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

She had the vaccine on Thursday and no visible side effects. On Saturday she was very weak and had to be lowered to the ground. She was drooling and staring vacantly and was not responding to questions. This lasted for a bit. I called the ambulance which took her to the hospital. They hydrated her and sent her home with no idea what caused it. The next day she was sitting on the toilet and passed out with her eyes closed. She started drooling. I again called the EMTs and they came. She had come to and they said she fainted and it was probably because she was having a bowel movement. This has not happened before or since these two episodes. I do not know if she should get the next shot.

Medical history included type 2 diabetes (Diagnosed 15-16 years before this reporting), high blood pressure prior to that. She lost a lot of weight since she found out she was diabetic, which was prior to getting vaccine, around 15-16 years before this reporting. She lost 50 lbs in 15 years. It has been gradually. She gets Prolia shots and did not get one this month. She has scoliosis and osteoporosis and that was one of the things that happened. She had previously broken her shoulder blade and some ribs on her right side. She confirmed that she broke it over a year before this reporting. She has a yellow mark and a little reddish mark that looks like someone hit you. It is still there and it is a fading black and blue mark and does not hurt any more. She takes blood pressure medicine. She does not take diabetic medication. She did in the past, but it caused her ankles to swell and then she started controlling it with diet. She was right handed and had trouble trying to do things with her left hand. This started prior to the vaccine. Family medical history included: Family heart issues and diabetes. Heart disease and cancer in the family. There were no concomitant medications. The patient previously took Prolia for back problems.

She had previously broken her shoulder blade and some ribs on her right side. That has been bothering her and it felt worse when she got the vaccine and she could hardly lift her head up. The pain went from her left shoulder blade to right shoulder blade and stopped right away and then it felt like a lightening thing. She had trouble keeping her head up. She still has trouble with shoulders and is putting heating pads on them. She felt nauseous off and on. Her bones usually hurt, but after the second injection they hurt worse. As long as she puts heat on them, it feels better. The second dose feel like it hit the bone. The first one did not feel that way.

My grandmother had transient very high blood pressure for a few days about three weeks after vaccination. She always has really low BP because her thyroid is a little low and she's always had very low bp like 110/80. But for a couple days her bp was 156/80 and gradually went back down. I'm reporting this, because my mother-in-law had the exact same bp and experience about three weeks after the second dose. While transient, I think if this represents a trend, they should monitor at least the elderly for bp spikes a few weeks after the shot, just to make sure they don't have a stroke. I'll report my mother-in-law's experience next, she's almost the same age.

She said she doesn't know if her mother will still be able to do that at this time. Reported her mother was checked for a UTI while at the hospital. She said the hospital went ahead and treated her mother for a UTI without knowing if her mother had a UTI. She said because her mother is elderly, a lot of times the elderly have UTIs. She said the hospital didn't want to waste time and went ahead and treated her mother for a UTI because her mother hadn't been on antibiotics recently. The caller stated she did not have any information on the medications her mother has been given while at the hospital. Reported at first she did not think her mother's symptoms had to do with her mother's first COVID-19 Vaccine dose, but then there was a new part to her mother's story that made her think her mother's symptoms had to do with the COVID-19 Vaccine.

My mother died on February 19, 2021. She had her 2nd dose vaccine on 2/11, on 2/12 it was noted that she was not able to walk, on 2/13 she was walking at 30%, on 2/14 she was walking with difficulty, on Monday 2/15 she was throwing up violently and her blood pressure dropped, so she was sent to Clinic. My sister was told she was just constipated and she had A Fib (never reported before to us). My sister was then told on 2/16 early a.m. that she had a blood clot that destroyed her colon. Due to age surgery would likely not be successful. She then died on the Friday. We are reporting in the event that the Pfizer vaccine was somehow a contributing factor to the A fib or to the Clot. She has no history of A fib or clotting prior to this incident. She was 93, and did have dementia, but was able to eat normal foods prior to this. What was unusual was the challenge in walking the day after the shot. Other than that no difference was observed until the day she was admitted to the hospital emergency room. She was a resident at Assisted Living, Memory Care, and that is where she received the vaccine. The mailing address I provided is her mailing address prior to death.

94 yo F presented from assist living with slur speech for 1 day, last seen well on 1/30. Pt has a PMH of dementia (Baseline, she will keep saying, "help me, help me", AOX3, using walker, could go to bathroom by herself), hx breast cancer (s/p lumpectomy, chemo, Tamoxifen, currently not on tx), HTN, HLD, vaginal bleeding (no further work up by family), overactive bladder (on solifenacin), hx of MI (undocumented, no PCI or CABG), spine stimulator placed. According to patient's daughter, she saw her January 30, she was doing okay after the vaccine. On 1/31 when the daughter called her on the phone, she knows she has some slurred speech, when she saw patient in the facility, she noticed her gait becomes unsteady. She decided to bring her to the hospital. 1/30, she noticed the patient has spilled up some water, otherwise denies fever, chills, shortness of breath, pain, chronically, she has constipations taking laxative. In the ED, pt was afebrile, 36.1, heart rate 85, blood pressure 130/61, respiratory rate 18, saturations 98 on room air. Labs shows, sodium 134, potassium 3.6, bicarb 28, BUN 18, creatinine 0.97, glucose 119, WBC 12.5, hemoglobin 11.8, platelet 239. PT INR 1.09, COVID negative. CT head suggestive of subacute infarct. Possible including small vessel ischemic changes. Chest xray questionable patchy left retrocardiac atelectasis or pneumonia. EKG shows atrial fibrillation's heart rate 71, QTc 610. Case was discussed with neurology in the ED, patient was not a TPA or embolectomy candidate. CT head suggestive of acute/subacute cerebellar infarct. Patient does not have any residual or sensory deficit except expressive aphasia. Neuro saw patient, mentioned patient appears to have had a stroke that by the CAT scan criteria is already subacute. The patient was admitted on the stroke pathway. The patient has new onset atrial fibrillation and therefore should be considered for anticoagulation. The patient cannot have an MRI of the brain due to her spinal cord stimulator but given that the stroke is already subacute on the CT without any signs of hemorrhagic conversion she could be started on this at this point. If she gets started on anticoagulation the aspirin should be stopped. If the patient cannot go on anticoagulation or does not want to then she might be a candidate for dual antiplatelet therapy for secondary stroke prevention. 2D echo shows normal ejection fraction of the left ventricle estimated at 70 to 75%. Regional wall motion abnormality was not observed. Right ventricle systolic function is normal. Moderate aortic stenosis. Cardio was consulted for anticoagulation, From cardioembolic prevention standpoint, anticoagulation is recommended to prevent CVA. However, she has significant risks for bleeding given recent vaginal bleeding (investigation not pursued to spare her comfort), age, comorbidities, etc. Again, further discussion between family and primary team is required regarding risks vs benefits. Was evaluated by speech-language pathology present minimal oral dysphagia no overt clinical signs of aspiration, recommended to continue with NDD 2 diet/thin liquid. Patient was discharged to ECF.

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

During the 15 minute waiting period, the patient developed headache, then began to have chest pressure and shortness of breath. She was given depo medrol 80 and benadryl 50mg. She was further evaluated and found to have blood pressure of 200/100 and oxygen saturation was 80 % . She was transferred right away to ambulance and transported to ER. She was able to stand on her own to transfer to the gurney to be transported. We have not been able to have follow up as of yet; she is not a patient of Health Center so records have not come to me (nor can they be released to me) from the hospital. We are continuing to try to reach the patient or her family to follow up on this case. I will update this report as more information becomes available to me. * the Regional Covid-19 Vaccine Clinic is a collaborative effort of Health Center, the Health Dept, Regional Hospital, and Pharmacy. Vaccines are given to all qualified residents, so the patients coming through on a certain day may or may not be the patients of the physicians working that day.

On May 14, 2021, at 9:30 p.m., patient was found on the floor by caretakers who had her taken to the Emergency Dept. She exhibited signs of a stroke; her left side was paralyzed. A CT scan of her brain was done, which showed a blood clot in her brain, which caused the stroke. She was taken to medical center, where she remains as of today, June 3, 2021. She remains paralyzed on her left side so she is unable to walk, or to use her left arm, or to swallow without aspirating food into her lungs. Potentially we have found a care facility and hope that she will be moved there within a few days. Of all the people I know, patient is the last person I would expect to have a stroke. She has always had good blood, a strong heart, strong bones, has never smoked or drank, has never been overweight, and has always worked hard and exercised daily. Her internal organs are all strong and well-functioning. She has had two CT scans of her brain within the last couple of years, the last one near the end of 2020, and they were both clear. These scans were done following falls which she took. She had the the COVID-19 on January 23 and February 17 of 2021 and had a stroke on May 14, 2021. There is no doubt in my mind that her stroke was caused by these injections. She will never recover from this event and will probably get pneumonia, which will bring about her death!

Excerpt taken from patient's medical record notes. Recreational Therapist was in room with patient who was at baseline mentation at that time, and was getting patient a cup of tea. Rec Therapist observed patient to "all of a sudden slouch down toward left side" and became unresponsive. Therapist called for help, and Registered Nurse (RN) and Certified Nurse Aide (CNA) came into room. Patient was initially non-responsive and profusely sweating and hot to touch. Vitals were taken (see below). The patient then slowly became responsive after approximately 4 minutes and was visibly nauseous and appeared like she was going to vomit, but ultimately did not. Patient was assisted into bed, APRN was called, order for vital signs to be taken every 4 hours for 72 hours, and Electrocardiogram (EKG) to be performed. EKG results were abnormal, indicative of infarct; APRN ordered transport to Emergency Department. Patient returned from Hospital ED at approximately 10:45 PM same day (1/28/21), with transfer paperwork documenting a Hospital diagnosis of "Syncope" without any additional lab results or any new medication or treatment orders in the documentation. Follow up the next day (1/29/21) by RN at the Nursing Facility--RN logged into the Hospital medical Charting system, only to find that there was no record whatsoever of the patient being in the Emergency Department on 1/28/21--no notes, no labs, no summary from a practitioner. Patient recovered and has resumed close-to-baseline activity and functioning.

The above info is available but it is as my mothers....She had a bad reaction ( very flu like for several days). I proceeded with second shot in February....she did not feel well, but just sorta didn't want to get up anymore. She slept more and more and more. Her appetite declined. I got her up and she was ravenous. She slept more and seemed in a lethargic way to take less and less interest. She was living independently and had been most of her life. We scheduled an internist report. She passed labs with flying colors....... when you are 96 they look at everything as remarkable ( will live for 10 more years). I also was not equating any of this with the vaccine. However, we could not ignore it any longer Saturday the 4-10-21. I took her to ER. She was lucid and walking with difficulty. I took her in by ambulance as she was just saying, "I'm so week!" I'm so whoozie! On Sunday they are talking immediate intensive rehab. Neurologist leave for 5 days and in next 48 hours she becomes 200% less. First delusional, then sleeps all day. He showed me an MRI that to a layperson looked like little hives all over the brain ( I had also gotten hives from somewhere on my skin that I originally equated with Covid but no one thought so. I have also had the two shots.) One week out I was looking at Hospic eand long term care placement. Yesterday they couldn't get a diagnosis for Hospice ( the person sent to sign her up). I thought what? After all these tests and maybe it is cardio, maybe it is exchemic strokes, they don't have a diagnosis because she hasn't changed much since 2017? We have to take this totally fine independent woman and in one week say, "She has Dementia?" It's possible but what caused it? It's not age......we live until we are 110. Yes, that MRI showed me little formations of clotting all over ( no major bleed if any in a lobe). Over the last week I have been looking at her health and how we just slowly went downhill. It's easy to blame a vaccine, but still..........I am saying that there were NO OTHER reasons other than she didn't seem to tolerate the shots well........first was acute, and the second was long term and slow...........

She has not been feeling herself; Wheezing; Mild tachycardia; Oxygen saturation drop; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable nurse (patient's son) via Pfizer sponsored program. A 97-years-old female patient received BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, solution for injection) (at 97 years of age), via an unspecified route of administration, administered in arm right on 18Mar2021 10:45 (Batch/Lot Number: EP6955) as 1ST DOSE, SINGLE for COVID-19 immunisation. Medical history included compression fracture (fell in the driveway) from Apr2010 to an unknown date, ongoing hypertension for a long time sine 1980s and has gotten less with age; diagnosed allergies, compromised immune status, respiratory illness, genetic/chromosomal abnormalities, endocrine abnormalities (including diabetes) and obesity. The patient has no known drug allergies and no known food allergies. Family history included cardiovascular, cholesterol, blood pressure, but nothing relevant to her situation. She was never a cigarette smoker and she had no history of smoking. Concomitant medication included atenolol taken for blood pressure from an unspecified start date and ongoing. The patient previously took atenolol for hypertension and experienced dizzy and sometimes her pulse will get a little on the higher side. She had no history of previous immunization with the Pfizer vaccine considered as suspect. She had no prior vaccinations within four weeks prior to the first administration date of the covid vaccine. She did not receive any recent vaccines for SARS-CoV2 other than Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine prior to the event being reported. The patient did not receive any recent vaccines for any other conditions prior to the event/s being reported. Patient received the first dose of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine 18Mar2021 and has yet to get the second dose. The patient experienced wheezing in the morning, mild tachycardia and Oxygen saturation drop on 15Apr2021. The patient got her first dose in Mar2021 and since then she had not been feeling herself so they waited on getting her second dose. The reporter asked if the patient can get her second dose or does she have to start all over. The patient is in a hospice, and she was at home; she can get out of the house rarely. The first dose was on 18Mar2021 and she tolerated it well. It was mentioned that she was kept in a tight bubble and anyone that comes into contact with her has to get the shot. She did about a month after her first dose experience wheezing. She never had wheezing before and she had to have oxygen, which she never had to use before. He said they had to do intermittent oxygen. She was doing ok now, and he was not sure if a month after the first dose was some kind of a reaction. The patient's first dose was on 18Mar2021 and has yet to get the second dose. He said a little less than a month later she had wheezing and that she never had wheezing and he never heard her wheezing. He said it was almost four weeks after the date of her vaccination. He said they put her on oxygen at home because her O2 saturation dropped. She was in the high 80's and she was usually in the high 90's. He said in mid Apr2021 she was in the 80's. He said the oxygen was intermittent now and they use 1L. He said he wanted to make sure her oxygen saturation stays good and that it was not life threatening. He said given her age she was dropping O2 saturations in the 80's and she was never in the 80's. She did not have her second dose and it was due 08Apr2021. He said she was doing ok, no wheezing at the time. He said with her age and hospice, he heard things on TV that there were lots of problems with the second dose any of the vaccines so they watch close. He said any contact with her is vaccinated and she stays in a tight bubble at home. He says they are being very conservative. He says she got the vaccine around 10:45am. It was mentioned that the patient was experiencing mild tachycardia. She was in the 90's or low 100's but was not sure if it was related to the wheezing or if it was the dose. He said he noticed it the first time on the same day he noticed the wheezing. He said that on 15Apr2021 her heart rate was 146 when checking oxygen saturation. He said that his mother's blood pressure was usually 115/75. He said her hypertension has gotten less with age. She has had no blood work done because of COVID or the pandemic. He says no pcp visits, only telemedicine visits. He said she has had no labs done in a long time but that they monitor every day and as long as she's eating, etc. Therapeutic measure was taken as a result of wheezing and Oxygen saturation drop wherein she was given intermittent oxygen 1L ordered by the hospice nurse. The caller says the used no inhaler or nebulizer because the oxygen brought her saturation up. He says they also gave her some cough medicine. He does not remember the name of the cough medicine. He says it was just some DM, dextromethorphan, from . The events did not result from Emergency Department, patient was not hospitalized, not admitted to an Intensive Care Unit. The patient was recovering from the events as she was getting better. Information on Lot/Batch number was available. Additional information has been requested.; Sender's Comments: As there is limited information in the case provided, the causal association between the event and the suspect drug cannot be excluded.

Pfizer vaccine, she presents with tremors, hypertension, tachycardia. Pt has a h/o Afib, and she tells me that she has had tremors in her RLE x6 months or so, but that it worsened today. Denies precipitating events. She also had SBPs up to 170's (150's/90's on my interview) and is tachy to 140's in sinus tach. Denies any caffeine today or anxiety or behavioral contributors today, no pain or other stimuli. Pt admits she is feeling jittery when she talks with me, and that taking deep breaths slows her heart rate to 70's-80's. Patient has notable history of cHF with associated LE edema in the past and should strongly be considered as part of this ADE assessment.

I am the discharging physician and did not admit her but based off the information at admit: the patient received her Pfizer vaccine and developed nausea during her observation time but it was not significant enough to cause concern for the family. They took her home in good spirits and she appeared to be doing well until the evening when she became unresponsive. She developed high fevers and came to the ER with low normal O2 saturations and evidence of sepsis. Blood work showed a markedly elevated white count and an elevated lactic acid of 8 along with an elevated renal function and cardiac enzymes without EKG changes (multiorgan failure). Her COVID test was negative. Blood and urine cultures were negative. A CT scan of the abdomen demonstrated no acute findings but likely chronic fecal impaction. CT Head was negative for bleed or stroke. At this time is is unclear as to what was the cause of her symptoms but we believe it was presumed bacterial sepsis but this diagnosis is in question as all her cultures were unremarkable. The family opted on comfort measures rather than aggressive intervention and she was sent home with hospice. Since it occurred so closely after receiving the vaccine I think it was worthwhile to bring it to your attention.
