Same evening of vaccine injection 3/24 - chills and severe headache and extreme fatigue. Overnight - nausea, vomiting and fever 102.6. Next morning 3/25, woke up and tried to get out of bed. Legs were so weak they gave out and I fell out of bed on the floor. I had no strength to get back up to get on the bed. My wife could not lift me, so she called 911 for a "lift assist". Paramedics were told I received the 2nd dose of the Covid vaccine the day before, so they picked me up off of the floor and put me back in bed. They took my vitals - blood pressure was 116/73 and temperature was still 102.6. Paramedics offered to take me to the hospital but I refused. Paramedics told my wife that if my breathing became labored, she should get me to the ER or call 911 again. I was not able to get out of bed the whole day on Thursday 3/25, because I was so weak I could not stand up, and I also had body aches and had to use a urinal because I could not walk to the bathroom. My wife gave me Tylenol and the fever finally broke late evening of Thursday 3/25 and I started to feel a little bit better. I had not eaten all day, but my wife made sure I stayed hydrated with water. On Friday morning 3/26 I was able to sit up on the side of the bed, and I was able to walk with the assistance of a cane to the bathroom. Extreme fatigue affected me all day Friday, but I did feel better. Fever did not come back after it broke. Saturday 3/27 - still experiencing extreme fatigue, but feel better overall.

It happened on Friday and it was there the day prior reporting (yesterday), and it was there in the morning at the time of the report, and the patient was just kind of waiting to see if it would get any better.

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.

Awakening on Saturday, March 13, I saw blood on my pillow and a pee spot on the bed (my first time for either). I could barely get out of bed (an awkward rollover did it). My tongue was numb (still is) and raw from the presumed chewing on it. Walking was slow and painful as all muscles hurt. If I sneezed or coughed, my back would hurt. Those last problems are still true. I periodically cough up phlegm and lacking a good place to spit it out, I just swallow it. I have for the first time in my life been using a walker for stability. Right arm is almost useless due to pain.

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.

I had no reaction for approximately 4 hours after my vaccination. Then I got the shakes and all the muscles in my body seemed to be vibrating. I could still walk but found a comfortable chair. The shakes would rise and fall in amplitude causing my hands and legs to oscillate then recede after about 30 seconds. This lasted for about 20-25 minutes and simply went away and has not recurred. I have had no other symptoms. As chills were a listed side effect, I assumed at first that it was chills or some variant but I was not cold. It was the chills without an apparent temperature effect although I did not measure my temperature.

Severe abdominal cramps/abdominal cramping; Drowsiness; I had a sore shoulder and fatigue; I had a sore shoulder and fatigue; pain; anxiety; small bowel blockage/He had an intestinal blockage; His peristalsis shut down.; bowels are very irritated; He feels bruised; his guts just feel bruised; His blood pressure actually was low while in hospital; Glucose levels were very high while in hospital/when in pain and anxiety his sugar goes up; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable consumer (patient). A 78-year-old male patient received the first dose of BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, Solution for injection, batch/lot number: EL3248) injection to upper left arm just below shoulder at approximately on 29Jan2021 10:00 at age of 78 years old at single dose for vaccination. There were no additional vaccines administered on same date of the Pfizer suspect. Relevant medical history included: for ongoing asthma and adult onset maybe 25-28 years ago. He did not have when he was a kid. He did not have allergies. Part of problem was lives in an area that had a very high allergy problem; a lot of people in that area have allergies; for sleep apnea, used CPAP machine; for diabetes from 2006 and onset date approximate. A1C is where doctors want it to be. Went through half a dozen pills and stuff for diabetes that worked for short time and stopped: Names/Lots/NDCs/Expiries: Unknown, does not have this information to provide. He was pretty good at judging carbohydrate content in meals to make adjustments to Humalog and Toujeo dosing as needed; for ongoing overweight, weight gain started after oral injectable product for diabetes stopped working, he went on different insulin product and gained 30-35 lbs. Oral injectable product: name/lot/NDC /expiry: Unknown, does not have product or this information to provide. Different insulin product: Name/Lot/NDC/Expiry: Unknown, does not have product or this information to provide; modestly high blood pressure; history of intestinal blockages (occurred quite some time ago, no continuing); had operations in the past. The adverse events (AEs) following prior vaccinations: Adverse Event: He was pretty sure he hit the floor before the needle was even out of his arm when he was administered gamma globulin vaccine which he thinks was around year 1972. The company he worked for at the time had a hepatitis break out, a couple of employees had hepatitis, so they had him receive the gamma globulin vaccine. Vaccine/Brand Name: Gamma globulin vaccine/brand name unknown, whatever it was that was available for hepatitis at the time which he thinks would have been 1972. He is pretty sure in those days they used horse serum in the gamma globulin vaccine; the doctors at the time felt pretty sure that the reaction was to the horse serum aspect of the gamma globulin vaccine. Lot/NDC/Expiry: Unknown, he does not have product or this information to provide. Vaccination Date: Thinks would have been in 1972, further details unknown. Patient's Medical History (including any illness at time of vaccination) Provide other relevant medical history including but not limited to these conditions: diagnosed allergies, compromised immune status, respiratory illness, genetic / chromosomal abnormalities, endocrine abnormalities (including diabetes) and obesity: All relevant information documented in formal fields of other conditions. Family Medical History Relevant to AE(s) was reported as none. There was no history of all previous immunization with the Pfizer vaccine considered as suspect (or patient age at first and subsequent immunizations if dates of birth or immunizations are not available). There were not any other vaccinations within four weeks prior to the first administration date of the suspect vaccine. He was supposed to have the Shingrix vaccine but decided to hold off on that until after he got the Pfizer COVID-19 Vaccine. He had the Flu vaccine around Sep2020 or Oct2020 when the senior version came out. Ongoing Concomitant medications included: losartan 100mg daily from 2019 for high blood pressure, furosemide (LASIX) 20mg daily from 2019 for high blood pressure causing some fluid buildup, fenofibrate 134mg daily for years for triglycerides, finasteride 5mg daily for years for benign prostatic hyperplasia, multivitamins, boosters of other vitamins (advised by PCP since COVID pandemic started), insulin lispro (HUMALOG) fast acting insulin taken as needed for diabetes, insulin glargine (TOUJEO) slow acting insulin taken as needed for diabetes. It was reported patient stated, he had his first dose of the Pfizer vaccine a week ago Friday 29Jan2021 at 10am. He had a sore shoulder and fatigue. At midnight he suffered abdominal cramping by 7am. He took himself to the ER and called his doctor who met him there. He had an intestinal blockage. His peristalsis shut down. He spent a couple days on an NG tube, had x-rays and imaging study, they found a small bowel blockage. It seemed very coincidental within 18 hours of the vaccine. He had them when he was younger. His physician who was an GI specialist said he had 2-3 other patients with similar reactions. He spoke to the safety team regarding this. He was due for his 2nd vaccine a few weeks. Right now his bowels were very irritated, not consistent to bowel movements. He was still on a low fiber diet. Asked if there was any evidence people are having gastrointestinal reaction. He had had blockages in the past, that was his weakness. Asked what to do about 2nd dose. He had asthma, diabetes type 2, mildly hypertensive. This consumer had his first dose of Pfizer COVID-19 Vaccine 29Jan2021 at approximately 10:00. On 29Jan2021 at about 23:30, he had went through usual drowsiness and took a nap. Around midnight 00:00 30Jan2021 he started having abdominal cramps that became very severe. He was taken to the Emergency Room where he was admitted to the hospital from 30Jan2021 until discharged home evening of 03Feb2021. Severe abdominal cramps: His peristalsis stopped, just shut down. As a result he had an intestinal blockage. He had nasogastric tube placed for 4 days. He was scheduled for surgery with a gastrointestinal surgeon who he happens to know personally. He had called that gastrointestinal surgeon before he was admitted to the hospital. The gastrointestinal surgeon thought he heard some sounds, so he delayed the surgery. That night the intestinal blockage broke up. He was discharged from the hospital before they normally would have released him to get people out as quickly as possible due to risk of contagion in hospitals. Both he and the gastrointestinal surgeon are very concerned about him having the second dose of Pfizer COVID-19 Vaccine as scheduled which is due in like 1.5 weeks. The plan at this time is for him to go on a liquid diet 2 days before the second dose so that there is nothing in him to create intestinal block. Outcomes of events: Bowel movements are irregular because just starting to get back into eating really for a few days. The first few days home he was on a soft diet of basically jell-o pudding and broths. He is on an ultra-low fiber diet right now so it's a different diet than he is accustomed to. Some of what he is eating goes right through, other times there is no bulk to come out; he kind of feels like he is constipated but it is just that there is nothing there. Doctor later this week will determine how much he can normalize his diet. Metamucil which a lot of diabetics do, doctor did not want him to take that until everything settles down. He feels bruised; his guts just feel bruised; he thinks from just the pressure there and getting in and out of the hospital bed was horrible. When he called doctor before he went to the hospital 30Jan2021, doctor told him this is coincidence, that this patient was the third that he has had who in 24 hours has had significant intestinal or bowel reaction; that he is not the first who has dealt with severe gastrointestinal problems following the Pfizer COVID-19 Vaccine. Caller clarified he has no first hand knowledge of those other patients/events/products, this was just mentioned to him by the doctor over the phone. He had no further information to provide for this report; but doctor might be able to provide further information. Relevant Tests: they did a COVID test when he was admitted to hospital 30Jan2021, gave results when he left the hospital-took them 6 days-unknown result. They did X-rays and scan of his abdomen to monitor intestinal blockage-results unknown. Blood work done but nothing remarkable there-results unknown. His blood pressure actually was low while in hospital-specific results unknown. Glucose levels were very high while in hospital which he is sure was because they had him on an IV drip that must have had glucose in it because he was not eating anything and when in pain and anxiety his sugar goes up-further details of results unknown. Patient had no further information to provide regarding testing/investigations/lab work, blood work, imaging, x-rays, etc for this report. Outcome of events were reported as unknown.

There was a significant drug interaction with Efudex Cream that I was applying topically to a pre-cancerous 2-cm-diameter lesion on my left shin. On the day of my first Pfizer shot, the Efudex treated lesion was progressing normally from the desquamation (scabbing and shedding of epithelial scales) to the erosion stage (starting to form a shallow 2.5-cm-diameter ulcer). 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.

Next day after shot - legs were very weak and I could hardly walk in a straight line. Went for a routine physical with my Doctor at 1PM and never made it there. I had no idea of where I was going or where I had been. Half hour later I remember being in a store buying lottery tickets and the clerk had to help me in my car. Went to bed for the rest of the day and have been improving little by little each day. Was very, very tired at first and still a little tired now.

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.

embolic stroke; blood clot; His major issue was speech and wasn't able to formulate any words; left sided weakness on his leg; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable nurse (patient's daughter). A 79-year-old male patient received BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE), via an unspecified route of administration on 30Mar2021 11:00 (Batch/Lot number was not reported) as 2nd dose, single dose (at the age of 79-years-old) for COVID-19 immunisation. Medical history included transient ischaemic attack (TIA) from 2019 to an unknown date, mild hypertension, idiopathic neuropathy: in the left leg, started in the beginning of the year from 2019, melanoma removed in the 1970s, enlarged prostate, neuropathy, cholesterol and fluid retention. Ongoing concomitant medications included tamsulosin taken for enlarged prostate; gabapentin taken for neuropathy; candesartan taken for hypertension; pravastatin taken for cholesterol; acetylsalicylic acid (BABY ASPIRIN); and furosemide (LASIX [FUROSEMIDE]) taken for fluid retention. The patient has been taking all of his meds for quite some time, over 5 years. The patient did not have prior vaccinations within 4 weeks. The patient received the first dose of BNT162B2 on 09Mar2021 10:30 for COVID-19 immunization. The patient completed the Pfizer COVID vaccine series, the second shot was on 30Mar2021. On 09Apr2021, the patient had an embolic stroke. The patient's daughter stated that the patient has a history of TIA in 2019 and was concerned. She does not know if it was related. She added it might be that if people have previous risk, there may be some precautions, like to take a full dose of aspirin before, a week before. She sent an e-mail last 05May2021 and hasn't gotten a response back. The patient went to the ER due to embolic stroke and was in the hospital Friday (09Apr2021) through Wednesday. The patient went to the stroke rehab center for 3 weeks. The daughter clarified that the patient was in the hospital until 14 or 15Apr2021 before being transferred (also reported as 5 or 6 days and in rehab for three weeks). Then was discharged last 06May2021. The patient's condition seemed to be getting better. His major issue was speech and wasn't able to formulate any words. He was able to speak now. His rehab would be a lot of neurological rehab and speech therapy. The patient previously had left sided weakness on his leg from some random thing that happened. It didn't seem to get worse. It really affected his speech and cognition. The patient's daughter thought that the embolic stroke was related to the Pfizer Covid vaccine and added that thought was in some way but cannot say in what way. She thought that it exacerbated some type of blood clotting. She stated that he never had blood clotting issues before and was the type of person that would take a baby aspirin and get a nose bleed, he was the opposite of a clotter. An MRI in the hospital showed blood clot and stroke. He had blood work but does not know what it showed and presumed he was fine (unknown results). He has never really had any kind of blood work issues and does not know why he was on cholesterol medication. The patient required emergency room visit for embolic stroke. The outcome of the events was unknown. Information on the lot/batch number has been requested.; Sender's Comments: Considering a plausible temporal relationship and known product safety profile, a possible contributory role of suspect product BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE) to the reported "embolic stroke" cannot be excluded. Previous medical history and Old age is a risk factor for the onset of stroke. 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.

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.

On 3/24 he was found out to be having confusion, family called EMS. They tried to debride patient on his feet and he collapsed for about 10 seconds. He did mention that he usually get dizziness/lightheadedness upon standing from bed. Although patient has a history of A. fib but remained rate controlled during hospital stay, we held his antihypertensives including HCTZ and ARBwhile continued his Eliquis. I believe his syncope was likely due to dehydration with decreased oral intake in the setting of acute illness with COVID-19 symptoms. Before discharge is blood pressure was rising so his ARB were restarted while decision regarding HCTZ will be made by primary care physician. In regard to his COVID-19 infection, initially was started on 2 L of supplemental oxygen but his oxygen demand decreased rapidly and most of the time he remained room air, he was not showing any dyspnea, cough, fever or any other generalized symptoms of Covid 19 infection. He did get plasma and remdesivir while inpatient, decision was made to discharge him on 3/26 as patient was symptom-free. He also had received first dose of vaccination. I believe that he would need further remdesivir. We will continue him on steroids for now after completion of dexamethasone for next 8 days he can recent resume his home medication of prednisone.

The patient had the stent placed in his neck in Nov2019. The patient still had a reaction to the contrast dye, a mild reaction, even with the cocktail. The reaction was enough the patient was told to continue taking the medication afterward. The patient always carried a nitro bottle in his pocked but he never took any of them.

The wife stated she was not trying to complain at all, she took the COVID-19 vaccine right beside him and had no consequences. She didn't even have a sore arm. The family is just concerned that there is an ingredient in the COVID-19 vaccine or something that could trigger that in them. Yesterday, 23Jun2021, they were showing a lady on TV that was so sick (unable to provide details). "The patient" (unknown to which patient this is referring) got the shot and ended up in the hospital with side effects. The wife reported that's why she wanted to let Pfizer know about her husband. She was just reporting the patient's symptoms and was not wanting to hurt anyone's feelings in the world. She is not blaming the COVID-19 vaccine for the patient's death, and stated that it could have been his heart or more anything.

I received the vaccine Friday morning, 09:15 AM, (EST) I was woken up at 04:23 AM (EST) by a very loud hissing noise, I thought it was outside, however I soon realized it was in my ears. I was not able to go back to sleep. I realized it was Tendinitis, as I have had systems of Tendinitis, over the years, but it just came and went, and was not loud enough or lasted long enough to be anything but a minor annoyance . In this case while it is not loud, it is loud enough to be annoying, and it still did not go away. (time is now -01:13 PM 2/16, I am hoping it is just the vaccine working its way through my system. I notified my primary care doctor at the VA, as well as audio dept.

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.

Developed watery diarrhea; malaise; weight loss; collagenous colitis on colonoscopy biopsies; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable physician (patient). An 81-years-old male patient received second dose of bnt162b2 (BNT162B2), via an unspecified route of administration on Jan2021 at SINGLE DOSE for covid-19 immunisation. Medical history included was none. No covid prior vaccination. No known allergies. Concomitant medication included allopurinol (ALLOPURINOL), losartan potassium (COZAAR), tadalafil (TADALAFIL), acetylsalicylic acid (ASPRIN), simvastatin (ZOCOR). Historical vaccine included BNT162B2 details: (Product= COVID 19) for covid-19 immunisation, Lot number= EL1284, Administration date= 31Dec2020, administration time= 11:00 AM, vaccine location: Left arm, dose number= 1, Developed watery diarrhea about 5 days after the dose. No other vaccine in four weeks. Adverse event: watery diarrhea improved somewhat but worsened again after the second dose of vaccine, along with some malaise and weight loss, since 05Jan2021. Extensive investigations eventually revealed collagenous colitis on colonoscopy biopsies in Jan2021. May well be coincidence, but interested to know if others have been reported. AE resulted in: Doctor or other healthcare professional office/clinic visit. AE treatment: Anti-diarrheals, budesonide. The event outcome of collagenous colitis was recovering, watery diarrhea was not recovered, outcome of other event was unknown. Covid test post vaccination covid test date=19Jan2021, which was negative.; Sender's Comments: Based on the available information, the company considers that a causal relationship between collagenous colitis on colonoscopy biopsies and bnt162b2 cannot be excluded due to plausible temporal association. 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.,Linked Report(s) : US-PFIZER INC-2021229604 same patient/reporter, different AE/first dose

It's about 2 and a half weeks now. In the morning it was maybe a tad more stiff mostly on left arm, it improved some when walking around and with exercising so he doesn't have to take medication. He stated, when you don't move it doesn't hurt, it's when you move the neck muscle that it was sore but not much at all. At his age you have back pain and a little arthritis. It was strange that it started the day of or day after. He stated he did report just a bit of local pain but only when you touch the area and a very mild muscle pain, but it has continued and he doesn't know if it was related. He asked if this was related to the vaccine and how long this typically lasts. Mentioned he has had this pain before but he feels that he has avoided exercise or yoga or anything that would cause it now. he does have arthritis in his back. He was scheduled to receive the second dose of the vaccine on 11Feb2021. He didn't receive any treatment for the events. The clinical outcome of the events was still unsure if he had this before vaccine or not and its persisting.The outcome of all events were not recovered.

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.

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

Urinary tract infection; Has been ill; He has been falling a couple times; Had a fracture at the base of his spine; Has gout in one knee; Couldn't walk; In a lot of pain; his knee swelled up, was very hot,the doctor said it was inflamed; hurt his right knee; he has not been eating; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable consumer. This consumer (patient's wife) reported for an 84-year-old male patient (reporter's husband) who received 1st dose of BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE; lot EW0158) on 10Apr2021 at right arm for COVID-19 immunization. Relevant medical history included ongoing high cholesterol diagnosed a long time ago when he was very heavy at one point he was quite heavier than he was. Now he was skin and bones, ongoing high blood pressure diagnosed 10 years ago or longer and ongoing diabetes diagnosed 10 years ago, ongoing pacemaker and ongoing irregular heart beat and falls. The patient previously had sore arms at site after receiving the flu shot for immunization. Ongoing concomitant drugs included Carvedilol for high blood pressure, atorvastatin calcium for high cholesterol, amiodarone (this is the medication that would cause an issue with the antibiotic if it was taken orally), acetylsalicylic acid (BABY ASPIRIN) to thin his blood, sitagliptin phosphate (JANUVIA) for diabetes, vitamin D3, cyanocobalamin (B12), ubidecarenone (CO Q10), sertraline (generic of an old drug called Zoloft) as something to calm him down. The patient was scheduled to get the second vaccine on 01May2021, however he was in the hospital and did not have his. They rescheduled the vaccine for this coming Saturday because he was still in the hospital. He was actually getting moved to a rehabilitation facility with intravenous antibiotics for a urinary tract infection and will not be able to get it. The patient was on an IV antibiotic which could not be administered orally do to the fact he has a pacemaker and irregular heart beat. The doctor told her that the oral medication would interrupt the spikes of the pace maker, his heart. The reporter was wondering if her husband can still have the COVID vaccine while taking the antibiotic. She asks will it interfere with that medication. Will he have to start all over again with number one of the vaccine because he missed the vaccine in the allotted time span. The last time the patient was weighed he was 155, but he has not been eating since he has been ill. He had so many problems since he has been ill, he has been falling a couple times. The reporter wanted to protect him from the terrible disease, but didn't want the injection into his body creating anymore problems than he already has. The doctor said that she thought the caller could take the patient out of the rehab facility for the day and get his vaccine and then bring him back. The facility said they would have to do research about that and get back to her. Caller states that her husband kept falling and had a fracture at the base of his spine, in addition to other problems, he has gout in one knee. She states that he would be standing up talking to her and the next thing she knew he was on the floor. She states that he has fell six times in a month. She states that she has become friends with the fire department because they came out so much. The falling occurred before he got the vaccine. She states he was fine when he went for the first vaccine and then the following week it started all over again, he couldn't walk. He had a physical therapist helping him strengthen his walking. She states that her husband says he fell and hurt his right knee while working with the physical therapist and the physical therapist said no, no, no, he didn't fall, he had a strap wrapped around him and the physical therapist caught him before he fell. Caller states that the physical therapist is 30 pounds lighter than her husband and doesn't know if he could of grabbed him before he hit the floor. She states that her husband was in a lot of pain and his knee swelled up, was very hot. She states that the doctor said it was inflamed. She states that she brought him back to hospital because they could not get him up and he could not walk. She couldn't pick him up, her son couldn't pick him up, her daughter couldn't pick him up and her son and daughter together finally got him up but he couldn't walk. She states that she called the emergency medical team. They said he has to go to the hospital and that was the last time he was at home. Has a walker and it takes a little while. She didn't know if he got the gout from that knee, but when they took out his fluid the following day you could of heard him screaming in the next county over. They were suppose to have the results but they didn't, they discharged him from the hospital. She states that he hasn't been able to come up with a breather of fresh air and feeling better. Caller states that he was now taking a gout medication at the hospital and that they told her that her husband had a second fracture to lower spine. The outcome of the events was unknown.

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.

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)

Reported said he was just calling to report the side effects that happened to my uncle, after he get the Pfizer vaccine. Well, the first weakness was in January and February they did not think too much about it because it was not one of the side effects that were told to watch out for. So, they noticed, my aunt and my cousin noticed that he was having trouble in walking and he used to walking and drive and to the church on regular basis after his first vaccine he had trouble walking and he started moving very slowly that was unlike him and he became very weak. He always has been a walker and that was not normal for him, he was very healthy. So, that was the first injection and then he got the second injection then nobody realized about you know, weakness was none that, no side effects that we talk about, you know from you providers that you read about and what was on the news. So, he got the second injection, and he became weaker and weaker and recently he been using walker now.

He could not use his hands and it got worse and he has fallen a couple of times, but they did not take him to hospital as he did not want to go to the hospital it was not until 05Apr2021 that he fallen split his head open and he thought he just would go to the ER.

At the time of reporting, he weighed about 139 pounds. Since he has been out of hospital, he has lost about 25 pounds.

Reporter stated that, her insurance would not cover all the kind of aiding there and then they sent him home and then he had to back to his status because nurse said he should not be home he is too fragile and that was dangerous for him to keep him in the hospital, if he falls, he falls. She was asking if can either reimburse my aunt for the extra days that insurance did not cover, she had to pay out of her pocket for those because insurance did not cover everything and the doctors, nobody know what is wrong, they just says I wish I knew what was wrong, they can see that he was weak, they can see that he can not walk, he can not feed himself, so he can not be home and yet none of this happened if he did not have these vaccine.

It says there might be problem with vaccinations with infusions and she has read the literature that pertained to that. The article she read was from three years ago. It may just be a real unusual kind of thing that a person would have IVIg and get the COVID vaccine. She has been on hold for an hour. She has medical power of attorney for her husband. He had no problem with the first one at all. On the vaccine card she could not read the person's handwriting. Waited to do COVID vaccine on 19Jan2021 when he was in skilled nursing facility. He was in the hospital for 18 days and then went to the skilled nursing facility for 12 days. The only thing that was relevant was did the IVIg have an effect with the COVID vaccine because nothing else had changed. That was the only different thing. Morning after - body pain with continued sharp pain in left leg groin area - site of recent hip replacement on 10Feb2021 at 07:00. Morning of 13Feb2021- rash on right leg - calf region.

numbness/ his right hand has gotten very numb at times; Began to hurt in his left hip; hand hurts; This is a spontaneous report from a Pfizer-sponsored program. A contactable male consumer reporting for himself. An 89-years old male patient received the first dose of bnt162b2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID - 19 VACCINE, Solution for injection, Batch/lot number: EK9231, Expiration date: Not reported), via an unspecified route of administration in right arm on 09Jan2021 (at the age of 89-years old) as single dose for COVID-19 immunization. The patient medical history included left knee replacement in 2005, left hip replacement in 2006, and right hip replacement in 2012. His unspecified medications had not changed in a couple of years. The patient received the second dose of bnt162b2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID - 19 VACCINE, Solution for injection, Batch/lot number: EL9265, Expiration date: Not reported), via an unspecified route of administration in right arm on 30Jan2021 as single dose for covid-19 immunization. In mid Jan2021, the patient experienced "right hand has gotten very numb at times", " hand hurts" and "began to hurt in his left hip". The patient stated that he was not sure if he had been having a side effect from the Covid vaccine or not, but he got both doses on 09Jan2021 and 30Jan2021, respectively, both in his right arm. Since receiving the vaccine, he has had numbness in his hand mostly at night and if he raises it, it gets worse. He wanted to know if anyone else had reported this or not. The patient stated he did not think he had any problems with the Pfizer vaccine doses, but now he was going back, and he thought that maybe something triggered a problem that he was having. Both shots were administered into his right arm. After the first shot, his right hand had gotten very numb at times. The patient inquired whether anyone else had reported the same symptoms. He thought that this might or might not be related to the vaccine, or it could be something else, but he was not sure. The patient stated that his symptoms started after the first shot. He stated that he did not realize it at that time, but upon thinking back, he thought it could have been from the shot. He mentioned that he was 89 years old and would be 90 years old soon. He had his left knee replaced in 2005, left hip in 2006 and his right hip in 2012. Two weeks prior, his left leg, when sitting down at the table for breakfast, began to hurt in his left hip. He said this had been happening since then. He stated that for some reason, today it was not hurting at all. He hoped that it had resolved itself. He stated that all of his symptoms started in mid Jan2021. The patient was unsure if he had shrunk at all. He was not sure of the specific start dates of his symptoms. He just knew it started after the first dose, sometime in mid Jan2021. He did not make any correlation between the two at first. He took it as something was just wrong with his hand. He started that it happens more at night, when he is sleeping. If he wakes up the hand hurts and is numb. The worst phase was 2 weeks prior. Since then, it had started to improve. Regarding his "left hip hurting", he was unsure if it was still ongoing or what the outcome was. He knew that this morning it had not bothered him at all. The patient did not undergo any investigation or assessment. The outcome of the event right hand has gotten very numb at times and left hip hurt was recovered on an unspecified date in 2021. The outcome of the event hand hurts was recovering. Follow-up attempts are completed. No further information is expected.
