They took my vitals - blood pressure was 116/73 and temperature was still 102.6. Paramedics offered to take me to the hospital but I refused. Paramedics told my wife that if my breathing became labored, she should get me to the ER or call 911 again.

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

Outcome of events for cough, pain and tiredness was not recovered and for the rest of the events it was unknown. No follow-up attempts are possible. No further information is expected.

mental fog/bit of fog; foggy; Nausea; very sleepy; tired; Injection site pain/pain to the injection site; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable consumer (patient). A 77-year-old male patient received the first dose of BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, lot number and expiration date were not reported), via an unspecified route of administration, administered in the left arm on 19Feb2021 08:40 at a single dose for COVID-19 immunisation. Medical history included atrial fibrillation (Afib) about 10 years ago (2011). Concomitant medication included unspecified medications including blood thinner and Afib medications. The patient takes 6 medications: some of those medications for 40 years, some for a bit less. There were a couple more added for his heart because 10 years ago he had a case of Afib and the doctor who has now retired took him from 3 meds to 6; and has had no issues for the last 10 years. The patient had his first dose on 19Feb2021 at a clinic and was due/scheduled for his second on 12Mar2021. The patient had severe reactions to the first one so he wanted to know if he should accelerate second shot or stay within three weeks. His reaction was for the first two weeks, he had severe nausea, etcetera, which was getting better that week. He gives 20-minute presentations each morning and the participants in the presentation were nice about it but they say that the patient has fog and thought he should see if he should go in sooner as they were worried about him. His only symptoms remaining after two weeks of severe reactions was that he was very sleepy. All that was left was being tired and mentally in a bit of fog (also reported as mental fog). The patient only had pain to the injection site for a day and was not an issue, then it didn't take long for him to start getting extremely tired and have nausea. He says all he knows was that from the sheet listing severe reactions, he had every one during the first couple weeks (unspecified), though he never had a fever. He says this week he felt better and he was starting to eat, this was not normal for him to be tired all the time, but at least he was not sick. He says he didn't treat the pain or nausea, because he was healthy as a horse, and has no problems with a vaccine, shots don't bother him other than having soreness the first day. The patient was just foggy and tired. The patient was recovering from nausea. The patient recovered from injection site pain on 20Feb2021. The patient has not recovered from mental fog/bit of fog and tired. The outcome of the remaining events was unknown. Information on the lot/batch number has been requested.

spiking of his blood pressure; sore arm; legs swollen; pain on one leg; on and off nausea; not feeling right; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable consumer (patient). A 77-years-old male patient received bnt162b2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 mRNA VACCINE), dose 2 via an unspecified route of administration on 24Feb2021 (Lot number was not reported) at the age of 77 years, as a single dose for COVID-19 immunization. The patient medical history and concomitant medications were not reported. Historical vaccine included BNT162B2, dose 1 on unspecified date for COVID-19 immunization. On an unspecified date the patient experienced spiking of his blood pressure, sore arm, legs swollen, pain on one leg, on and off nausea, not feeling right. The patient had lab tests and procedures which included blood pressure measurement: 190/80. The clinical outcome of the events was unknown. The clinical course was reported as follows: 77-year-old caller reported receiving his second dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine 24Feb2021 and experienced a "sore arm" after. He explained that a week after vaccination, on the Monday, he " woke up with his legs swollen and pain on one leg". He stated he also experienced spiking of his blood pressure (BP), however on Monday 03Mar2021 he went to the ER since his BP rose over 190/80. He explained at the ER, he guessed they got him more call, and he received a prescription of "water pills" to take for "a couple weeks". He added then, there were moments when he "didn't feel right". He specified he would be "good" in the morning then he "just didn't feel right" in the afternoon. He reported about a month later, 13Apr2021 he had a "second incident with the spiking" of his BP, which led him to the ER. He explained his cardiologist then changed his amlodipine prescription to "5mg in the morning and 5mg at night". He explained he would take 1 pill of Amlodipine 10mg in the morning before vaccination. He added he would take 5mg of amlodipine for a year before being increased to that 10mg a day. He explained before vaccination, he "never experienced such spiking with his BP and considers himself healthy for his age. DSU agent reported his BP is generally around 120/70 and he routinely use the treadmill. He mentioned he now seems ok, has not have a "violent" BP spike, but has "not felt 100%" yet. He added some days he is "fine" and others he has "on and off nausea" or he "feels his legs are swollen in the evening". The main reason for his call is to see if Pfizer have any experience with people who have covid, the long haulers, with the effects for quite a while, that are 3 months in. He was wondering whether or not any long hauler folks that have had on and off side effects attributed it to the vaccine. Information about Lot Batch number has been requested.

The adverse events (AEs) following prior vaccinations: Adverse Event: He was pretty sure he hit the floor before the needle was even out of his arm when he was administered gamma globulin vaccine which he thinks was around year 1972. The company he worked for at the time had a hepatitis break out, a couple of employees had hepatitis, so they had him receive the gamma globulin vaccine. Vaccine/Brand Name: Gamma globulin vaccine/brand name unknown, whatever it was that was available for hepatitis at the time which he thinks would have been 1972. He is pretty sure in those days they used horse serum in the gamma globulin vaccine; the doctors at the time felt pretty sure that the reaction was to the horse serum aspect of the gamma globulin vaccine. Lot/NDC/Expiry: Unknown, he does not have product or this information to provide. Vaccination Date: Thinks would have been in 1972, further details unknown. Patient's Medical History (including any illness at time of vaccination) Provide other relevant medical history including but not limited to these conditions: diagnosed allergies, compromised immune status, respiratory illness, genetic / chromosomal abnormalities, endocrine abnormalities (including diabetes) and obesity: All relevant information documented in formal fields of other conditions. Family Medical History Relevant to AE(s) was reported as none. There was no history of all previous immunization with the Pfizer vaccine considered as suspect (or patient age at first and subsequent immunizations if dates of birth or immunizations are not available). There were not any other vaccinations within four weeks prior to the first administration date of the suspect vaccine. He was supposed to have the Shingrix vaccine but decided to hold off on that until after he got the Pfizer COVID-19 Vaccine. He had the Flu vaccine around Sep2020 or Oct2020 when the senior version came out. Ongoing Concomitant medications included: losartan 100mg daily from 2019 for high blood pressure, furosemide (LASIX) 20mg daily from 2019 for high blood pressure causing some fluid buildup, fenofibrate 134mg daily for years for triglycerides, finasteride 5mg daily for years for benign prostatic hyperplasia, multivitamins, boosters of other vitamins (advised by PCP since COVID pandemic started), insulin lispro (HUMALOG) fast acting insulin taken as needed for diabetes, insulin glargine (TOUJEO) slow acting insulin taken as needed for diabetes. It was reported patient stated, he had his first dose of the Pfizer vaccine a week ago Friday 29Jan2021 at 10am. He had a sore shoulder and fatigue. At midnight he suffered abdominal cramping by 7am. He took himself to the ER and called his doctor who met him there. He had an intestinal blockage. His peristalsis shut down. He spent a couple days on an NG tube, had x-rays and imaging study, they found a small bowel blockage. It seemed very coincidental within 18 hours of the vaccine. He had them when he was younger. His physician who was an GI specialist said he had 2-3 other patients with similar reactions. He spoke to the safety team regarding this. He was due for his 2nd vaccine a few weeks. Right now his bowels were very irritated, not consistent to bowel movements. He was still on a low fiber diet. Asked if there was any evidence people are having gastrointestinal reaction. He had had blockages in the past, that was his weakness. Asked what to do about 2nd dose. He had asthma, diabetes type 2, mildly hypertensive. This consumer had his first dose of Pfizer COVID-19 Vaccine 29Jan2021 at approximately 10:00. On 29Jan2021 at about 23:30, he had went through usual drowsiness and took a nap. Around midnight 00:00 30Jan2021 he started having abdominal cramps that became very severe. He was taken to the Emergency Room where he was admitted to the hospital from 30Jan2021 until discharged home evening of 03Feb2021. Severe abdominal cramps: His peristalsis stopped, just shut down. As a result he had an intestinal blockage. He had nasogastric tube placed for 4 days. He was scheduled for surgery with a gastrointestinal surgeon who he happens to know personally. He had called that gastrointestinal surgeon before he was admitted to the hospital. The gastrointestinal surgeon thought he heard some sounds, so he delayed the surgery. That night the intestinal blockage broke up. He was discharged from the hospital before they normally would have released him to get people out as quickly as possible due to risk of contagion in hospitals. Both he and the gastrointestinal surgeon are very concerned about him having the second dose of Pfizer COVID-19 Vaccine as scheduled which is due in like 1.5 weeks. The plan at this time is for him to go on a liquid diet 2 days before the second dose so that there is nothing in him to create intestinal block. Outcomes of events: Bowel movements are irregular because just starting to get back into eating really for a few days. The first few days home he was on a soft diet of basically jell-o pudding and broths. He is on an ultra-low fiber diet right now so it's a different diet than he is accustomed to. Some of what he is eating goes right through, other times there is no bulk to come out; he kind of feels like he is constipated but it is just that there is nothing there. Doctor later this week will determine how much he can normalize his diet. Metamucil which a lot of diabetics do, doctor did not want him to take that until everything settles down. He feels bruised; his guts just feel bruised; he thinks from just the pressure there and getting in and out of the hospital bed was horrible. When he called doctor before he went to the hospital 30Jan2021, doctor told him this is coincidence, that this patient was the third that he has had who in 24 hours has had significant intestinal or bowel reaction; that he is not the first who has dealt with severe gastrointestinal problems following the Pfizer COVID-19 Vaccine. Caller clarified he has no first hand knowledge of those other patients/events/products, this was just mentioned to him by the doctor over the phone. He had no further information to provide for this report; but doctor might be able to provide further information. Relevant Tests: they did a COVID test when he was admitted to hospital 30Jan2021, gave results when he left the hospital-took them 6 days-unknown result. They did X-rays and scan of his abdomen to monitor intestinal blockage-results unknown. Blood work done but nothing remarkable there-results unknown. His blood pressure actually was low while in hospital-specific results unknown. Glucose levels were very high while in hospital which he is sure was because they had him on an IV drip that must have had glucose in it because he was not eating anything and when in pain and anxiety his sugar goes up-further details of results unknown. Patient had no further information to provide regarding testing/investigations/lab work, blood work, imaging, x-rays, etc for this report. Outcome of events were reported as unknown.

On March 2, he woke up feeling bad and had a fever of 102.7. He took tylenol and liquids all day and the fever came down to around 100. The next morning he woke up complaining of excruciating pain in his left arm (site of the injection). He couldn't stand to have anything touch it, couldn't move it and couldn't sleep because of the pain. The next morning he woke up very weak, wasn't able to speak clearly, wasn't making sense. He had a telemedicine appointment scheduled that morning for another matter. The doctor took one look at him and said we should have him evaluated asap. I took him to the emergency room at Hospital. They did some tests and said he was septic and immediately put him into the ICU. He was started on IV antibiotics while the blood cultures were growing out. It was determined that the bacteria was Strep G but they were unable to identify the source. He was put on a ventilator and an echo cardiogram was done. It was believed that the source of the infection was his pacemaker and I was told the pacemaker would have to be removed. They couldn't do it at that hospital. He was transferred to another hospital. The doctors at that hospital determined the pacemaker was not the source. It was believed by some doctors that the source of infection was the injection site. The infection was cleared from his body and the ventilator was removed after 2 weeks. He lived another 2 weeks but never was able to recover. Until the day he was put on paliative care, he expressed pain in the arm where he had received the vaccination. He died at 5:30 a.m. on April 1, 2021.

By 4th day, began having problems with my memory. I could not figure out some instructions on a computer program. I had some trouble recognizing a common object in my hand. Then mild ataxia. Excessive sleepiness in 2-3 hour intervals. On 8th day, developed abdominal pain similar to diverticulitis. And became very constipated. I had forgotten to take the Parnate and missed two doses. I had forgotten to take Metamucil and Miralax. these led to the constipation and abdominal pain. On advice of psychopharmacologist, I resumed Parnate and started to feel better. I resumed laxatives and good effect. Abdominal symptoms abated in two additional days. I had gone to ER but seen only informally by my medical friends. After 3 hour, and getting better, I left. Blood tests were normal. No exam. Since 02/27/2021, I have felt perfectly normal. Recovered.

A 79-year-old male patient received BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 MRNA VACCINE), via an unspecified route of administration, dose 2, administered in Arm Right on 11Mar2021 (Batch/Lot Number: EN6204) as SINGLE DOSE for COVID-19 immunization.

There were no concomitant medications. The patient got the second dose of BNT162B2. The patient was fine, had no problems until 15Mar20201 (4 days afterwards), the patient stated, "I started getting chills, shaking uncontrollably , nausea, fatigue, a little bit of everything. I wouldn't be calling you but this has not subsided. It's been 3 weeks now and I'm not feeling well. It ebbs and tides. I've been taking a diary. I went to the ER last Monday because I was wheezing in the morning and had shortness of breathe in between all the other symptoms. They did all kind of blood tests, covid test which was negative, chest x-ray showed bronchitis. Blood work and ultrasound of my bladder with unknown results. They sent me home with a inhaler, steroid and an antibiotic and every day since then it seems like at night 9, or 10 o'clock I start feeling better and sleep through the night. My fever is 97.7 degrees fahrenheit but about 2, 3 or 4 o'clock my fever ticks up a little and I start to feel lousy, my stomach feels. I feel like I have hot flashes; a feeling of warmth with achiness and lack of appetite. So I take my Tylenol 7 or 8 o'clock at night my temperature is 97.7F. I haven't had 1 good day since. I've been to my doctor, ER, I've talked with the CDC. What information do you have for people who have had long term symptoms/side effects? What am I supposed to do? Someone from Pfizer needs to give me advice. If not I'll go to the news network. I don't feel well. It's directly related. No one has given me relief or help. It's impacting my life. I've been sick every day. Is there someone above you who can tell me what to do? I took their (Pfizer's) vaccine that was recommended. It was your vaccine. Not mine. Someone has to have an answer for me. Unless you want to go and have lawsuit and the news. Just think about it, if you had to go through the symptoms of having the flu everyday. Please relay this to someone. If I don't heard back within a week, then I'm going ballistic. It's not going to be pretty. Someone has to get back to me to help. I want someone to tell me that I'm not crazy, I'm not the only experiencing this. There has to be an answer. I took your vaccine. You are responsible. I want to know. I can't be the only one in the whole world who is feeling like this. I've been to the ER and the doctors. I've had every side effects but theirs go away in a few days, but mine hasn't. I need advice, that I'm not nuts, something that will help me get better. I want to feel better. It's effecting my family my life. Doesn't it seem odd? I can't be the only one? Someone has to know something. They (drug companies) like to hide the facts. I am sick because I took BNT162B2 vaccine. I need someone to get back to me." After the second dose of BNT162B2, the patient has been experiencing an achy feeling, heat throughout the body, shivering, shaking, trouble walking, and some fever. He reports taking Tylenol, and that helps, but he is still having symptoms that come and go and it has been 3 weeks since the second injection of the Pfizer covid-19 vaccine. He reports going to the ER for treatment after the second injection, and a COVID-19 test was negative and they did not find anything else other than the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine that would be causing his symptoms. The events hasn't gone away, it's now about 3.5 weeks and he hasn't had a good day since then he has been experiencing chills and fever. It goes away for a couple hours, it goes away till around 9 or 10PM at night, then he is good at night, then in the afternoons around 2PM or so the fever kind of comes back and instead of chills he is getting warm flush, when taking his temperature he notices it ticks up. He is taking Tylenol every 6 hours. He would like to know if this is normal and have others reports this? The First time he experienced the chills and fatigue it was on 18Feb2021.

This 80-year-old male patient received the second dose of BNT162b2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 mRNA VACCINE, Lot Number: UNKNOWN) via unspecified route in Apr2021 (at the age of 79-years-old) as a single dose for the corona virus, to get rid of it/ it's supposed to be sure he didn't get it. Patient had no medical history. There was no relevant family medical history. There were no additional vaccines administered on same date of the COVID-vaccine. Patient had no adverse events following prior vaccinations. He remembers his first polio shot he got that back in the early 50's and his second shot was a cube of sugar, called the salt vaccine. Stated he's been getting vaccines for a long time and he never had any trouble with any of them. The patient previously received the initial dose of the BNT162b2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 mRNA VACCINE) in 2021 (March or April) in the left arm which was deemed invalid by the vaccination provider due to temperature related issues (i.e wasn't cold enough). He explained he received a letter informing him of this incident and recommending a replacement dose (which he thinks was on 06Apr2021). About 2 to 3 weeks before he got his first COVID shot, he got a flu shot in his left arm, about 4 or 5 inches above where he got his COVID shot. The patient's concomitant medications were not specified. He reported that the second vaccine (BNT162b2) caused him problems. On 06May2021, he woke up with his right wrist twice as thick as his left one, it was swollen real bad. The right wrist was quite sore and painful. He didn't know if he was getting carpal tunnel or what it was, so he went to the ER about it and they gave him three different kinds of pills, two of which included tramadol 50mg one every day and ibuprofen 400 mg. The ER couldn't determine the cause for his reaction. About 3-4 days after taking the prescribed medication, his reaction subsided quite a bit and was not nearly as hurtful, but his left wrist then started swelling and being painful/sore. Therefore, he continued to take his medication and it improved. It was like that for a couple/ three days, and it calmed down. He thought he was okay 2-3 days ago, but this morning (14May2021), his right shoulder was swollen and pretty sore and was getting worse; he was in so much pain, so sore he could hardly even move his arm, he couldn't pick it up straight in the air, couldn't get his elbow up past his ear. The patient also reported that when he got off his bed, his left knee was sore and it felt like a fire underneath his kneecap and he was having trouble walking. The left knee was swollen real bad and was hotter than a firecracker. Thus, he went back to taking his pill again. The knee pain started the morning of 14May2021 about the same time it seemed and has worsened, and he took a 400mg ibuprofen and the other pill he's taking, "100 mg doxycycline or something". Patient hadn't been doing much since, he was feeling kind of laid up, he had thought it was all done with yesterday (13May2021). He stated he's been hearing things about allergic reactions to this COVID shot, was sure that a lot of people are having complaints of allergic reactions, and was sure he's not the only one who has had a problem like this. He asked if there was anything he can take to block it because he is sure when this calms down after a week or whatever, it will be his in his right knee or left shoulder or wrists or ankles and he's 100% it's about that COVID shot. He stated he's never had arthritis before. He stated that he has never had any problems like this before. He is supposed to go see his doctor in a week or two. He tried to call the doctor to make an appointment, but he figured he would wait a couple days, but he is hurting bad today (14May2021), and he hasn't been to anybody yet except for the ER. The patient stated it looks like the vaccine is methodically causing this spread into his body. He also reported that it feels warm outside of his left wrist, towards the edge of it and all the way to the joint of the little finger and he thinks the swelling will start again. He expressed feeling anxious about his reactions. He asked if there were any kinds of pills he could take to block the effects of the vaccine from working in his body. He stated it seems like it's going from one area to the next and it seems like it's going through his joints and he doesn't like that. His left wrist still got a little bit of soreness in the back near the joint, but doesn't appear to be swollen. Regarding the right wrist, he has recovered completely, it feels better; doesn't feel any soreness in any place and doesn't look swollen. The clinical outcome of right wrist twice as thick/left wrist started swelling recovered on unspecified date; left wrist painful/sore not recovered; right shoulder is so sore not recovered; left knee was sore not recovered; anxious was unknown; feels "warm" outside of his left wrist/ felt like a fire underneath his kneecap was unknown; left knee is swollen not recovered; arm was so sore unknown; carpal tunnel unknown; trouble walking unknown; right shoulder was swollen was not recovered.

heart attack; chest pressure; hardly slept; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable consumer (patient's wife). An 80-year-old male patient (reported also as 81-years-old, to be clarified) received the first dose of BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, Lot # EL3246), via an unspecified route of administration, on 13Jan2021 at single dose for COVID-19 immunisation. Age at vaccination was 80-years-old. Medical history included ongoing emphysema and ongoing diabetes (caller has been diagnosed for 35 years for both conditions), heart was damaged because of the diabetes, and a history of bypass 4 years ago however he hasn't had any issues with chest pressure since before the bypass. Concomitant medications were none. On 15Jan2021 at 1:am he developed pressure in the chest which ultimately resolved. This trouble last night, lasted over 1 hour. He couldn't get back to bed. He had to sleep sitting up on the sofa. That was the only way he was comfortable. Her husband has hardly slept. She was seeing how he was doing. He said he was okay sitting. The pressure on his chest would go away while he was sitting, but laying down it would come back. This morning (15Jan2021) she made him check when he woke up at 8 o'clock. She made him lay down, and he said it was gone after sitting the whole night. He is well now. He is feeling fine. He didn't even ask for help getting on his clothes. He got the vaccine because of his age and because of underlying conditions. Her husband has done very well this year. He even has underlying conditions. He has had Emphysema for 35 years, but it hasn't been bothering him. He has also had diabetes for 35 years. The reporter spoke to her husband's hcp (nurse) who said it could have a heart attack and for him to go to hospital if it reoccurs. She did speak with a nurse with his primary doctor, and she said the pressure in his chest for 1 hour could have been a heart attack. That if it occurs again to give him the nitroglycerin. She told the nurse it wasn't pain. The reporter stated chest pressure could have been a heart attack. He is scheduled to get the 2nd dose on 21Jan2021. The reporter was wondering if her husband can have the second dose given it has potassium in it (given he has bypass history). The reporter is afraid the vaccine is not safe, and they may not go for the second vaccine. She wants more information if it is safe. The events recovered on 15Jan2021.

Thighs, calves, butt, hips, biceps, forearms, and inside area between bicep and lower arm (opposite side of elbow) which would keep me awake at night due to the pain. That pain was only at night, the other pains were during the day and most times would last the whole day, but other times would lessen as the day went on. I still cannot sleep on my left side, due to hip and arm pain, but the very painful left arm pain persists as described above even when sleeping on my right side. I still have these pains as of the date of this writing, April 17, 2021.

Concomitant medication included atenolol. The patient had the first dose of bnt162b2 vaccine (Lot EN6023) on 27Feb2021 for covid-19 immunization and experienced hypertension aggravated. He went back to doctor and had been taking Atenolol for blood pressure. It has always been dose 50/25. His blood pressure was up just a bit and he cannot verify who this girl was that changed it to 100/25. He did not like the way he felt and eliminated it and went back to the previous dose. He had two over a period of 2-3 days. It is in a pharmacy vial. He does not have a lot or expiration for the Atenolol 100/25. The date his blood pressure was up was for the past couple of times.Usually, it is 120/60-70 and then it jumped up to 150/60-70 and that is why it needed to be changed. It was filled on 18Mar2021, which was after first vaccine but before second dose. Patient got deathly sick over the weekend on 02Apr2021. He had the shot on 20 Mar 2021, and it has been more than the two days you could have a reaction. He was deathly sick. On 02Apr2021, he had just about all of the symptoms; sweaty, chills, face red, and hands red, indigestion, constipation and could not go to the bathroom. He was about as sick as he had ever been.

On 31Mar2021, he goes to a pain center and got shots in his neck. He asked the doctor if his shot had anything different than he had been getting and he confirmed that it was no different. He never had a reaction before the one he got on 31Mar2021, and thought it may have been the virus shot. He said one other thing happened and is not sure if it had anything to do with it or not. He just started to feel worse and worse. Today is the first day he felt better. He is 80 and has not been this sick. It got really bad but today it is much better. He did not sleep for two days and last night he slept and feels better. For the indigestion, it got worse before it got better. For constipation, he got relief last night and that is why he feels better today. NO ER or physician's office required- He had a previously scheduled office visit for pain center.

Treatment team COVID-19 Principal problem Chronic anticoagulation Persistent atrial fibrillation (CMS/HCC) COVID-19 Confusion Hypoxemia Hospital Course: In his hospital stay we managed his medical issues as follows; Confusion/Syncope in the setting of COVID-19 infection Chronic atrial fibrillation/sinus node dysfunction Hypertension Prediabetes Patient received first dose of vaccination on 3/16 and afterwards started having muscle aches and body pains, later on found out to be having Covid 19+ test, he might be having Covid infection before vaccination as well and symptoms showed with vaccination. On 3/24 he was found out to be having confusion, family called EMS. They tried to debride patient on his feet and he collapsed for about 10 seconds. He did mention that he usually get dizziness/lightheadedness upon standing from bed. Although patient has a history of A. fib but remained rate controlled during hospital stay, we held his antihypertensives including HCTZ and ARBwhile continued his Eliquis. I believe his syncope was likely due to dehydration with decreased oral intake in the setting of acute illness with COVID-19 symptoms. Before discharge is blood pressure was rising so his ARB were restarted while decision regarding HCTZ will be made by primary care physician. In regard to his COVID-19 infection, initially was started on 2 L of supplemental oxygen but his oxygen demand decreased rapidly and most of the time he remained room air, he was not showing any dyspnea, cough, fever or any other generalized symptoms of Covid 19 infection. He did get plasma and remdesivir while inpatient, decision was made to discharge him on 3/26 as patient was symptom-free. He also had received first dose of vaccination. I believe that he would need further remdesivir. We will continue him on steroids for now after completion of dexamethasone for next 8 days he can recent resume his home medication of prednisone.

crying; feeling nausea; depression; feeling dizziness; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable consumer (patient's wife). An 80-year-old male patient received BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE), via an unspecified route of administration, administered in Arm Left on 17May2021 09:00 (Batch/Lot Number: ER8729) as 1st dose, single for covid-19 immunization. Medical history included heart valve replacement from 12Mar2021, kidney infection, had a heart bypass and is diabetic. The patient has no concomitant medications. The patient got the Pfizer Covid Vaccine on 17May2021, and the next day (18May2021) he woke up with dizziness. The reporter asked how long the symptoms last after the Covid vaccine. He is sort of getting nausea when he tries to get up. He was also real depressed. It kind of started the next day after the vaccine (18May2021), but Wednesday she was concerned because the patient was crying a lot which is unusual for him. The nausea started today (25May2021). He hasn't been up and about. The dizziness is about the same. They called his primary caregiver who started him on some antidepressants. She picked up the information sheet that was given to them with the Covid vaccine and read there that dizziness was a side effect and a feeling of impending doom which is sort of how he was feeling. Now that's why she was wondering when the symptoms would be over. She doesn't really think he needs anything. He has never been depressed. She thinks now it is a side effect from the vaccine. She thinks the depression has improved. He is not crying anymore, but somebody is with him all the time. This was his first dose of the vaccine. He is supposed to go back on 07Jun2021 for his second. The outcome the event depression was recovering, event crying was recovered on an unspecified date and the other events was not recovered.

I notified my primary care doctor at the VA, as well as audio dept.

Was probably the lymph node.; coughs; very mild sore arm; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable consumer (patient). An 81-year-old male patient received bnt162b2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, Solution for injection), dose 1 via an unspecified route of administration, administered in left arm at the age of 81-year-old on 27Mar2021 (Lot Number: EP6955) as single dose for COVID-19 immunisation. Medical history included cancer from 2018 (started out with BCG treatments, where they insert bacteria into the bladder); Had another form of immunotherapy that didn't work too well for him and the cancer kept growing chemotherapy; Had a couple of operations and surgeries where the doctor removed it all but it came back. Best reaction was chemotherapy (It stopped the bleeding and was working on the cancer). Last one was 15Feb2021. Was getting blood work for every treatment. Had to miss one of the treatments due to low platelets. Has a chest port for treatments and blood work. Was very conscious before having chemo. It is kind of a rough thing to kill cancer but also kills good cells too. Definitely worked on killing the cancer for a while; the last treatment was 15Feb2021. Stage 4 was taking chemo. Had bladder cancer (which got out of the bladder and started spreading in to the lymph system), Height: used to be 5'7", is now maybe 5"4". The caller remarks that when he started with chemotherapy. he also lost a lot of weight. Weight: When he went in for last appointment it was 129 or 130 pounds. The patient's concomitant medications were not reported. The patient previously took chemotherapy nos from unknown date to 15Feb2021 for cancer. The patient experienced pain in neck and back on 28Mar2021, pain in chest on 29Mar2021. Caller stating that he and his wife had shot number one 27Mar2021 and are scheduled for second shot 20Apr2021. Wife had no symptoms, maybe a bit of a sore arm and he had the same reaction. Was a very mild sore arm in 2021. On day 2 or 3 on the right side of the neck, had felt a little nagging in Mar2021 and slight pain, especially when he moved and felt it around his back. It is just starting to go away now at 3 weeks. Around the back, around the perimeter and when he coughs in Mar2021, he can feel it in his chest. He is scheduled for the second shot. Is wondering if the second shot will have those symptoms. It's not like it is anything severe, it is just nagging. What worries is him, is that it lasted this long. Is a cancer patient and had last chemotherapy 15Feb2021. His oncologist said to go ahead and take the shot because he really needs the protection. It was asked what if he has the same reaction again. Will go on website but wanted to find out what other people are experiencing and whether or not to take the second shot. Wants to take it for protection. Really wants to take the shot on Tuesday. Pain in neck and back: Only when he coughs, is more of an ache. Started day 2 after vaccine on 28Mar2021. Was like a very dull irritation in the right side of the neck in Mar2021. Was probably the lymph node in Mar2021. Pain in chest: When he sneezes in Mar2021, there is a sharp pain, all around the perimeter of his chest. Is gone as soon as he stops coughing. Feels when muscles are contracting in Mar2021. Started day 3 after getting the vaccine on 29Mar2021. Stage 4 was taking chemo. Had bladder cancer, which got out of the bladder and started spreading in to the lymph system. Wants to be put on immunotherapy but can't until he is finished with his shots. If he gets the immunotherapy and if he has a reaction, would have to use steroids and they do not want to do that with the vaccine. The doctor wanted to start him earlier on the immunotherapy but thought it was important to get the vaccine first, that taken care of. The pain is only sharp if he lifts something. Otherwise, it is just dull. He knows it is there. It is not completely gone. This morning was the best that he had. Really got good sleep last night. The best since it has happened. When he sneezes, he can kind of feel it around his chest, just around the perimeter of the muscles. Treatment: The first couple of days, just put up with it. Took Tylenol one day and then on another day. Takes at bedtime. Does not like taking Tylenol because it effects his liver. If he doesn't need it, he doesn't take it. In the last week, every night he has been less and less bothered by how he slept. Last night he didn't even know he had it, the pain, and slept really well. Have not taken any meds, just Tylenol on day 4 and 5 to help sleep. Therapeutic measures were taken as a result of events. The outcome of events very mild sore arm, sneezes and feels when muscles are contracting was unknown. The outcome of other events was recovering. No follow-up attempts are needed. No further information is expected.

An 83-year-old male patient received BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, Solution for injection; Batch/Lot number and Expiration date were not reported), via an unspecified route of administration on 12Apr2021 (at the age of 83-years-old) as 1st dose, single for COVID-19 immunisation. Medical history included blood pressure and mild case of COVID-19 both from an unknown date. Concomitant medication included lisinopril taken for an unspecified indication, start and stop date was not reported. On an unspecified date, the patient experienced chills, fever, weakness, i had couple of days when i had cough at night and little bit of this and that, I am worrying about the reaction because I didn't realize that I probably had covid antibodies from the mild case that I had and then the shot hit me, was really bit apprehensive, muscle ache, tired, I had like laryngitis type like my vocal cords were little bit swelled and aches. It was reported that the patient had his first Pfizer shot last week and Monday, he had quite a reaction about four to five hours later and had chills, fever and weakness and so forth. He called one of the pharmacists about it and was asked if he had COVID before. The patient said that he was checked in for that but last month or so and was not checked down but he had couple of days when he had cough at night and little bit of this and that and he suspected that he might have something. The patient had COVID before he got the first shot within 5 or 30 days and that is why he got that reaction when that shot hit him. Now, the patient was concerned about the second shot, like if he will have a problem with that too, he was worrying to go to from about 2 or 3 days for that shot which was scheduled for next Monday, believed it is 3rd of May. The patient was really bit apprehensive about getting the shot simply because they usually recommend 90 days, in other words, after someone had COVID, to not get vaccination until at least 90 days afterwards. So, he was not sure what to do. The patient took as recommended for the fever, he took Tylenol and it was helpful as far as the aches, muscle ache and all that. Also, he was still very tired and the fever that he got after the shot was only for one day or he got it that night and lasted maybe till the next day and he was sure that it's going to come down and he will feel better. The weakness that linked, had a cough anyway, was going through this cough a little bit and had muscle ache. He also had like laryngitis type like his vocal cords were little bit swelled but was now getting better and it took like a good week like week and a half and that's why he was concerned about the second shot. The patient thought what he was hoping to do, was to stop a week or two and give it a little bit of time because he may be close to the 90 day window, it appeared the best way to do that but he thought that it was what the experts should be able to tell him. The patient underwent lab tests and procedures which included COVID-19 virus test: No- Negative on 23Feb2021. Therapeutic measures were taken as a result of events fever, muscle ache and aches included TYLENOL. The outcome of the event I had like laryngitis type like his vocal cords were little bit swelled was recovering and the outcome of all the other events was unknown. No follow-up attempts are possible; information about lot/batch number cannot be obtained.

He started feeling woozy; Feels things in his workouts in his legs and feet, sometimes his back; He got a scratchy thing in his throat about 2 months ago; Exposed to Covid-19 after having vaccine; Caller states the second shot was really rough; This is a spontaneous report from a non-contactable consumer received from a Pfizer- sponsored program Pfizer RxPathways CEP 5570. A 84-year-old male patient received BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 mRNA VACCINE, Formulation: Solution for injection), via an unspecified route of administration on 17Feb2021 (at the age of 84-year-old) as a dose 2, single for COVID-19 immunisation. Medical history included cancer and had surgery, prostate surgery in Tombstone and caller stated he always has headaches. Concomitant medications were not reported. Historical vaccine included BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 mRNA VACCINE, Formulation: Solution for injection), via an unspecified route of administration on 27Jan2021 (at the age of 84-year-old) as a dose 1, single for COVID-19 immunisation. It was reported that, He gave transfer agent some dates of the 2nd, the 17th and the 21st and then stated it was the wrong one. Those were the dates the transfer agent was given. Transfer agent stated that, the caller never told her which vaccine it was. The caller was transferred to the call handler at that time he was asked to confirm information. The caller was asked whether he was calling about the Pfizer Covid-19 Vaccine when he referred to vaccine and he stated that, he has had both vaccines, he had them both way back. The caller stated that, the first was 27 21. Caller stated, it is the first month, call handler should not ask him that. The truth was, he cannot remember, was had been a while passed. Call handler asked for clarification of first month and caller does not provide. Call handler asked whether first month January and caller were stated that, it had to have been January or he does not know. The second was the 2nd, 17 27. The caller stated that was the second month, January and February. The call handler attempted clarification, but caller could not provide. He stated that, 27Jan2021 and 17Feb2021 he guesses means the second month and a first month, that was what was written on his card. No further clarification was provided. Dates remain unclear. The caller stated that, the second shot was really rough. It was a hard time before. The caller was asked for clarification and additional details were not provided. Caller stated that, he got the shot, he was skeptical about taking it but it was something he was taking. He was talking to a lot of different people and they were getting him to do what was important. The shots - the cold - nothing. He has never had to do that. He was really pretty to snuff other than at one point he got cancer and had surgery, prostate surgery, in Tombstone when he went through all that stuff. The caller did not provide additional details. Caller stated that, his problem was he saw his neighbor two weeks ago. He has not been talking to her a long time because she was over aggressive and pushy. He has tried to treat her kind but she was a drug addict and he was not interested in her or her lifestyle. He does her favors an cuts her grass. He was not interested in more than the process of doing this. Stated that, he had not talked to her in a long time and she stabbed him coming into the back of the house. She was stressed out and he thought she had a problem. He listened to this between him and her and at one point she got four or five feet from him and it was hot, like 90 something degrees. He was talking to her and he came back to her gate and then he started feeling woozy but maybe it was his head and heat. He could hardly get into the house. Since then, he was concerned about her because she said she had the virus and she worked at the hospital and she had the virus for 3 months and that was scary. The caller stated that, he always has headaches, he has always had them and that has nothing to do with this. The second shot gave him different types of things. Like, he had already had headaches so he could not say that was on the shot. Exposed to Covid-19 after having vaccine. Sometimes, he felt things in his workouts, in his legs and feet, sometimes his back. The caller did not clarified and stated that, he could not make a distinction between the workout and this particular thing. He workouts with 115 to 120 pounds every day and for a period of time it has happened over night. He has always done it, he started when 20 to 21 when it started. Stated that, he was not to the point he could not do what he had to do. He could walk and do all those things that has gotten better. He got a scratchy thing in his throat about 2 months ago. This occurred a long time after the vaccine. it was not so bad it was bothering him but he could still eat and do what he had to do. Still do normal things like his weights and stuff everyday. Something told him to get checked out and they told him to go back home because they could not believe he was so strong and he could hold 50 pounds. The caller was asked to clarify his question and events. Stated that, there was concern because he thought about what his neighbor said, that was 2 weeks ago he talked to her and he wanted to know what call handler thinks. The last two times he went to the hospital they said he did not have no Covid and sent him back home. Another day, they put him to another doctor. The caller stated that, he talked to call handler's office once before and she did not know the neighbor. He talked to and did checkups with Pfizer because he does not have knowledge and this was all new to him. The caller did not provide additional information. The caller stated that, not to stop and he was covered when he was talking to her. Caller clarified, he means that, he was wearing a mask and ever since he got the shot he was covered and the only time he was around people was the gas station or grocery store. He has no temperature and never did either. The caller was asked to clarify whether his question was regarding that, he had his Pfizer Covid-19 Vaccine and then was exposed to his neighbor who had Covid-19 for three months. The caller stated as yes, he wanted to know what call handler thinks because call handler works there and deals with people like him all day. The caller then stated that, he will tell call handler what - maybe he should call his doctor and if that was better he would call, where he has been there a long time and they can check him because of his athletic things and age. Stated that, he started calling them before Pfizer but it was lunch time. The outcome of the events was unknown. No follow-up attempts are possible, information about lot/batch number cannot be obtained.

My father received his first Pfizer vaccine on 02/03/21. On 2/12/21 I rushed him to the ER. He was vomiting uncontrollably and had shortness of breath. Once arrived at ER, they immediately put him on oxygen. Vomiting lasted several hours. They tested him for Covid and did a chest x-ray. Tested positive for Covid. Chest x-ray showed Covid pneumonia. Was admitted. Stayed in hospital for 5 days and was then released to nursing home for physical and occupational therapy. He was very weak and on days experienced what they called Covid fog. After 2 weeks of therapy, he was released on 03/06/21 to go back home to his apartment, with extended visiting nurse therapy. On 3/10/21, was the first visiting nurse appointment. At 12:00 an RN came to his apartment from Home Health Care. She checked his vitals. She said his blood pressure was good, lungs sounded good and oxygen level was 98. She said he was doing good and that she would not need to continue to come out and check on him weekly. She left. At 2:30 the same day, a Physical Therapist from Home Health Care came. She asked him lots of questions and adjusted my fathers' walker for him. He showed her how he was doing using the walker. Walked approximately 15-20 feet in his apartment. She checked his vitals before she left. His oxygen level was now at 91. She had him take a few deep breathes until his oxygen level was up to 93. She left and said she would be back on Friday the 12th to begin the actual physical therapy then. Within 10 minutes after she left my father started shaking uncontrollably and was having difficulties breathing. I called 911. Paramedics arrived. My fathers' oxygen level was all the way down to 74. They took him to the ER. When getting him out of ambulance he began vomiting. Vomiting lasted for hours just like when he went to the hospital back in February. They tried 3 different drugs to control the nausea. They did EKG, chest and abdomen scans. Was found that he had multiple blood clots and inflammation in his lungs and a bacterial infection in his blood. After testing, bacteria was found to be E Coli. Treated him with heparin for clots and antibiotics for infection and had him on oxygen in nose. Every day thereafter, he felt worse. They switched him to a high flow oxygen mask to keep his oxygen levels up. By Saturday night (early morning Sunday) on 03/14, they had taken the high flow oxygen mask off and hooked him up to a BiPap oxygen machine because his oxygen levels were dropping too low. We were then told by the lung doctor, that the damage to his lungs was extreme and that the next step would be to put him on a ventilator and feeding tube. My father did not want this per his will and his discussion with Dr earlier in the week. Dr indicated that he would not get better just being on the BiPap machine and we then chose to have them take him off of the machine because he did not want to go on life support. My father passed away on Sunday, March 14th around 6:30pm.

I thought I was having a heart attack; I had severe left arm pain; I didn't get much sleep that night; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable consumer (patient). An 86-year-old male patient received his second dose of BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, lot number: EN6206), via an unspecified route of administration at left upper arm on 08Mar2021 at single dose for COVID-19 immunization. Medical history included atrial fibrillation (AFib) and high blood pressure. Concomitant medications included unspecified medications. The patient was taking loads of medications. The patient received his first dose of BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, lot number and expiration date were not provided) at the age of 86-years-old, via an unspecified route of administration on 08Feb2021 at single dose for COVID-19 immunization and reported that he had no problems with the first dose. The patient experienced severe left arm pain at the arm where the shot was given on 08Mar2021, the night after he received his second COVID vaccine dose. He almost called a number because he thought he was having a heart attack. What he did was he got up to walk around and the pain went away and when he sat down on his recliner, the pain came back so he didn't get much sleep that night. He was fine the next day. The patient took an ASPIRIN 325 mg coated pill because he thought he might be having a heart attack. If he had known, he would have taken the vaccine on his right arm. His arm hurt the night of 08Mar2021 until 6:00 AM the following day. The patient then stated that his recommendation was to tell the people who are administering the shot that a left arm pain may possibly occur because anybody who has the left arm hurting is afraid and can think they have a heart attack. The outcome of the event pain in arm was recovered on 09Mar2021 at 06:00 AM, and recovered on 09Mar2021 for all other events.

Medical history included bad hearing problem. This consumer called on behalf of her husband to ask about possible side effects he was having. She reported that these possible side effects could be from Pfizer COVID-19 Vaccine or his other medications: glimepiride; Vitamin D; acetylsalicylic acid; apixaban; simvastatin; metoprolol; celecoxib; Vitamin C; famotidine; Vitamin B12; magnesium; and Immuneti. She was concerned about the possible side effects and wanted to ask Pfizer if these possible side effects could be from the Pfizer COVID-19 Vaccine or his other medications. Caller's husband was administered the Pfizer COVID-19 Vaccine on 15Jan2021. Caller also got her Pfizer COVID-19 Vaccine on 15Jan2021. Neither patient or caller had any problems with the product initially. Then her husband had onset of possible side effects last night. Starting 17Jan2021 after patient took his usual night medications, which caller was unable to clearly define which of the other suspect products that included, patient began to feel real bad. He said he smelled some kind of chemical and caller said she did not smell anything. Patient got to feeling worse and worse and they stayed up fairly late to see if he got to feeling better. When he got up this morning: 18Jan2021, he was feeling some better. He came in the room and when he put his medications in his mouth, before he even got them swallowed, he began to feel bad again-caller was unable to clearly define which of the other suspect products that included. Patient had been on simvastatin a long time and one time they took him off of this and started it back; he had been back on this for about 1 year. Metoprolol was discarded after 10th and 9th of 2021, documented as provided by reporter. Patient started it maybe 2-3 years ago. Vitamin C was Over the counter product, start date was probably 6-8 months ago. Vitamin B12 was probably started about 6-8 months ago.

He was affected by medications more than most people. No further details provided about his medications. He reacted to medications in general and that because of that he usually took lower dosages. The patient's concomitant medications were not reported. After 2 weeks from the vaccine. Have weakness and stomach pains and diarrhea.

He said he didn't have any fever, his oxygen level hadn't changed, he had a testing kit with thermometers, so he knew he never had a fever, but he got chills. He got all the symptoms, the stomach problems, diarrhea, back problems, overall weakness and low energy. He was fine two weeks before this, this started almost two weeks to the day and minute from when he went and got the shot. When he got the shot he had nothing, he waited 15-20 minutes with no problems, his arm was hurting for a couple days, but there was nothing else. Two weeks later he got basically an artificial case and the corona virus test said no, clarified to being negative, but he said it didn't go away, it had been from Thursday to Monday, so 5 days. The big problem was he was supposed to get his second shot Friday, and he had an appointment Wednesday, he would like to ask them too, but he would like to know was it dangerous for him to get the second shot. He didn't think he can get any sicker. He did not do a report online, he tried to get onto the website but nothing told him how to do it or whatever, so he stayed on the line waiting to talk to someone. Height: he was five feet and nine and three quarters inches tall, he had shrunk with age, everyone got smaller. His arm was not sore for very much, he didn't remember how long, he got sick two weeks later, and now he was really not well, though he was better than he was on Thursday or Friday, though he was not 100% yet. He would like to know if he should get the second shot, because he was too old to die from a corona virus shot. Investigations: He didn't know which COVID test they used, they did an instant test with results in an hour. The patient inquiry if he should get the second shot since he had had this artificial sickness for 5-7 days, two weeks after getting the vaccine. He had "sore arm for a couple of days" after the 1st injection, but "nothing more". However, in the last 4-5 days, he's been feeling "miserable". He didn't have fever. But he's been experiencing aching, diarrhea, upset stomach, lost weights and nasal drip. He tested negative to the COVID virus. He has a doctor's appointment scheduled this Wednesday.

The weeks following vaccination, the patient felt lethargic, dizzy, unstable on his feet. Mental cognitive ability was unchanged, and he seemed to still be sharp. Up until the day of death, the patient was still active, able to drive, speak, make jokes, eat, and do everything normally. The morning of death, he had a bad fall, but couldn't recall what happened. It's assumed that a low blood pressure event, syncope, partial aneurysm, something of that nature causing temporary loss of consciousness occurred. We attended a funeral that afternoon, ate lunch, and dropped him off at his home. Sometime during that evening, he fell and died. The cause is unknown and still "undetermined" on the death certificate. (Heart attack or brain aneurysm is what I'm guessing)

slightly dizzy; pain in arm slightly; His head was still just a little foggy; Unrestful night; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable consumer (patient). A 89-years-old male patient received bnt162b2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, Solution for injection, Lot Number: EN5318), dose 1 intramuscular, administered in arm right (Injected into right shoulder in the muscle) on 10Feb2021 09:50 to 10Feb2021 09:50 (at the age of 89-years-old) as single dose for prevention (COVID-19 immunisation). Medical history included ongoing AFib (Diagnosed 7-10 years ago), sulfa allergy, ongoing to keep bowels soft and pliable, down from 210 lbs (he found out his wife had breast cancer, he lost the weight, prior receiving vaccine), bad ankles (uses a cane and walker and noticed he was having). Concomitant medications included warfarin at 5 mg daily (Started taking 7-10 years) for AFib; diltiazem hydrochloride at 180 mg daily (Started taking 2 years ago) for AFib and omeprazole at 20 mg daily (Taking for 7-10 years) to keep bowels soft and pliable and unspecified medication. They reported that he called Pfizer yesterday about the same question; however, today he would like to know if he can get a letter stating that it was permissible to get the vaccine 4 days short of the 21 days. Caller reports that he received first dose yesterday, and felt slightly dizzy afterwards and today he had pain in arm slightly Feb2021. Caller reports he had a sulfa allergy. Caller was scheduled for second dose on 27Feb2021. He received the first shot this morning. It went along nicely. He had two questions. He went back in to reschedule next appointment and the only thing they had available at (College name) was this month on 26Feb2021 or 27Feb2021, so he picked out the 25Feb2021, which he later stated was 26Feb2021. He had the shot this morning and it was only 15 days and he understands it was not supposed to be given until 21 days and wanted to know if that was true. His second question was after he had injection and he told them he was only allergic to Sulfa, they told him not to worry about it that there were so little problems with that. Before he got it, he had a sleepless night. He said he was old and he was worried about all kinds of things. He started talking to the guy the drove him over. He noticed he was a little dizzy and he probably could drive but should not. They dropped him off at his place and he was only one block away. When he got home, he drank some water and ate lunch and still feels a little bit out of it. He had a feeling if he got a good nights sleep, he would be fine. But, he wondered if it was related to the Sulfa allergy. He was down from 210 lbs. It just happened when he found out his wife had breast cancer that he lost the weight, which was prior to receiving the vaccine. She just passed away 6 weeks ago and had bone and breast cancer. He was bending and his back was starting to arch. He used to be 5' 11.5". That was before the vaccine. This has been happening for years. He has bad ankles and uses a cane and walker and noticed he was having more trouble right after he got the vaccine. Now, he was not having any more problems than usual. His head was still just a little foggy on 2021. When getting up, he stated he did not fall. He had a very unrestful night on 2021 and it could be related to that. He heard second dose should be 21 days and not 15 days. He provided on his vaccine card. They were having an influx of cases in his area and his wife and he had planned to get the vaccine as soon as they offered it. He said the reason he takes Omeprazole was his insides, all through his hose system, every once in a while he had some problems, and it started to bleed, so this was something to keep it soft and pliable. He was allergic to Sulfa. He does not have the name of medication, manufacturer, lot or expiration. The outcome of event slightly dizzy was recovering and other events was unknown.
