Delusions; Hallucinations; Psychosis; Cognitively, she is very bad; Dysphagia; Aphasia; Extreme lethargy; Brain fog; Confusion; Slurring speech to the point where it was very slurred; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable consumer (patient's granddaughter). A 90-year-old female patient received the second dose of BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE; Lot Number and Expiration Date were not reported), intramuscular in left arm, on 18Feb2021 at 10:50 AM, at a single dose, for COVID-19 immunization. The patient's medical history included diagnosed allergies, compromised immune status, respiratory illness, genetic or chromosomal abnormalities, endocrine abnormalities (including type 2 diabetes diagnosed years ago), and obesity. The patient's concomitant medications were not reported. The patient previously took the first dose of BNT162B2 on 24Jan2021 at 90 years of age for COVID-19 immunization. There was no prescriber for the vaccine. About a week ago (Mar2021), the patient started experiencing delusions and hallucinations. The patient was currently hospitalized. These came on quickly, no definitive diagnosis. Over the last 2 months (2021), the patient slowly started slurring speech to the point where it was very slurred. In 2021, they took her to the emergency room (ER) and they did a battery of test including computerized tomography (CT) scan, blood test, urine, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of brain. They were thinking maybe she might have had a small stroke but did not find anything. On Sunday (14Mar2021; within the last 2 weeks), the patient also had brain fog, and a little confusion, but was still there. The patient had no cognitive issues of any sort. On Tuesday (16Mar2021), the patient called and said there were some men at her house. The patient had the police go over and they said there was no one there and she started to say other things that did not make sense. On Wednesday (17Mar2021) at 03:00, the patient's granddaughter got a call from EMS that the patient reported someone broke into her home, stole her TV, and raped her. This was not true. By Wednesday (17Mar2021), the patient was in full blown psychosis with hallucinations, and delusions. The patient was hospitalized on Wednesday (17Mar2021) and the delusions, psychosis and hallucinations began between Sunday to Wednesday (Mar2021). The patient's granddaughter believes it all occurred after the vaccine. It was around the same time frame. The patient's granddaughter would notice a word here and there where the patient was slurring. The patient's granddaughter did not know if the patient was being lazy or tired and it gradually progressed. The patient's current state is in a very bad spot - cognitively, she is very bad (started on an unspecified date). The patient now has aphasia and extreme lethargy from 18Mar2021, and dysphagia from 22Mar2021. This has all progressed since she has been in the hospital. The psychosis came out of nowhere. The patient was on a whole laundry list of medications and does not know if they were relevant to this. The patient had just recently started experiencing some extreme changes to herself to the point where she is hospitalized. The medical team is not finding anything wrong with the patient medically. The patient has developed some psychosis and there is nothing else that has happened that would have caused it. The patient had both doses of her COVID-19 vaccine. The patient's granddaughter was trying to research it to see if has been reported by anyone else. The patient's granddaughter considered the events as non-serious. The patient had not recovered from the events.

A 90-year-old female patient received the first dose of BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, Lot Number: EN6199) via an unspecified route of administration on 10Mar2021 at age of 90-year-old at single dose for COVID-19 immunisation.

Concomitant medication included anastrozole taken for neoplasm malignant from 10Jan2021. Caller reported side effects from the Pfizer COVID vaccine. Caller stated that she didn't know if it was the vaccine or because of the cancer she has, but she didn't have any appetite now (onset date 24Mar2021). She was eating all right and taking the cancer drug, but on 24Mar2021 (reported as "about 2 weeks after the Pfizer COVID vaccine on 10Mar2021"), she lost her appetite, even for water. Caller reported that she could go two days without eating anything. At the same time she was having loose bowels. She didn't know if the loose bowels was from the medicine she was taking or something else. Her voice had also been affected, it was so dry, she couldn't even talk. The caller also reported that that she didn't know what she weighs, it was going down so fast because she was not eating since an unspecified date. Caller not sure about weight. Caller stated that she was having a sleep problem, sleeping has been very bad. Everything started about 2 weeks after she got the first Pfizer COVID vaccine on the 10Mar2021. Caller was supposed to go back for her second Pfizer COVID vaccine on the 31Mar2021, but on the 24Mar2021 she started having trouble with eating and sleep and loose bowels. Since symptoms started after her Pfizer COVID vaccine dose on 10Mar2021, she decided not to go back on 31Mar2021 for the second dose. Caller reported that she ate 2 French fries since 07Apr2021 (yesterday), from a sandwich she ordered yesterday but didn't eat the sandwich. Caller clarified that she couldn't even eat the 2 French fries and hasn't had anything since then. For loose bowels: caller reported that she had a urine problem and urinates often since an unspecified date. Caller stated that when she went to urinate and when she barely presses down, she would have a bowel movement, but it was very watery and loose, not a formed bowel movement. She talked to her cancer doctor and her regular doctor who both told her to go to the hospital but she did not go. For dry voice: caller reported that she didn't know if it was acid coming up in her mouth or just dry mouth. Caller didn't know what it was, if she kept her mouth closed and didn't talk and didn't get any air, it was not as bad. Caller reported that trying to talk was bad and it had recently gotten a little worse. The patient wasn't having these symptoms before she took the vaccine. The outcome of "she doesn't know what she weighs, it is going down so fast" and "she has a urine problem and urinates often" was unknown, the outcome of other events was not recovered. No follow-up attempts are possible; information about lot/batch number cannot be obtained.

A 91-year-old female patient received first dose BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE; Solution for injection; lot number: EL3248; expiration date: not known), via an unspecified route of administration in the left arm on 07Jan2021 at single dose for COVID-19 immunization. Medical history included high blood pressure and blood thinner. Concomitant medication included apixaban (ELIQUIS) for blood thinner. The patient is asking if there were any reports of adverse events with kidneys and the vaccine. She received the 1st shot last Thursday (07Jan2021) and told that yesterday (10Jan2021), she had an episode where kidneys weren't acting. She also mentioned that she is on a blood thinner, ELIQUIS. She is due to receive the 2nd shot on 28Jan2021. She said that she wouldn't want to receive the 2nd dose if this was related to her adverse reaction. The issue with the kidney started after on 10Jan2021, yesterday she was really having problems, she went to church then came home by that time she would have to go to the bathroom, but she did not go, she ended up cooking dinner which was 3 hours later, she was noticing that she was not urinating. She drank some Gatorade and that made it little better, she is wondering if it's a side effect. On 10Jan2021, when she noticed the kidney issues, she did not know for certain if it started before that, she didn't pay attention. Also, yesterday (10Jan2021), she got sick in which she had to grab the counter, she felt bad, she wasn't dizzy, but felt light-headed. The symptom of not having the feeling to urinate had improved a little today but she is concerned and wanted to know if this was a side effect. Her being light-headed only occurred on 10Jan2021, it was a onetime occurrence yesterday. However, she was also just sitting around, laying around, after that yesterday. The outcome of the event 'light-headed' was unknown; while outcome of other events was recovering.

very acute confusion; marked confusion; never had it before; completely out of character; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable Nurse (patients daughter). A 91-year-old female patient received the second dose of BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 mRNA VACCINE; Lot number: UNKNOWN), via an unspecified route of administration on 05Feb2021 at 14:30 PM (at the age of 91-year-old) as a single dose for COVID-19 immunization. The patient medical history and concomitant medications was not reported. Historical vaccine included Dose 1 of BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 mRNA VACCINE; Lot number: UNKNOWN), in Jan2021 for COVID-19 immunization and experienced minor soreness and nausea; the Flu vaccine and experienced aches, chills, fever, and once even had a red streak up and down the injection site arm. On 05Feb2021, immediately after received the second shot, the patient experienced very acute confusion; marked confusion, that lasted about an hour; she had never had it before; it was also reported that it was completely out of character. The nurse informed that her mother had never had marked confusion before and since it did pass, the nurse feels it's medically significant. It was reported that the patient was observed for 15 minutes and then got up and went back to her apartment. In that period of time when in there, no one noticed what happened in that few minutes. The nurse reported her mother's neighbor was who called her. The nurse was on the way to pick up her mother anyway because she knew there was always a chance of side effects with older people. The nurse had just driven up within that 15 minutes when the neighbor called stating the patient was confused. This was completely out of character for her. When she picked up her mother she took her to the emergency room which is maybe 20 minutes away and didn't have the petal to the metal. On the way to emergency room could see her mother starting to clear up. She had her down in the car in about 10 minutes, 20 minutes driving to emergency room, so a total of 45 minutes to hour. They asked questions and within the hour her mother was okay, it was scary. The clinical outcome of very acute confusion and completely out of character was recovering.; Sender's Comments: Based on the close temporal relationship, the association between the events "acute confusion; marked confusion, that lasted about an hour; she had never had it before; it was also reported that it was completely out of character" with BNT162b2 can not be completely exclucded. 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.

Patient always had pain at the bottom of her foot but it was getting worse after she received the first dose of Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine. Patient noticed the liquid going thru arm to chest and in straight line to her leg, like a science fiction movie with an injection of some kind. The doctor thought the vaccine might have an impact on the nervous system and spike the symptoms of post herpetic neuralgia. Patient spoke to her doctor but nobody knows anything. Nobody was willing to help her. Patient felt like she was dying. She didn't want to die. Patient feel the symptoms are getting worst. She was burning up inside. Her pain was around the bottom of the foot now it's on top of the foot and goes up to knee. Patient was not blaming anybody but she thought it was the vaccine. Patient was sweating, wet, perspiring all night. The symptoms usually occur at night. Patient wanted to know if these symptoms were associated with the vaccine. Patient also mentioned she developed a bladder infection for which she was taking antibiotics. Patient had Pfizer vaccine on 02Feb2021, about 5 days ago. Patient followed instructions before vaccine. Doctor said to take paracetamol (TYLENOL) before the vaccine for a headache. Patient did that. Patient had injection and told to wait for 15 minutes before she went home. About 5 minutes, she was relaxed and sitting down. Vaccination given in left arm. All of a sudden she had a very strange feeling in her body on 02Feb2021. Something was going across the top and right side like a fluid was flowing or something strange. Then it felt like a straight line down her right foot and it stopped. Was a feeling like maybe the liquid of the vaccine went that way. Didn't have a vein going that way. Patient was afraid. She went home and didn't remember the next thing that happened. Every night she has gotten more sick. Patient had a feeling in her foot where she had shingles a few years ago. After shingles had post-herpetic neuralgia. Patient always had burning on bottom of her foot and would put it in ice water. Patient could handle that because it was just uncomfortable. After injection, she got so bad, the post-herpetic neuralgia was on her whole foot and it started to burn. It went up a little towards the knee or higher. Yesterday, at times, it quickly went over to the left leg. Patient had a fever every day and every night. Patient took paracetamol to cut the fever. Patient was coughing on call but stated that was nothing and the coughing was something she had. Every night she felt like her body was burning up in side. Felt like she was burning alive. Got all wet with perspiration. She changed clothes and every night it got worse. Patient called emergency, they listened to her, stating they have never heard of anything like this. Asked patient if she wanted to go to emergency. She stated ok. The doctor listened to her story and told her it was weird. Doctor told her to give it a few more days to up to eight days. Doctor wanted her to get a urine test, but she couldn't urine, patient tried for a long time in the bathroom and only got a few drops of urine out and it was brown. Not normal urine. Next day patient called 911. She wanted to be assured she was not dying at home. Did have room available at the hospital. Patient had to sit in a wheelchair and there was no bed for her to lie down in. Last time she was admitted from the emergency. Next day she came home and had to call emergency again. Really thought she was burning up. Patient didn't want to go to the hospital and suffered at home. Next night and third night was so bad. Patient couldn't urinate anymore. She had a fever, but not a high fever, because the paracetamol cut the fever. Temperature was 100 degrees. On the inside she thought she was being burned up a live. Never got better, always got worse. Yesterday, she was in the hospital all day. Now she has an infection in her bladder. Was put on a machine and everything. Had a long procedure, and got the urine going. Patient didn't miss not urinating. Has accidents like when she sneezes or cough. Usually gets up 2-3 times at night to urinate. When she finally realized she couldn't urinate, the doctor kept her there for a long time, eight hours. Was put on the machine, thought she may need a catheter. Her bladder was massaged in order to get her to urinate. Patient only had the left kidney. Correct problem about the urine. Doctor told her to make sure she goes back for second dose on 23Feb2021, but she was afraid. In the morning she was a little better, couldn't handle this. Patient was very weak and tired. One night she was in the emergency and didn't sleep because of the procedures. Patient didn't think the needle went in all of the way when the nurse administered her vaccine. Sensation started on the left, went across her chest, straight down like an arrow. Like something was trickling down to the end of her foot and stopped. Patient had symptoms every night since. So severe patient thought she was burning up. Patient got worse every night and didn't get any better. Patient said feeling at COVID-19 Vaccine injection site was not a natural thing. Last time she was in the hospital her blood pressure went up to 184. After COVID-19 Vaccine patient lost a little weight. Same time had this problem, was seeing a doctor with a colon specialty. Had so much constipation for a long time and tried to correct it with mediation. Medication was too strong and gave her diarrhea. Doctor thought maybe she had colon cancer. Stopped the medication. Wasn't 100% healthy, but that was just cramps. Patient eats very little now, not very hungry. Patient feels good in her bowels after something good from a restaurant. Patient attempted to clarify the medication that was too strong. She stated it was over the counter. She stated it was something that had to be mixed. She was supposed to take a cap full and mix it with 8 ounces of liquid. Needed something to make her have a bowel movement. Only took it for two days. Was way before the vaccine. It was too strong and she stopped it. Patient took a probiotic. After that patient was given gas relief medication called: Gas Relief Extra Strength Simethicone, 125mg. Provided: V11496, MSRS 53041 REV 0417, and 883928. Patient no longer has constipation. Now it is the opposite. Now bowel movements are soft and pasty.

nervous; easily startled with any quick noise; she has awoken with a very bad startle in the night; depressed; Feeling jittery; woke up on 09Apr2021 around 7 AM, she was on some kind of a high; tiredness/body was tired; head felt a little different, fuzzy; couldn't sleep that well at night; headache; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable consumer reported for herself. A 93-year-old female patient received the 1st dose of BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, lot number: EP7533) via an unspecified route of administration in the left upper arm on 08Apr2021 14:00 at single dose for COVID-19 immunization. Medical history included ongoing acid reflux which was bad enough that she would upchuck in the morning, light stroke from 2019 that she did not need to go to rehab and made a complete recovery, ongoing thyroid problem diagnosed 10 years ago, low on vitamin D which was brought up to normal with a special medication and then she was advised to take vitamin D every day, ongoing chronic urinary tract infections hospitalized and with treatments.

The patient reported that she took SMZ-TMP for her chronic urinary tract infections as prophylaxis. Her physician had informed her that your body builds up immunity to the antibiotics and you can still get urinary tract infections. Caller reported that when she gets a urinary tract infection while taking the SMZ-TMP, she has to take something different and then switch back to it. The patient was recently on a different kind of antibiotic for a urinary tract infection, but she cannot remember the name. That evening the patient went to bed and stated "my head felt a little different, fuzzy, I couldn't sleep that well at night on 09Apr2021. I woke up the next morning and felt high as a kite." She stated this lasted all day and said, "my body was tired but I couldn't sleep and take my normal nap. I couldn't sleep at night, I woke with a jerk and a start." This happened 3 times that night. On 10Apr2021 she started to feel very depressed and she had a headache. A couple days ago, the depression lifted but then she felt jittery/nervous and easily startled with any quick noise. She stated that she remained easily startled and wanted to know what the vaccine was doing to her body that would cause this side effect? She reported she had been to her MD and they did not recommend anything. The patient been taking store brand Extra Strength Pain Reliever Acetaminophen 500 mg tablets for her headache. She had been taking 2 or 3 tablets per day. The patient stated she wasn't sure about getting the second dose of the vaccine with her side effects from the first. The patient had a very bad reaction to the 1st dose, that it's a week later and she's still not completely over her reaction. The patient reported that she got the Covid-19 vaccine, came home and felt fine during the evening on 08Apr2021. Right before she went to bed around 9 PM on 08Apr2021, her head didn't feel quite right and felt kind of fuzzy. The patient reported that everybody and all of her friends had been tired the next day following the Covid-19 vaccine so the caller thought that maybe the tiredness was starting. Details not provided for her friends that felt tired. The patient reported that she didn't sleep too well the night of 08Apr2021 but it wasn't anything outstanding. When she woke up on 09Apr2021 around 7 AM, she was on some kind of a high. She was flying high like a kite instead of being tired after sleeping poorly the night before. The flying high feeling went on and on. The patient reported that her schedule was to have lunch around noon, at 1 PM sit in her chair and read for a bit, and then take a nap. She never had any trouble and she was always ready for a nap. On 09Apr2021 she sat in her chair and was wide awake. She thought there was no way that she could go to sleep and she gave up taking a nap. The patient reported that she was flying high all day. She went to bed on 09Apr2021 and thought to herself that she was very tired and that she would surly get a good night's sleep. She did not sleep well, that her body was tired but her mind was fully alert and wide awake. She didn't get sleep at all, except that her body was so tired that the patient would doze off and wake up with a start. She didn't usually wake up with a start and a jerk. After she awoke with a start on the night of 09Apr2021, she thought that she had slept for an hour. She looked at the clock and she had only dozed off for 5 minutes. She laid in bed and tried to relax. Her body was tired but her mind was full speed ahead. She dozed off again on the night of 09Apr2021 and that the same thing happened, the patient dozed off for 5 minutes and then jerked awake. The patient reported that she had 3 episodes on the night of 09Apr2021 of falling asleep and then jerking awake. She finally fell asleep around 4 in the morning on 10Apr2021 until 6 AM when she was awake again. She woke up and realized that she had plunged into a very bad depression. This was very troublesome as she was a person with very good spirits that other people mention. She was in a deep depression and was just very concerned about that. The depression went on through the day and it just lasted and lasted. The depression finally seemed to get a little better but not right away. She thought it was almost 2 days that the depression lasted. Because of all of these side effects, it had bothered her mind so much that she can't really keep track of days and times so well. The last 2 days, when she felt like her spirits were coming up but not quite back up to the top yet, she got the jitters. She had just a very nervous feeling of jitters that as still kind of with her. The last 2 nights (13Apr2021 and 14Apr2021), she had awoken with a very bad startle in the night. Last night, 14Apr2021, she experienced a very bad startle again. She was not over the jitters because she never woke up with a jerk and startle and just frightened. She was very concerned and there was no way she can get the second dose of the Covid-19 vaccine. She hadn't even gotten past the depression yet into the jitters. She made an appointment with her doctor and that her doctor kind of blew it off in a way that they're really pushing for all of them to get the vaccination. The patient reported that she called Pfizer when she had the high and crash into depression. She going to cancel the appointment for her second dose of the Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine. The patient reported that she has never taken an illegal drug in her life, but she had heard stories of what a drug high felt like. She had heard details of what it felt like to get really high and then the crash and to have cravings for the drug. The patient reported that there as apparently some kind of medication in the Covid-19 vaccination that affected her like some kind of not very good drug. The patient reported that she didn't feel quite so nervous and jittery at time of call on 15Apr2021. The jitters were better but still occurring. The depressed feeling was still present a little, but it was a lot better than it was. She was not sure that her spirits were right up to the tip top as usual. The patient reported that given a little time, maybe in a day or two her spirits will be up at the top again. The patient reported that the jittery feeling caused her to startle at unexpected noises. She had been startled quickly and easily and having quite the startle reaction. That's not like her to startle so easily. The patient reported that the headache hadn't been extreme but it's been there. At the time of reporting she felt like her headache was a lot better than it was. She was pretty sure that she reported this AE to the first Pfizer agent that she spoke with. The patient had 2 heart tests done and that everything came back fine and that she was in good health. She was concerned that the vaccine may have affected her brain, heart, or organs. Before she got the Covid-19 vaccine, she was feeling so good. The patient inquired if she had this bad of a reaction maybe it's doing something to her inside organs that no one knows about, how would she know. Outcome of the event Feeling jittery was recovered on 11Apr2021, of the event depressed Was recovering, of the other events was unknown. No follow-up attempts are needed. No further information is expected.

Disoriented; Urinary tract infection; Shingles/rash; Complaining of pain and burning; Complaining of pain and burning; she was not feeling that well; lose her mental faculties; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable pharmacist. A 94-year-old female patient (reporter's mother) receive the first dose of BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, lot number: EL3246), via an unspecified route of administration on 07Jan2021 (around 3:15 PM to 3:20 PM) at 0.3 mL, single (0.3ml dose injection in right arm) for COVID-19 immunization. Medical history included blood pressure, cholesterol, blood thinner and fluid. The patient historical vaccine included varicella zoster vaccine live (ZOSTAVAX) for immunization. There was no history of all previous immunization with the Pfizer vaccine considered as suspect as this was the first dose. The patient had no prior Vaccinations within 4 weeks. Concomitant medications included ongoing apixaban (ELIQUIS) for blood thinner, ongoing furosemide (LASIX) for fluid, valsartan for blood pressure, ongoing pravastatin for cholesterol. The reporter was calling because her mother had the COVID-19 Vaccine on 07Jan2021, it was on a Thursday. By that Friday (08Jan2021) she was not feeling that well. Caller stated she did not know if what occurred had any correlation to the vaccine, but she wanted to report these details in case this started to be came a problem. Her mother is 94 years old and was in very good shape. However, now she was in the hospital completely disoriented. Since getting the vaccine she had subsequently broke out with shingles two days after getting the vaccine on 09Jan2021. Caller reiterated she was not saying this had anything to do with the vaccine, but she just wanted to reported these events. Caller initially stated it was unknown why patient was admitted to the hospital. She went on to explain her mother, the patient, was complaining of pain and burning. She started complaining of this pain and burning in the evening like around 5PM (on 08Jan2021 17:00). She later broke out into shingles. Caller mentioned patient has not had the SHINGRIX vaccine yet. However, she did have the older vaccine, ZOSTAVAX. Caller confirmed patient received the ZOSTAVAX years before. Patient went to the Emergency Room the first time on 09Jan2021 due to complaining of pain and burning and they could not find anything wrong with her. They checked her vitals and ran several tests and it all came back fine. They then sent her home. Patient went back to the Emergency Room on 10Jan2021 and completed another battery of test, labs, checked vitals, had chest x-ray, and cat scan at this time they could not diagnose with Shingles. On 11Jan2021, the patient had an appointment with her Primary Doctor and he did not find anything wrong. Patient came home with caller's sister and she was helping her get undressed. That was when the sister noticed a rash on the patient's body. The rash broke out on her body on Monday 11Jan2021. They tried to call the doctor that night, but did not get a response. On Tuesday 12Jan2021 they took the patient to urgent care and that was when she was formally diagnosed with Shingles. She was started on medication for the Shingles, Acyclovir, and sent home. They also thought she had a slight Urinary Tract Infection. She was started on CIPRO for the urinary tract infection. Patient was home for a couple of days in Jan2021 and she was not getting any better. She was then starting to lose her mental faculties. They thought this was from the urinary tract infection. Caller clarified the patient was then admitted to the hospital on 16Jan2021 due being disoriented. For causality assessment, it was mentioned that it is so coincidental this happened right after getting the vaccine. She was healthy and then it was like a snowball. The outcome of the events was unknown.; Sender's Comments: A possible contributory effect of suspect BNT162B2 on reported events cannot be 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.

A 94-year-old female patient received the first dose bnt162b2 BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE; lot number EL3249), via an unspecified route of administration (right arm) on 21Jan2021 at SINGLE DOSE (arm right) for covid-19 immunisation. Medical history included left shoulder pain (on medication for years) from an unspecified date, and elbow that she fell on two weeks before on Jan2021. Concomitant medication included hydrocodone for left shoulder pain. On 24Jan2021, the patient experienced real tired and she even slept 14 hours the night before. Reporter was wondering if tiredness is a side effect of the product. The patient also had an elbow that she fell on two weeks before on Jan2021, and three days after getting the vaccine (24Jan2021), that elbow started hurting more, and it was on the same arm as the side she got the injection on, the right arm. The reporter was unsure of the lot number reported as E13249 or EL3249 (unsure which lot number is his, and which is the one his wife received). The patient received no other vaccines on the same day as the COVID vaccine. Outcome of the event "elbow starting hurting more, and it was on the same arm as the side she got the injection on, the right arm" was not recovered. Outcome of events "is real tired and she even slept 14 hours last night" was unknown.

Vertigo last week that stayed for five days; pain at the injection site; 2 stroke like symptoms/ like she was having a TIA (Reporter confirmed TIA as Transient ischemic attack); Blood Pressure 170/130; Fatigue; Joint ache; Nausea; Vomiting; Fever 100.1; Stress; 2 stroke like symptoms/numbness in her lip; Pervasive aching; Momentary confusion; , like she was having a TIA; Not able to answer questions; she still has not recovered her strength; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable consumer (patient's daughter). A 94-year-old female patient (mother) received 1st dose of bnt162b2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE) (Lot# EL1283), via an unspecified route of administration on 23Jan2021 13:00 at a single dose for COVID-19 immunisation. The patient's medical history included ischaemic stroke, haemorrhagic stroke in Aug2019, pulmonary embolism, deep vein thrombosis (DVT), cholesterol, myalgia condition, blood pressure, thyroid, sleep and vertigo. The patient concomitant medications included amlodipine for blood pressure, calcium carbonate/colecalciferol (CALCIUM + VITAMIN D), rosuvastatin calcium (CRESTOR) for cholesterol, levothyroxine for thyroid, eszopiclone (LUNESTA) for sleep medication, ascorbic acid, cupric oxide, dl-alpha tocopheryl acetate, xantofyl, zeaxanthin, zinc oxide (PRESERVISION AREDS 2), prednisone for myalgia condition, and escitalopram. The patient experienced fatigue, joint ache, nausea, vomiting, blood pressure 170/130, fever 100.1, stress, stroke like symptoms, numbness in her lip, momentary confusion; like she was having a TIA; not able to answer questions, tired, pervasive aching, all on 23Jan2021 19:00. Events reported as follow: patient had the Pfizer vaccine on Saturday around 1 pm and Saturday (Clarified 23Jan2021) night she had severe side effects for about 4 hours. When probed for side effects, the reporter stated it increased gradually over time. So, first patient had joint achiness and then she experienced nausea and vomiting. The reporter took her blood pressure. It was 170/130 and so reporter called EMS and they came up and her blood pressure had gone back down to normal and they recorded she had a fever of 100.1. EMS believed that the combination of the 'violence' of the onset and the fever caused her blood pressure to spike but she had a history of ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke. So, the reporter was concerned that the stress and whatever that was going on the reaction, the reporter was concerned that it was going to cause her a stroke. Patient had 2 stroke like symptoms, one was that she had numbness in her lip and the second was that she had momentary confusion, like she was having a TIA (reporter confirmed TIA as Transient ischemic attack). The only symptom of that was when the reporter asked her the name of her children she gave the names of her grandchildren but that confusion cleared up quickly and she was fine for a while but not able to answer questions, sharply. By the time that EMS got there patient was sharp again, no problem. For treatment, the reporter gave patient aspirin. The reporter put some Salonpas patches on her joints. It was like the analgesic patch. It was an external patch that patient put on. Patient usually does not need them that was why she was taking the prednisone to treat that kind of pervasive aching. The reporter also gave her the fluids, Gatorade kind of stuff to replace her fluids from throwing up and that kind of stuff. One more thing, it all started with an extreme fatigue but that seem normal but it seemed to lead into the other symptoms. Like it was a big day to go out and get the vaccine. So, she was a little bit tired. This was a very deep fatigue that was part of it too. Reporter stated only 81 aspirin (later clarified as treatment) as she could not go back on blood thinners because she had the hemorrhagic stroke. As of 11Feb2021, it was reported that patient still has not recovered her strength since 23Jan2021 19:00 and was reported as ongoing but improved. On 03Feb2021, the patient had vertigo that stayed for five days and was now improved. The patient was scheduled for the second dose on 13Feb2021. The immediate effects her mother had after the first dose of the vaccine were pain at the injection site; fatigue; fever; nausea. Mentions she also had some confusion and they were worried that the patient might be having another stroke. But all of this cleared up; all of this in a violent episode that lasted about four hours. Today she wants to report that her it took her a week for her mother to recover. Adds her mother could walk for half an hour before the vaccine but since the vaccine she still has not recovered her strength. Adds her mother has only been able to walk about 15 minutes with a walker and resting a lot, for a couple time in three weeks and this was their main way of maintaining her health. Adds her mother also had some vertigo last week that stayed for five days but she has had that in the past. Adds actually she still has the vertigo a little and she can tell when her mother bends her head. Outcome of blood pressure 170/130, she still has not recovered her strength and vertigo was recovering, outcome of events pain at the injection site, fatigue, fever, nausea and confusion was recovered on 23Jan2021 23:00; other events was unknown. No investigation assessment. Follow-up (11Feb2021): New information received from the same contactable consumer (patient's daughter) includes: reporter details, medical history, reaction data and course of events.

up all night; Itching; has small bumps; some areas of redness; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable consumer. A 96-year-old female patient (Reporter's mother) received first dose of BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, Solution for injection), via an unspecified route of administration, administered in Arm Left on 08Feb2021 (Batch/Lot number was not reported) as SINGLE DOSE for covid-19 immunisation (they hope the mother doesn't contract COVID). Medical history included stomach issues, blood pressure, cholesterol. Concomitant medication(s) included loperamide hydrochloride (LOMOTIL) taken for stomach issues. The patient experienced itching with, has small bumps, some areas of redness; all (non-serious) on 09Feb2021 and up all night (non-serious) on 10Feb2021. Therapeutic measures were taken as a result of itching (pruritus). Additional Information for Concomitant Products Lomotil, cholesterol and one for blood pressure: Reporter declined to provide any further information for medications such as when her mother began taking these medications, the dosages, or further information related to the medications. Reporter was calling for her mother. Her mother had her initial shot on the 8th, 08Feb2021, and she got up the next morning and was complaining of itching and had some areas of redness and bumps that went around the nape of her neck. She has small bumps around her neck, under her chin, on her chest area going down mid-line- from her chin- and then down under her breast. It itches and she didn't have that before. Clarified with caller that the shot being discussed is the Pfizer COVID vaccine. Reporter said areas of itching and bumps are still there today, she wanted to wait a little bit to see how it was going to be, but her mother still has it. Her mother does have a sensitivity to medications. You know, a lot of oral medications she can't really tolerate, it bothers her stomach. She's not really allergic to anything in particular- caller asked her mother, "are you mom, no." She just wanted to clarify that information. Her mother does have a sensitive stomach, but the COVID vaccine shouldn't have anything to do with the stomach. No further details provided on the oral medications that the mother is unable to tolerate that bother her stomach. Two days ago, the caller's mother had the COVID vaccine on the 08Feb2021 and she woke up that evening. While she was going to bed she noticed she was itching. When she got up in the morning she said she was up itching all night. The reporter says, so we will say 09Feb2021 is when this all started. Reporter makes a comment that her mother is a little thing. The reporter says her mother is about 4'5" 4'6" and her mother says she is 4'9" and the reporter says well she wants to say she is 4'9". On 08Feb2021 the patient had the COVID vaccine and then she had the itching behind her ears, on her neck, across her chest, and under her breasts. Clarified the date the itching began an 09Feb2021. The patient put something on that eliminated some of the bumps and every now and then the itching and scratching will feel like she's bleeding, but she is not bleeding anywhere. The bumps are still there. They are still red, the bumps are not red, they are an irritation. Conflicting information obtained in regard to bumps, unable to clarify or obtain further details due to the reporter not wanting to complete the safety report. Some areas of redness: Reporter says it is not really red, it is more off an off-color, pinkish. Reporter states that she can tell there's an irritation on the patient's skin from itching. Up all night: The patient was up last night 10Feb2021 when she went to bed. Reporter mentioned that her mother doesn't always relay information correctly. Company agent is unable to clarify if the inability to relay information correctly began prior to receiving the COVID vaccine or after due to the reporter not wanting to complete the safety report. The patient was up all night itching the last two nights. She feels the itching and gets some relief from an ointment she is using. Reporter is not sure of the name of the ointment off hand, but the patient was provided the ointment it is from the doctor. Unable to probe for NDC, lot number, or expiry date of ointment that only provided some relief to her mother as reporter did not wish to complete the safety report. Probed for NDC, expiry date, and dosage and reporter says this information is not on the vaccination card. Caller says the lot number is an "E" and she can't make up the next letter before 9262, it's either EL or E1 and it is separated from 9262, there is a space between them. Lot number is either: EL9262 or E19262 based on information provided from the reporter. Reporter says the mother takes medications everyday. She takes ones for her blood pressure, cholesterol, and Lomotil medication for her stomach issues. Reporter asks how much longer this is going to take and what further questions will be asked. She doesn't think the rest of the report is necessary she just wanted to report that her mother had the rash and the itching. Unable to clarify information regarding said rash with the reporter as being related to the redness and bumps mentioned previously in the report or if this rash is a different event that was experienced. Medical Conditions: Unable to obtain further information due to reporter not wanting to complete the rest of the safety report. Investigations: When informing the reporter that one question that will be asked for this report is if any testing has been done to what her mother experienced, the reporter says no. Unable to clarify if this means no testing has been completed or no to the reporter not wanting to answer the question at this time since she did not want to complete the safety report. Informed caller that an additional form is part of the safety report, caller declined to complete the safety report so unable to obtain further information and confirm given information to fill out the vaccine supplemental form. Reporter calling on behalf of the side effects experienced from her mother after the COVID vaccine. For all events, outcome was not recovered, except for event up all night, outcome was unknown. Information about Batch/Lot number has been requested.

A 96-years-old female patient received bnt162b2 (BNT162B2), dose 2 via an unspecified route of administration, administered in Arm Left on 28Mar2021 (Batch/Lot Number: EP6955) as 2ND DOSE, SINGLE for covid-19 immunisation. Medical history included Leukaemia in 2018, High blood pressure with 40 years, Diabetes in 2016, Atrial fibrillation in 2018.The patient's concomitant medications were not reported. Patient previously received the first dose of BNT162B2 (Batch/lot number: EN6199) in left arm on 07Mar2021 for COVID-19 immunization. She had just had her blood drawn in Feb2021 and her blood was ok. So on 07Mar2021 she received her first Covid 19 vaccine. At 96 years old, after the Covid 19 vaccine, her mother's body was full blown with leukemia. Radiation wasn't an option to stop the overproducing of her white blood cells. The Covid 19 vaccine just accelerated it. Maybe there are others out there in this condition and should be double checking to see if they should get the Covid 19 vaccine. On the 12Apr2021 or 13Apr2021 her mother started having a hollow cough. She wasn't congested but she continued to cough. She noticed her mother was breathing heavy and fighting to breathe on Friday, on16Apr2021. It wasn't getting any better and she thought her mother would have more trouble so she took her to the emergency room. She reported she took her mother to the hospital on 16Apr2021.She was admitted on 16Apr2021 and discharged on 18Apr2021. They gave her some oxygen and did some tests. They asked her mother if she had chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and she did not, they suggested that it was her atrial fibrillation. She has had atrial fibrillation in the past, her doctor did leave her on her atrial fibrillation medication. She can't recall the name of the atrial fibrillation medication. She was discharged home on 18Apr2021 and she was breathing ok on her own. But by that next Tuesday, 20Apr2021, she noticed her mother was declining. She wasn't acting like herself. On Wednesday, 21Apr2021, she was more tired and her difficulty breathing started back up. On Thursday, 22Apr2021, she called the ambulance to take her mother to the hospital. She could tell that her mother wasn't herself, she could hardly talk on 22Apr2021 , she couldn't stand up, she lost control of her bowels. She wasn't responding to her. The caller knew something was going on. They put oxygen on her mother and they transferred her to a cancer specialist hospital. That's when the doctor realized it was a leukoblast. Clarified with caller, leukoblast. Then her mother died. She died on 28Apr2021.The caller knows the hospital was doing tests to see what was causing her mother's pain, but she doesn't have that information. She heard the screams from her mother and there was no consoling her mother. The hospital gave her mother morphine and it didn't work. She has no product information for the morphine, it was given in the hospital. She was screaming for murder, screaming for help and was given the morphine. Within a month of receiving the Covid 19 vaccine her leukemia was back and her mother was screaming in agony and pain because her sides were blowing up in pain. Whatever the Covid 19 vaccine did in her body, her body thought it was fighting off something. She had no red blood cells that could provide oxygen to her organs. She was weak. Overproducing of her white blood cells on an unspecified date. The lab data included White blood cell count abnormal and Red blood cell count decreased.

One day after injection, acted the exactly the same as she did the day she was hospitalized for COVID at Hospital in Dec 2020. She had fever around 101F, was too weak to sit up or feed herself or do anything other than lay down. She did not respond to tylenol. I got a virtual visit with her doctor, to decide if to go to the e.r. and we agreed to try one more tylenol in the late afternoon and she got slightly better, so we delayed hospitalization. So after that she slowly recovered over several days. She was weak for about a week. Her doctor suggested she not get the second dose because she probably still has lots of antibodies in her and had an antibody reaction. I'm a reporting this because i want to know if people who had COVID and only one dose of vaccine with a severe COVID like reaction like this can be officially considered "immune " and get a vaccine "passport".
