He has been having upper respiratory symptoms including cough, sneezing, and runny nose. His COVID-19 test was positive. He was started on the COVID-19 treatment protocol which included IV remdesivir and IV dexamethasone. He underwent a CT scan of the chest which showed small patchy areas of groundglass infiltrates in the peripheral portions of the left and right upper lobes and also the posterior aspects of the right lung base. These findings are probably due to pneumonia. Hospital course consisted of gentle hydration with IV normal saline. He was also started on antibiotic therapy oral azithromycin and IV Rocephin. He had completed the course of antibiotics while on the unit, therefore, at the time of discharge no antibiotics were prescribed. He initially was hypoxic and started on nasal cannula oxygen to maintain pulse oximetry greater than 92%.

His point-of-care glucose have been in the 80-500 range. He has had numerous episodes of hypoglycemia and insulin has been adjusted.

All other lab studies have been within normal limits. The systolic blood pressure has been in the 120-150 range. The most recent systolic blood pressure was 151/66 mmHg with a heart rate of 66 bpm. He denies any lightheadedness or dizziness. He was advised to continue all of his current medications. While on the unit he was in isolation secondary to COVID-19. At the time of discharge he should maintain social distancing/isolation, mask wearing and good handwashing. He will will need to follow-up with the primary care provider. He was also advised if the oxygen level dips below 89% he will need to return to the emergency department. At this time he is resting comfortably, offers no complaints and is stable for discharge.

Following Dose 1, Right Arm became sore at injection site for 4 days, at which time Right armpit became very tender touch and was swollen about size of silver dollar, approx. 1/2 inch thick. Soreness at injection site subsided over the next 17 days, but tenderness in armpit only diminished slightly. Following Dose 2, Right Arm was once again sore at injection site for about 4 days, but tenderness to the right armpit became more pronounced, with swelling increasing to the size of a hockey puck. Size of swelling was easily visible to the eye. Armpit became more tender to the touch, and has diminished only slightly in size,, as of this reporting. Mass remains soft to the feel, but easily defined in size and location. I have taken OTC pain killers to help with the discomfort. Will continue to monitor its progress, unless notified otherwise. Do not anticipate seeing my physician at this point. Have consulted the Web, and have noted that this is a lesser side effect of this vaccine, if swelling remains localized to the injection site. Thought I should report this side effect only because of the size of the swelling that occured.

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 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.

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.

Overnight I developed very significant headaches (hardly ever had a headache before); in a few days I developed edema of my ankles and feet; checked blood pressure after a few days and it was very elevated; Took Tylenol for headaches (not very effective); Doctor had me move from 20mg Olmesartan to 40mg Olmesartan with 25mg hydrochlorothiazide which controlled my blood pressure and eliminated the lower extremity edema. When my blood pressure became dangerously low, I was moved back to just 20mg Olmesartan. Atrial fibrillation had been controlled prior to the vaccination with Multaq. For two days after the vaccination I had A-fib, then it went away. I have been monitoring my blood pressure and EKG since and the A-fib is becoming increasingly common, so that now I seldom had sinus rhythm.

Starting about Saturday 30 January (three days after the first Pfizer shot) and slowly increasing for the next four days, the Efudex-treated ulcer became deeper, the peripheral 12-cm-diameter skin became redder, and the left foot and ankle became increasingly swollen. My RN-wife and I (a former medical-research physicist) began research andChronic health conditions: nasal polyps, precancerous bleeding actinic keratoses, Cramp-Fasciculation Syndrome (leg & foot cramps), early macular degeneration bilateral, hearing loss bilateral. Chronic health conditions: nasal polyps, precancerous bleeding actinic keratoses, Cramp-Fasciculation Syndrome (leg & foot cramps), early macular degeneration bilateral, hearing loss bilateral.DVERSE EFFECTS, TREATMENT, AND OUTCOME: discovered that Efudex should not be given concurrently with any of a long list of immunizations. This is an Efudex problem that should gain another immunization onto that list. Being within a week of finishing the Efudex regimen, we monitored the Efudex-treatment area and the peripheral area carefully. On Thursday 4 Feb (eight days after the first Pfizer shot), the ulcer began unusual drainage, the 12-cm-diameter peripheral area became inflamed, and swelling of the left ankle and foot increased to almost skin-tight - I can upload photos if you need. Time for immediate action. My excellent Dermatologist stopped Efudex and started me on Bactrim by mouth for 10 days, and Gentamicin topical antibiotic on the ulcerated central area and Triamcinolone topical corticosteroid on the peripheral and swollen areas for three weeks. Good choices. Improvement was immediate and continued improving for the next three weeks. By the time of the second Pfizer shot on 24 February, the central area was healing well, in the late-reepithelialization stage (regrowth of epithelial tissue that now formed a completely-covering scar tissue with no oozing), and with all inflammation and swelling completely gone. After the second Pfizer shot (taken 20 days after stopping Efudex), there were zero adverse effects of any kind. NOTE: There were absolutely zero other adverse effects of any kind throughout the entire series: no chills, fever, headache, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, change in pulse or blood pressure (120/70 range), loss of taste or smell, sore throat, cough, lung congestion, fatigue, feeling of being unwell, shortness of breath, injection-site swelling or redness, hives, swelling of face, decreased kidney function, or other adverse cardiovascular, neurological or pulmonary effects. There was no additional joint pain above my normal osteoarthritis. After both shots, I felt a slight normal-range injection-site soreness for the next few hours, but no site swelling, rash, redness, or other problem. We recommend that this immunization be added to the Efudex ‘proscribed or warned' list.

Progressive lower extremity weakness with markedly diminished reflex: Per the history it appears that patient has had a progressive course of this problem over the last 1 week. His symptomatology is mostly consistent with gait ataxia with some lower extremity weakness. He mentions that his weakness of the lower extremities became more and more pronounced towards the end of the week when he would start trembling in his legs whenever standing for some time. Although he had some numbness and tingling few days ago but that does not seem to be the predominant symptoms. There was no preceding symptoms of any viremia prior to this. Although he has Covid in January, however he did not have cough expectorations upper respiratory infection or any diarrhea in the last 1 month. He has not been exposed to any new pets or any new medications. His clinical exam suggest a lower extremity weakness more proximal than distal although there appears to be some sensory sparing. He has diminished reflexes all over including absent reflexes in his lower extremities and many of the upper extremities. His imaging study did not show any specific etiology for the cause of his problem. He does not have any spinal etiology and his exam does not show any upper motor type of involvement. His spinal fluid shows a high protein with no cells consistent with cytoalbuminogenic dissociation. So he definitely fits with the diagnosis of acute immune mediated demyelinating polyneuropathy or Guillain-Barré syndrome. On IVIG therapy. Overall appears to be some improved however not still able to walk.

A little over a week ago I was admitted to a local hospital having been diagnosed with Guillain?Barré syndrome, a debilitating condition where the body?s auto immune system attacks the nervous system resulting in peripheral numbness in one?s hands, feet and legs. This condition was diagnosed by a neurologist. Following his diagnosis, I spent 8 days in the Hospital and was treated for 5 days with a daily dose of 400ml of immune globulin (IVIG) to rebuild the damage to my nervous system. On April 10, I began to feel the onset of Guillain Barré syndrome as the bottoms of my feet suddenly began to tingle and feel numb. The next day I tripped while returning our waste management garbage cans to our garage. Fell face forward onto the driveway and was bruised pretty bad. The next day my BP zoomed to 224/160. 911 was called and I was taken to our local hospital fearing and thinking that I was having a heart attack. I spent 4 days in the hospital being checked for a possible heart attack and all the while my Guillain Barré syndrome was progressing undiagnosed. I was discharged and instructed to see a neurologist for the tingling and numbness in my hands, legs and feet. Within 15 minutes of the neurologist consult, a few days following my discharge, I was told I had Guillain Barré syndrome and get to a hospital. I left his office and went straight to the emergency room and I spent the next 8 days there and was discharged Tuesday, 4 May 2021. Several hospital neurologists treating me believed the vaccination triggered the syndrome as do I. It's not being widely reported even though there have been several Facebook postings of people saying the same thing as me.

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.

A 79-years-old male patient received bnt162b2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, Solution for injection, Batch/Lot Number: EL3248), dose 1 via an unspecified route of administration, administered in Arm Left on 27Jan2021 11:00 (at 79-years age) as single dose for covid-19 immunisation. Medical history included diabetes and hypertension (he was diabetic and was on blood pressure medication, but both his hypertension was under control, and his diabetes, sure his A1C is higher than it should be but was under control with oral medication), root canal infection (though this was contributed to the root canal which he had on 29Jan2021, the root canal was on the lower left of the mouth, tooth number 20).

Then on the 11Feb2021, the patient woke up at 4:30AM, experienced the swelling and it felt numb, the numb feeling starting on left side of cheek and wound up settling in upper lip, it gave him a distorted appearance, it was severe. The swelling in the mouth, that wound up settling in upper lip which was the 2nd occurrence in a 3-day period. The first occurrence was swelling, not as severe, in the lower inside of the mouth in the lower right inside of the gum, the swelling appearance from the outside, though this was contributed to the root canal (had on 29Jan2021). The swelling in the mouth from 08Feb2021 subsided for him in 3-4 hours. He called endodontist, and told her about the second swelling, she said to come in and look at it, that was on 11Feb2021, she took X-rays and result was normal, she said it was not connected to the root canal and told him to contact his Primary and go from there, he agreed with her because he did not feel any type of sensitivity. On 11Feb2021, patient then called the Primary Care doctor, told how he developed the swelling, and the primary care said that he would rather see an ENT specialist and he got an appointment with the ENT that same day 11Feb2021 at 15:00 in the afternoon. The patient went to see him, the ENT checked his mouth out, checked his nose and throat, he did not know what it was stemming from, and said he will put him on an antibiotic.

Patient felt like he was sort of on edge for another occurrence possibly happening. Being on the antibiotic, maybe this was some type of infection. The ENT told honestly that he didn't know why this happened, but if it happened again, he might have a CT scan for the suspect salivary gland, maybe it was clogged or there was an infection in the gland. He asked if he should take the pills or reschedule the vaccine dose and if it was ok to receive the second shot while on this antibiotic (his prescribing doctor couldn't give an answer). On 18Feb2021, the patient was due to have booster. Patient would have 2 pills left on the 18Feb2021, after that he was finished. Therapeutic measures of antibiotic were taken as a result of swelling that occurred in his mouth (mouth swelling).

right wrist was "quite sore and painful"/left wrist then "started swelling and being painful"; carpal tunnel; feeling anxious; feels "warm" outside of his left wrist/ felt like a fire underneath his kneecap/ was hotter than a firecracker; arm was so sore he couldn't pick it up straight in the air; trouble walking; right shoulder was swollen; left knee is swollen real bad; right shoulder was pretty sore and is getting worst all the time; left knee was "sore"; right wrist twice as thick as [his] left one/left wrist then "started swelling and being painful"; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable consumer, the patient. 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. The lot number for the vaccine, BNT162b2 , was not provided and will be requested during follow up.; Sender's Comments: Linked Report(s) : US-PFIZER INC-2021551521 same patient/reporter/drug with different AE/time gap.

The patient had received the first dose of the COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) vaccine on January 31, 2021 and the second dose on February 21. He presented to his primary care provider?s office on February 22, 2021 with complaints of 10 days of progressive weakness and muscle soreness. The weakness had reportedly involved the bilateral thighs and arms and was associated with muscle aches. Blood pressure measured 90/40 mmHg and examination was notable for symmetrical proximal weakness in the upper and lower extremities. The peripheral blood leukocyte count measured 3.5 x10e3/µL, hemoglobin 8.3 grams per deciliter and platelets 147 x10e3/µL. A peripheral blood smear was consistent with neutropenia and normocytic anemia with 9% circulating blasts. Total CK measured 1424 U/L. The patient was referred to hematology/oncology and rheumatology and had appointment scheduled for both on February 26. With the above background, he presented to emergency room on February 24 with altered mental status and continued weakness. He was taken to the hospital by emergency medical services. A temperature of 103 degrees Fahrenheit was recorded when emergency medical personnel had arrived. The peripheral blood leukocyte count was 1.4 x10e3/µL for an ANC of 0.8 x10e3/µL. Hemoglobin was 8.1 g/dL and platelets 111 x10e3/µL. A few schistocytes and teardrop cells were noted. The serum creatinine was 1.47 mg/dL. AST was 174, ALT 91 and alkaline phosphatase 93 U/L.

The lactic acid level of the venous blood was 2.0 mmol/L. LDH measured 838 U/L. A ferritin level was 3464 nanograms/mL. A test for COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) was negative. A chest radiograph showed minimal streaky right basilar atelectasis, trace left effusion and a mildly enlarged cardiac silhouette. A head CT showed no acute abnormality. An abdominopelvic CT without contrast was limited by motion artifact. No acute intra-abdominal or pelvic finding was noted. Nonspecific soft tissue stranding was seen in the right inguinal region. There was no soft tissue gas or drainable fluid collection. Cultures of specimens of the blood were obtained. The patient was started on empiric cefepime, vancomycin and doxycycline and admitted for further care. A peripheral blood smear for intracellular parasites was negative. The admission blood cultures came back positive for E. coli. With the blood culture results, the vancomycin and doxycycline were discontinued. The E. coli isolate has since been determined to be pansusceptible. A MRSA PCR of the nares was negative. He was found on exam to have swelling, cellulitis and exquisite pain of the right groin area on February 25. Surgical consultation was pursued. They did not feel that he had necrotizing fasciitis. The CT scan of the abdomen and pelvis was repeated with contrast, revealing increased extensive subcutaneous edema of the right groin region with extension into the thigh musculature and mild extension into the right inferior pelvis. There was no associated soft tissue gas or drainable abscess. A bone marrow biopsy was performed February 25. Results showed acute undifferentiated leukemia with 60-70% infiltration of the bone marrow with blasts. The blasts were negative for lineage markers. He was faintly CD33 positive. He is felt to likely have acute myeloid leukemia. Cytogenetics are pending.

Patient is a 81 y.o. gentleman with a history of smoldering multiple myeloma, urinary retention for which he self catheterizes twice daily, as well as recently diagnosed atrial fibrillation that presents complaining of increasing weakness and falls. Patient fell 2/18 pm trying to get out of bed and he took about 20 minutes to get himself to a position where he could pull himself back up. Again 2/19 he was trying to get up and his legs were too weak to carry him and he fell to the ground. He needed assistance to get up and family asked him to come to emergency room for evaluation. He has been feeling poorly for about a month, with poor appetite and has lost about 15 pounds. He is not nauseated or short of breath and has no cough. He was apparently treated for UTI about 4 to 6 weeks ago after a visit to urgent care. He has since been to a different urgent care and was diagnosed with atrial fibrillation which was new in onset and was referred to a cardiologist who is planning to do a stress test in a few weeks. I believe he is on Eliquis now. In ER he was found to have significant pyuria and bacteriuria and was given a dose of Rocephin. Renal function shows worsening from levels in December although it is pretty stable over the past month from looking through other labs.

pain in chest; pain in neck and back; pain in neck and back; sneezes; Feels when muscles are contracting; felt a little nagging; Was like a very dull irritation in the right side of the neck. Was probably the lymph node; Was like a very dull irritation in the right side of the neck. 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.

ER work-up concerning for severe sepsis with acute hypoxic respiratory failure for which he was admitted to the PCU under the hospitalist service. Hospital Course He was treated with dexamethasone and remdesivir but remained hypoxic requiring alternating trials of high flow nasal cannula and BiPAP for which pulmonology was consulted on 5/12. Unfortunately, he did not tolerate prone positioning. Despite his advanced age and several risk factors, he slowly but surely progressed from a pulmonary standpoint. He was weaned off high flow oxygen 2 days ago and deemed stable for downgrade to MedSurg with telemetry at that time. Since then he has continued to recover well, now requiring 6 L of oxygen with activity and 4 L at all other times. He is anxious to be discharged home and appears medically stable to do so with home health care services, remote patient monitoring and outpatient pulmonology follow-up with PAL as prior to hospitalization. Prior to discharge, all questions were answered and patient and his son expressed understanding, appreciation and agreement with the discharge plan at this time. Treatments: IV hydration, analgesia: acetaminophen, cardiac meds: metoprolol, furosemide and aldactone, anticoagulation: eliquis, steroids: dexamethasone, respiratory therapy: O2 and remdesivir

Cardiac arrest Narrative: An 82 year old, male, resident of a facility, received his first dose of the Pfizer COVID vaccine on 12/30/20 (time of dose not known). On 12/31/20, patient was reported to be febrile with increased lethargy and UTI was suspected so patient received a dose of ceftriaxone and levofloxacin. Within 30 minutes he became wheezy and short of breath, developed hives and tongue swelling. He required intubation and admission for treatment of acute respiratory failure, acute kidney injury and significant lactic acidosis. Treatment included epinephrine, H1 and H2 blockers, and steroids. He recovered and was extubated on 1/3/21 and discharged back to the facility on 1/6/21. Attending physician noted that antibiotics were most likely contributor to event, but recommended that patient not receive the 2nd COVID vaccine dose. Patient was referred to an allergist to assess this event, with an outpatient visit on 1/14/21. Patient expressed interest in receiving the 2nd dose. Allergist determined that the antibiotics were the cause of anaphylaxis, and recommended skin testing to take place 6 weeks after his reaction. Allergist determined the reaction was not due to the COVID vaccine and advised patient that he could receive the 2nd dose. Patient received the 2nd dose of the Pfizer COVID vaccine on 1/9/21 (time not known). Notes from the facility indicate patient was lethargic and running a fever the morning of 1/20/21. At 1500 on 1/20/21 patient was noted to be lying supine in bed, visiting with aides. At 1508 nurse entered room and noted patient to be lying on floor supine and nurse was unable to get patient to respond to shaking or calling his name. Breathing was noted to be labored, and nurse was unable to detect a pulse. At 1509, 911 was called and CPR initiated. Spontaneous pulse and breathes resumed just before ambulance arrived at 1522. On arrival at the ED patient was responsive and breathing spontaneously, however, hemodynamically unstable. Patient went into cardiac arrest and code blue called at 1535. Received treatment with epinephrine, methylprednisolone, diphenhydramine, amiodarone, atropine. Patient was intubated. EKG obtained and showed acute MI. At 1622 he again went into cardiac arrest and time of death was called.

Patient previously received first dose of BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 mRNA VACCINE, Lot number: EL9262), via an unspecified route of administration, administered in left arm on 23Jan2021 (at the age of 84-years-old) as a single dose for covid-19 immunization.

The patient did not have any other recent vaccinations or started any new medications. The patient reported practically had no symptoms with either shot. After his first dose he had one day where his blood pressure went very low but by the time he talked to his cardiologist it had gone back to normal and was taking pills, it was under control. Yesterday afternoon he experienced pain in his left wrist, which was the same arm that he received his injection, and describes the pain as not too bad. He states that when he uses his wrist in certain positions, the pain "shoots up." This morning on the lower part of his left arm ("not the top where I got the injection") he has "slight pain." He says this morning his upper arm on the underside where he got it on the left side is swollen. He says he would like to know can it be from vaccine, though maybe he could have strained his wrist, it happened yesterday evening, he had wrist pain and swollen under side of his arm where he got the vaccine injected. He says yesterday late afternoon was the first time, it could be something else, it was the same arm this morning he has a little pain to his upper arm that was not on injection side but below, under it. The patient did not received any treatment, it was not serious pain, it was low level pain, when he uses his wrist and turns it, it comes in more prominent. He says it was not pain that bothers him, if it was not related to the vaccine then he most likely strained his arm. No follow-up attempts are possible. No further information is expected.

85 year old male who presents with 2 episodes loose black stools, weakness, decreased appetite, increased lethargy and subjective fever today, 02/22. Again admitted and had further rheumatological and infectious work up with negative results He was initially admitted to Hospital on 02/12 with fatigue, atypical chest pain, melena. He had received 2nd dose of Pfizer vaccine on 02/10. He was hospitalized from 02/12-02/15 and thought to have viral pericarditis. Diagnosis at discharge: SIRS DUE TO NONINFECTIOUS PROCESS W ACUTE ORGAN DYSFUNCTION. He was started on celebrex in addition to the the colchicine as an anti-inflammatory. After initiation of the anti inflammatory medications, patient's fever resolved, he started feeling better and his inflammatory markers decreased.

A 85-years-old male patient received second dose of BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, formulation: Solution for injection, lot number was not reported), via an unspecified route of administration on an unspecified date as 2nd dose, single (at the age of 85-years-old) for COVID-19 immunization; tafamidis (VYNDAMAX, 61mg once daily by mouth), via an unspecified route of administration from an unspecified date for amyloidosis. Medical history included amyloidosis, sleep apnea which was diagnosed before he was taking either Vyndamax or Vyndaqel. There were no concomitant medications. Previously patient received first dose of BNT162B2 as 1st dose, single (at the age of 85-years-old) for COVID-19 immunization. Patient was on Vyndaqel 4 times a day and had some diarrhea. He was switched to Vyndamax about 3 months ago and in the last month, he started to have problems with swallowing. He was hospitalized and had to be intubated because he was having difficulty breath and his CO2 was high and the doctors thought it was too much stress for the heart, so they intubated him. While in the hospital, a feeding tube was put in because he could not pass the swallow test and they gave him one Vyndamax through the feeding tube but no more. He has been in the hospital twice and since then, has had difficulty swallowing food and pills. She has read on social media that other people on Vyndamax have had difficulty swallowing. The swallowing issues also started after having received his second dose of Pfizer's covid vaccine. Maybe about a month and a half ago, he started having problems swallowing and realizing it was possibly a side effect from it. He was having problem with the pills. He is currently in the hospital. He ended up where they had to intubate him and now extubate him. He is not able to eat or drink. Because of him being intubated, they were not able to continue giving him the medication. He has not taken it for 7-8 days. If the swelling is partly from being intubated, she is guessing that was part of the problem before, once they have been off the medication for a while, if that occurred with the swelling, would that go down after a while. She stated patient's weight has fluctuated. This occurred during the whole time, off and on. He was on Vyndaqel before this and does not know how long. It has been over a month that he has been having issues swallowing. He actually came home from the first hospitalization on 05Jun2021 and was only home for a day and a half before they had to take him back. He was again experiencing effects of CO2 where he was sleeping and they could not wake him up. On an unspecified date in May2021, the patient experienced having difficulty breath, too much stress for the heart, fluid retention/ fluid retention and high level of co2 in blood system, having problems swallowing was reported as worsened, have problems with swallowing, on 07Jun2021, the patient experienced co2 was high/ elevated co2 levels and unable to arouse, on an unspecified date in 2021, the patient experienced he is not able to eat or drink, swelling, she stated patient's weight has fluctuated. The patient was hospitalized for all events. Reporter seriousness for Having problems swallowing was reported as worsened, reporter seriousness for Fluid retention and high level of CO2 in blood system was hospitalization from 22May2021 to 05Jun2021, reporter seriousness for Elevated CO2 levels and unable to arouse was Hospitalization from 07Jun2021 to Ongoing.

Vaccine was administered on 1/12/21 at Memory Care. On 1/15/21 at 12:30 he developed slurred speech at his facility and slumped to his left side. Out of concern for stroke he was sent by ambulance to Hospital. There he was found to have no evidence of stroke on MRI or CT angiogram. He was admitted to the hospital due to fever and elevated inflammatory markers (ferritin, CRP) and transaminases. He was found to have a positive SARS-CoV-2 PCR and IgG. His symptoms resolved the following morning and may have represented a TIA. He had many markers consistent with COVID-19 and his CT pulmonary angiogram did show ground glass opacities but no pulmonary embolism. It was difficult to assess if this was a reinfection with COVID-19, persistent PCR positivity from November, or an adverse event to the vaccine.

right hand swelling, right knee swelling, right ankle swelling, facial swelling of left cheek Narrative: Following 1st COVID-19 vaccine dose on 12/17/20, patient seen at Emergency Department on 12/21/20- 12/22/20 for eval of new left cheek swelling and right hand/ankle swelling. Hand x-ray did not show signs of fracture, head CT did not show any signs of new strokes, and labs showed mild BNP elevation. Per ED note, "Based on the patient history, physical, and initial vital signs - the patient's initial presentation is concerning for heart failure/volume overload->pulmonary edema and bilateral pedal edema." He received ipratropium neb x1 and returned to facility. Neurology consulted (12/22/20), "It is difficult to determine whether the patient has a new facial palsy or whether this is recrudescence of his previous stroke deficits. Given the swelling of his left face it is quite possible that there is inflammation causing some partial left facial nerve dysfunction that would not include the forehead. The pattern of weakness is, however, also consistent with what would be expected from his documented right MCA stroke. At this point it is appropriate to consider this a possible complication of his vaccination (Bell's palsy has been reported in some after Covid19 vaccination). However, I would not recommend any specific treatment for the facial weakness as the etiology is still somewhat unclear." Patient admitted to hospital 1/2/21-1/8/21 for mild hypothermia with possible AMS and found to have adenovirus. Head CT negative for CVA. Sepsis/toxic/metabolic w/u was unrevealing. Given IVF for diarrhea; C diff negative. Discharged to facility. Patient received 2nd COVID-19 pfizer vaccine on 1/13/21 in Right Deltoid w/o complications (lot#: EK9231, exp. 04/30/2021)

covid shot estimated at Feb 1st between 1-2 PM, first shot, and then had a trip and fall that day. 3-5 days later noted cellulitis on his leg with redness, swelling, pain, edema and went to urgent care on the 10th, given some antibiotics which he is currently taking and the site is looking much better. Patient notes also painless nodules going down his bicep, but not where lymph nodes are (more in the middle of the arm from the site, not near elbow or armpit). Pt also noted some bruising initially at the injection site which is better. Should he still get his second shot even with the abx and cellulitis? Adv cellulitis on the leg more related to the fall than the shot. The nodules could be from the shot but as they aren't where I would typically expect to see lymphadenopathy would rec FU with PCP if the nodules persist or worsen. None of this is a contraindication to getting the second dose of the vaccine, but inform the vaccine providers that you are on elliquis so they can be aware to watch for additional bruising/bleeding, which is common after the shot. Discussed also Q518.

Cellulitis; face was weeping serous fluid; sores; Swelling; face was so swollen; swollen cheeks; Pain in face; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable nurse. An 88-year-old male patient received the first dose of BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE; Lot Number: EN6202), intramuscular in left arm, on 25Feb2021, at a single dose, for COVID-19 immunization. The patient's medical history included Alzheimer's and other conditions, but family did not disclose. The patient was taking unspecified concomitant medications. The patient previously took piroxicam (FELDENE) and experienced allergies. The vaccine was administered in a public health clinic or Veterans administration facility. On 25Feb2021, the patient noticed pain in face in the evening of day he was vaccinated and then the patient developed swelling by the next morning (26Feb2021). On 27Feb2021, the patient's face was so swollen that his face was weeping serous fluid and family took him to the ER. The swollen cheeks bilaterally progressed to cellulitis (27Feb2021) requiring oral steroids, famotidine (PEPCID), and antibiotics including cefalexin (CEPHALEXIN). The patient remains on steroids and creams to treat swelling and sores. The adverse events resulted in doctor or other healthcare professional office or clinic visit and emergency room or department or urgent care. The patient was recovering from the events.; Sender's Comments: Based on available information, a possible contributory role of BNT162B2 vaccine can not be excluded for the reported event of cellulitis due to temporal relationship. Case will be re-assessed upon the additional information provided.

On Sunday afternoon, March 14, I received the first dose of the Pfizer vaccination. On the morning of March 16 I had a sudden hit of fatigued and my left leg started going numb while doing some menial work in the yard, The numbness cleared when I went inside and laid down but some form of the fatigue persisted for several days. Then, on March 28, two weeks after the vaccine, I woke up to a leg severely swollen from toe to hip. I waited two days to see if it went down but it only got worse, swelling to double the size by volume. I went to the doctor and they sent me to the hospital for ultrasound, suspecting a blood clot. No blood clot was evident but there were multi swollen limp nodes in the upper leg area. The problem worsened and two days later I was sent in for a CTscan which now showed multi blood clots near the swollen limp nodes. I was barely able to walk as major pain persisted with no signs of decline. I am now on blood thinner. It has been 2 months since the vacination and my leg is still swollen the same amount (2X by volume).
