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

Patient was a previously healthy 60 year old male who developed an acute change in mental status on 4/9/21 after first receiving the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine; he was ultimately diagnosed to have hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis, and other underlying etiologies were ruled out (malignancy, infection, autoimmune disorders) and improved only after initiation of HLH-directed treatment with etoposide and dexamethasone. He is currently in remission. Patient was initially admitted in 4/2021 for fevers, night sweats, weight loss, and worsening altered mental status. Patient symptoms reportedly started in ~ 4/2021. Per patient's wife, there is a temporal correlation between the patient receiving the COVID-19 vaccine and his symptoms worsening. He was admitted in 4/2021 for stroke-like symptoms after his 1st dose and was diagnosed with a TIA. He was cleared to receive the 2nd dose of the COVID-19 vaccine (received on 4/25/21), and he reportedly became worse after this dose as well. He underwent an extensive workup over the last 2 months to further evaluate his symptoms. He was found to have mediastinal lymphadenopathy on imaging. He had an excisional biopsy of these LNs which were ultimately reactive in nature (negative for lymphoma). There was no evidence of a lymphoma or a lymphoproliferative disorder. Patient was ultimately readmitted to hospital on 5/17/21 due to worsening symptoms. His labs were notable for anemia/thrombocytopenia. A bone marrow biopsy and aspirate to rule out suspected lymphoma was performed and his labs/bone marrow were consistent with a diagnosis of HLH. He was found to meet 6/8 criteria (splenomegaly, peripheral blood cytopenias, elevated ferritin, hemophagocytosis noted on bone marrow, fevers, and elevated Soluble IL-2). The hope was to do a PET/CT and LP before starting therapy to rule out secondary causes of HLH. However, his clinical status continued to deteriorate before these tests could be performed and so he was ultimately started on Dexamethasone and Etoposide as per HLH protocol. These therapies were started on June 3rd. His mental status significantly improved once the medications were started. A PET/CT and LP on 6/7/21 were finally obtained ; however, both did not show overt evidence of an underlying trigger for HLH. "Prominent mediastinal, hilar, and RP LNs seen on previous imaging were not FDG-avid." It did show a few small, mildly FDG-avid patchy B/L pulmonary opacities which were likely infectious or inflammatory for which a follow-up CT Chest was recommended. The flow from the CSF was grossly unremarkable. CSF PCR and other viral studies were negative. Of note, it is uncertain at this juncture if these tests are negative because they are truly negative, or if they are possibly falsely negative since patient was started on treatment before they were obtained. Currently, patient's mental status has significantly improved with Dexamethasone and Etoposide. Per the HLH protocol (which is a scheduled over 8 weeks), patient was started on Dexamethasone 10mg/m2 (equates to 20mg daily) and Etoposide 150mg/m2 biweekly for the 1st 2 weeks. Pt received his 2 weeks of biweekly Etoposide while inpatient (6/3, 6/9, 6/11, and 6/15). The remaining Etoposide doses are to be given weekly and his next dose would be ideally due on 6/22/21 (today). He also completed his 14-day course of Dexamethasone 10mg/m2 on day of discharge (6/16/21). Pt was advised to reduce his Dexamethasone to 5mg/m2 (or 10mg daily) on 6/17. Of note, ID was contacted on day of discharge who recommends that patient be placed on PCP PPx while on HLH therapy. He was recommended to start Mepron on 6/17/21.

Suspected to have lymphoma ruled out but ruled out; bone marrow showed hemophagocytosis, and labs showed high soluble IL-2 receptor (33,903). Met criteria for hemophagocytic lymphohystiocytosis (HLH); other causes triggers of HLH (infection, cancer, autoimmune disorder ruled out). Positron emission tomogram (PET) scan negative for malignancy. Patient improved only after starting Etoposide and dexamethasone, now (as reported) in remission. The events resulted in doctor or other healthcare professional office/clinic visit and emergency room/department or urgent care. The patient was hospitalized for 68 days for the events. The events assessed as serious (life threatening and caused/prolonged hospitalization). Outcome of the events at the time of report was resolving.; Sender's Comments: Limited information precludes a comprehensive causality assessment ,however causal of BNT162B2 vaccine cannot be excluded for the reported events 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 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.

Hospital course 1/31 ? 2/20/21 1/31 in ED pt was at home when children noticed his lips were blue, ems arrived and found him to be 50% on RA, on Non-rebreather pt got to 78%, covid on 01/26 Shortness of Breath 61-year-old male presents with EMS for evaluation of shortness of breath hypoxia. History is limited due to the patient's current clinical condition and so is primarily obtained from EMS. EMS reports that he tested positive for COVID-19 5 days ago. He began developing shortness of breath yesterday and his family called because his lips and fingers were blue today and he appeared short of breath. On EMS arrival he had a room air saturation of less than 50% so he was placed on nonrebreather with improvement in his saturation to 70% and he was transported to the emergency department. Patient does admit to shortness of breath. He denies any chest pain. He is noted to have a cast on his left ankle and said that he broke his left ankle on 23 December but has not had surgery. He denies any new pain or swelling of the leg. In the ED he was placed on 15L nasal cannula and NRB mask with improvement in SPO2 to low 90s. Additional work up revealed troponin of 1.35, lactic acid 5.8, and d-dimer 14.4. He received dexamethasone and was placed on heparin gtt. 1/31 admitted to ICU Acute hypoxic respiratory failure due to COVID-19 vs heart failure vs PE. CXR with bilateral hazy infiltrates more pronounced in the bases and left periphery and suspected multifocal pneumonia. At risk for PE given LLE immobility in the setting of COVID-19 with significantly elevated d-dimer. RISK of CTA outweighs benefit given AKI and iodine allergy. Continue with empiric treatment with heparin gtt. Admitted to ICU with SO2 in 60s-70s on 15L and NRB. Attempted 50L 95% FIO2 high flow and nasal cannula. Given lasix 40mg IV with good diuresis however SPO2 still remained low 80s with RR 40s and PO2 42 so the decision was made to intubate. Oxygenation improved following intubation, with further improvement following recruitment maneuver and increase in PEEP. FIO2 weaned to 90% with SPO2 remaining in mid 90s. Will continue to wean FIO2 as able. ARDS net protocol as much as possible. Consider prone ventilation and/or epoprostenol if unable to improve . VAP Bundle: HOB >30 degrees; Oral care per nursing standard and on DVT/PPI prophylaxis Sedation: Target Richmond Agitation and Sedation Scale (RASS) of 0 to -2 with propofol and fentanyl. Check baseline TG levels. COVID - 19: Convalescent plasma: Not indicated Steroids: Dexamethasone 6 mg / day for 10 days Remdesivir: Not indicated d/t AKI IL-6 inhibitor: Meets criteria for tocilizumab Systemic AC: Heparin gtt. No signs of bleeding (Platelets and Hb stable). Antibiotics: Start 3 and 7 day course of azithromycin and ceftriaxone, respectively. Elevated troponin Suspect demand ischemia d/t hypoxia; EKG does not show any ischemic changes AKI: Suspect d/t hypoxia in the setting of COVID infection. Urine output and electrolytes acceptable. Closed fracture of left ankle Suffered fracture following a fall on ice in December. Cast was placed on 12/30 by SOS. He was due to be re-evaluated this week for possible cast removal. Inhaled epoprostenol started Considered for ECMO but not initiated due to not a candidate Vasopressors required at times Antihypertensive infusion required at times severe hypoxia with position changes switched from heparin drip to enoxaparin prophylaxis 2/20 discharge summary 61 y/o male admitted to Hospital on 1/31 with hypoxia. He was diagnosed with COVID 19 5 days prior to admission, and had worsening respiratory status. He was intubated after arrival, and was on ventilator for the entire intervening time, until he was extubated on 2/20 at the time of transition to Comfort measures only. Prior to developing COVID 19, he had received his first dose of the Pfizer vaccine, as a member of the school system. He had a fractured L ankle after a fall on 12/31/20, and had a cast in place at the time of admission. He received Tocilizumab on 1/31, and underwent several cycles of prone positioning, beginning on 2/2. He completed a course of Decadron, he received Ceftriaxone and azithromycin beginning on admission, and completed a course of these. Anticoagulation with enoxaparin was utilized due to coagulopathy associated with COVID 19. Vasopressor support was required at times, as well as diuresis for fluid management. He required high levels of sedation to maintain ventilator synchrony, and high levels of ventilator support with high oxygen levels throughout his stay. Tracheostomy was being considered, but family decided that since he was not going to have good recovery, withdrawal of support, and allowing death was the appropriate choice for the patient and for them. He was extubated at 2100 on 2/20/2021. Death was pronounced at 2123 on 2/20/2021. Children were at bedside.

Day of second dose, chest pain and headaches increased significantly. EKG performed by PCP and Emergency Room confirmed abnormal. Diagnosed with acute myocardial infarction, emergency angiosplasty performed on right coronary artery. I felt this all to coincidental given timing and duration of side effect with 1st and 2nd shot. All EKGs in past, including one in August 2020, normal, and then abnormal six months later.

I called 911 because he had a history of CHF and I didn't want his pulse to drop and not have other trained personnel on hand if CPR was required. I gave him water to try to raise his BP and rechecked his BP after 5 minutes and it raised to 127/83 with a pulse of 64. He stopped sweating and his color came back in his face at that time. The EMT's rechecked vitals and ended up taking him to the ED to run tests.

I had a stroke on April 30, 2021, 10 days after the second dose of Pfizer on April 20, 2021. The stroke was the result of a blood clot. I've never had blood clots until I subjected my perfectly healthy body to the Covid vaccination. On the morning of April 30, 2021, I was suddenly overcome with a sense of disorientation and dizziness. Spouse drove me to the ER. They discovered I had experienced a stroke. Let me be absolutely clear. The Pfizer vaccine is the sole reason I developed blood clots and had a stroke. I was perfectly healthy until I got vaccinated. I now have brain fog, dizziness, and every day is a challenge. I feel so dumb for falling for the get vaccinated garbage.

My dad suffered what I believe to be a blood clot in his lung on April 6th, directly related to the second pfizer covid vaccination. Though chronically ill, he was not sick at the time, which was 4 days after the vaccine. He walked up the stairs, collapsed at the top, walked again to the chair, collapsed and then made his way into the chair where he told me "I can't breathe." and then slumped over. My mom and I lifted his limp body up and noticed he was not breathing. We moved him to the floor and started life support measures. About 5 minutes later the paramedics arrived. They were eventually able to get his heart and breathing going again about 14 minutes later. He was moved to critical care. After it became apparent he suffered irreparable brain damage, I stopped the life support measures (ventilator) and he passed away shortly after on Friday the 9th. They were continuously removing blood from his lungs while he was there. There was no indication he would die prior to this incident. Though we attempted to tell the critical care doctors about his recent vaccination, they were not receptive to the suggestion that this may have caused the incident that proceeded his passing. My mom did try the heimlich and there were indications that he had breathed in vomit, but he had stopped breathing before this and therefore his cause of death WAS NOT aspiration. He also had fallen the day after the vaccination (Saturday) and the notes indicated his broken ribs were from the CPR measures but this is in error as well as he had broken his ribs in the fall. It is my opinion the broken ribs caused a bruise in the lungs, the vaccination caused excessive clotting, and when he was coughing shortly before the incident it loosened the clots that then caused a pulmonary embolism.

Lot of blood was coming out while I was toweling my body out. I couldn't find out where the blood is coming from. I checked, it's not from my urine, not from my rectum but it was quite a lot of blood drawing out of my body. Immediately, I called my wife into bathroom, then I squeezed my body then the bleeding stops. It was on 24Dec2020. You know my kids were at home. I don't want them to find it. The bleeding stopped and everything went away. Then I thought maybe it is something related to my GI. I went to my GI doctor yesterday to have a checkup, they don't know anything either but I am due for my second dose for next week Wednesday. Now I had this news about thrombocytopenia on this doctor died (Clarification unknown). So I am just afraid if there is anything related this.

Within 1 minute of vaccine being injected. I started to feel dizzy. I was wheeled in wheelchair to observation area. I kept feeling more dizzy and started to feel tingly in my fingers and legs (both sides equally) After 15 minute observation time was over, I tried to stand up and immediately sat down again as a wave of dizziness hit me. Doctor in observation area saw me and came over. I told him how I felt. He put his fingers to my wrist and felt my pulse. It was initially between 40 and 90, then steadied off around 90-100. He called for EMTs on duty to come over with a stretcher because he thought I should be laid flat. The EMT took my blood pressure and it was 155/94. The doctor said at one point my pulse was thready. By this point the dizziness was stronger and I felt tingly in my teeth as well as other areas. I was asked about my breathing and I said that it was okay. An ambulance was called for and arrived. I don't remember the exact time. The moved me from the wheelchair to a stretcher. I could not stand up on my own and lurched toward the stretcher. I am grateful strong people were there to get me on stretcher and strapped in. All throughout this my normally barely noticeable Atrial Fibrillation was quite apparent and more erratic. This was a major reason for ambulance call. Some of the stroke protocol was done including gripping EMT's fingers equally and following his finger with my eyes. I was very cold throughout. I was brought to the waiting ambulance outside and driven to Medical Center. The EMT took an EKG which showed atrial fibrillation and a line was put into my arm. When we got to the hospital, I was brought into the triage area and had all my vitals taken. Blood pressure was high, so was pulse then for a half hour, I was very hot and sweated a lot after being cold.

The patient was hospitalized for the events from 17Apr2021 to 23Apr2021 and was treated with Coumadin. The outcome of the events was recovering.; Sender's Comments: Drug causality would seem unlikely for BNT162B2 vaccine since there is no plausible mechanism implicating the subject drug to the events. The reported events may be regarded as natural progression of patient's pre-existing conditions. 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.

The Dr gave me Solital 2x per day and as soon as he did that, within two days the AFIB went away. He took away my blood pressure medication and gave me the Solital. But I still get tired easier than I did before.

He had 3 different IV's going in each arm shooting different heart medications in him and the doctor explained that the medications didn't mix well, could not go in the same IV at the same time. The patient shared that this was the second worst feeling he has ever had since he had his first heart surgery. He meant they thought he was dead or dying he lost feeling of everything. His arm felt better, but every now and again felt like a little knot or something was in there. He was breathing better, they gave him inhalers, albuterol.

While this first vaccine gave no side effects other than a slightly sore arm, 17 days later on 4-17-2021 I suffered a TIA (Transcient Ischemic Attack). That occurred at 5:15 pm and I immediately took 4-81 mg aspirin and headed for a nearby Emergency Room. They said it was a stroke (and it did show on an MRI the next day but sub-centimeter and I was told the size of a pinhead. AT the ER the double vision in my left eye and numbness in left lips, gum and tongue were already subsiding, but the DR there gave me a Plavix and within 5 minutes I was completely back to normal (or close). I am not sure IF that first dose of vaccine had anytrhing to do with this TIA, but it might have? I had also stopped taking my 81mg aspirin several days before this TIA as I had a Periodontal appointment for insertion of an implant post and wanted to control the possible bleeding. The thoughts of my Doctor at Hospital as well as the Neurologists was that the omission of the aspirin PROBABLY was the main cause of the temporary clotting that caused this event HOWEVER I did not tell them that I was 17 days post-Covid Pfizer vax #1 and so the possibility remains that the vaccine could have been partially the cause of this event? As listed previously, Dr at Hospital was my Doctor and might shed some light on this and her thoughts. I felt it was important enough to report as I have heard stories of all of the vaccines possibly causing some clotting and this might fit.

He had Covid 19 on Thanksgiving 2020 and recovered fully. Even though he now had natural antibodies, his Doctor convinced him that he needed the so called Covid 19 vaccine "mRNA gene therapy". On 04/29/2021, he was injected with the so called vaccine and that was the beginning of the end. On 05/10/2021, he was admitted to the Hospital with irregular heartbeat and trouble breathing. The Hospital could not get him stabilized so they transported him to another Hospital. He was there a couple of weeks or so and was now having issues with his kidneys and liver. It appeared the spike proteins had started to battle the rest of his viable organs. The hospital had to transport him to a nursing home facility because his number of days in the hospital per insurance had run out. Then on the evening of 06/13 or 14/ 2021, he became violently ill. He was taken to hospital again and was subsequently transferred back to another Hospital. The Spike proteins had now gone into overdrive attacking all his major organs. His liver, kidneys, lungs and heart were being attacked by the spike proteins created by this deadly vaccine. He was put on 24 hour dialysis and then had to be put on a ventilator. He died 06/24/2021.

Died 4 days after shot from blood clots in my lungs. No history of clotting before this. Did have Covid asyptomatic back in January. So not sure whether having had Covid caused the clotting. Having the vaccine or being out of work with torn meniscus. They think clots started in my legs and ended up in my lungs. I was brought back after coding for 6 minutes. They seem to think Covid caused it. Not sure if vaccine contributed or not. But it did happen 4 days after the shot.

MI, symptoms started 2 hours after immunization; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable physician. A 64-year-old male patient received the first dose of bnt162b2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, Solution for injection), intramuscularly, administered in the right arm on 14Apr2021 (Batch/Lot Number: EW0161) as a single dose for COVID-19 immunization. The vaccination facility type was reported. Relevant medical history included obstructive sleep apnea on CPAP; hypogonadism on bioTE; depression; history of (h/o) pneumonia; colon polyps; recurrent sinusitis; erectile dysfunction; MTHFR Mutation C677T Heterozygous; low high density lipoprotein (HDL); dyslipidemia; lumbar disc disease; and sciatica; all from an unknown date and unknown if ongoing. Concomitant medications included bupropion hydrochloride (WELLBUTRIN XL); anastrozole; celecoxib (CELEBREX); levothyroxine, liothyronine (NP THYROID); and escitalopram oxalate (LEXAPRO); all taken for an unspecified indication, start and stop date were not reported.

My husband who is 64 years old, was a previously in good health. Only history was mild cardiomyopathy diagnosed 12 years ago. And elevated blood pressure, which was normal with medications. He was very active, maintained a demanding full time job and was a great husband of 2 children. He received his 2nd dose of Pfizer on approximately 4/1/21. He didn?t complain of any side effect. However, on the morning of 4/27/21 he woke me up saying that he could not breath. We started driving to the hospital, however he got worse and we stopped at the fire station. They gave his oxygen and rushed him to the hospital. We came to hospital and when the fire truck was pulling in, I was told that my husband went into pulseless electrical activity. CPR was started and after approximately 5 minutes he regained pulse. He was taken to the ICU and therapeutic hypothetic protocol was completed. Since then, he is still requiring mechanical ventilation. He opens his eyes spontaneously, at times appears to obey small commands and is bedridden.

36 hours following injection of my second Pfizer COVID vaccine on 3/21/21, I suffered an afib episode lasting 15 hours starting in the early morning hours of 3/23/21. I then experienced another episode of afib lasting 19.5 hours on 4/10/21. On 4/16/21, I suffered my third afib episode following my second injection, which lasted three hours. As I was converting to a normal sinus rhythm on that day, I went into sudden cardiac arrest for 10-20 minutes and was transported to the local hospital emergency room via ambulance where I was held for approximately 24 hours for observation and testing. Since that sudden cardiac arrest event, I have experienced two more afib episodes to date, one on 4/26/21 lasting 8 hours and one on May 5, 2021 lasting 6.5 hours. While I have experienced afib in the past due to a virus attacking my heart in 2018, I had not had any afib episodes for 14 months and had built my ejection fraction back up to 60-65% over a three-year period. I have never experienced afib episodes with such frequency since my initial conversion to sinus rhythm three years ago following the virus attacking my heart until I received the second dose of the Pfizer COVID vaccine along with never, ever experiencing sudden cardiac arrest following the second dose of the Pfizer COVID vaccine.

Acute respiratory failure with hypoxia; Acute respiratory failure with hypoxia; Couldn't breathe; Pneumonia due to MRSA/Ground glass pneumonia; weak; lost 20 pounds; fever; Cough; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable consumer (the patient himself). A 64-year-old male patient received the second dose of BNT162b2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, Lot number EN6208, Exp 30Jun2021) via an unspecified route of administration in arm left on 16Apr2021 11:00AM (at the age of 64-year-old) at single dose for COVID-19 immunisation. Relevant medical history included heart disease ongoing from 1997 (this happened in 1997 and the patient had been living with it for a little while), heart attack, pacemaker defibrillator because of cardiac arrest (in 2011), atrial fibrillation (diagnosed a little while, he was not sure and had been in and out of the hospital and to heart doctor quite a bit) and hypertension. The patient was administered with first shot of BNT162b2 (Lot number EW0153) in left shoulder on 16Mar2021 11:00AM (at the age of 64-year-old). Concomitant medications were not reported. On 16Apr2021 after the second dose, the patient was fine. There were no reactions after the first dose, but the second dose two days after he started developing a cough and fever. He thought it was a side effect but then ended up in the ER with pneumonia. They gave him antibiotics and sent him home. He went through the antibiotics and went back because he was still sick and not responding. They gave him more antibiotics and sent him home. He went through that batch and ended up really bad so he had to call an ambulance a few weeks later. He was diagnosed with MRSA Pneumonia and stayed in the hospital for 5 days. Then, he was discharged. He went back to the ER again a few days later because he did not seem to be improving. He was coughing and was weak. He was given another batch of antibiotics. He did not know if it was from the shot or what - he was healthy until then. The patient added that she lost 20 pounds and confirmed that it was following the vaccine. Two days after the vaccine, maybe it was 19Apr2021, he had a fever and it was now gone (exact dates were unknown). Cough happened at the same time of the fever but it was not as bad, and then progressively got worse. His lungs started filling up. They thought it was COVID. by the x-rays it looked like COVID lung but they took a sample and it was MRSA (exact dates were unknown). His admission was 18May2021 and was for acute respiratory failure with hypoxia. Discharge paperwork said acute chronic combined systolic diastolic congestive heart failure but he has had that for many years. It also stated primary hypertension but he has had that. The paperwork sayid pneumonia due to MRSA and pneumonia due to unspecified organism. He was hospitalized 18May2021 through 23May2021 with pneumonia and the reason he was hospitalized was because he could not breathe. Lost 20 pounds: after he started getting sick from the beginning of it all, he was coughing and losing weight and all that. It may not be quite 20 pounds, maybe 17, but he just knew that he was down quite a bit. He was 160s now, he was high 170s before (as reported). Treatment included Lasix and all kinds of different antibiotics. They were giving him, he did not know what it was, at first. Then, they narrowed it down and once they found out it was MRSA they gave him Clindamycin he believes. Investigations: they did CT scans, chest X-rays, and labs but he does not know any information. Each time they did a chest x-ray, when he went to get a chest x-ray, each one was worse all the way up to when he was admitted. When he went, they did a bronchial scope or whatever, he was not sure, and they saw lots of swelling and infiltrate. He did not know what this meant, stuff was infiltrating into the tissue and it was not just in the airways. He added it looked like ground glass pneumonia is what they said. The patient added that he was usually pretty active and cannot do anything anymore. He had three or four Covid tests, all negative, no additional details provided. Outcome of the events was unknown. Follow-up attempts are needed. Further information is expected.

Add then he had various medical care to keep him alive those two days. The doctor confirmed that he had myocarditis from a virus. He was still on mediation for his heart. The patient also mentioned his memory comes and goes now. Mentions the beta blocker his is prescribed is Metoprolol 25mg.

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

The patient was hospitalized for congestive heart failure from 10Jul2021 to an unknown date. The patient underwent lab tests and procedures which included blood pressure: keeps spiking in Jul2021. The outcome of the events was unknown. Clinical course: The caller was a pharmacist calling in regards to her brother. The caller did not know if this has any correlation. The callers brother received the first dose Pfizer Covid Vaccine, a day later all the typical side effects of flu like symptoms occurred. Had to get up in the middle of the night to raise arms because couldnot breathe: The caller's brother had to get up in the middle of the night to raise his arms because he couldnot breathe. The caller states this occurred the second night after the caller received the first dose Pfizer Covid Vaccine. The caller did not know specifically what time this occurred. The caller told her brother to go to a hospital. The callers brother had every excuse not to go the hospital. Later that evening, the caller called her brother to check on him. The caller's brother was having more symptoms, the brother had dizziness. This was not just typical Pfizer Covid Vaccine symptoms. Ended up in the hospital with congestive heart failure: The patient ended up in the hospital with congestive heart failure. The hospital is still having trouble, this is the patient's second or third day in the hospital. The hospital is having trouble maintaining the patients blood pressure, the blood pressure keeps spiking. This could be coincidental. The caller is asking if anything different is presenting after receiving the Pfizer Covid Vaccine? The caller would like to present this information to the doctor if so. Is there any correlation at all? The caller states she knows there have been incidents of myocarditis, but the caller's brother is not a youngster, the patient is going to be 65 in less than a month. Received first dose vaccine, a day later all the typical side effects of flu like symptoms occurred: The caller states this occurred after the patient received the first dose Pfizer Covid Vaccine. The symptoms have gone away after the third day. The caller has not asked the specific question if the patient recovered with lasting effects or recovered completely and does not know. Had to get up in the middle of the night to raise arms because couldnot breathe: When asked when this began the caller states her brother must have had the first dose Pfizer Covid Vaccine on Friday, 09Jul2021, or it could have been Thursday, 08Jul2021. The caller called the patient on 10Jul2021. When asked if this was ongoing or went away, the caller replies the patient continued with other symptoms that happened. The caller was concerned the brother may have had an emboli, all sorts of things. The caller advised the brother to go to the hospital. Had dizziness: When asked when the patient's dizziness began, the caller states she can not answer that exactly. The caller clarifies the dizziness occurred after the patient received the first dose Pfizer Covid Vaccine. The patient had only received one dose of the Pfizer Covid Vaccine so far. The caller is not sure if the patient has been advised to receive the second dose Pfizer Covid Vaccine or whether this is something totally different. When the patient was having flu like symptoms he was also having dizziness. The dizziness became different the second day at night time at 1930 pacific time, the patient told the caller he went out to the car and got so dizzy and light headed and couldn't breathe. The patient was bringing groceries inside and got winded. It was not normal. Ended up in hospital with congestive heart failure: The caller states the patient was hospitalized yesterday 12Jul2021, the caller then clarifies, no it was Saturday night, 10Jul2021 the patient was admitted to the hospital. The patient is still hospitalized at this time. The caller states she asked the cardiac nurse at the hospital and the cardiac nurse says she thinks this has nothing to do with the Pfizer Covid Vaccine. The caller is not sure and has heard so many different reports. Causality: When asked causality for each symptom, the caller replies, she certainly thinks the flu like symptoms are related to the first dose Pfizer Covid Vaccine. The caller does believe something must have happened to cause his condition to spiral down hill. The patient had some symptoms prior to receiving the first dose Pfizer Covid Vaccine but these were all manageable and not a problem. The caller doesn't know if the patient having the flu like symptoms may have put extra stress on the patient's heart. Had to get up in the middle of the night to raise arms because couldn't breathe: The caller considers this life threatening. Had dizziness: The caller states when the patient had dizziness at night, the caller considered it life threatening. The patient had other dizziness and blurred vision and inability to breathe and it was clearly cardiac issues. blurred vision: The caller does not know when this began. The caller states when her brother called at 1930 on 10Jul2021, that is when he had the blurred vision, the caller does not know if the caller had the blurred vision before and can't answer that question. The caller does not know if the blurred vision is ongoing at the moment. The caller knows the blurred vision had mostly gone away, the caller does not know if any of the blurred vision has come back, she believes it is gone. The caller considers the blurred vision life threatening. Date of first dose: The caller is unable to provide the date the patient received the first dose Pfizer Covid Vaccine. The caller states she would have to be in touch with the patient. It was either 08Jul2021 or 09Jul2021. ~ Information on the lot/batch number has been requested.; Sender's Comments: Based on known drug safety profile, there is reasonable possibility of causal association between the event headache, fatigue, joint pain, muscle pain and the suspect drug BNT162B2.

Patient was recently hospitalized for pulmonary embolism with acute cor pulmonale. First noticed increased shortness of breath on 4/4/21 when shoveling mulch and describes feeling "more winded than usual" with physical activity. He presented to the outpatient primary care clinic on 4/6/21 for evaluation and serum labs and TTE were ordered. Labs were notable for a WBC 13.22 and Cr 0.76. TTE showed hyperdynamic LV function with EF >65% and no tricuspid regurgitation with no concern for right heart strain. A follow-up d-dimer was ordered and returned at 1661 resulting in the recommendation to present to the ED. Upon presentation to the ED, he was hemodynamically stable with an SpO2 of 97% on room air. CT Chest PE protocol was ordered and showed multiple bilateral lobar, segmental, and subsegmental PE with findings suggestive of right heart enlargement was well as areas of pulmonary hemorrhage and developing infarcts. He was given a heparin bolus and he was admitted to the Adult Hospitalist Service. The following morning, patient's hemoglobin remained stable and he continued to feel clinically well. He was transitioned from the heparin infusion to subcutaneous enoxaparin. He was discharged on 4/9/21 with a plan for self-injection of enoxaparin and close follow-up with his PCP.

I have had Paroxysmal AFib since 2012 and had an ablation in 2016. It cured the Afib about 90-95 percent, but I still get intermittent episodes, ALWAYS brought on by some catalyst, (alcohol, sexual relations, drinking a cold beverage, exercise). However, appr. two weeks after the vaccine, I began getting random bouts of Afib, longer in episodes, but shorter in duration. Since the vaccine, I have had appr. 12+ episodes of Afib, occurring at various times, even at rest. Since the ablation, I got about 12 episodes per year, now it's been 12 episodes in 2 months. Sometimes, I'll get several episodes a day, at random times for no reason. This has been totally opposite of what I was experiencing pre-vaccine. What concerns me is that the episodes are random and there are not catalysts to bring them on.

Stroke; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable consumer. A 65-year-old male patient received the second dose of bnt162b2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, solution for injection), via an unspecified route of administration on 22Mar2021 09:00 (Batch/Lot Number: EN6207) as single dose for COVID-19 immunisation. Medical history included ongoing high blood pressure, bleeding ulcer and helicobacter pylori infection both from 15Feb2021, and ongoing tumor on his heart. Concomitant medication included lisinopril taken for high blood pressure. The patient previously took the first dose of bnt162b2 in the left arm on 26Feb2021 (lot number: EN6203) for COVID-19 immunisation. Right before he had his first shot, he was in the hospital on 15Feb2021 with a bleeding ulcer and a helicobacter pylori infection. He had been in the hospital and isn't sure what all they gave him then. The patient started lisinopril 4 or 5 years ago when he was diagnosed with high blood pressure. His blood pressure was under control with the lisinopril but the patient is no longer on it. The patient's father had a stroke when he was 42 but he had high blood pressure and didn't get it treated. The patient got up around 07:00 in the morning on 27Mar2021. The patient's wife got up at 08:30 when she realized something was wrong. The patient said when he got up around 07:00, he experienced his right side being numb. The patient went to the emergency room and was treated there. He had a stroke. The patient was hospitalized from 27Mar2021 to 30Mar2021. The patient's wife doesn't know if it has anything to do with the shot. After his stroke, they put him on "carvilo". When the patient was in the hospital for the stroke, they found other issues. He has a tumor in his heart that's a pretty good size and the doctor said it had been there for awhile. So, they put her husband on "carvilo" to help with his blood pressure and his heart. She doesn't think the tumor had anything to do with the shot because the doctor did say the size of the tumor was as big as it was because it had been there a while. They found the tumor while trying to find out why he had the stroke. They still haven't found a reason as to why he had the stroke. The tumor is on the right side of his heart and they said they didn't think that had anything to do with the stroke. The tumor was found on 28Mar2021. They did an MRI and a CT scan on his head when he was in the emergency room (ER) on 27Mar2021. They also did an ultrasound on his heart, chest, and abdomen. Since he's been out, they did an MRI on his heart. They also did X-rays on his lungs. He is getting ready to go back to the hospital for open heart surgery on 07May2021. Outcome of the event was unknown.

Cerebral venous thrombosis; bilateral intracerebral hemorrhage in the left, greater than the right; tonic-clonic seizure; brain swelling/cerebral edema; headaches; overall imbalance/having balance problems; he had a decline; kind of getting worse/ had the worst symptoms; His prostate is enlarged; patient's mental status is altered; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable physician. A 65-year-old male patient received BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE), dose 2 via an unspecified route of administration on 25Feb2021 (Batch/Lot Number: EN6203) as 0.3 ml single for COVID-19 immunisation. Patient age at vaccination was 65 years old. Medical history included hyperlipidemia and high cholesterol. Historical vaccine included 1st dose of BNT162B2 (LOT: EL3247) on 03Feb2021 for COVID-19 immunisation. Concomitant medication included pravastatin (strength: 10 mg) taken for an unspecified indication from an unspecified start date and ongoing. Reporter did not know all of the symptoms that the patient had and cannot get the history, because the patient's mental status was altered (from unknown date in 2021). It was reported that he was having symptoms for at least 2 weeks with some increasing over the last 2 weeks. Knew that he had an overall imbalance and was having headaches, both from unknown date in May2021. He had been having symptoms for weeks and went to his doctor as an outpatient. He had initial imaging that was concerning and he went to the hospital because he had a decline (from unknown date in 2021). He had declined and had a hemorrhagic hemorrhage with cerebral venous thrombosis, both from 04Jun2021. He was admitted to the hospital 04Jun2021, and 05Jun2021 he was transferred to the ICU. He had declined since his initial presentation and had been kind of getting worse over the last couple of weeks. Stated the patient was stoic and does not have a lot of medical problems, but everyone knew he was having symptoms over the last 2 weeks. 02Jun2021 he had the worst symptoms and was basically having balance problems. He was getting concerned and had called to get an appointment with his primary care physician. They had done an outpatient CT scan which found the cerebral venous thrombosis and he went to the hospital and was placed on Heparin. While in the hospital, he had a generalized tonic-clonic seizure and had further decline on 04Jun2021. Repeat imaging showed that he had bilateral intracerebral hemorrhaging, the left greater than the right, and they had expanded a bit. He was still on heparin and now (Jun2021) had some cerebral edema due to it but was not on a ventilator. He was still in the time period where he was continuing to have small declines. He was therapeutic on heparin. He had a central line and was getting hypertonic saline for the brain swelling and cerebral edema. Patient previous health condition was reported as he did not have a real significant past medical history. He maybe carried a diagnosis of hyperlipidemia and high cholesterol. He was pretty healthy; regularly went to the doctor and was otherwise pretty stable. Reporter did not even think his LDL was that high. He had never been on any blood thinners or anything like that. They did a full scan to look for cancer and had no history of blood clots. They did a scan that was negative for any types of masses or any concerns for cancer. His prostate was enlarged (from unknown date in 2021) and they had spoken to the family about it and they said he had been worked up with a biopsy which had been negative. Physician Office? Yes, He was directly admitted to the hospital from primary care. He presented to the clinic because he had these symptoms and headaches. The imaging was done and then he was admitted. He never went through the emergency room. Cerebral venous thrombosis, bilateral intracerebral hemorrhage, overall imbalance/having balance problems, he had a decline, headaches resulted in Physician Office Visit. Outcome of cerebral venous thrombosis, bilateral intracerebral hemorrhage was not resolved; outcome of tonic-clonic seizure, brain swelling/cerebral edema, headache, overall imbalance/having balance problems, he had a decline, kind of getting worse/ had the worst symptoms, enlarged prostate and mental status was altered was unknown. Causality: Cerebral venous thrombosis: Can't say for sure because reporter does not know the timeline but can't find any other reason, he would have cerebral venous thrombosis.; Sender's Comments: Based on the temporal relationship, the association between the events cerebral venous thrombosis, intracerebral hemorrhage, tonic-clonic seizure, and brain swelling with BNT162b2 can not be fully excluded. The impact of this report on the benefit/risk profile of the Pfizer product is evaluated as part of Pfizer procedures for safety evaluation, including the review and analysis of aggregate data for adverse events. Any safety concern identified as part of this review, as well as any appropriate action in response, will be promptly notified to regulatory authorities, Ethics Committees, and Investigators, as appropriate.

I went to the doctor the following week on 04/13/2021 and he checked me over and could not find anything. He heard some crackling in the lower part of my lungs, which he found interesting but he could not find out why I was having that pain. I left there. Before getting home he called me and said that it could be a sign of a blood clot. He had me get a CT scan, I got it in 06/14/2021. They found that I had 1 blood clot on each lung. The biggest one on the right one. They gave me blood thinners. I had fluids on my lungs. They were not able to take it all out so I might have to have surgery. The blood clots have resolved themselves with the medication.

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.

He felt slightly unwell after the first dose of vaccine but recovered after a day or two On evening of 2nd dose, he developed severe chest pain, shortness of breath, and generalized malaise, without fever or cough. He requested to see me after 5 days of symptoms getting worse such that he felt short of breath doing very little, like walking just up a few steps, or talking, I saw him on 7/19. his physical exam was grossly normal, although he reported presence of pressure on the chest and shortness of breath with walking and talking. After blood test finding elevated BNP, I tried to get him to schedule an echo, and sent Rx for diuretic. But he got too short of breath at home and called 911. When the ambulance arrived, he was not to the hospital I was affiliated with, but another hospital nearer to his home, so I have no direct assess to his record, but at the time of discharge 4 days later, I spoke to his discharging hospitalist to obtain the full medical course, in addition to his own account.

he was in AFIB for about 3 hours after receiving his first dose of the COVID19 Vaccine; he noticed the rest of the day, right up to going to bed that he felt cold; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable consumer. A 66-year-old male patient received first dose of bnt162b2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, Lot Number: EL1284) at arm, left upper, via an unspecified route of administration on 29Dec2020 06:15 at single dose for covid-19 immunisation. Medical history included atrial fibrillation (Afib) formally diagnosed around Jan2020. There were no concomitant medications. The patient reported he got the COVID-19 Vaccine at 06:15 on 29Dec2020 and had to sit for 15 minutes afterwards before he could leave. He said everything was fine, and he walked out to the hospital lobby, and was speaking with a work associate for 10 minutes before he headed to his car. When he got ready to leave, he got in his car, and started his car. He started driving home, and realized he was in AFIB. He did have an AFIB issue. His AFIB has been pretty well controlled for a year now, as long as, he didn't do something stupid. He had a moderately aggressive run of AFIB. He said his "smart" watch told him his heart rate was 117. His normal heart rate is around 60-70. He was in AFIB for about 3 hours. His typical runs of AFIB are considerably shorter. He only had a total of 2 episodes of AFIB in the last year. His prior AFIB episodes would have been about 4-5 minutes. The last time he had AFIB that lasted any length of time was when he was hospitalized for AFIB around Jan2020. He said at that time, he was hospitalized overnight for observation. He received medication during the hospitalization and his AFIB broke. He didn't remember what medications were given to him during the hospitalization. He said he had flutters before that hospitalization, but the flutters were always gone after a few minutes, so he never sought treatment because there would be nothing to treat. The patient reported he noticed the rest of the day on 29Dec2020, right up to going to bed that he felt cold. His house wasn't cold, and he didn't have a fever. He said the cold feeling went away during the night while he was sleeping. He said the cold feeling easily lasted for a 12 hours. He said the cold feeling could have been something else. The outcome of "he was in afib for about 3 hours after receiving his first dose of the covid19 vaccine" was recovered on 29Dec2020; of "he noticed the rest of the day, right up to going to bed that he felt cold" was recovered on 30Dec2020.

on 2/1/21 at ~7AM pt was noted by the RN to have rt sided weakness & was sent to Hospital ED for evaluation.

Pfizer vaccine injected 3:00 PM 3/10/21.

Wife witnessed evolution and drove directly to Hospital ER/stroke center by which time patient was vomiting and required wheelchair to enter ER. Stroke team evaluation neurologist concluded ischemic stroke and administered TPA. During TPA infusion, all symptoms resolved remarkably so that dysarthria cleared, numbness resolved and dysmetria/fine motor incoordination/right hand/arm/leg/foot symptoms were markedly improved. Patient admitted to ICU for one day and then neurocare floor for one day. MRI showed 8 mm linear diffusion weighted lesion in right centrum semiovale which was deemed c/w acute/subacute infarct. Attending neurologist in ICU and neurofloor noted that location laterality of MRI lesion did not correlate well with the right-sided patient symptoms, but could not identify other left brain lesions on review of scans. EKG, TEE and echo studies showed no cardiac lesions. Carotid studies were negative. CT and CT angio were uninformative; no hemorrhagic lesions or large vessel blockage. At discharge on 3/14/2021 around 6 PM, patient could walk, talk, and use hands essentially normally to outside observer although patient could relate intermittent brief episodes of possible numbness in lips or hands/fingers or slight heaviness of foot which is slight and decreasing. Patient discharged on atorvastatin, amlodipine, fluticasone, Loratadine, 81 mg aspirin, Ibuprofen (for headaches) for further post-stroke follow-up.

Clinical course: Consumer stated, "Well, I got my first Pfizer shot I just thought I should just call and discuss this with somebody bit of some sheet I got I got the Pfizer vaccine and I got that one on 15Mar2021 the first one and then I received the second one 02Apr2021 and when after I received the second one I had the pain in the arm like normal but it was a lot more severe than I got from the first one but it went away but you know normal 3 to 4 days it went away so I did not wasn't that concerned but I also know this to ask. After I got my skin was kind of different looking you know like aging a little bit you know like wrinkling but then all of a sudden it cleared up too that went away probably about the same time a week after I got the shot I started having vision problem(distorted voice and incomplete sentence). I visited an ophthalmologist an regular eye doctor it was an ophthalmologist (distorted voice and incomplete sentence) and he said no I don't see that you have a stroke I don't see that you have vision problems with your retina this time you probably got macular degeneration going on so anyways he said comeback if you have an issue then I said so you are telling me that even though my vision is going in my left eye I am not gonna go blind and I didn't have a stroke he said yes. Ok, so anyways exactly a month after that I went totally blind in my left eye my vision came back, my vision came back. I forgot to tell you my vision came back fully for a while but it was different in my left eye like I was seeing flash burn every once in a while when I was in the sunlight and stuff. Anyway a month later after I got the second shot when I went totally blind in my left eye and so I got upset about the doctor's here and I had to go to (Address) to pick my new eyeglasses anyway so I had to drive to (Address) with one eye which is 230 miles from me anyways, so when I got my glasses there at they were the right prescription thank god and I told them about the eye issue so they didn't throw a eye test really thorough and said yes I definitely see a problem in your left eye looks like a flash burn or something like that so then they had me setup an appointment with really good ophthalmologist in (Address) because I wanted a second opinion whether my insurance covered it or not. So I went to this retinal specialist and I was in his office for like 3 hours they were checking me out in there you know he said yes definitely you have an obstruction in the main artery of your left eye and that's why you lost your vision and this doctor said there's only two things it could be it it could be you had a stroke or that you had a bad reaction to the Pfizer vaccine and so anyway he wanted me to go either into the emergency room a good (Address) to further do testing, I said no I don't wanna do that because that's all out of my own pocket that would have been thousands of dollars you know, but I don't know I am all confused about this medical care. I am just trying to give you all a scenario from day 1 going forward you know anyway so I refused to go to good (Name) and he said well it should be okay anyway because it's been so much time since the original problem that you would be probably alright to just back to your hometown there and go to the hospital and have your testing then there I did and the next day I got back to (Address) from (Address) I went to the hospital there they did an EKG on my heart and they did a CAT scan on my head and they said they couldn't see anything from the EKG or the CAT scan that I had but that doesn't mean you didn't have(Incomplete sentence), so they said you could have a mild stroke and you know anyway we want you to go further testing well I had a primary care physician appointment two weeks later which is still coming up so I have to her so they want to order an MRI and some other tests on my heart because they think I have might have an AFib atrial fibrillation where the blockage I mean where the blood flow properly to my heart you know if I want to do those tests too but I am just letting you know this cause the one doctor said it could be that you have the eye problem because of the vaccine that's what I am calling you about." Consumer Stated, "Yes, you can follow up sure because I am more anyway cause on the 09June2021 I have an appointment with my primary care physician which is the one that have to do the order in heart chest and the MRI and the following week. I am going back to (Address) to that Ophthalmologist that said that it might because of Pfizer vaccine I am going back to him I got a follow up with him because he wants to me to take care of my eye issue so maybe I can get my eye sight back in other words or so." Date adverse event started: Consumer stated, "I had my first shot on Friday 02Apr2021. The exact day that I started having issues was exactly one week later on 09Apr2021. Other than the normal you now pain in the arms because that started and went away normal that started you know. Well that started basically right after I got the shot on 02Apr2021 with the pain and the arm thing that was right after I got the shot 02Apr2021 and it was the little bit more severe than the original shot. 09Apr2021 is when I stated having eye problem."

I had hiatal hernia repair done, so surgery. I have hypertension disorder they say, left ventricular hypertrophy which I guess has something to do with the heart, I think that's why they wanna do more test of my heart. I got polyps in colon (Further not clarified) and occasionally I get Vertigo so I have to have a colonoscopy quite often in another words to remove the polyps from my colon." Treatment medication for medical conditions: Consumer Stated, "Well they only I take Vitamin D3 and I take Vitamin C but that's vitamins basically the only meds and I am taking. I am using Eye Drops right now over the counter stuff basically the only meds I really take is Omeprazole which is for my GRD disorder you know my gas my stomach gas it controls my stomach gas and then extra strength Tylenol I take that as needed sometimes." Start date of taking the medication: Consumer Stated, "Well the Omeprazole I probably been taking that for 10 years at least 8 years or 7 years. I really couldn't give that to you without going through a pile of paper work." When asked about if consumer is taking any other medication, consumer Stated, "No, Just Omeprazole."

found down unconscious; unwitnessed fall; oxygen was in the 60s; submassive bilateral pulmonary emboli; right femoral vein emboli/ occlusive thrombus visualized in the right proximal femoral vein; some degree of right heart dysfunction; blood sugar very high; A1C elevated; Haptoglobin elevated; elevated troponin; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable nurse. A 67-year-old male patient received second dose BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, Solution for injection; Lot number was not reported) via an unspecified route of administration, at the age of 67-year-old, on 25Feb2021, as SINGLE DOSE for covid-19 immunisation. Medical history included Traumatic brain injury at the age of 29 which resulted in a CVA (right sided stroke)because the hospital did not know how to give Mannitol, behavioral problems in 2008, run over by a train in 2008, wears two AFOs (one on the left leg from having a right sided stroke, he also wears one on his left leg from having a stroke with right sided weakness, the right AFO was worn since he was 29, and then the other one he started wearing in 2008 when he was run over by a train and almost had his leg severed and he wears a left AFO), dementia diagnosed 4-5 years ago, head surgeries, depression, affective disorder, anxiety. The patient had multiple hospitalizations, and he has hyper reflexivity like all brain patients have. The patient has no history of blood clots or emboli. Concomitant medications included olanzapine (ZYPREXA) taken for depression and oxcarbazepine (TRILEPTAL) taken for affective disorder and anxiety. The patient received first dose of BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, Solution for injection; lot number not reported) single dose for covid-19 immunisation, pneumonia and flu vaccine in 2008 for immunization and has no reaction. The patient received his second dose of the vaccine on 25Feb2021 and two weeks later he was found down/ was found down unconscious at the nursing home and his oxygen was in the 60's on 15Mar2021. The nursing home did not know if her brother hit his head because it was unwitnessed. The patient was found down, not responsive, and it was an unwitnessed fall. The patient was treated as a trauma patient and that this occurred around 10 oclock on 15Mar2021. At that time, he was transferred to a local hospital to the emergency room and put on oxygen. They transferred him within 4 hours because they did not know what to do. Caller adds that the hospital thought that he had a subdural hematoma but the hospital does not have a neuro radiologist, so the hospital transferred to the other hospital that somebody with head knowledge can look at his CAT scan. The patient was misdiagnosed with a subdural hematoma because there were changes in his CT scan from his 3 previous brain surgeries. The patient had a traumatic brain injury when he was 29, and experienced changes. The patient was found to have submassive bilateral pulmonary emboli on 15Mar2021 described as central lobar sub segmental PEs in both lungs, PE was within the distal right main artery, pulmonary artery distal left main, left middle lobe, middle right lobe / upper right lower lobe and middle lobar, segmental and sub segmental pulmonary arteries. The patient also had pulmonary emboli in the distal left main pulmonary artery of left middle lobe and left lower lobe, pulmonary arteries. There was also some degree of right heart dysfunction which was diagnosed by contrast. On 15Mar2021, the patient also had right femoral vein emboli/ occlusive thrombus visualized in the right proximal femoral vein. The patient is in a nursing home, the doctor did not want to listen to the reporter because her brother is a nursing home patient and they just assume he is immobile but he is not. The patient underwent lab test and procedures which included Blood sugar very high (they think it was because of heart strain and acute injury because then it came down down down), A1C elevated, Haptoglobin elevated, elevated troponin. These results were all elevated and from acute injury. At the time of the report, the patient is feeling better and needs less oxygen. The events found down unconscious, unwitnessed fall and oxygen saturation low, pulmonary embolism, right femoral vein emboli/ occlusive thrombus visualized in the right proximal femoral vein, and some degree of right heart dysfunction caused hospitalization from 15Mar2021 to 18Mar2021. The reporter absolutely does believe the events and the suspect drug are correlated. Outcome of found down unconscious, unwitnessed fall and oxygen saturation low, pulmonary embolism was recovered on 18Mar2021 while it was unknown for the other events.

On April 24, 2021, a vein in my arm swole up like a blood clot, the a cephalic vein. I started experiencing nerve burning and tingling in hands, arms and shoulders. The blood clot was in an area that I had damaged years ago and is now clogged. Today is 4/27/2021 and I still have the blood clot and tingling, sometimes in my face also, burning in the shoulder blades, very similar to symptoms of brachial neuritis. I am scheduled for my second shot on 5/4/2021, but thinking I may not get the shot since I am having so much trouble. I have an appointment schedule with a vascular doctor to have an arterial dopler on 5/6/2021, and have the vascular doctor advise.

severe grand mal seizures; he only has half of his memory; some of his levels were high last week in his bloodwork; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable consumer (patient's wife). A 67-year-old male patient received the second dose of BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, lot number: ER8730 and expiration date not provided) via an unspecified route of administration, administered in left arm on 30Mar2021 13:10 as a single dose for COVID-19 immunisation. Medical history included ongoing hypothyroid which he have had for 15 years. Concomitant medication included ongoing levothyroxine for hypothyroid which he had been taking for too long to remember, over 10 years. The patient took the first dose of BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, lot number: EN6206) in the left arm on 08Mar2021 for COVID-19 immunization. The patient did not receive any other vaccine within 4 weeks prior to the COVID vaccine. The reporter (patient's wife) called about the Pfizer vaccine for COVID 19. She called to report that her husband almost within 24 hours after receiving his second vaccine, he a had severe grand mal seizure and had to be hospitalized from 31Mar2021 to 02Apr2021. She confirmed that he have had severe grand mal seizures on 31Mar2021. She said that he did not regain conciousness afterwards and that this was within 24 hours after receiving the 2nd vaccination. When probed for end date, the reporter stated that they could not find anything wrong with him. She said he only has half of his memory on an unspecified date. There was a lasting memory effect. He is on seizure medications, he is not allowed to drive for 1 month because he had the seizure, he has a zoom call meeting with his doctor on 19Apr2021. She says not driving is a problem, he is trying to work from home. She said upper arm for shot location then consulted her husband in the background who said both shots were in his left arm. She said he takes low dose thyroid medication. She consulted her husband in the background for some information. After giving some information she says no he doesn't take anything else. He is never sick and he's never ever been hospitalized. This is his first time ever. She said her son says when the body gets into that condition, it enters fight-or-flight, he went into fight, 5 firefighters had to hold him so they could give him the calm-you-down medications in the ambulance. One was his son, he said that he had the power of 10 men. She said her husband doesn't remember any of it. She says he is very healthy. For investigation, she said, well everything turned out negative. She says he had a CT scan, MRI, EEG, bloodwork, urinalysis on an unspecified date in 2021 and they can't find anything wrong. She said that they just said everything was normal. She said some of his levels were high last week, on an unspecified date in 2021 in his bloodwork and his doctor wanted him to do bloodwork again in 3 weeks. She said several things were high. The events required a visit to emergency room. She said that the fire department took him. She did not visit the physician office until after he got out of the hospital where he saw his primary doctor. She said she wanted to include on the report that it scared the crap out of her. She said, she was holding his neck up and tilting his head up to make sure he was getting air. She wanted to let everyone know what happened. The outcome of the event Grand mal seizure was recovered with sequelae on an unspecified date while the outcome of the rest of the events was unknown.

Thrombocytopenia; He had clot in the legs and in the lungs; He had clot in the legs and in the lungs; Low platelet count; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable Other-HCP. A 67-years-old male patient received BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE), via an unspecified route of administration on an unspecified date (Batch/Lot number was not reported) as SINGLE DOSE for covid-19 immunisation (Age at vaccination: 67 years). Medical history included diabetes. Concomitant medication(s) included atorvastatin (LIPITOR [ATORVASTATIN]); colecalciferol (VITAMIN D [COLECALCIFEROL]); lisinopril; insulin taken for diabetes mellitus. The patient experienced thrombocytopenia, he had clot in the legs and in the lungs and have a low platelet count on an unspecified date. The patient was hospitalized for the events on an unspecified date. The patient underwent lab tests and procedures which included CBC: unknown result on 08Apr2021, Heparin associate antibody: unknown result, comprehensive metabolic panel (CMP): unknown result and platelet count: low on an unspecified date. Therapeutic measures were taken as a result of thrombosis included Heparin drip and Argatroban. Outcome of the events was unknown. Information about lot/batch number has been requested.; Sender's Comments: The reported events are considered unrelated to BNT162B2 vaccine, being rather intercurrent occurrences. Clots in the legs and in the lungs were likely favored by the mentioned diabetes and by a possible hyperlipidemia (the patient was taking atorvastatin) in a setting of possible arterial hypertension (the patient was taking lisinopril). 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.

typical reported symptoms that mimic COVID; I went into a-fib; itchy inner arm; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable other HCP (healthcare professional/patient). A 67-year-old male patient received the second dose of BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 MRNA VACCINE; solution for injection; Lot Number: EP7534) via an unspecified route of administration in the left arm on 24Mar2021 (at the age of 67-years-old) as a single dose for COVID-19 immunisation. Medical history was reported as none. It was reported that the patient had no known diseases or conditions. The patient had no known allergies. The patient was not diagnosed with COVID-19 prior to vaccination. Concomitant medications ("other medications in two weeks") were reported as no. It was reported that the patient was not on any medications prior to the adverse events. The patient did not receive any other vaccines within 4 weeks prior to the BNT162B2 vaccine. The patient previously received the first dose of BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 MRNA VACCINE; solution for injection; Lot Number: EL9266) via an unspecified route of administration in the right arm on 03Mar2021 (at the age of 67-years-old) as a single dose for COVID-19 immunisation and experienced sore arm. On 25Mar2021 at 08:45 the patient experienced I went into a-fib and itchy inner arm and on an unspecified date the patient experienced typical reported symptoms that mimic COVID. The clinical course was reported as follows "I had just sore arm after shot 1, but after shot 2 I went into a-fib. I also had the typical reported symptoms that mimic COVID and itchy inner arm." The adverse events I went into a-fib and itchy inner arm resulted in a physician office visit and the event I went into a-fib required treatment with blood thinner and calcium blocker. The patient was tested for COVID-19 post vaccination on 07Apr2021 with a nasal swab which was negative. The clinical outcomes of the events I went into a-fib and itchy inner arm were not recovered/not resolved and the clinical outcome of typical reported symptoms that mimic COVID were unknown.; Sender's Comments: Based on the current available information and the plausible drug-event temporal association, a possible contributory role of the suspect product BNT162B2 to the development of event Atrial fibrillation cannot be excluded. The 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.

A 67-year-old male patient received the first dose of BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, Batch/Lot Number: ER8730), via an unspecified route of administration, administered in left arm on 30Mar2021 10:45 as single dose for COVID-19 immunization. Medical history included knee surgery, dislocated shoulder (he has dislocated that shoulder in the past several times but had no recent issues), carpal tunnel syndrome and, rheumatoid arthritis, all from an unknown date and unknown if ongoing. There were no concomitant medications. In Mar2021, the patient experienced pain in the arm opposite where he received the injection. He reported he like had a muscle tear that it has an intense excruciating pain. He took three aspirin and put a heating pad on it that didn't touch it. He then reported that the pain went to his knee and it "got all blow up" and stated that that knee had to be drained. He then stated that the calf on his other leg "got messed up" and was found to have a blood clot as well as fluid on that knee. He reported that it was as stiff as a board and that he could not walk on either of his knees for a couple of days. He reported that he still has problems with the one knee that "blew up" and had to be drained but stated that the inflammation in the calf where blood clot was has receded and is back to normal.

Shot administered Wednesday morning. Sore arm, but not particularly bad. Thursday and Friday I was feeling a little fatigued, and took a nap (very unusual for me) Friday. That night i felt a little strange, light-headed. Saturday around 10 AM I developed a moderate headache, and then was mildly short of breath, and most concerning, a little bit of afib. My heartbeat was steady (nothing like the afib I first had about seven years ago or so), but I missed about seven or eight beats in a minute (my pulse is usually around 60). That was not regular. My wife thought I might be having a migraine (I have had about five in my life), but if so it was very mild. On her advice I had about a quart of water over a couple of hours, and both symptoms resolved. Currently fine.

I had no reactions after my first Pfizer injection. 2 Days after my second injection my right calve started to hurt. This grew increasingly worse each day to where walking was painful. A week later on Monday, March 15 my left knee started to hurt and then my left calf. On Tuesday, March 16 I went to the Hospital Emergency room. They did a number of tests and one of them was ultrasound of both of my legs. They found DVTs in both legs and started me on Lovenox injections. About 5 years ago I had a DVT in my right leg but never had any pain or other adverse symptoms from this DVT. Also I was taking Xarelto to prevent any further DVTs. On Saturday, March 20 I went back to the ER because my leg pain was still bad. They did new leg ultrasounds and the DVTs were gone. My left knee still hurts and my doctor is trying to find out why. Anyway none of this may be related to the vaccine, but everyone is curious of why I would get these new DVTs when I was taking Xarelto daily and I had never had a problem for 5 years. The other odd thing is that i had so much pain when my prevous DVT had no pain symptoms. So now I am continuing the Lovenox injections and we are trying to determine why my left knee is still in so much pain. It might be something like arthritis in that knee but it seems like such a coincedence that it happened at the same I got these DVTs and I have no history of joint pain anywhere in my body, not even any back pain.

Chills; seems to have some kind of hypothermia/kept reading 94.7; hemorrhoids; pulmonary embolism in his right lower lobe; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable pharmacist (patient). A 68-year-old male patient received bnt162b2 (BNT162B2), dose 2 via an unspecified route of administration on 03Mar2021 (Batch/Lot Number: EN6198; Expiration Date: 30Jun2021), at the age of 68-years at vaccination, as SINGLE DOSE for COVID-19 immunisation. Medical history included paraplegic, he has been paralyzed for 45 years. The patient received first dose of the vaccine on 10Feb2021 with lot number: EN5318, expiration 31May2021. There were no concomitant medications. The patient went on Monday to the ER for an unrelated condition and they did a CT scan and found a blood clot, a pulmonary embolism in his right lower lobe. He confirms the pulmonary embolism was diagnosed on Monday, 15Mar2021. He got home that night and read the headline in the (Withheld) times that said several European countries are pulling the Astra Zeneca vaccine over concerns about blood clots even though there has not been any causal relationship found. He thought that with the drug companies, they should be able to have data regarding potential adverse effects for Pfizer so he was calling report that. He discusses it with the ER doctor and he couldn't really figure out why he had a blood clot, it was incidental to what he was being scanned for, it surprised him. They put him on Eliquis so he is on an anticoagulant, which will cost him a fortune. Today will be the third day he has been on the Eliquis. He is at home and he would say his only concern is that he does have hemorrhoids so when he has bowel movement tomorrow, because he doesn't go every day, but when he goes he is concerned if he starts to bleed that the anti-coagulant might cause the bleeding to be more significant than it usually is. No further information provided. His only other concern is he seems to have some kind of hypothermia, he is not entirely sure because of his thermometer is not very good. That is the reason he went into the Emergency Department because it kept reading 94.7 and he googled it and it said if it is below 95 it is a medical emergency and go to the ER so he got to the Emergency Department and it was 97.6 and now he checked his temperature again with the thermometer and it was 96.8 so either he has a faulty thermometer or something but he is experiencing some kind of chills. The outcome of the events was unknown.

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.

stomach pain last about for 2 or 3 days, stomach pain came back after second dose; The pain was so bad he couldn't stand up.; The x-ray showed he had a big black spot in his stomach and the doctor told him it was a blood clot.; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable consumer (patient) and a physician. A 68-year-old male patient received the first dose of BNT162B2 (PFIZER COVID-19 VACCINE, lot number: EN6198) on 26Feb2021, and the second dose of BNT162B2 (lot number: EN6208) in arm on 19Mar2021 , both at the age of 68 years old at single dose for covid-19 immunisation. Medical history was none. The patient's concomitant medications were not reported. The patient previously received flu vaccine in Oct2020 or Nov2020. The patient had his first dose of BNT162B2 on 26Feb2021 and about 4 days later he had stomach pain on 02Mar2021. It lasted about 2 or 3 days then the stomach pain let up. The patient thought the stomach pain was over. Then the patient received his second dose of BNT162B2 and in about the same amount of time after receiving BNT162B2, the stomach pain came back. On Mar2021, the pain was so bad he couldn't stand up. The patient went to the doctor and he was given 4 ground up Aspirin to take. The patient screamed when the doctor pressed on one spot of his stomach. The patient was taken to the x-ray room and his stomach was x-rayed. He was asked where the pain was and when the doctor pushed on that spot, his back arched up in the air because it hurt. The x-ray showed he had a big black spot in his stomach and the doctor told him it was a blood clot. The doctor on call said it was a blood clot and his regular doctor told him it was a blood clot. The doctor's determined the blood clot was from BNT162B2 because the blood clot happened right after he received the vaccine. Besides his regular doctor who is listed in the formal field, he also saw another doctor when he went in that day with the stomach pain. He was told his regular doctor was busy and he had to see another doctor. The patient didn't have any blood drawn at the doctor just the x-ray of his stomach. The doctor said he had a blood clot, a black spot, about the size of a silver dollar in his stomach. The doctor clamped her index finger and thumb together in a circle to show him how big the black spot was. The x-ray technician and two doctors told him it was a blood clot. He had the 4 aspirin ground up and the doctor told him the aspirin got rid of the blood clot. He also took some pills for 2 to 3 days but he can't recall the name of the pills. He says the x-ray tech zeroed in on the spot that was causing him pain in his stomach. The outcome of events was unknown. No follow-up attempts are needed. No further information is expected.; Sender's Comments: Considering the temporal association, a causal association between administration of BNT162B2 and the onset of blood clot cannot be fully excluded. The impact of this report on the benefit/risk profile of the Pfizer product is evaluated as part of Pfizer procedures for safety evaluation, including the review and analysis of aggregate data for adverse events. Any safety concern identified as part of this review, as well as any appropriate action in response, will be promptly notified to Committees and Investigators, as appropriate.

diagnosed with blood clots in the lungs; Coughing; diagnosed with pneumonia; She thinks that he had a blood clot in his leg that travelled. He was having leg pain, so he probably had a blood clot then; really, really sleeping; really bad leg pain; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable pharmacist (patient's wife). A 68-year-old male patient received the second dose of BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, lot number: ER8729, initially reported as FR8729 then stated it is an E) via an unspecified route of administration on 03Apr2021 around 10:00 or 11:00 am (68-year-old at time of vaccination), at single dose, for COVID-19 immunization. The patient's medical history included high blood pressure (also reported as family medical history), ongoing eurofibromatosis (Has had all of his life), varicose veins, overweight, rheumatoid arthritis. Concomitant medications included ongoing etanercept (ENBREL) for rheumatoid arthritis (Has been on a few years but does not remember how long exactly). The patient previously received the first dose of BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, lot number: EN6205) via an unspecified route of administration at arm on 13Mar2021 (68-year-old at time of vaccination) for COVID-19 immunization. The patient previously received flu vaccines in Oct2021 (67-year-old at time of vaccination). There were no prior vaccinations within 4 weeks. There were no additional vaccines administered on same date of the Pfizer suspect. The wife states her husband (patient) got 2 doses of the Pfizer vaccine. The middle of last month, he was complaining of really bad leg pain (from middle of May2021). He does have varicose veins and is on Enbrel and is overweight. He was really, really sleeping. She told him that he really needed to go see a doctor. The wife states she is in a rehab facility and is a pharmacist who worked at the hospital for over 34 years, mentions licenses in (states name). The wife stated she sent him to urgent care and they said he had varicose veins but had no problems with his leg. They did diagnose him with pneumonia. They sent him home on an antibiotic, Doxycycline 100mg, she didn't actually see the prescription, it was either for 7 or 10 days. He was down to one dose the day before yesterday. While he was at home, she heard him coughing (from 03Jun2021) and he couldn't stop coughing for about 5 minutes. She asked him when his follow up was and he told her not until Friday. She said he needed to see somebody so yesterday, he went to urgent care again. Three hours later they transferred him by ambulance to the hospital, he had blood clots in his lungs (from 03Jun2021). She is highly suspect of the Covid vaccine because he has never had problems like blood clots before. He was just admitted on the day before reporting (hospitalization for coughing and blood clots in the lungs from 03Jun2021 and ongoing). The wife is thinking maybe they misdiagnosed him approximately 10 days ago. She thinks that he had a blood clot in his leg that travelled. He was having leg pain, so he probably had a blood clot then, and they misdiagnosed him as pneumonia. The wife does not remember exact date but that it was in middle of May. His first trip to urgent care was 10 days before going to the hospital. Coughing started the same night, she asked him to go to the doctor Thursday morning and they sent him from urgent care to the hospital. He was admitted to the hospital and is still there now. Adverse events did not result in physician office visit; coughing and blood clots in the lungs resulted in emergency room visits; patient went to urgent care twice, second time was sent to emergency room via ambulance. Tests: They have been doing tests on him all day. They did an echocardiogram on the day of reporting (on 04Jun2021) and they are doing blood work on him. The wife does not know the results, she is a rehab facility a half a mile away. Treatment: They gave him some kind of shot. He doesn't give medication to himself. She has no idea, maybe something like Lovenox or something like that but she just doesn't know. Therapeutic measures were taken as a result of the event coughing and blood clots in the lungs and included some kind of shot; therapeutic measures were taken as a result of the event pneumonia and included antibiotic, Doxycycline. The outcome of the events was unknown. Causality assessment: The pharmacist (patient's wife) states she was highly suspect, as soon as they told him it was a blood clot in his lungs. Relatedness was assessed as related for all events.; Sender's Comments: Based on the current available information and the plausible drug-event temporal association, a possible contributory role of the suspect product BNT162B2 to the development of reported serious events cannot be totally excluded. The 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.

It was a very odd thing that happened, I was at work and dog that I was chasing pulled me over. I started bruising and knew something was off. I went to the ER and tests were run. My doctor determined that I have ITP and what it is that my immune system is killing off palates quickly and cannot clot. I'm going through Chemo Therapy and Steroids (don't have cancer) it has not been successful yet (resulted in a 4 day hospitalization). I have been having blood tests two to three times per week now and it's become a part of my life right now.

Exactly 1 week to the day I received the vaccine, I had a dental appointment where I was having work done on a crown. I was in the dentist?s chair where they took my blood pressure. My blood pressure's top number was at 188. My usual number is around 130. I got up from the dental chair and I had perspired through all my clothes and on the chair. My dental appointment was cancelled. I drove home and once home, my wife saw me and said I was totally grey. She gave me Tylenol and I went to bed and slept for 2 hours. I got up and then went back to bed and slept more again. After I woke up my wife said my color was back. I went to the ER, and then the cardiologist. I had 2 stents put in in 2000 and 2002. The EKG showed afib. This is the first time in my life that this has ever happened. They ended up sending me to another group where I was administered blood thinners. I am now on warfarin for the rest of my life. I have to go back to the hospital each week for them to check the viscosity of my blood. I then went to my internist, and then a hospital where my lungs were checked for clots. My brain was then checked via cat scan. I also just had an echocardiogram and stress test. All these tests have come back normal. The cat scan on the brain came back normal for my age

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.

Received second dose of the Pfizer COVID vaccine in AM of 3/16, having had severe adverse reactions (fever up to 104, n/v) to the first dose three weeks earlier. Experienced recurrent fevers (up to 103) beginning by the evening of 3/16, for which he took acetaminophen. Awoke at 3 AM w/ recurrent fevers, for which he took ibuprofen.

heart attack; pass blood clots in his urine; nauseous; really tired; knocked him on his butt/did not get out of bed, did not do anything for 2 weeks; couldn't stay awake/ slept for two weeks; couldn't eat anything; the sight or smell of food made him gag; bruise on his arm about the size of a half dollar where he got the shot; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable consumer. A 69-year-old male patient received the first dose of BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE; solution for injection, Lot Number: EN6201), via an unspecified route of administration, administered on the right arm at the age of 69 years, on 18Feb2021 16:00 at a single dose for COVID-19 immunisation. Medical history included known for a history of heart disease, stage 4 kidney failure and polycystic disease. He had been bleeding from the kidneys for a week prior to receiving the vaccine, heart attack and cholesterol. He stated he needs some reassurance and added he has Stage 4 kidney failure with polycystic disease. He already consulted with his heart doctor and kidney doctor and they say get the vaccine. He mentioned that every now and then he gets blood from a cyst rupture. On the day of the first shot he was having a little bit of bleeding in his urine. Concomitant medications included acetylsalicylic acid, ascorbic acid (ASPIRIN [ACETYLSALICYLIC ACID;ASCORBIC ACID]) taken for cardiac disorder; atorvastatin (ATORVASTATIN) taken for blood cholesterol abnormal; amlodipine (AMLODIPINE) taken for blood pressure abnormal and multivitamins. The first shot knocked him on his butt. He slept for two weeks then he started to pass blood clots in his urine. He read that the vaccine can cause clotting and he doesn't know if that might have caused the clots right after the shot. He just needs someone to hold his hand about getting the second shot. He has to leave in a couple of hours to get it. He was asking do we see a pattern where people have had a bad first reaction with the first shot and they don't have a bad a reaction the second time around. He clarified he received the first dose of the Pfizer COVID 19 vaccine on 18Feb2021 at 1600 in the right arm. He was fine until Saturday (20Feb2021) when he woke up nauseous; really tired; could not get out of bed; and then really didn't do anything for two weeks. He added he couldn't stay awake even sitting up in his chair. He couldn't eat anything because the sight or smell of food made him gag, even in the grocery store. He added he also noticed he started to get the blood clots in his urine the second day after the shot (20Feb2021). On 19Feb2021, he mentioned he had a bruise on his arm about the size of a half dollar where he got the shot and he usually does not bruise. He stated he felt like he had all the symptoms of COVID. All of these symptoms lasted two weeks. When he finally felt better the only thing he wanted to eat was a burger and fries. He is still bleeding but it is not clotting anymore. The clots only lasted about a week. He also thought he was having a heart attack, but was too tired to go to the hospital. After speaking to his physician/specialist, they encouraged him to go ahead and get the 2nd dose. The patient would like to know whether the benefits outweigh the risks for him to receive the 2nd dose of the Pfizer covid vaccine based on his medical history.

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. His heart rate went up to the 170s and he was given multiple doses of IV metoprolol. On labs, he had a leukocytosis with a white blood count of 12 and the D-dimer was elevated greater than 20. CTA was obtained to rule out pulmonary embolism which was negative. However, down in the scanner he developed an episode of unresponsiveness with questionable seizure symptoms. 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.

thought he was having a heart attack; It was all over his body and his left side, the pain/ left side hurts/ spread up his arm and down his hand and shoulders; left side hurts because that was where he got the shot; the first shot almost killed him, he has a defibrillator attached to his heart; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable consumer (patient himself). A 69-year-old male patient received BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, solution for injection; Batch/Lot Number: ER8732) via an unspecified route of administration, administered in left arm, on 23Mar2021 (at the age of 69 years old), as 1st dose, single, for COVID-19 immunisation. The patient's medical history included stroke, weak heart, defibrillator/pacemaker insertion, impaired eyesight/ half-blind, pneumonia, headache, and ongoing prostate. The patient had a defibrillator attached to his heart, staples in his chest, and stitches. He got a weak heart from pneumonia which gave him a stroke and led to impaired sight. Patient stated everything else was working. The reason he's blind was because pneumonia hit his heart and caused a stroke along with the medication he was being given, and it happened before getting the COVID vaccine and has nothing to do with the shot. The stroke caused blindness, and they needed to add a defibrillator to his heart because the pneumonia weakened his heart even more than it was already weak. He had a defibrillator attached to his heart 14 years ago and it got took out about 7 years ago because his heart was better. He reported he had to get another defibrillator due a problem from pneumonia. The patient missed his first appointment for the first dose as he had back trouble and a headache. He called the hospital, and they listed off if you're feeling this or this don't come. The patient wasn't feeling well, so he didn't go; he did not seek medical treatment. The patient has compromising conditions; he has a defibrillator and he take blood pressure and heart medications. Every time they tested him, he was negative for COVID and he did not test positive. Concomitant medications included tamsulosin taken for prostate, start and stop date were not reported. The patient was also taking nearly 15 pills a day; 6 in morning, 2 in the afternoon/lunch, 6 at evening time and some at night before bed. He reported that he was pill popping because of his condition and he could sell and still have more than enough for himself to take, that is how bad it is for him. The patient reported about number one and number two shots of COVID vaccine. The number one shot scared him, so he was scared of getting shot number two. He didn't know what the deal of it. He received it at the hospital on 23Mar2021 (Tuesday), and it woke him up on Wednesday morning around 2 A.M (24Mar2021) and he thought he was having a heart attack. The patient wanted the second shot, but he didn't want to get it. He wanted to know whether you have to take the first shot over again or can you take the second; he heard the second shot was worse. He missed his appointment on 15Apr2021 because the first shot scared him, and he panicked. The patient stated that the first shot almost killed him, he has a defibrillator attached to his heart, and he was scared to get the second. The patient wanted to know what the deal was, if he can take second dose safely. He stated no big deal, and he's leery after the first shot woke him up. He had a pain from Wednesday morning to Sunday afternoon, stated he had a pain grade of 6-12. The patient also stated that he has been going crazy with other things, staying away from other things, with the condition he's in, he's blind, and he stayed in the house. When he went out, he was covered. The pain lasted Wednesday through Sunday, he didn't go anywhere and makes precaution to make sure not to catch something, he's always masked and always home. The patient reported that he was having pain at times when he touches his side. When he goes to bed, he sleeps on his right side with his arm across his body laying on a foam block because that side hurts. He clarified that his left side hurts because that was where he got the shot. He was surprised, the pain was so sharp, he thought he was having a heart attack. It came from his elbow, started there and spread up his arm and down his hand and shoulders. His left side hurt when he touched and pressed down, it was a pain of 12. He thought he was having a heart attack, and it scared him, that's why he didn't get the second shot. He heard the second one was worse than the first one. If the first one made him feel he was having a heart attack, the second one would surely kill him. He was worried so he decided to stay home. He felt like a kid staying home from school. The pain went away, it just scared him for how he woke up. If he had a pain grade face in the hospital, it was off the chart. He knew how he felt and how he looked, it would be off the chart. He thought in his mind he was dying, felt like he was having a heart attack, like he was dying. It took a little bit of time, he had to calm down and find where the pain was coming from, and where it was going. Pain was coming from his elbow, across his chest and hitting his defibrillator. Patient stated this was the reason he felt he was having a heart attack. The defibrillator woke him up, it had an effect on it, it woke him up and scared him. They had to put the defibrillator in because he needed it for his heart. He thought he was having a heart attack after all this, he was bugging. His son came in, and he told his son that he was in pain. His son told him not to get the shot and believed this was why the patient was hurting. His son said the vaccine and the defibrillator caused him to feel like he's having a heart attack, the shot did something to his elbow which caused the pain and when it hit, it hit everything and he had a pain grade of 20. It woke him up and scared him. He won't say what he wanted to say, it is personal, but it scared him that much he wanted to go there. The patient was supposed to get his second dose 15Apr2021 because the first shot scared him, and he panicked, he did not because he was scared to death. The patient reported that everything began on Wednesday, the pain was gone, and he has recovered completely. Patient stated his pain grade was a 6-12. The pain in his elbow has recovered completely. He stated his elbow showed pain when it gets cold or rains, when it gets wet. Patient wanted to make sure if he gets the second shot, does he have to get the first shot again since he missed the second shot appointment. Everybody was saying to get the COVID vaccine, to prevent him from getting COVID, they wanted everyone to get vaccinated. He was unable to read his vaccine card because he was half-blind and will have someone else look at it. The patient missed his second dose appointment due to the effect of the first dose of the vaccine; he had a bad reaction from the number 1 shot and that was why he did not get the number 2 shot because of him being compromised due to his condition and the medications he takes. He had the first dose on 23Mar2021 and scheduled to get the second dose on 25Apr2021 (more than 21 days). He believed the ingredients combined this caused it, when he had the event he thought that it did bother his defibrillator, he had pain that made him think he was having a heart attack. That with the meds it may have added to the pressure he received when he got the shot, where he got the shot. His left side was bothering him, he thought he had a heart attack; his defibrillator was thumping, and he had pain that hit his elbow and his defibrillator woke him up. He knew it had to do with COVID shot. It was all over his body and his left side, the pain. His heart medication and blood pressure medication were nothing different. He had pain in his side, that he does not normally have which branched out from the elbow, to the hand, to the defibrillator. His left side was sore and he could not lay on it and could not touch it since it was so painful. Patient confirmed the pain was all down the left side and he got the vaccine in his left arm. The only last effect he was having is that he was afraid to get that second shot, he was afraid to go to sleep as he won't wake up after getting the 2nd shot or how he will going to react to it. He was paranoid in his mind to get the second shot. He reported that everything was wrong with him and that the shot had to fight with his medications and his body pain for it. He reported his body is paying the price. He felt like he was having a heart attack, pain going up and down arm, his fingers felt like needles going into his hand, like life was going back through his hand. His pain went to his chest his face was nowhere on the pain chart, his pain was like a 16 on a scale of 1 to 10. When he woke up that night it was like a 20, then if he touched his arm the pain was like a 14-16. The patient could not sleep, he could not sleep on his left side. Patient had to put a foam pad on his left side he got from his friend or sleep on his right side. That started Wednesday morning at 2 A.M to Sunday morning, he was surprised when he woke up that Sunday, he was not in pain when he woke up on his back. Patient reported he was half blind and can't find his medications. He reported he put his medications down earlier and was not sure where they were.nAround that time he went to the hospital due to breathing issues, problems breathing. He went in twice and they discharged him on their own but, he had more problems breathing. What he did not know at the time he had because he did not look at the discharge paper and no one explained them to him was that he had Pneumonia when he went to the hospital. The outcome of the events vaccination site pain, heart attack was recovered on unspecified date in 2021; while for the remaining events was unknown. Information on Lot/Batch number was available. Additional information has been requested.

Two weeks to the day of my second injection (Fe. 25) I went to an ER for atrial fibrillation, the first time in my life. After I converted, I was was sent home with prescriptions for Eliquis and Metoprolol. On Sunday March 21 I went to another ER with A-Fib and was hospitalized until Tuesday.

On January 28 around 9 am, I started feeling sick. About an hour later, I felt nauseated and then started vomiting. I vomited throughout the day, about 6 times. I assumed this was a fairly common reaction to the vaccine. The following day (Jan. 29) I felt very weak and noticed that when I signed my name, my hand felt numb and I couldn't control it very well. On Saturday, my left leg began to feel abnormal. I called a friend who is a retired doctor and he said that he had heard of some neurological reactions to the vaccine. By Sunday, I was having a difficult time walking so I called my GPs office and set up an appointment for Monday morning. As soon as she saw my face without a mask, she said that I had had a stroke. I had a slight droop on my left cheek and mouth which indicated to the doctor that a stroke had occurred. She scheduled me for a MRI the following morning, Feb. 3. As soon as the MRI was completed, my GP scheduled me with a neurosurgeon whom I was able to see the same afternoon. The diagnosis was a right medullary ischemic stroke. She ordered a number of tests to be run and scheduled me for March 9 to come back for the result of all the tests and blood work. Doctor referred me for physical therapy to help me regain the use of my left leg and hand.

Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine EUA There may be a connection between the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine and a recent heart attack that I experienced. See Continuation Page There may be a connection between the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine and a recent heart attack that I experienced. Some history: I have been experiencing pain in my upper back that frequently radiated to my chest for about four years. After visits to my primary care physician, a rheumatologist, an orthopedic surgeon, a cardiologist and a visit to the emergency room, the only consensus was that this was not cardiac related, but was probably caused by a pinched nerve in my spine. This pain occurred primarily while walking, but was light to moderate and disappeared as soon I as stopped. In December 2020, I consulted a cardiologist for heart palpitations. He recommended that I receive a calcium score test. Since this showed moderate risk in two arteries, he referred me for an echocardiogram and a nuclear stress test, both of which were normal. Based on these results, he felt that my condition was stable and recommended against catherization. I received my first Pfizer vaccine shot on 2/12/2021. The only initial side effect was a sore arm that lasted for a day. However, about two weeks after the first shot, I went for a two mile walk. Soon after I started, I experienced intense pain in my back that radiated to my chest and left arm. I returned home and the pain subsided quickly. Given my history, I attributed the pain to my supposed pinched nerve. I tried walking on a couple of successive days, with the same result. I received my second vaccination on 3/5/2021. I began to experience intense pain in my back that radiated to my chest and left arm about 16 hours later. This pain occurred despite resting the entire time. At first it was intermittent, but became steady after a couple of hours. I then decided to go to an emergent care center, where I was told that I was experiencing a heart attack. I was transferred to the emergency room at Hospital, and later admitted to the hospital where I underwent a catherization in which a stent was inserted in one artery and the other artery was unclogged. I may have contracted covid in July, 2020. At that time I experienced a mild sore throat, fatigue and body aches. A covid test (PCR) was negative. However, the sore throat persisted for several months. My primary care physician recommended against an antibody test.

HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: The patient is a 71-year-old male patient with a complex medical history with multiple problems and cancers and debilities. He received a second dose of COVID vaccine yesterday about midday. Shortly thereafter, he started having shivers and shakes. The concern that I had when he called the office was a possible bacteremia. He was sensitive emergency room for evaluation. He was noting that he was chilled and was unable to get warm. He said his temperature was up to 100.5. He had generalized weakness and inability to get up and walk and had malaise. He has no known exposures to pneumonia or other illnesses. He has basically been homebound for the past year with the COVID. He was evaluated in the emergency room and found to have an elevated white blood cell count on the right upper lobe pneumonia on portable chest x-ray. Blood cultures and urine culture were obtained since he had a urine abnormality as well. The patient was admitted to observation while we wait on cultures and we treat the pneumonia with antibiotics.

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.

Cardiac arrest; Pulmonary embolus; Renal failure; Fever; Dehydration; Not eating or drinking; COVID-19 confirmed by positive COVID-19 test / COVID pneumonia; blood clot; blood pressure was low; Respiratory arrest; Respiratory failure; Hypoxemia; ventricular tachycardia; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable nurse reporting on behalf of the husband. A 71-year-old male patient received the first single dose of BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE; lot EL9264) on 10Feb2021 at about 19:00 (at the age of 71 years), in left deltoid, for COVID-19 immunisation. No other vaccines were given on the same day or within 4 weeks. The patient declined flu vaccine and pneumococcal vaccine (PNEUMOVAX), he had never had another vaccine except maybe his childhood vaccines. Medical history included rotator cuff surgery and cataract removed in 2020. The patient exercised regularly, he was healthy, he walked for miles and didn't eat any non-sense, he did not eat out, he did not smoke. The patient's mother was 100 years old and fully competent. The patient had two sisters older than him, the oldest one had hypertension the second sister did not have anything that they were aware of. The patient's father lived until he was 98 years old. The patient concomitant medications were none. The patient was told to take vitamin D 50,000 units but didn't even take them (he still had 9 of them in the bottle and they gave him 13). The patient experienced fever on 11Feb2021, renal failure on 14Feb2021, pulmonary embolus on 28Feb2021, cardiac arrest on 04Mar2021, dehydration and not eating or drinking on an unspecified date in Feb2021. These events required ER visit and were reported as serious as involved hospitalization from 14Feb2021 to 04Mar2021 and as fatal events. The patient died on 04Mar2021. Clinical course of the events included the following information. The patient received the first vaccine on 10Feb2021, the next day he developed a fever. The reporter spoke with the patient's doctor who told to give the patient paracetamol (TYLENOL) thinking the fever was from the vaccine. On 12Feb2021 and 13Feb2021, the patient's temperature was 102. Then the doctor advised to take the patient to the hospital. The patient's temperature was still 102, he was in renal failure, and they had to dialyze him. The patient was otherwise healthy, the patient's last physical was in Dec2020 and the only thing it showed was that his A1C was 5.7. The patient had no cholesterol or hypertension. The doctor advised the patient to decrease sugar and carbs because the holidays were coming up. The patient's follow up was scheduled on Mar2021. The reporter felt that the vaccine has something to do with the patient renal failure. The reporter spoke with the doctors at the hospital who didn't want to commit to anything. The reporter believed this was an adverse event. The caller mentioned that she had her vaccine before and she was fine. The patient was admitted on 14Feb2021 and by Wednesday he was not eating or drinking, he was dehydrated. The patient's admitting diagnoses was elevated temperature and ruling out COVID. The patient tested positive for Covid on 14Feb2021 (COVID-19 PCR test). The patient's temperature was 99.8 and then kept creeping up, on Saturday it was 102. The caller gave the patient Tylenol cold and flu (lot T0CL001021, expiry date Oct2021) took the edge off but in three hours the temperature was back up again. The patient never complained of pain and didn't want to take Tylenol. On 15Feb2021 the patient's numbers were getting better after the fluid challenge and then his numbers kept creeping up after that. The patient had the fever a week until they had it under control. The fever went away, it was gone for like 5 days, then it spiked again. The patient was started on piperacillin/tazobactam (ZOSYN) for like 3 or 5 days and the fever went away but then it kept getting worse. On 28Feb2021, the medical personnel thought the patient had a pulmonary emboli but because of the renal failure, they couldn't do a computerized tomography on the patient. The doctors mentioned that the patient was in renal failure and they thought they heparinized the patient and he had a blood clot who led to pulmonary embolus, cardiac arrest, and death. The patient was diagnosed with a pulmonary emboli on 28Feb2021. The patient started de-saturating and the doctors intubated and sedated him that whole time until this. Dialysis was started on 01Mar2021 and the patient received it every day except 04Mar2021. The patient's blood pressure was normal, it hardly ever went above 120. The patient was on the medical floor from 22Feb2021 to 04Mar2021. When the patient was on the medical surgical floor, he was on high flow 5 liters. After the patient started desaturating, he went to the intensive care unit and was put on a non-rebreather on 45%. The patient's highest heart rate was after intubation was 135, but the patient's blood pressure was low so they started him on some vasopressors. They did the fluid challenge on the patient and his labs were a little better than the labs kept creeping up until the doctor inserted a shiley catheter for dialysis. Respiratory: Respiratory arrest and then cardiac arrest. Respiratory failure, they intubated the patient. The reporter assumed dyspnea because the patient was intubated. Tachypnea was when the patient was in the intensive care unit already intubated. Hypoxemia, they intubated the patient so the caller guessed it was for the oxygen saturation drop. Covid pneumonia: yes. Chest x-ray showed mild pneumonia. The caller requested a follow up x-ray and the doctors said they were going to do another one but the caller is unsure if they did or when. The patient received additional therapies for COVID-19: remdesivir. Other radiological investigations: unable because of the patient's kidney function. They were looking at the D dimer and BMP to come up with the embolus since the patient couldn't have the scan. ARDS: no. Cardiovascular: The patient had a heart attack on 04Mar2021. The reporter thought it was from the pulmonary embolus which led to cardiac arrest. Arrhythmia: the caller guessed so, the patient was being worked on for 10 minutes before the caller got there. The caller saw a rhythm strip which showed a flat line and then she noticed ventricular tachycardia, then a flat line. The patient did not have SARS-CoV2 antibodies at diagnosis. Gastrointestinal/Hepatic, neurological, hematological, dermatological: none. Vascular: pulmonary embolus: yes, deep vein thrombosis, limb ischemia, vasculitis: no. Renal: renal failure: yes, acute kidney injury: no. The patient was scheduled for his second vaccine dose on 03Mar2021 at 04:15 but did not receive it. Time of death was 4:15 in the afternoon on 04Mar2021. The reporter considered renal failure, fever, dehydration, not eating or drinking, cardiac arrest and pulmonary embolus as fatal and related to the suspect vaccine. The outcome of the other events was unknown. Cause of death was unknown. No autopsy was performed.; Sender's Comments: Based on current information available, the company considered there is a possibility that all reported events are consequence of COVID-19 pneumonia on the basis of advanced age. The positive COVID-19 test occurred 4 days after the first injection of suspect vaccine BNT162B2. No complete effect can be achieved for short time interval. The COVID-19 is more likely pre-existing colonization or intercurrent condition, unrelated to suspect vaccine BNT162b2.

The following day, Saturday, he had pressure low but not as low, again just watched and pushed fluids, and got better each day, fatigue got better that Saturday. No other incident following incident. Reporter called yesterday several people, cardiologist, transplant coordinator, PCP again to get advise and direction. She wanted to know whether this was an allergic reaction, even though it happened later, could he get the second shot, could it be worse following the second shot. The reporter was advised that their doctor/healthcare provider is in the best position to assess and advise as their doctor/healthcare provider was most familiar with the medical condition, clinical history, how the treatment had been conducted and any relevant information to the specific case.

Reporter does not know if they are willing to risk patient receiving the second dose of the covid vaccine with patients A-Fib. Reporter states that regardless of what people think of A-Fib, A-Fib increases the risk of a stroke times five. Reporter does not want to purposely put patient into A-Fib.

I was put in ICU under blood thinner Heparin drip treatment. On 5/09/21, I was discharged to go home to continue treatment with blood thinner Eliquis. I have always been an active healthy person with no major issues other than one Stent put in my Left Descending Artery by doctor in June of 2013. I've been playing Tennis (mostly singles) on weekends till last November and I've been playing Ping Pong on weekdays till end of April. Never expected to getting this PE. Could this blood clots be the result of Pfizer Covid Vaccine ?

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.

felt unwell; took his oxygen level and it was at 80%; he had swelling; difficulty breathing; tachycardia; allergic reaction; tested Covid-19 positive; blood clots; he got very sick; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable consumer(patient's daughter). A 71-year-old male patient received bnt162b2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE), dose 1 via an unspecified route of administration on 24Apr2021 (Batch/Lot number was not reported) at the age of 71-year-old as single dose for covid-19 immunisation. 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. Information on the lot/ batch number has been requested.

On 29Apr2021, the patient experienced fever, tachycardia, hypotension, acute on chronic hypoxic respiratory failure and acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. All events resulted to hospitalization (as reported). The patient was admitted for the evaluation of fever, tachycardia, and hypotension that started 24 to 48 hours after he had received first COVID-19 Pfizer vaccine on 26Apr2021. He received 1 liter of IV fluid bolus and Tylenol (paracetamol). The patient had had mild acute on chronic hypoxic respiratory failure and was placed on nasal cannula. He received solumedrol (methylprednisolone) 3 times doses. His computed tomography angiography (in 2021) revealed no evidence of pulmonary embolism or pneumonia. It was reported that the patient had an injection in his neck on 12Apr2021. On 01May2021 at 11:45, the blood pressure was 124/82 mmHg, pulse rate 71 beats/min, respiratory rate 18/min, temperature 36.7 degree Celsius, and SpO2 was 96 %. The patient improved progressively and remained hemodynamically stable. His blood culture was negative at 48 hours was discharged with a portable oxygen. On 24May2021, the patient had physician office visit for COPD, where it was reported that the patient received 2nd COVID-19 vaccine dose 7 days ago (17May2021) and felt very fatigued with some fevers for 3 days. The patient was doing better at the time of office visit. The review of system was positive for shortness of breath. The pulmonary physical examination revealed rales from right and left-lower fields. There was no Tachypnoea or respiratory distress. The cardiovascular physical examination revealed normal rate, regular rhythm, and normal pulses. The vitals examination revealed blood pressure 140/70 mmHg, pulse rate 87 beats/min, respiratory rate 16 /min, temperature 36.7 degree Celsius, and SpO2 was 95 %. The action taken in response to the events for treprostinil sodium was unknown. The patient recovered from fever on 20May2021 and was recovering from the remaining events. Case Comment/Senders Comment: The company has assessed the serious adverse event of acute respiratory failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, tachycardia, hypotension and pyrexia as not related to IH treprostinil and TD-300/A device. Acute respiratory failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease were likely due to exacerbation of underlying PAH and COPD. Pyrexia, tachycardia, hypotension were possibly a reaction to Pfizer BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine. The reporter's assessment of the causal relationship of all events with the suspect product was not provided at the time of this report. Since no determination has been received, the case is managed based on the company causality assessment. Information on the lot/batch number has been requested.; Sender's Comments: There is no reasonable possibility that the events acute respiratory failure and COPD exacerbation were related to BNT162b2. These are more likely associated with the underlying PAH and COPD. Based on the temporal relationship, the association between the events fever, tachycardia, and hypotension with BNT162b2 can not be fully excluded. The impact of this report on the benefit/risk profile of the Pfizer product is evaluated as part of Pfizer procedures for safety evaluation, including the review and analysis of aggregate data for adverse events. Any safety concern identified as part of this review, as well as any appropriate action in response, will be promptly notified to regulatory authorities, Ethics Committees, and Investigators, as appropriate.

This is a spontaneous report from a contactable consumer (patient's daughter). This consumer reported similar events for three patients. This is the first of three reports. A 71-year-old male patient received BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, Lot Number: EN6202), via an unspecified route of administration, administered in left arm on 01Mar2021 (at 71-year-old) as dose 2, single for COVID-19 immunization. Medical history included that he had the cholesterol of a twenty year old, the month prior to getting the second vaccine, he had a yearly work up of his heart and cholesterol and all that, they put a heart monitor on him to be sure everything was fine with that, and he had gotten a clean bill of health. He had never had any sort of medical situation or even surgeries until two years ago (2019), when he had a knee replacement, and he had a history of shingles, he got about fifteen years ago (2006) and they never really went away, so he's had on and off for the past fifteen years. The patient's concomitant medications were not reported. The patient previously received BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, Lot Number: EL9267), via an unspecified route of administration, administered in left arm on 10Feb2021 (at 71-year-old) as dose 1, single for COVID-19 immunisation. The patient had two strokes on 19Mar2021 (reported as eighteen days after his second vaccine) and has been in the hospital ever since. He has developed anemia, he had muscle atrophy, and he was experiencing persistent fevers. He said that its like his blood was fighting/contradicting himself and they were pretty sure that it was from the vaccine. He already had 1 blood transfusions and his white blood cells were low and his ANC (absolute neutrophil count) was normal. Caller said nothing medically makes sense. She said it's like the vaccine changed the protein in the blood. The patient has had test after test after test, has had strokes in the medulla cerebellum, his hemoglobin won't stay above seven, he's had multiple blood transfusions, with signs of inflammation and infectious disease, but nothing in his body told them. No scans, blood tests, surgery, biopsies, ultrasound, he's literally had every test. Caller added patient was dying, and they didn't know why. He remained hospital from 23Mar2021 until he went home on 15Apr2021. While in rehab, patient started developing fever of unknown origin, that they can't figure out. On 25Apr2021, the patient went to the emergency room. He was home ten days and was declining that whole time, with fever up and down, lost cognition, really confused, which they thought was a result of stroke, but he was declining rapidly. He had fell a bunch, started losing muscle, muscle started atrophying at that point. When they took him in on the 25Apr2021, it's because his blood pressure dropped, another issue that started all of this, he could not maintain his blood pressure, if he sat up and moved, it would drop. And that day when he tried to stand and it dropped and he slid down. They took him to the emergency room and he had a potassium deficiency and they gave him potassium. He went home that day after the potassium. Then on 27Apr2021, he went back to hospital, into their emergency room, and spent a couple days in the ER, but was admitted into a room once available and stayed until 15May2021, when they transferred him from there. He remained here from 15May2021 to 21May2021. They were wanting to transfer him to another hospital. The outcome of the events was unknown. No follow-up attempts are possible. No further information is expected.

A 71-year-old male patient received the 2nd dose of BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE) via an unspecified route of administration in the left arm on an unspecified date at age of 71 years old as single dose for Covid-19 immunization. Medial history included high blood pressure; heart attack in 2005 and had been fine; diabetic for years and just taking a pill for it, not that bad; covid-19 with bed sore, pneumonia due to covid. The patient had Covid back in February he was hospitalized for about little over 2 weeks and he was released, with he had double Pneumonia and that's why, he was in the hospital that long and he waited the 90 days because all the doctors said, he should get vaccinated for it. Concomitant medications included lisinopril for high blood pressure, glimepiride for diabetic, pioglitazone, prazosin, pravastatin, acetylsalicylic acid (BABY ASPIRIN), something for sugar and high blood pressure.

He had seen his doctors who have done some test, including CAT scan of the brain, no signs of mini stoke. He lost his memory for 2 hours; he did not know what was going on; he was answering wrong to the questions asked. His doctor told him that he will prescribe him something to calm the nerve ending like he was experiencing. After the covid virus he was feeling fine until he received the Pfizer covid vaccine. He stated his doctor told him that he read the vaccine was causing some of these problems in people. Pfizer should let the public knew about these issues. The reporter wanted to know if anyone had died due to loss of memory and chest pain after getting the Pfizer covid vaccine. He had a first one, it wasn't terrible the second vaccine he had it about two weeks ago now, he was experiencing real shortness of breath and that was 2 weeks ago and also he had a weird sensation where had a shooting pain come across his chest to his breast and he felt like he was out of breath and now he still like really-really out of breath, it took a long time to go away. The patient got the vaccine around it was 2 weeks ago. Today was the, Thursday 13. So, they roughly around the first or second you know, that's when the patient got the last shot and then he started to feel these pains around the 08Jul2021 and it just start to get worse then around the 10th, that was Saturday. The patient had 5 of them, that day and then Sunday 11Jul2021, he had about 4,5 and he was in the hospital when he was having them, he was in the emergency and then they what they done an MRI of his brain, they thought, he might be having a mini stroke and it wasn't it and the doctor said it could be the shot that got for breath and he went to his regular doctor today and she said the same thing she was going to heart doctor tomorrow but his regular doctor said she believed, it could be the shot. The patient got the second shot on left arm because he didn't wanna mess around the right arm again to get swelling back. It's on his left arm, that's where the pain started, right underneath right across from his breast okay, underneath his arm, it went, it started really the patient could feel prominent line and it's stronger and stronger and then it come close to his nipple of breast and then it started to go away and then he got like you know dizzy again and after little bit of dizziness went away and then but he was on weak side again. The patient had tones of blood work. Outcome of events: It's definitely persisting because he just spent the last weekend in the emergency room and he hadn't had these problems before. Reporter stated about treatment, "Well. He did, when he was in the hospital, he was hospitalized and they did an MRI of brain, they checked the his blood vessels in his neck and also they did a chest X-ray and they were saying because one Saturday, he lost his memory like for 4 hours he didn't know where he was, he knew who I was but he didn't know where he was why he was there, he totally didn't know what present, it was he didn't know, what year it was, like he lost everything for about you know about 4 hours I guess and about 5 O'Clock he knew everything, so they couldn't figure that out that's why, they did all these test they thought that he had like any mini stroke or something but they did rule that out." When asked if still in hospital, reporter stated, "No, he's home he was hospital yesterday. Today's what actually what was there Saturday and Sunday, and today is Monday he was released on Monday." Reporter again handed over the phone to the patient. The patient stated, "it was nothing you know and the scary part is like, my wife said you know, I lost my memory and I never had done that before either and the doctor, that ordered the MRI of my brain. He came to my room and he said to me, we can rule out that you didn't had a mini stroke, he says everything is fine. He says I really think it's the shot that you got or the one or two has caused it, he said that the Pfizer shot or the, you know, whatever he read where it does affect your nerve ending and he is saying it could have been a nerve ending or something coming from under my armpit over, but today I didn't have none of them attack but I am, my light headed and my breathing are hard, I mean, I can breathe, my lungs are okay, they took an X-ray my lungs and everything. Everything is Okay with my lungs but you know, my breathing like last night I was going to die in bed. I was breathing so, hard like I was afraid it's my breath and I came through the night but I felt the same way today and all day I felt, shortness of breath and like light headed but I didn't get any more attacks. I underneath but still like I feel like cow in other words." The patient had read, and specialist that read the MRI and both of them, they both think, It could be the shot that the patient got.

Blood clot in right lung; Sore left arm at injection site; Shortness of breath; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable consumer (patient). A 72-year-old male patient received BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE), first dose intramuscular, administered in the left upper arm on 03Feb2021 at 09:00 (batch/lot number: EL3248) as a single dose for COVID-19 immunisation (prevention). Medical history included rheumatoid arthritis from Dec2009 to an unknown date (takes daily pills for rheumatoid arthritis), squamous cell lung cancer early stage from Aug2018 to an unknown date, lung surgery to remove small portion of that and went on chemo in Aug2018, skin cancers prior to getting the vaccine, reading glasses (he needed prior to getting vaccine), blood pressure (abnormal) (takes blood pressure medication; takes daily pills). Family medical history was reported as none. Concomitant medications included nivolumab (OPDIVO) taken for squamous cell lung cancer early stage from 17Jan2019 to an unspecified stop date (getting it every 4 weeks for 2 years and 3 months; the bag was 480 ml); and unspecified blood pressure medication and rheumatoid arthritis medication. The patient experienced blood clot in right lung on 25Feb2021, sore left arm at injection site on 03Feb2021 and shortness of breath on Feb2021. The patient had the first Pfizer COVID vaccine on 03Feb2021 and second one on 01Mar2021. He did not really have any special events but then he had a CT scan on 23Feb2021, which was about 20 days after first shot. When he went in for doctor's meeting a couple of days later, they said he had a blood clot in right lung. He later stated he was not positive it was in the right lung. He told his doctor that he just got the shot, but they said they had not heard of any reports from Pfizer of people getting blood clots in their lungs after getting it. He thought about reporting then, but did not. He has no evidence that the blood clot in his lung was related to the vaccine. He was also a lung cancer patient and was on an immune therapy drug nivolumab from (name). He has been on it for over 2 years and started Jan2019. He was diagnosed with cancer back in Aug2018. It was squamous cell lung cancer early stage. He had lung surgery to remove small portion of that in Aug2018 and went on chemo. On 17Jan2019, he started on nivolumab immune therapy drug. Fortunately, it worked extremely well. He immediately started recovering and was feeling better. The last few CT scans indicated he had no sign of disease. It does not mean he was cured, but was healthy otherwise. The nivolumab spurred his immune system to eat the cancer cells. It stimulates your immune system. It has been a pretty successful drug and has been on the market for about 5-6 years. He and his wife both got shot on same date. The word on the street was that you should ask for Pfizer because it seems to have less side effects that people can get for vaccines. Pfizer's reputation has been known for having less common serious side effects. He had a sore arm and it went away about a day later. They prescribed rivaroxaban (XARELTO), a blood thinner, for his blood clot which he went on and got on a day or two later. He was hoping it was gone. He feels better. At the time, he did not know he had the blood clot. He visits his doctor for treatment for nivolumab every 4 weeks and every 4 months, they do a CT scan. At his last visit, he reported that he was still fine but lately experienced some shortness of breath. It was occasional and it comes and goes and was not all the time. He plays golf and noticed the shortness of breath during his game. He quit a couple of holes early and did not want to take any chances. The doctor later told him that a blood clot in your lung can contribute to shortness of breath. When he started rivaroxaban it was 2 pills a day for about 2-3 weeks and it was a starter dose. It was a little more in the beginning. He thinks it was 10 mg twice daily and then it went to 1 tablet a day for the last week at dinner and now it was 15 mg once daily. The two combined were greater to jump start you. It was not a special dose. He then corrected dose to 15 mg rivaroxaban twice daily for the starter dose for 2-3 weeks and one tablet daily for the last week of the starter. Then he switched to maintenance dose of 20 mg daily. He did not have a lot or expiration for the previous dose of 15 mg. The lot and expiration for the 20 mg was unknown because he believes the label was covering it. He stated he needed to get his glasses to read bottle. They were reading glasses and he needed prior to getting vaccine. Nothing has changed with his vision. He was hoping to get off of them and has never been on them. He hopes it was not a long term thing. Second dose was given 01Mar2021, Pfizer COVID vaccine, BNT162B2, expiration was unknown. Injected in left upper arm in the muscle (intramuscularly). Second dose administered at 09:20-09:30. He takes blood pressure medication and did not see it was relevant. Takes daily pills for that and rheumatoid arthritis. In the past, he had a few skin cancers. All were prior to getting the vaccine. They were some squamous and basal cell. He has had nothing in quite a while. Nivolumab was helping skin issues. Squamous cell skin cancer was the same family as lung cancer. He did not have a lot or expiration for the nivolumab. He received it by IV infusion. Shortness of breath was mid Feb2021, on and off for a couple of weeks prior to doctor visit on 25Feb2021. He usually does not have much to report and mentioned it. It did not prevent him from doing anything and was not debilitating. One of his fellow golfers said he was huffing and puffing and he just poo pooed it away. He had a flu vaccine in Oct2021 (as reported). No further details provided. Blood clots in right lung morning time, unknown time. Sore left arm at injection site noon - to late in the day of the shot. Shortness of breath - sometimes he feels it in the morning or midday if active. He cannot say a straight time. No emergency room (ER) or physician's office visit required. Vaccination facility type was clinic. Not a military facility. On 25Feb2021, normally scheduled office visit and did the CT scan on 23Feb2021. He went in separate for that. He had the treatment on Thursday. He has another CT scan scheduled in third week of May2021. They were doing it early because of the blood clot. Hopefully, it was gone by then. Prior vaccinations (within 4 weeks): 1st and 2nd Pfizer COVID vaccine as mentioned above. CT scan on 23Feb2021, positive for small blood clot in single vessel in what he thinks was his right lung. All of his previous trouble with the lung cancer was in his right lung. He has never heard of anyone else having blood clots related to the Pfizer COVID vaccine. He does not think he has heard of any and wanted to know if there were any. He knows there was something in the press about the (name) vaccine with blood clots. When you do 120 million and have a handful of people, you may have a few things. He did not have any information on the people for (name) to report on. He knows of others who have had the vaccine and no one had any symptoms. No further details provided. The outcome was recovered on 04Feb2021 for the event "sore left arm at injection site"; recovering for the event "shortness of breath"; and unknown for the event "blood clot in right lung".

Beginning the day after the inoculation, my husband began feeling worse in terms of his difficulty in breathing. He used the Albuterol inhaler more than usual. It progressively got worse over the next 2 weeks, ending with my husband?s sudden collapse and death exactly 2 weeks later on April 5, 2021. The inoculation may or may not have been directly linked to his unexpected death, but I feel it may have exasperated his condition, which led to his death. And I feel it is important to report this to you. I later heard that he should not have been using his Albuterol inhaler one week prior to receiving the Pfizer vaccine. I don?t know if that is true, but that information was never told to my husband, if it is.

Wife reports that patient started declining on 4/5/21 after his second covid immunization. He started to have intermittent intermittent fevers, shortness of breath and labored breathing. Wife reported he would "get sweaty and hot " and therefore she would give him tylenol. He saw his pcp 2 days later on 4/7/21 for these symptoms. In addition she noticed him to present with decline in his cognition and hemibody weakness and swelling. His pcp was also concerned about diastolic dysfunction. He received an outpatient ECHO. He was placed on lasix and referred to cardiology. On 4/19 He saw cardiology who ordered EKG and reviewed his echo. Felt that his afib was likely contributing to his shortness of breath. His echo and recent blood work revealed preserved EF. He had occasional scattered wheezes on exam and therefore inhaler and cxr was ordered. On 4/22 he presented to the Emergency room for breakthrough seizure. Breakthrough seizure lasted longer than usual (20 minutes), so ED performed a CT head, which showed an age indeterminant lacunar infarct in the anterior limb of the internal capsule.

unresponsive; had a stroke in his temporal, frontal and parietal regions of his brain and he has even had prior strokes too; feverish; they all fell down, her brother, her and the rollator; rapid heartbeat/ his normal heartrate is in the 60s and it was going from 110 to 140s and it wasn't coming down; had some blood clots that were thrown into the frontal, temporal and parietal region in his brain; agonal breathing; stopped breathing but then he came back so that's when he was intubated; felt very bad/ malaise/ feeling ill; vomiting in the trash can/ had stuff that looked like had came out of his mouth and he had vomit on legs; he just said that he hurt; nauseated; fatigue; his head hurt; having no appetite/ he ate one bowl of soup that the caller had made for him but he wasn't really eating; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable consumer (patient's sister) via a Pfizer-sponsored program. A 72-year-old male patient received BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE), via an unspecified route of administration, administered in the right arm on 16Apr2021 10:00 (batch/lot number: unknown) as 2nd dose, single for COVID-19 immunisation. Medical history included blood clot years ago, ongoing leukemia (in remission), coma, gout (he takes a gout medicine), neuropathic pain, pain, high blood pressure, thyroid (disorder), varicose veins and uses rollator (his wheelchair with a seat). Concomitant medications included metoprolol taken for high blood pressure from an unspecified start date and ongoing; levothyroxine sodium (THYROXINE) taken for thyroid from an unspecified start date and ongoing; hydrocodone taken for pain from an unspecified start date and ongoing; imatinib taken for leukemia in remission from an unspecified start date and ongoing; gabapentin taken for neuropathic pain from an unspecified start date and ongoing; iron taken for an unspecified indication, start and stop date were not reported; folic acid (FOLATE) taken for an unspecified indication, start and stop date were not reported; vitamin d nos (VITAMIN D) taken for an unspecified indication, start and stop date were not reported; and ongoing unspecified gout medicine. The patient previously took morphine; he had a shot of morphine in the emergency room sometime before his COVID vaccine. Historical vaccine included BNT162B2 on 25Mar2021 (batch/lot number: unknown) as 1st dose, single for COVID-19 immunisation. Vaccination facility was PRIVACY she thinks. Prior vaccination (4 weeks prior) were none. The patient's sister reported that they both had their second dose and she forgot to tell the other woman she spoke to about herself because the caller's focus was on her elderly brother who was 72-years-old. They both received their COVID vaccines in the morning of 16Apr2021, a Friday, and within hours her brother felt very bad. She went downstairs and saw her brother vomiting in the trash can and he just said that he hurt and that he felt nauseated. This continued for a few days, in fact it continued for 4 days. He was beginning to feel better on Monday, but he was still not up to par. Then Tuesday she guesses her brother was feeling better. On Wednesday night she went downstairs and heard him around 2300 to midnight talking to the dogs and then the next morning she found him unresponsive (22Apr2021). Her first thought was that maybe her brother had a stroke so she called 911. In the emergency room he had a CAT (computerized tomography) scan and at first they said that he didn't have a stroke. But something very unusual was that her brother had a rapid heartbeat and his normal was around 60 but in the emergency room his heartrate was upwards to 120 to 130 to 140. He was then transferred to another hospital where they said the next evening that in fact he did have a stroke even though that first doctor said that he didn't have a stroke. The doctor didn't find any further information until 2 days later when the doctor thought her brother already had some blood clots that were thrown into the frontal, temporal and parietal region in his brain. She was a biologist so she can't say that the COVID vaccine caused this but she thought that Pfizer should be aware of his situation and then she was so focused on her brother that she forgot to tell the other woman the really bizarre things. She had asked certain questions to the doctor based on what her sister was telling her to ask. The caller asked the doctor if her brother was going to be seen by a neurologist and the doctor gave a rambling evasive answer and then turned on his heels and walked out and kicked her out of the hospital. They both had their COVID vaccines in the morning around 1000 or so and she doesn't know if he was vomiting still the next day or not but her brother felt really bad. He has chronic conditions and he generally just felt bad and he had thought that something was wrong with him. He felt malaise, fatigue, his head hurt and he was nauseated. He ate one bowl of soup that the caller had made for him but he wasn't really eating. That lasted for about 4 days and then he started to feel better on Tuesday, confirmed to 20Apr2021, and then he felt even better on Wednesday, confirmed to 21Apr2021, because the caller did take him on some trips. He doesn't drive. Her brother said that he felt feverish and the caller says that he felt feverish to the touch as well but the thermometer said that he didn't have a fever because it had an error sign when she took his temperature. Unresponsive: Her brother was fine Wednesday night around 2300, maybe midnight, she had heard him downstairs talking to the dogs and she knew that he was okay. Then the next morning, 22Apr2021, she found him slumped into his rollator (his wheelchair with a seat) and he was slumped over and had stuff that looked like had came out of his mouth and he had vomit on legs. He was unresponsive so she called 911 and said that she thought her brother had a stroke. The operator said to lay him flat and the caller was finally able to get him up and then his arm got hung up and the operator said again to get her brother on the floor and get him flat. She understands that this was important and she was able to do it but they all fell down, her brother, her and the rollator. Shortly after this the ambulance had shown up. The ambulance took her brother to the emergency room in town and they said that her brother's heartrate was fast. She gave them all of the relevant information but she didn't think to tell them about the COVID vaccine. They said that her brother's heart was acting eradicate and it was very fast. Again, his normal heartrate is in the 60s and it was going from 110 to 140s and it wasn't coming down. She told them that when he was unresponsive that she thought he was having agonal breathing. In the emergency room, her brother's breathing was still not very good and she heard the doctor say that her brother had stopped breathing but then he came back so that's when he was intubated in the emergency room. They did a CAT scan of his head and his neck and the doctor comes back and said that her brother didn't have a stroke. But that was not the case according to a different doctor's later assessment. Approximately around 1430 to 1445 on that Thursday, 22Apr2021, they transferred him to PRIVACY, where he was in the ICU (Intensive Care Unit). His heartrate conditioned to being very fast. He went from the emergency room to the ICU. Thursday when he got transferred to the ICU they didn't do any diagnostic tests that day, he was still intubated and his heartrate was still up into the next day, Friday, 23Apr2021. It wasn't until late in the afternoon that a doctor came in and said that her brother did have a stroke he has even had prior strokes too. They had done an MRI (Magnetic resonance imaging) on Friday of his brain, which was not what they did in the first emergency room, that showed that he had a stroke in his temporal, frontal and parietal regions of his brain. At first caller states that on Saturday, he opened his eyes but he was still unresponsive essentially but then she says that this statement was wrong because he actually didn't respond that quickly. He has gone into a coma once before and when he had came out of it a very unpleasant thing happened that was very personal so she was not going to tell it. On Saturday and Sunday the doctor didn't want to answer the callers questions, this was a different doctor than the first ICU doctor and this one didn't have good bedside manner. Finally on Monday, 26Apr2021, her brother started responding. He was moving his legs with purpose, he had tried to kick the nurse, and he had made some words. The day before this, on Sunday the caller had brought the priest in to bless her brother and he sort of nodded and he seemed to make movements but he was still not able to talk. Monday he said what sounded like words and then Tuesday he made, what seemed to her like, meaningful statements. She was told that he had an ultrasound of his neck to see if he had any clogged arteries or veins and the nurse said that the test results came back good that their were no clogs. But this was where the whole story just becomes awful. Caller discusses how there were issues with a cousin having power of attorney from 2015 that was supposedly no longer valid according to the caller and she had spoke with administration and then she got kicked out of the hospital on Tuesday because of a question she had asked the doctor about her brother seeing a neurologist. The doctor said that the neurologist makes his own schedule and it might be 10 days or more if he even decided he wanted to see her brother. When the doctor asked the caller how would she like her brother's care to be she mentioned that he was in a coma before and was being treated for similar circumstances from PRIVACY and that he was seen by a neurologist and she said that maybe her brother should be seen by PRIVACY and the doctor walked out and within minutes she was being escorted out of the hospital for belittling the doctor and calling administration. Now they won't even let flowers be delivered to her brother. Unfortunately the person who has been involved with him the most, the caller, was now barred from him. She was not saying that this was all due to the Pfizer COVID vaccine but why were they saying that she has a blood clot too. She has had headaches but they may be due to stress. She didn't feel sick like her brother. She has a question and she was really scared about the answer. She was just now reading that if you're on immunosuppressant drugs then you're not supposed to have the COVID vaccine. She asked was that true. Well her brother was in remission for leukemia and he was on a cancer medication called imatinib. Caller declined to speak to medical information about this and says it was already too late because he was already taking it and she doesn't know why he didn't stop them. Her brother's friends have tried to call and they were all getting the same statement, which she believes the hospital was stone walling, but the hospital says that they don't have a patient by his name and they have even told the florist the same thing. So caller was unsure if her brother has been discharged or not. He didn't seem to be in the shape to be shipped to a care facility but she doesn't know. It was hard for her to piece it all together. The hospital wasn't feeding her brother enough before she left so for all she knows they could be starving him to death and holding nutrition from him. History/ Investigations: His medications were ones that he has been taking for years and she doesn't know exact start dates for any and if she needs to she can get the dosage information from the pharmacy. Her brother has hid his pills before and he puts them in different bottles, it was a nightmare. He takes a gout medicine and she doesn't know the name of it. Those were the main ones that he takes other than the cancer medicine she said earlier. And he also takes gabapentin for some of his neuropathic pain and he takes something at night and a few others she thinks. For medical conditions the only thing that she knows was that many years ago he had a blood clot but she can't really say what year it was. She does know that her brother wasn't on any blood thinners to he knowledge and not long ago he had an ultrasound of his legs to determine if he had a blood clot but she was not 100 % sure if he had that but she thinks he did. Her brother told her that years ago he had blood clots that were due to weight lifting causing varicose veins and later they collateralized and they found out that the other secondary vessels took over for pumping his blood so it wasn't a problem. Her concern was can someone from Pfizer talk to her about what's going on with her brother, she knows Pfizer doesn't have his records but how will Pfizer be able to determine if this was from the COVID vaccine. She guesses that she was curious about what may of caused the blood clots. She mentioned the COVID vaccine to one doctor and he didn't seem like she respected her knowledge. She asked was there anything that can be done to help her brother if it was a blood clot. She was upset that the hospital and her wanting her brother to see a neurologist and beginning with a claim that he didn't have a stroke and then a claim that he did. She thinks that they were not doing enough for her brother and they were just saying oh well, it was all due to a fast heart rate which can happen as a result of the COVID vaccine. She was going to be honest, she was exhausted and she can't keep talking for a long time. She asked if she can call medical information back later when she was more refreshed. Consumer further stated that her brother had complaints of feeling ill, feverish and having no appetite. Caller stated that the next Thursday she found her brother unconscious, heart rate was elevated 120 to140 beats per minute and that her brother had a stroke. The outcome was recovered on 21Apr2021 for the events Malaise, Nauseated, Fatigue, Headache and Appetite absent; recovering for the event Vomiting; and unknown for the rest of the events. Information on lot/batch number has been requested.

He received his vaccine, he had a slightly sore arm. A couple days after the vaccine he was lying in bed and he started out one sentence in jibberish. He realized that he had done that, paused and apologized to his wife and it happened again in jibberish and he stopped again and he looked at his wife and said "that's not good". He then found out that the entire time that he was speaking that way, and was aware that he was not making any sense. The next day he noticed that he was dragging his right foot when he tried to walk. He made an APT to his doctor and she said that he had a TIA, but the effects had cleared. The doctor told him to call the cardiologist office and to get an appointment with them, and he saw a cardiologist. The cardiologist said that he wants him to loose weight and gave him a prescription for Plavix which he is taking. Ever since he moved to Arizona he has had spontaneous nosebleeds, and have been getting worse every year since being there. In 2020 they have been the worst that he has had. He has had nasal cautery twice. A week after being on the Plavix he had another bleed, and he was advised to stop taking his 81 mg aspirin. Then a week later still on Plavix he had another nosebleed and this bleed was so bad that he ended up going to UC, and it stopped by the time he got there, and lasted for more than an hour. He called his cardiologist and his PCP and told them that he was not taking anymore Plavix until the nosebleeds stopped. He has since then talked to his ENT and told him that the cauterization is not working and is having the nosebleeds of his life. He suggested that he have surgery for his deviated septum, and has to have clearance from your PCP or cardiologist to have that surgery. In the past 5 days he has had 3 nosebleeds. His cardiologist scheduled him a stress test, and also a carotid ultrasound, as well as a CAT scan of his brain and echocardiogram.

Pt is a fully vaccinated individual as of 3/19/2021 when he had his 2nd Pfizer covid 19 vaccine. He presented to the Emergency room on 5/18/2021 with concerns for covid 19 pneumonia. He is a 72-year-old male undergoing chemotherapy for follicular lymphoma through cardiology center who stated he had a PET scan done at other facility earlier today and stated the oncologist did not like the results and sent him to the emergency room.

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.

He was put on a ventilator @ the hospital and then transferred to a different hospital a few hours later. He lost pulse/heartbeat several times @ the 2nd hospital he was transferred to. We were not allowed to travel with him or see him b/c of all of the COVID restrictions.

shortness of breath, chest xray with pulmonary edema, periorbital edema Narrative: 73 yo M w/ PMH HTN, HLD, EVAR (2013) for AAA c/b persistent type II endoleak s/p multilple repairs (2015 & 2017) c/b glue embolization down into the R CIA secured with additional stent placement with the R iliac limb, s/p b/l Iliac artery aneurysm stent 08/31/20, and PTSD. 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"

A 75-year-old male patient received the second dose of BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, Batch/lot number: EM9810, Expiry Date: Jun2021) at the age of 74- year-old via an unspecified route of administration on 04Feb2021 09:15 at single dose in Arm, Right for COVID-19 immunisation. Medical history included type 2 diabetes mellitus for about 20-25 years, ongoing kidney disease from 2005, ongoing chronic kidney disease, cardiac pacemaker insertion. The patient was diagnosed with kidney disease in 2005, but it was about 1 to 1-1/2 years ago that his kidney disease progressed to Stage 4 Kidney Disease. She said the Veterans Administration diagnosed her husband with his kidney disease, but her husband saw a private doctor, as well as, a VA doctor for his care. There were no concomitant medications. The patient previously received the first dose of BNT162B2 (Lot Number: EL3248; Expiration Date: Apr2021) at the age of 74- year-old Intramuscularly at approximately 08:45AM on 15Jan2021 in right arm for COVID-19 immunisation and had no reaction. There were no additional vaccines administered on same date of the Pfizer suspect. There were no Prior Vaccinations within 4 weeks. The patient had symptoms start earlier in the day of Tuesday, 09Feb2021, after his second COVID-19 Vaccine shot (04Feb2021). The reporter said she and her husband didn't think anything of his symptoms at first. The patient had a temperature of 99.4 degrees on 09Feb2021. She didn't check her husband's temperature again after that time because the nurse at her husband's doctor's office said her husband's temperature was not at an area of concern. The patient was sweaty, off and on, starting 09Feb2021. She clarified he would be sweaty and the cold, but nothing extreme. The patient developed muscle aches, body aches, diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting on 09Feb2021. She clarified her husband had fatigue, tiredness, and had trouble with a raspy throat. His raspy throat started Tuesday evening (09Feb2021). His raspy throat felt like he had mucus stuck in his throat, and he was unable to clear the mucus from his throat. The reporter called her husband's primary care doctor on the morning of 10Feb2021 because her husband was having trouble with a raspy throat, and difficulty breathing. She said on Tuesday night (09Feb2021) her husband had to sleep sitting up because he couldn't lay down with his breathing. He was able to eat breakfast (clarified as oatmeal and an orange), lunch (clarified as soup and a salad), and dinner (clarified as soup and half a sandwich. She said her husband ate all the meat and half of the bread on the sandwich) on 10Feb2021. Her husband's primary care doctor wasn't available to speak to on Wednesday morning (10Feb2021), but the doctor's nurse said it sounded like her husband was having a reaction to his second COVID-19 Vaccine shot. The reporter said her husband's doctor instructed her later in the day to take her husband to the Emergency Room or Urgent Care if he didn't feel any better. Her husband's throat raspiness got worse in the evening of 10Feb2021. His breathing also became worse after dinner in the evening of 10Feb2021. The patient leaned forward over a couple pillows while sitting on their couch as it was easier for him to breath by doing that. They decided at 11:00PM that her husband should go to the Emergency Room. She said her husband was getting very weak, so she and her husband debated if she should call # for an ambulance, or if she should drive him to the Emergency Room. She said her husband was able to dress himself, but with some difficulty, and she assisted walking him from their house to their car. She said she had turned to walk away from her husband while he was at the side of their car, and then she heard her husband make a noise. He had appeared to have passed out. She clarified in the past, her husband had passed out prior to his pacemaker. She said she dialed #, and the # operator told her how to tell if her husband was still breathing. She said she couldn't tell if her husband was still breathing. She said when the ambulance arrived at her house, the ambulance staff worked on her husband for a long time. The reporter thought her husband had died at the time he had collapsed at the side of their car. The patient took a sugar free cough syrup Tuesday night (09Feb2021), and then again a couple times on Wednesday (10Feb2021) as treatment. The patient had thrown up a couple times, but found that the sugar free cough syrup soothed his cough the night before (09Feb2021). She said her husband had taken 2 TUMS early on Wednesday morning at approximately 2:00AM (10Feb2021). He had said his stomach was bothering him on 10Feb2021. He said he thought he may be constipated, so he took 1 Senokot (Clarified as GeriCare Senna-Plus Natural Vegetable Laxative with Stool Softener) on 10Feb2021. She clarified her husband had diarrhea on 09Feb2021, but felt on 10Feb2021 he may have been constipated. There were no adverse events required a visit to Emergency Room since Patient's wife stated she was getting her husband to their car, so she could drive him to the Emergency Room, when her husband collapsed and died or to Physician Office as they spoke with the nurse at her husband's primary care doctor's office.

I had my first Covid 19 vaccination on 01/15/2021 - Pfizer-BioNTech - lot # EL1284 My second Covid 19 vaccination was on 02/05/2021 On about 02/19/2021 and many times after I was feeling an irregular heart beat. My doctor says I am in AFib again and I am scheduled for another ablation in July, 2021. Is it possible that the Pfizer-BioNTech Covid 19 vaccination caused the current AFib (my doctor thought so) or is it a coincidence ?

Patient was a healthy 75 year old male when he got the shot. Within 5 hours, he began to feel TIRED, which was an expected side effect. He felt tired for several days. Nine days later he went to Memorial Hermann ER in Kingwood, and they said he had pneumonia. They also said he had a "small mass" at the bottom of his lung and might want to get it checked out. On March 20, he developed a cough. On March 21 we went to a different ER and a CT scan showed he had plureal effusion. On the next day he was short winded. He went back to the ER and they admitted him and transferred him to hospital by ambulance. On March 23, 1.7 liters of fluid was drained from his lung and sent to be tested. On March 26 he was diagnosed with malignant plureal effusion. He passed out at the doctor office and tranferred to to another facility by ambulance. He remained there for 4 days for tests, and a port was put in to drain the fluid. On March 29 he was transferred . They repeated many tests and did a bronchoscopy. On April 1 they told him he had squamous cell carcinoma. He came home on April 2. The doctor called and said they made a mistake he had small cell carcinoma. He remained home until April 11, when he was taken back to by ambulance. He had gone from a healthy appearing individual on March 17 to a critically ill individual and he died on April 15. Doctors had never seen cancer overtake a man in 28 days. 28 days!!!! On March 22, he had a small mass at the bottom of his lung, and one week later, it was a mass so large, his lung could not be seen and his lung had collapsed. Doctors assumed that the cancer was dormant and that the vaccine did something to wake it. It attacked my husband with a vengeance. He never smoked.

He got his vaccine, his arm was barely sore to the touch. He gets routine cancer check ups every 6 months, on 5/19/21 he had his usual CT scan of his chest, which showed a new pleural effusion and a new pericardial effusion. Then there was a growth between his pericardial fat 2 cm x 2 cm that is not cancer as he had a PET scan afterwards that was negative for any highlighted areas. His Houndsfield Units for the mass was 6.2 cm is 35-36 HU. He then saw his results online and they want to do biopsies to see what is in the growth and in the effusion. They have not figured out what to do yet for these symptoms. so he is going to be undergoing additional testing. He did not have any of these symptoms or problems on his previous 6 month check up and is concerned that it is due to the vaccine itself. He is in good health and exercises on a continual basis, does not smoke and never had, but does have a couple of drinks a day, but nothing to excess.

On March 8 we went and got the 2nd vaccine and he came home with a fever and confusion and I guess dementia just seeming crazy. He was eating dinner on March 9 sitting at the bar with my Mom and for whatever reason when she got back to him (with 5minutes) he was on the floor balled up in a ball, all his muscles were tight- it was hard for us to get him to stretch or even move, unable to move or control his bowels. I went and got him and put him in bed, in the middle of the night he woke up and was going crazy. My Mom called the ambulance and they took him to the hospital and he stayed for 3 days. They got him some Occupation therapy and they were able to snap him out a little bit. They helped him walk a little it was hard because he has only one arm. We ended up taking him to a nursing home for physical rehab for him to snap out of it but after 2 weeks in the home his brain and cognition and physical abilities deteriorated everyday. To the point we had to send him to a behavioral health hospital who tried to get him on medication to keep him from getting violent- he was there for 31 days and sent back to nursing home and lasted 3 weeks and then he passed away. It was just rapid exponential deteriorated from day to day and was unbelievable to watch. Every Dr. that saw him said that the vaccine was a contributor to his rapid decline.
