractory to txt and hasn't improved despite maximal therapy, patient agreed to transition to hospice after he settles affairs. " 1/7/21 Infectious Disease note: "This is an immunocompromised host due to cancer on active chemotherapy (albeit ANC>4000 on admission) and notably had been on daily PO dexamethasone 1 mg TID (total daily dose 3 mg, equivalent to 20 mg PO prednisone) since 11/6/20 without any PJP ppx. There was elevated c/f COVID-19 infection in setting of patient's presenting symptoms, especially in conjunction with b/l GGOs on imaging. Has undergone multiple COVID test that have all resulted negative. Discussed radiographic findings with radiology colleagues, and overall, it is difficult to definitively narrow the differential with imaging alone, but overall density of GGOs seem to appear less likely PJP and more in line with chemical pneumonitis vs COVID, although less typical for viral pneumonia as well. Given false-negative COVID tests are not unheard of, especially in the immunocompromised population, patient was kept on isolation precautions as a PUI for abundance of caution. He is now off precautions. In setting of patient having been on prednisone for some time without PJP ppx, he was also started on treatment dose TMP/SMX. Beta-d-glucan has returned positive, and although not the ideal test for PJP, this can certainly support a potential dx of PJP. Unfortunately, DFA from sputum was not performed due to insufficient sample and currently the patient is unable to produce an additional sample for testing. He is tolerating the high-dose TMP/SMX; we adjusted the dose to three SS tablets TID based on his somewhat declining UOP. Other fungal etiologies are pending work-up as well. Lastly, patient's chemotherapy is known to cause pneumonitis, but per pulmonology team, he receives prophylactic dexamethasone with his chemo cycles that should help to prevent drug-induced pneumonitis. Remains on the differential for now and this should also be concurrently treated with the steroids he is receiving." 1/10/21: Comfort care initiated. All non-comfort measures were discontinued. Time of death: Jan 10,2021@14:56; immediate cause of death per death note is "hypoxic respiratory failure"

Swelling in the groin area above the hip; skin is swollen and there is lump; skin is swollen and there is lump; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable consumer. A 74-years-old male patient received BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, lot number: EL1284), via an unspecified route of administration on 18Jan2021 at first single dose for covid-19 immunisation. Medical history included: the patient had pre-existing conditions, he was hospitalized in Dec2020 and he was undergoing a lot of testing and there was possibility that he had a form of cancer and they discovered something on the next to his lungs. The reporter stated they did not have all of the diagnosis of it yet and he was waiting to be seen for specialist. The patient's concomitant medications were not reported. On 20Jan2021, the patient had a swelling. Swelling in the groin area above the hip. Skin is swollen and there is a lump.

Patient is a very pleasant 75y.o. year old male with a known history of metastatic colon carcinoma currently receiving chemotherapy, presenting to the hospital with complaints of odynophagia and dysphagia with both liquids and solids over the past 2-3 days. Additional complaints included intermittent shortness of breath related to "asthma" - unchanged in character or severity from previously.. He denies any cough, chest pain, fever, chills, sweats. At presentation he was afebrile with stable vital signs and was maintaining an O2 sat of 100% breathing room air. Laboratory revealed a WBC of 40.4 with a predominance of neutrophils on the differential as well as toxic granulation (patient had just recently received Neulasta on 6/17), mild elevation of his alkaline phosphatase of 199 with a normal bilirubin, and normal renal function. CXR was negative for any acute pathology. For reasons that are unclear, testing for SARS CoV 2 by NAA was performed and was positive. The patient has a history of having had Covid in November 2020, and also received vaccination for Covid with 2 doses of the Pfizer vaccine in April of this year. His any recent contact with anyone with Covid 19, and states that he has severely limited travel outside of his apartment to avoid social contact during the pandemic. ID is consulted regarding the above presentation. Significance unclear. This patient has little in the way of symptomatology to support a diagnosis of Covid 19. He had symptomatic infection with SARS CoV 2 in November 2020. Prolonged positive testing for SARS CoV 2 by NAA as been noted for months following Covid 19. In addition, prolonged shedding has been noted in patient's who are immunocompromised, although I would doubt that is the situation here as he is asymptomatic for Covid 19 (intermittent shortness of breath likely related to his underlying asthma as she is maintaining an excellent O2 sat breathing room air at this time and has a negative CXR). I do not think any therapy for Covid 19 is indicated at this time. Would doubt he is shedding infectious virus, but will continue isolation for now
