Sunday Morning (2:00 AM) 01/24/2021 woke up with severe chills (body hot), breathing hard. Lasted about 45 minutes. took Advil and used the CPAC to calm my breathing down. Then slept until 9:00 am. But after I woke, I felt tired the rest of the day. I am doing fine now. I am not sure if this was a side effect of the covid vaccine or not. But I thought I let you know.

The next day (27Jan2021) when he woke up, he rubbed the area and it was sore. Three days ago (30Jan2021), he started running out of breath, he would walk to the mailbox and have to stop since he was out of breath. He never had that happen before. He was not sure what it was or if something else going on. He would have no breath whatsoever if he gets up to walk. When he was sitting still he was ok. If he gets up to walk to the bathroom, he was out of breath by the time he gets to the bathroom. States he was not short of breath as long as he was not doing anything. States it was crazy though when he starts walking and he gets out of breath. This has never happened to him before. He does not know if it was the vaccine or something else. He saw the shortness of breath was one of the side effects. He wants to find out what he should do and if he should go to the hospital. Advised to contact hcp. He asks if he was supposed to go back for the second shot. He has an appointment with his doctor in the next two weeks for all the medications he takes. The outcome of the events was unknown.

chest pain Narrative: 6yo man received first dose Pfizer Covid vaccine on 3/1/21. Patient subsequently presented to the ED on 3/13/21 with a one day history of atypical chest pain and shortness of breath with walking and lying down. It is very unlikely that the vaccine is related to the patient's episode of chest pain. From a vaccination standpoint, it is safe for the patient to receive his second COVID vaccine as scheduled.

He went to the hospital with his wife on 3/1/2021. He stated "I think I'm going to die".

had severe acid reflux; trouble breathing for about 15 minutes; was wheezing and sounded like an asthma attack.; Felt like something was stuck in his throat; He feels tired now; vomited lying down; Right now his throat is burning; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable consumer (patient). A 77-year-old male patient received BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, solution for injection, lot number/expiration date unknown), via an unspecified route of administration on 01Feb2021 at a single dose for COVID-19 immunisation. The patient's medical history and concomitant medications were not reported. On an unspecified date in Feb2021, the patient woke up and had severe acid reflux, trouble breathing for about 15 minutes, couldn't catch his breath, was wheezing and sounded like an asthma attack. He felt like something was stuck in his throat. It cleared in 10 seconds and he could breathe and swallow fine. He took a Benadryl as treatment and drank water. He also felt tired. The patient further reported that he had the covid vaccine shot. He did not know if he was having a reaction, but he was taking a nap, and he guessed he regurgitated. He had a difficult time catching his breath, it was like it was stuck in the throat. He vomited lying down. He felt the stomach acid come up into mouth after he was able to breath better. But before he was not breathing at all. This never happened before. He was lying flat, he guessed he threw up. He had a large lunch, maybe too large. It was like he was getting something caught in in throat. The patient also reported that his throat was burning and mentioned that he slept on a triangular pillow. The outcome of the events was unknown. No follow-up attempts are possible. No further information is expected. Information about lot/batch number cannot be obtained.

A 77-year-old male patient received the first dose of BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE; lot number: EN6202 and expiry date: unknown), via an unspecified route of administration on 26Feb2021 16:00 at a single dose for covid-19 immunization. Medical history included asthma and stage 4 kidney disease. The patient's concomitant medications were not reported. On 27Feb2021 (Saturday), patient was not feeling well and on 28Feb2021, he had diarrhea, chills, shaking all over, severe headache and started throwing up. Reporter stated patient had all the symptoms of the reactions and then "you go again to the serious, more dangerous symptoms, he has all of them". Throwing up, fever, chills, diarrhea and then he get real hot and then he started sweating and it was another day on 01Mar2021. On Monday (01Mar2021), reporter called to take patient to the hospital with high fever. The ambulance put him on IV and oxygen right away. They gave him fluids and were monitoring everything because he was dehydrated and then he stayed in the hospital for some time. He had x-rays, they monitored his blood pressure and heart rate, and the doctor was concerned about his heart rate and blood pressure. Doctor decided to check his urine and he did and he had a UTI on 01Mar2021, and so he gave him antibiotics for that (treatment unspecified). Patient seemed to be better after having the fluids and everything so they let him come home. During the night on 01Mar2021, he had another attack and it was the same thing that he had before. The shaking and the chills the fever and throwing up and the doctor said that it was a reaction from having the vaccination and reporter just wanted to report that he did and reported actually thought he was going to die. Reporter tried to call again the ambulance since she thought that he was not going to make it. The doctor put on the report and he did not put on there that he was in there because of suspected of (incomplete sentence) and then told the reporter himself that he had a reaction from the vaccine. The report stated that patient was in for a UT, but the reporter stated that, once does not call an ambulance for a UTI and she (reporter), have UTI's all the time. After the reporter got the patient home, he was even much worse. Patient could not breathe and he was struggling to breathe on 01Mar2021. He was shivering, shaking, having diarrhea, throwing up, soaking wet, and she had to change his clothes twice, and his fever was 103.1 F around 2:00 or 3:00 in the morning of 02Mar2021. The pharmacist gave medicine for vomiting. Reporter called the hospital and the nurses were busy and they could not take it so 24 hour nurse called. She was finally able to get him comfortable enough that she didn't have to call again. She thought she was going lose him. She said she felt twice he was going to die, when she called. At the hospital they told him he was having a severe reaction to the vaccine but also had a UTI and they gave him antibiotics. Patient contacted her nephew who is a medic in the military and RN and he said patient has Covid and thinks reporter has Covid too because the virus was in the vaccine. The nephew explained that patient just could not fight it off and said the vaccine acts like that. It made sense because it is inhibit in it then your body will learn to fight it off, like if you come in contact with it and that makes sense but the woman never explained. The nephew further stated to reported that patient's immune system or whatever was not able to fight it off. So, he said he has to have Covid and when patient heard that after all they had fought to stay away from it and then what were they supposed to do. Patient got the vaccine and ended up with it and that is what reporter have found out and it was very disturbing. Patient was running a 103.1 earlier on the night of 02Mar2021. He was moaning a little bit on Mar2021. Reporter thought patient had severe allergic reaction to the vaccine because he had all the symptoms and stated there was no doubt in her mind (referring to it being an allergic reaction) as it was too soon after the vaccine. Outcome of the event of dehydration was recovering, while for the remaining events was unknown. Reporter was asking if patient should take the second shot.

This is a 77 years old gentleman with a history of COPD presents to the emergency department because of shortness of breath and chest pain. Patient states that he was in his usual state of health and suddenly developed shortness of breath and chest tightness. By the time of my evaluation he no longer has chest tightness. He was recently in the hospital and treated with antibiotics for Pseudomonas pneumonia. He is reportedly compliant with his COPD medications at home. He normally wears 2 L nasal cannula at home. Currently he is on the BiPAP and reports feeling better after treatment in the emergency department. He was given IV steroids, bronchodilator therapy. He was also given IV antibiotics given recent history of Pseudomonas pneumonia. Of note patient states that for the past week his bilateral ankle appears to be more swollen and he is on Lasix started by Dr. from pulmonology for this. 6/21/21: This patient with a history of COPD, atrial fibrillation on anticoagulation and chronic dementia, was again admitted 6/16 with increasing shortness of breath and chest pain. It was noted that his COVID 19 test was positive. He was started on IV Remdesivir, but since his COVID 19 test has been positive since March of this year was felt that he did not require additional treatment. We are treating him for an exacerbation of COPD. His chest x-ray was actually normal with COPD but no signs of infiltrate, heart failure or effusions. He is on apixaban for atrial fibrillation and should not have a pulmonary emboli. He was getting IV Lasix, but the BUN and creatinine were rising. We have obtained an echocardiogram to see if there is a degree of systolic heart failure. We will continue the IV antibiotics and steroid therapy. The patient seems comfortable at rest but is on 5 L nasal cannula. The patient reports that he is on 3 L of oxygen at home all the time. I called to talk to the good friend who is listed as the 1st contact and reviewed the situation. He does live by himself but has 24 hour a day care. We discussed that our goal was to get him back down to 2-3 L of oxygen. There seems to be some improvement but if still requires 5-6 L of oxygen, we will ask for a pulmonary consultation. I have talked to the pulmonary team several times unofficially for advice and they seem to have nothing else to offer at this time. Again today the patient seems comfortable and is warning why he can go home.Admitted and treated with bronchodilators, steroids, BiPAP and levaquin. Echocardiogram repeated. By the time of admission, chest pain resolved. Oxygen requirement stay high at 5 liters. Today improved to baseline 2 L. Discharged home.

Tested positive for COVID-19; CT showed increased infiltrates 10-15%; Dehydration/Dehydrated; Chills; Tested positive for COVID-19; Hypotensive; Achy; Severe achy cramps/Severe cramps all over body; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable nephrologist (patient himself). This 78-year-old male patient received the first dose of BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, Lot number EK5730), via an unknown route, on 17Dec2020 at single dose for COVID-19 immunisation. Age at vaccination was 78-year-old. The patient was diabetic and hypertensive. Additional medical history included hyperlipidaemia. No relevant concomitant medications were provided. On 18Dec2020, the patient developed severe achy cramps/severe cramps all over body. On 19Dec2020, the patient developed achy. On 20Dec2020, the patient was dehydrated and hypotensive, he had also chills. On unknown date, blood pressure was down to 76/50. His symptoms for COVID were severe achy cramps, hypotension, and dehydration. On 20Dec2020, COVID-19 test was positive. On 21Dec2020, the patient was given monoclonal antibodies. A computerized tomogram (CT) of the lungs was performed on 21Dec2020 and it was ok. A week later (Dec2020), he had a repeat CT which showed increased infiltrates of 10 to 15%. He then started on dexamethasone, apixaban (ELIQUIS) and the rest of the things. He had a repeat CT on 05Jan2021 which showed resolution of the infiltrates; most of the lesions went gone. CT results had improved significantly. The patient underwent a second COVID test a week ago which was still positive. He had a third COVID on 06Jan2021, but results were not available yet. The patient queried if he can proceed with second dose planned on 07Jan2021 or if he should wait. The clinical outcome was recovered for the event 'severe achy cramps/severe cramps all over body' on 19Dec2020, for 'dehydration/dehydrated' on 20Dec2020, for 'chills' on unknown date in Dec2020, for 'achy' on 30Dec2020, for 'hypotensive' on 20Dec2020; the outcome of the event 'CT showed increased infiltrates 10-15%' was recovering; the outcome for 'Tested positive for COVID-19' was unknown. The reporter considered the events 'achy' and 'severe achy cramps/severe cramps all over body' serious because causing disability; the events 'tested positive for COVID-19', 'dehydration/dehydrated', 'chills' and 'hypotensive' were considered medically significant. The reporter considered the events 'Tested positive for COVID-19', 'CT showed increased infiltrates 10-15%' and 'dehydrated/dehydration' unrelated to BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE).; Sender's Comments: A possible contributory effect of suspect BNT162B2 on reported events cannot be excluded. Case will be reassessed when new information is received. The impact of this report on the benefit/risk profile of the Pfizer product is evaluated as part of Pfizer procedures for safety evaluation, including the review and analysis of aggregate data for adverse events. Any safety concern identified as part of this review, as well as any appropriate action in response, will be promptly notified to regulatory authorities, Ethics Committees, and Investigators, as appropriate.

difficulty breathing; pneumonia; human immunodeficiency virus; pain in arm, neck and back; pain in arm, neck and back; pain in arm, neck and back; FACILITATED COLLECT This is a solicited report based on the information received by Pfizer from AbbVie Inc. (MFR Control No. # 21K-163-3841481-00). A non-contactable consumer (patient) reported for himself that a 78-year-old male patient received bnt162b2 (Pfizer, Batch/Lot number was not reported), intramuscular on 12Mar2021 as single dose for covid-19 immunization; adalimumab (HUMIRA, Batch/Lot number was not reported, Solution for injection in pre-filled pen), subcutaneous from an unspecified date to an unspecified date, at unknown dose for moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis. The patient's medical history and concomitant medications were not reported. The patient experienced difficulty breathing on an unspecified date, pneumonia in Mar2021, pain in arm, neck and back in Mar2021, human immunodeficiency virus on an unspecified date. The events difficulty breathing and pneumonia were reported as serious per hospitalization, event human immunodeficiency virus was serious per medically significant. The patient took covid-19 vaccine and afterwards had pain in arm, neck and back and could not breathe. He went to emergency room and was hospitalized due to difficulty breathing and was diagnosed with pneumonia. He did not know if this was due to vaccine and would not be taking second vaccine shot per his primary physician. He also had human immunodeficiency virus. It was unknown if patient was enrolled in a COVID-19 vaccine trial. On 12Mar2021, patient received first dose COVID-19 vaccine manufactured by Pfizer. The action taken in response to the events for adalimumab was unknown. The outcome of events for difficulty breathing was unknown, for other events was resolving. The reporter's causality for the event(s) of Pneumonia, Pain in arm, Human Immunodeficiency virus, Pain in Back and Pain in neck with adalimumab was no reasonable possibility. Causality for all events with COVID-19 vaccine was not reported. The reporter's assessment of the causal relationship of all events with the suspect product was not provided at the time of this report. Since no determination has been received, the case is managed based on the company causality assessment. Information on batch/lot number has been requested.; Sender's Comments: Based on known disease pathophysiology, the reported event of Human Immunodeficiency virus , pneumonia and dyspnea is assessed as not related to suspected product bnt162b2 vaccine and the events pneumonia and dyspnea are more likely due to underlying medical condition of chronic plaque psoriasis. However the reported events of Pain in extremities ,Pain in Back and Pain in neck is assessed as related due to close temporal association with the suspect product. However, more information is required on date of HIV infection deducted to properly assess the case. The case will be reevaluated should additional information become available. The impact of this report on the benefit-risk profile of the Pfizer product and on the conduct of the study is evaluated as part of Pfizer procedures for safety evaluation, including the review and analysis of aggregate data for adverse events. Any safety concern identified as part of this review, as well as any appropriate action in response, will be promptly notified to regulatory authorities, Ethics Committees, and Investigators, as appropriate.

Chest pressure left of sternum. Reported to family primary care doctor nurse told him and was dismissed as it only occurred twice. It never happened before and has not occurred again since the beginning of April. Second symptom which was not reported was a raw feeling in the center of the chest between the lungs. This had never occurred before and started April time frame and as of late June has disappeared. Third symptom is getting out of breath with what I would consider minor exertion. Discussed with primary care and heart doctor both considered it to be age-related. But walking 200 yards and being out of breath for someone that is not overweight seems unlikely.

Patient is a 78-year-old white male who was vaccinated with Pfizer Covid 19 vaccines on 3/5 and 3/26/21 with a known history of chronic respiratory failure and COPD secondary to a work related injury that occurred in the 1980s followed by a compensation/pulmonary physician as well as obesity and diastolic chf, hx atrial fib, who presented to the emergency room on 6/26/21 with a chief complaint of shortness of breath with copious amounts of thick yellowish secretions. Patient was recently admitted and discharged at hospital on 6/11 for pneumonia and a pleural effusion. It was determined during that admission that he had malignant cells in the fluid consistent with adenocarcinoma and chose to not work this up any further and foregone any treatment. He returned back to the hospital with continued shortness of breath, weakness and poor p.o. intake despite using the nebulizer at home. There was no fever no hemoptysis chest pain or pleuritic pain. Imaging again reveals significant airspace disease involving the right lower lobe diffusely and partially involving the right middle lobe on CAT scan with a small right pleural effusion seen. He had a CT of the abdomen and pelvis which was negative for any malignant spread. Patient was also seen by oncology who discussed further work-up, prognosis with the patient and felt that overall he was too ill to pursue any further work-up or treatment at this time and recommended hospice/palliative care. He was discharged home on hospice care with a terminal prognosis on 7/1/21

This is a patient who presented to the ED with a cc of dyspnea and was found to have left central main pulm artery/left upper lobe/left lower lobe PE's and also has a large clot in transient in his RV. There is no provoking risk factor that I can clearly identify (no recent surgeries, trauma, immobilization, or active cancer). He does have a remote cancer hx of bladder cancer in 2015. He is a former smoker 20+ years ago. However, he is at risk for VTE events by being a ERSD patient and also there's increased risk for VTE for pts >70yo. His COVID vaccination a few months ago is a potential contributing risk factor, will report to VAERS

Male patient who to the hospital on 3/15/2021 due to 10 days of shortness of breath on exertion and right-sided chest pain. He went to his PCP for follow-up and had a CT PE study today which was positive for right upper lobe and right lower lobe pulmonary embolism. He notes that he received a 2nd 5 0 COVID-19 vaccination on March 6th and since then has not felt well, feeling short of breath and generally fatigued. He notes that he has not been very active since receiving the vaccine. CT PE study showed an increased RV to LV ratio 1.2. He had no elevation in his troponin or BNP. His echocardiogram showed an EF of 60% and there were no wall motion abnormalities and grade 1 diastolic dysfunction. Patient would prefer Eliquis at this time. He will need a 6 month course of Eliquis. Given the setting of recent COVID vaccination and recent decreased mobility as possible provoking factors, this will be treated as a provoked pulmonary embolus. Per hospital COVID vaccine protocol, patient presentation will be reported to pharmacy for FDA reporting.

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. Then the second time the chills, fever, fatigue, and nausea started on 15Mar2021. The events were described, "Fever: It is not as steady, when it ticks up, it is never going past 100F, it's been like 98 and 99, that's when he starts to feeling so bad. He provides todays temperatures, this morning 97.5F he usually runs low, then about 10AM 97.7, then at 11AM 98F, then an hour ago it was 98.8F and he can feel the difference. Nausea: It occurs when the temperature ticks up, it's not really nausea but its uneasiness in the stomach, not necessarily nausea but he feels no appetite. It has the Same pattern as the fever. Fatigue: Yesterday morning he got a blood test and he did not have a fever he was normal 97F, but he could barely take 10 steps, the fatigue varies, it does not coincide with the fever. Looking back over the 3 weeks, the fatigue is better now. On 21Mar2021 he went to the ER because he was feeling so bad, there was a little bit of wheezing and shortness of breath, they did lab work and a chest X-ray, they sent him home with an antibiotic and a steroid inhaler. The chest X-ray showed Bronchitis. Blood work results are Unknown. He clarifies that the ER sent him home the same day after 9 hours, he was not admitted to the hospital. When queried if he had a physician office visits he states that he had 2 "Tele-med" appointments with the Primary Care doctor. He has no Allergies.

Patient is an 80 year old male who has a history of multiple medical problems, including body mass index of 30, hypertension, dyslipidemia, giant-cell arteritis on a slow prednisone taper (currently 2 mg daily), past pulmonary embolism on warfarin, sleep apnea, history of diverticulitis (treated in August 2020), past abdominal surgeries (including umbilical hernia repair ×2 and open recurrent incarcerated epigastric hernia repair with mesh in October 2020), chronic anemia, and type-2 diabetes. 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 2.1 mmol per liter. A repeat total CK was 4631 U/L. Sedimentation rate measured 34 mm/h and CRP 52.3 mg/L. Urinalysis showed 0-2 wbc?s/hpf, 0-2 rbc?s/hpf, 3+ blood, negative nitrites, negative leukocyte esterase. A haptoglobin level of the blood was within normal limits. 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.

shortness of breath; The shortness of breath has continued and has gotten a little worse; Nasal congestion; Coughing; heaviness in chest; It was like lumps; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable consumer or other non hcp (patient himself). A 80-years-old male patient received bnt162b2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 mRNA VACCINE, Formulation: Solution for injection), dose 2 via an unspecified route of administration, administered in Arm Left on 13Feb2021 12:10 (at the age of 80 years old) (Batch/Lot Number: EL9269; Expiration Date: 31May2021) as single dose for COVID-19 immunisation. Previously the patient received bnt162b2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 mRNA VACCINE, Formulation: Solution for injection), dose 1 via an unspecified route of administration, administered in Arm Left on 23Jan2021 (at the age of 80 years old) (Batch/Lot Number: EL3248; Expiration Date: 30Apr2021) as single dose for COVID-19 immunisation. Medical history included Heart bypass, it was 18 years ago. It was a aortic valve replacement, ongoing lymphoma cancer, and it is gone at this point, had shingles on the right side in 2015, skin cancer in both ears in 2016. Concomitant medications included ongoing warfarin sodium (COUMADIN), ongoing warfarin deanol, ongoing carvedilol, ongoing atorvastatin calcium (LIPITOR ORIFARM), ongoing atorvastatin, ongoing hydrochlorothiazide, triamterene (TRIAMTERENE & HCTZ), ongoing gabapentin (GABAPENTIN) taken for restless legs syndrome, ongoing acetylsalicylic acid (BABY ASPIRIN), ongoing turmeric and bromelain, ongoing ascorbic acid, betacarotene, cupric oxide, tocopheryl acetate, zinc oxide (PRESERVISION) taken for macular hole, ongoing loperamide hydrochloride (IMODIUM) taken for diarrhoea, ongoing bifidobacterium bifidum, bifidobacterium lactis, lactobacillus acidophilus, lactobacillus brevis, lactobacillus bulgaricus, lactobacillus casei, lactobacillus paracasei, lactobacillus plantarum, lactobacillus rhamnosus, lactobacillus salivarius (PROBIOTIC 10), ongoing potassium, ongoing Calcium citrate magnesium zinc all in one pill 80mg Magnesium, 500mg Calcium, 10mg Zinc, 20mg B6 taken for restless legs syndrome. Has been on his normal medications for years and nothing has changed. Has been on all of these medications at least 15 years, or more than that, maybe 18 years. The patient experienced shortness of breath since Feb2021 (at the age of 80 years and 6 monthes). He received both doses of the Pfizer Covid-19 Vaccine and received his second dose 13Feb2021. He has been to his doctor and has been treated with antibiotics and Prednisone. He wanted to know what he should do about it. Caller's shortness of breath began a couple of weeks after his second dose in Mar2021, where it became noticeable, and it continues. The patient would like to know if others have reported shortness of breath after receiving the Pfizer Covid-19 Vaccine. He has been experiencing shortness of breath since Feb2021. Maybe it is a side effect of the Covid vaccine, he does not know. First stated that it was around 15Feb2021 or earlier, when he first went to the doctor. He stated that he did start experiencing it before then. He wouldn't of went to the doctor if he didn't have that. Wife was brought on the phone to describe the event further. Stated that 01Mar2021 is when he first went to the doctor. They went on vacation on an unspecified date in Mar2021 and his wife had to take him to a clinic there that it was around 09Mar2021. He has had 4 series of antibiotics and prednisone since that first visit in Mar2021. When he got home, he went to the doctor again and they gave him more antibiotics and Prednisone. Then again in May, he had another round of it, and is still experiencing shortness of breath. He had also had other symptoms at that time. He had a lot of congestion. It did not stop but that has kind of subsided. The shortness of breath has remained. He had heard a news report stating shortness of breath symptoms have been reported regarding the COVID vaccine. He had his last shot 13Feb2021, he thinks it was. Soon after, he started having the shortness of breath. At first, he didn't relate it to the Covid shot. He does have heart problems. The first antibiotic was Azithromycin, it was with the Prednisone, It was the ZPack. He took it for 6 days and then tapered one every day. In Mar 2021 he took Medrol pack, which was 4mg tablets. They were different Prednisones and different antibiotics each time. The last one he took was Doxycycline, which was 40mg and he took it for 4 days. Can't remember what the other one was. Caller states that he had the Zpack from the clinic and his doctor gave him Doxycycline after he came home. It was a different amount of Prednisone each time. He had a lot of allergy like symptoms with nasal congestion and coughing. States that it was clear congestion and was probably 3 times as thick as with normal nasal problems. It was like lumps, was clear and was coughing it up. The congestion started when he was coughing up stuff. The last time his doctor gave him nasal spray, Azelastine HCI, which was in a spray bottle with 30ml. He stopped it after a period of time. He still has some congestion every day, but it is not near what it was before. The Prednisone and antibiotic lessened the problem along with the nasal spray and really helped. The shortness of breath has continued and has gotten a little worse. He used to be able to walk 3 quarters of a mile every day but now he probably can't walk 4 blocks. Sometimes, just sitting on the couch, watching TV, he gets heaviness in his chest. He has to breathe really deep to get it fixed. When he had his oxygen level tested, at the doctor's office, it is always 98, 99 or 100 percent. The doctor listens to his lungs and he doesn't see or hear anything that is going on. He had an X-ray for his lungs they didn't see anything there either. Had a chest X-ray, blood tests by his primary care physician and heart doctor. Had blood tests by his oncology doctor. All of those came out normal, with no problems. Feel free to ask for those results. No other additional vaccines were administered on Same Date of the Pfizer Suspect. The patient has not received any other vaccines within 4 weeks prior vaccinations. The adverse event shortness of breath resulted in visit to urgent care and physician office. The patient underwent lab tests and procedures which included chest x-ray: normal on an unspecified date. Therapeutic measures were taken as a result of the adverse events. The outcome of the events was unknown.; Sender's Comments: Based on plausible temporal relationship, a possible causal association between the events "Dyspnoea, Nasal congestion ,Cough, Chest discomfort " and the suspect drug BNT162B2 cannot be excluded. The impact of this report on the benefit/risk profile of the Pfizer product is evaluated as part of Pfizer procedures for safety evaluation, including the review and analysis of aggregate data for adverse events. Any safety concern identified as part of this review, as well as any appropriate action in re-sponse, will be promptly notified to regulatory authorities, Ethics Committees, and Investigators, as appropriate.

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.

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.

having difficulty breath; too much stress for the heart; Having problems swallowing was reported as worsened; He is not able to eat or drink; swelling; She stated patient's weight has fluctuated; Fluid retention/ Fluid retention and high level of CO2 in blood system; CO2 was high/ Elevated CO2 levels and unable to arouse; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable consumer (patient's daughter). 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. The patient underwent lab tests which included CO2 with high, swallow test which was not pass.

Patient vaccinated with first dose of Pfizer with subsequent infection and hospitalization due to COVID-19 infection. Initial H&P reads in part as, "Patients symptoms began on or around Thursday 3/11 when he began to feel fatigued. After two days of fatigue, he presented to an urgent care facility on Saturday 3/13. He was noted to have a fever there and was diagnosed with a presumed UTI, though patient reports at bedside that he has not had any dysuria. He was treated with nitrofurantoin and increased his furosemide temporarily per urgent care's recommendations. He then presented to the ER on 3/15 with continued fatigue and a low blood pressure at home. We were unable to clarify the method by which the blood pressure measurement was obtained and/or if it was repeated. Antibiotics were changed to cephalexin at that time despite a relatively clear UA. His daughter brought him back to the ER today (3/18) due to persistent issues with low grade fevers in the 100-100.5 range, significantly worsening fatigue, anorexia, and oxygen levels of 92-93% on nonproductive cough. Does not have a home O2 requirement. In addition, he endorses feeling chilled during the admission evaluation. Denies any chest pain, nausea, vomiting, fevers, diarrhea, constipation. # Fever Progression of symptoms from Saturday 3/13 may constitute original presentation of Covid-19. Presentations on 3/13 and 3/15 with dyspnea and fatigue. Initially thought to be UTI and was treated with nitrofurantoin and cephalexin. UA on 3/15 in ED was negative for leuk esterase and nitrites. Tested positive for covid-19 on 3/18 with lymphopenia, 90-92% on room air. No home O2 req. Given duration of symptoms and worsening fatigue and fevers, will admit for treatment of Covid- 19. Also considered CHF exacerbation, COPD exacerbation as explanations for dyspnea. Possible CHF exacerbation as well given 1+ bilateral pitting edema to mid-shin and JVD to ear lobe. Suspicion for COPD is low given no report of increased sputum production and questionable history in chart to begin with. Would be beneficial to clarify history with collateral history 3/19."

respiratory failure from COVID19; presented to the ER with COVID symptoms and was diagnosed/died on 09Feb2021 from respiratory failure from COVID19; presented to the ER with COVID symptoms and was diagnosed/died on 09Feb2021 from respiratory failure from COVID19; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable physician. An 89-year-old male patient received the first dose of bnt162b2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE), via an unspecified route of administration in 10Jan2021 at 12:00 at a single dose for COVID-19 immunization. The patient's medical history and concomitant medications were not reported. The patient had no COVID prior to vaccination. The patient received one dose of Pfizer vaccine on 10Jan2021. The patient was presented to the ER with COVID symptoms and was diagnosed on 27Jan2021. Patient subsequently died on 09Feb2021 from respiratory failure from COVID19. It was unknown if autopsy was done. The patient was tested for COVID post vaccination via nasal swab: covid-19 virus test positive on 27Jan2021. The events resulted in emergency room/department or urgent care, hospitalization, and patient died. No follow-up attempts are possible, information about batch number cannot be obtained. No further information is expected.; Sender's Comments: The Company cannot completely exclude the possible causality between the reported COVID post vaccination and respiratory failure with fatal outcome, and the administration of COVID 19 vaccine, BNT162B2, based on the reasonable temporal association. More information on the underlying medical condition in this 89-year-old male patient is required for the Company to make a more meaningful causality assessment. The impact of this report on the benefit/risk profile of the Pfizer product is evaluated as part of Pfizer procedures for safety evaluation, including the review and analysis of aggregate data for adverse events. Any safety concern identified as part of this review, as well as any appropriate action in response, will be promptly notified to RA, IEC, as appropriate.; Reported Cause(s) of Death: presented to the ER with COVID symptoms and was diagnosed on 27Jan. Patient subsequently died on 09Feb from respiratory failure from COVID19; presented to the ER with COVID symptoms and was diagnosed on 27Jan. Patient subsequently died on 09Feb from

Face and throat swelling; wheezing loudly; labored breathing. 3rd morning post 1st injection, lasted 24 hours face swelling from onset; wheezing lasted 72 hours from onset (being 3rd day post 1st injection). No medical treatment received because patient and caregiver were not warned that a DELAYED reaction to the vaccination could occur Caregiver contacted primary doctor to report severe reactions, was asked if we sought epinepherine /ER which we did not thinking patient had allergies, talked with cardiologist who thought patient was breathing like "an almost 90 year old".... PCP advised patient to not receive 2nd shot given 1st shot reaction.

Chief Complaint Arrived via EMS- per wife pt has been more confused than BL, febrile, incont of bowel and bladder. Denied pain. +cough, SOA. Got first dose of COVID shot wed.. A&Ox1. Has left sided weakness from prior CVA History of Present Illness 89-year-old male who presents to the ER via EMS with confusion. He has also reportedly had a cough and some fever. There has been some report of incontinence of both bowel and bladder. He received his first dose of the Pfizer Covid vaccine on Wednesday, 3/17. He and his wife have returned to the home after wintering in another state. According to his wife, with whom I have spoken this evening, last night he suddenly became confused. The confusion continued throughout the day today, thus prompting the EMS called to the house and the subsequent journey to the ED for further evaluation. In the ER this evening, a battery of testing was completed. A Covid swab is indeed positive. His wife is uncertain of any positive contacts. He had some vascular congestion on chest x-ray. He has a prior history of pleural effusion which is thought to be resolved. He does have a history of lower extremity edema. He had some urinary incontinence and his wife held his Lasix Saturday morning. He was noted to be slightly hypoxic around 88% on room air. He was around 85% or so on room air at home with their home pulse oximeter device. He has been placed on 2 L of nasal cannula.

Shortness of breath; bradycardia; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable physician. An 89-year-old male patient received the second dose of BNT162B2 (BNT162B2, Solution for injection, lot number: EN6200), intramuscular in left arm on 24Feb2021 12:00 PM (received at the age of 89-years-old) at a single dose for COVID-19 immunization. The patient did not receive any other vaccines within the four weeks prior to receiving BNT162B2. Medical history included known COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), hypertensive heart, CKD 3 (chronic kidney disease stage 3), and history of breast cancer. The patient had no COVID prior to vaccination. He had no known allergies. Concomitant medications included multiple unspecified medications. The patient previously received the first dose of BNT162B2 (BNT162B2, lot number: EL9265), intramuscular in left arm on 02Feb2021 at a single dose for COVID-19 immunization. It was reported that the patient developed shortness of breath (SOB) and bradycardia 3 days after vaccination, on 27Feb2021. 1 day after that, 28Feb2021, it worsened, and the patient was admitted with SOB and bradycardia. Has known COPD, not on any negative chronotropic medication. The patient was cleared after a day in the hospital. The reported adverse events resulted in an emergency room/department or urgent care visit and hospitalization. The patient was hospitalized for 2 days (28Feb2021 to 02Mar2021). As corrective treatment, the patient received oral steroid. The patient recovered from the events on an unspecified date. The patient underwent Covid test post vaccination: Nasal Swab on 28Feb2021 with result of negative.; Sender's Comments: Considering the plausible drug-event temporal association, a contributory role of the suspect product bnt162b2 to the reported events cannot be excluded. Case will be reassessed upon receipt of additional information. The impact of this report on the benefit/risk profile of the Pfizer product is evaluated as part of Pfizer procedures for safety evaluation, including the review and analysis of aggregate data for adverse events. Any safety concern identified as part of this review, as well as any appropriate action in response, will be promptly notified to Regulatory Authorities, Ethics committees and Investigators, as appropriate.
