A 17-year-old female patient received BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE), via intramuscular, administered in left arm on 02Apr2021 10:00 (Batch/Lot Number: EN6207) as 2ND DOSE, SINGLE for covid-19 immunisation. Medical history included Colitis ulcerative from 2014 and ongoing, Genetic immune deficiency, additional Information for other conditions: Caller describes it as "22q". patient was born with this but wasn't actually diagnosed until patient was 11 years old. They checked with patient's Immunologist before getting the vaccine especially with her daughter's history. Thyroid disease from 2015 to an unknown date, additional Information for other conditions: patient didn't have a thyroid- her thyroid was removed.

The patient took first dose of Pfizer COVID vaccine on 12Mar2021 10:00 (Lot: EN6207) for COVID-19 immunization and patient had no side effects after the first dose. No additional vaccines administered on same date of the Pfizer suspect. No prior vaccinations (within 4 weeks). The patient just saw her Immunologist and her Immunologist instructed her to report what is going on with patient. Caller clarifies patient's immunologist plans to call and report as well but also instructed her to call and report the side effects her daughter is experiencing. Her daughter was cleared to have the COVID vaccine. The caller explains they always check with her immunologist because of her daughter's immune issues. Her daughter received the second dose of the COVID vaccine on 02Apr2021. On the evening of 04Apr2021, her daughter broke out in hives. They didn't think it was a big deal, they thought it was just an allergic reaction. She tried Benadryl and several other things. They went and saw her daughters regular general practitioner and the doctor believed it was just a delayed skin reaction, which seems to be common with the Pfizer COVID vaccine. The doctor told her he's seen one other person with this delayed reaction. He gave her daughter a steroid injection, a Steroid Dose Pack and Pepcid. She was also placed on Benadryl as needed. About 2 weeks after this, her daughter and lip and face swelling and ended up in the Emergency Room (ER). At this ER visit, they initiated the allergic reaction protocol and it was not an anaphylactic reaction at that point. Her daughter received IV Benadryl and IV steroids, the caller is not sure what else. She confirms she has no NDC, Lot number and expiry dates for the medication her daughter received in the ER. The ER doctor contacted the Immunologist on call and the Immunologist had seen a few cases with a delayed reaction. Caller clarifies the ER doctor discussed her daughter's delayed skin reaction with the on-call Immunologist. The oncologist put her daughter on generic Zyrtec, 20mg in the morning and 20mg at night. The following week, her daughter woke her up with facial and tongue swelling. She clarifies further her daughter had fever, joint pain, and had broken out in a rash that moved to her face and lips. She immediately took her to the ER. The ER followed the whole anaphylaxis protocol and was given an EpiPen. She explains her daughter was diagnosed serum/covid sickness. This has been going on for over 6 weeks. The reaction will come and go. She was told as her daughter's body develops immunity, she is basically allergic to it. She clarifies at her ER visits, they checked her daughters liver and kidneys. It was noted her daughter had and elevated CRP, which is an inflammatory marker. The caller was told they thought her daughter had serum sickness from the vaccine which may last 4-6 weeks or it may be prolonged, so they just went with it. They told her as long as it didn't move to her lips or affect her daughters breathings, eventually it would wax and wane and go away. Her daughter started breaking out on her arms and legs and last Saturday, she woke up and her face was swelling. She clarifies her daughter's eye started to swell and her tongue. She took her straight to the ER and the ER followed the anaphylaxis protocol and injected her with an EpiPen.

She believes the initial/first ER visit was probably a week or so before the second one. She clarifies she broke out in hives on 04 Apr2021 and went to the doctor on 07Apr2021 or 08Apr2021 so the ER visit was around the next week. Since her daughter had such a good response from the EpiPen the ER doctor took pictures before and after. She clarifies the name of the biologic they want to put her daughter on is Xolair, it is a monthly injection. She explains the current cocktail they have her daughter on is not working. She provides the following product information for these 4 medications and EpiPen. Relevant Tests included she knows they are testing for any other thing that it could be to rule it out. She knows they ran a CIS-tray, a complete CIQ , a Histamine release something and Tryptase. She knows they checked her CRP (inflammatory marker) because it was elevated. Every time her daughter went to the ER, they did a CBC and all of that was normal except for the CRP inflammatory marker, however her CRP was normal at the last ER visit. The outcome of events was unknown. No follow-up attempts are needed. No further information is expected.

I started experiencing pain in my calf on 4/21 that same night of the vaccination. There was a tight feeling in my knee and every time I took a step with my right leg there was pain that radiated down my calf. It almost felt like a muscle pain so I ignored it for a few days. By 4/24 the pain had gotten so bad that I didn't want to walk anywhere and cried when I walked. My mom came and picked me up and took me to the urgent care center. They asked me a few questions and told me that I needed to go to the ER to get checked for a blood clot. I went to hospital on 4/24, and an ultrasound of my knee was done. The doctor diagnosed me with a blood clot and told me to stop taking the Xulane which was my birth control at the time. They told me to follow up with my OBGYN and a hematologist. (I had been on my birth control for about 6 months and I have never had any issues with blood clots and they do not run in my family. The NP is who told me to report my blood clot to the CDC because she is a little suspicious that the shot is where it come from.)

I started having vaginal bleeding on April 14th. The first day, it was the same amount as a regular period. In the days following, the bleeding became very heavy, having me go through a super-sized tampon with a pad every 1 and a half to two hours along with several large blood clots each time changing. On the 15th, I called the on-call nurse for my gynocologist and she said that it might have been from the vaccine and taking birth control, since many patients of hers had called with the same problem. The bleeding continued at this rate all the way until my second dose on April 29th. I saw my primary doctor that day and she tested my hemoglobin, which came up at 10.7, which was slightly anemic. She prescribed an Iron supplement and told me to skip my "period" days and go straight to my next pack of birth control when the one I was using was finished. The next day, I experienced severe nausea, diarrhea, chills, fever-like symptoms, difficulty breathing, and extreme fatigue. I went to the Emergency Room, and they gave me about an IV and a half. They said I had extreme dehydration, and was slightly more anemic than when tested the day before. Following that day, the bleeding was significantly lighter and then stopped for a few days on the following Thursday when I started my new pack of birth control. I had little to no blood for.a couple days, followed by bloody discharge up until Tuesday night, the 11th of May, when the bleeding started again, being about the same amount as a regular period. I am still currently bleeding at this rate.

After about a week or less following each shot of the COVID-19 vaccine, my menstrual cycle began to experience SEVERE irregularities. As someone who has been on the same birth control for many many years (brand/type is NORG-EE oral contraceptives), with no previous issues and an extremely regulated cycle, the effects I experienced were far from normal. My periods came a week early, and lasted for the entirety of the rest of the cycle (totaling 2 weeks of bleeding). The bleeding was extremely heavy containing intense and large clotting for the entirety of the period. Aside from losing a tremendous amount of blood, I have experienced heavy cramping in the lower abdomen and lower/mid back regions both during these periods and even sometimes when I am not bleeding at all. These side effects coupled have caused me to feel fatigued to the point of feeling like I needed to pass out, and due to this I adopted to taking iron supplements daily during the irregular bleeding (chelated iron, 18 mg capsules as recommended). As a result of this concerning symptom, I scheduled a visit to see my primary OBGYN, and was told that this is a common issue that they have been seeing following patient vaccinations. It is my hope that my periods will be regular this month, but for now I am unsure that this issue has resolved.

On 15May2021, 8:30 in the morning patient threw up and was saying that her heart was racing, so she got their finger monitor, and heart rate was out of control so they took her to the emergency room. They tried to get her heart rate down with medications and sent her to an electro physicist, and the rest was history. The only reason attributed this to the vaccine was because this occurred 17 days after her second shot and patient was has been an athlete her whole life, has been in great shape with no heart problems. They captured flutter on the EKG, and saw AFIB when she was under, on 15May2021. Patient ended up having to have cardiac surgery (for AFIB) on 16Jun2021 13:00 in hospital from 16Jun2021 to 17Jun2021.
