Additional Information: Patient received three doses of Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine. She received the first dose of the vaccine on 23Mar2021, the second dose on 13Apr2021 and third dose on 14Oct2021. After the first dose of the vaccine immediately after vaccination patient felt her arm was disconnected from her arm. She felt woozy. The symptoms lasted for a week. She was full recovered after that time. After the first dose of the vaccine in the night she experienced pain her arm which was still present. This report was no related to a study or programme. Each time she had gotten the Pfizer COVID vaccine she has had week long severe reactions. They were not what Pfizer website said were the normal ones so she had felt that it was right to call and let Pfizer know about the reactions that she had been having to the vaccines. The first 2 were more alike and then the third one was different and she still couldn't get over it. The first 2 times she had the vaccine she had the 10 minutes to just sit there. She had gotten her vaccines and by the time that she stood, to walk to where she needed to wait, she was already woozy, like terribly woozy, and eventually it lasted a week. She was down for a week because of this. It was a weird reaction and she had talked to the nurse when she went for her 2nd and the nurse said that she had never heard of that type of reaction before. She had her 1st dose in her right arm and then had her 2nd dose in her left arm. She felt like her arm was disconnected from her shoulder, like it was hanging there. If she had wanted to move her fingers she was able to move them a little but it was like her arm was just hanging and she could not use it. This happened with the 1st and 2nd dose. Her arm had been really weird ever since she had her 1st dose, in the day time her arm was fine, but at night when she laid in bed on that arm, it was not pain that she has, but it was a soreness that seems to be in the same spot. When she massaged it, it felt better but it aches and that hadn't gone away. Again, during the day when she was standing and moving around it was fine. That never happened on her left side with the 2nd dose where she had the lingering effect. Of course both of her arms hurt, the muscle hurt incredibly for the whole week. But what was bad was when she would get up and everything was in a fog and it took her a whole week each time to have all of these symptoms go away. Like she said, they started immediately after having the 1st and 2nd doses. She figured that she could call and let Pfizer know because this was not included in everything that she had seen on TV and this was not even on Pfizer website and she just wanted to let someone know. Whatever was in there she reacted to fast and what she had was different than others with everything she had read. Her reactions happened fast where what she read says that it usually takes a while and will only last a little bit usually. She did still have the thing with her right arm at night since she got the first dose, it was still there. But that was where she was at. She would 100percentage do it again, she was not antivaccine. Her family said for her to not get the booster but the patient was around her 90-year-old mother and she taken care of her, so she not only did it for herself but also for her mothers protection and she did not want her mother to get COVID so that is why she was doing it. She did not know her weight, but she was overweight. This was the heaviest that she had been her whole life. Arm soreness at night, She confirmed that this was still ongoing. After she had started to feel better with the rest of her body she had the lingering arm thing. The muscle never hurt like that and it was just still sore. She would say that the week after she had the 1st dose she kept saying that it would go away and it did not. Her 1st dose was 23Mar2021, she confirmed that the arm sensation began on 23Mar2021. Outcome was that Some nights it was more sore than others and sometimes she didn't really feel it and it was more like a soreness or an uncomfortableness rather than a hurt. If she massaged it then it seemed to help and she didn't have any problems using the arm and during the day time it is nothing. It was just when she laid down at night that she felt it. Arm feeling disconnected and woozy, She would say that these started before she even sat down when you were supposed to wait for 10 to 20 minutes. That was how fast it hit her with first 2 doses. These ended towards the end of Mar2021. She confirmed that for her first and second dose side effects they all only lasted for a week and at that point she was recovered completely, other than for the sensations in her arms at night time. With her first 2 doses she never had that sense of not being able to breathe like she had this time with the third dose. The third dose was definitely different than the first 2. Her arm was tingling even though her bones did not feel connected and that eventually went away for both but it lasted a week both times. The week before she had the third dose, she finally got her first shingles vaccine. The only thing that she could say with that was that her arm hurt a little, but nothing else. And the week before she had that shingles vaccine she had the flu vaccine and she had nothing at all with that.   No follow-up attempts are possible. No further information is expected.
