Vaccine: COVID19
Symptoms: Blood pressure decreased, Dizziness, Eye movement disorder, Fall, Loss of consciousness
Clinical narrative: I awoke and began my normal morning routine. I walked into the kitchen, felt horribly lightheaded and nauseous, and then recall hitting the floor. My husband heard the noise of my fall and came to see what happened. After a few minutes I had him help me up. Apparently I then again passed out and he lowered me to the floor. He said my eyes were rolled back, I wasn't responding, and he yelled my name several times before I came to. After a few minutes he helped me to a chair, where I stayed for a few hours. I did check my blood pressure about 30 minutes after the episode and it was quite low - 96/60. After a few hours I felt fine. I did not seek any medical follow up. But I did want to report this. (I'm actually an immunization nurse, and this will not prevent me from getting other vaccines, but I will be on the alert for this potential reaction)

Clinical narrative: Patient went into hospital on September 10th to seek treatment for a blood condition called PNH that she was diagnosed with in January of 2024. What brought her into the hospital was headaches. Her treating physician informed her that she would benefit from a drug called Soliris (Eculizumab) but in order to receive this medication she needed to be up to date on her vaccines. Patient had a physician in different state who told her that with her weakened immune system it could be dangerous for her. Due to her headaches and no alternative treatment patient agreed after being told by physician the vaccines were completely safe. There were no risks given to patient. The vaccines given to the patient per the patients medical records are Meningococcal-A Conjugate [Menactra] by Novartis batch number L7373, Meningococcal-B (Bexsero) by Novartis batch number PX7E2 and Haemophilus B congute (HIBV) by Sanofi Pasteur batch number UK092AA expiration 05/31/2025.  Patient and her sister read the bottle with the nurse as pneumococcal, meningococcal and tetanus vaccine. They were administered one after the other and within minutes started experiencing SEVERE ADVERSE EFFECTS from the vaccines. She immediately had lockjaw, clicking in her jaw, inability to get words out, uncontrollable tremors and shakes, loss of vision in both eyes, projectile vomiting, coughing up blood, nose bleeds, purpura developing on face, scalp, neck, back, buttocks, inside the rectum, and extreme pain in her arms and shoulders with inability to lift them. All of these symptoms presented within 10 minutes of the vaccines and nothing else was given to her immediately prior. Within hours her body was covered with purpura and her face and neck became extremely edematous. Her skin started opening, her tongue swelled to the point we were concerned about her airway and her gums and tongue turned black. Any attempt to eat, her gum tissue would slough off and she would have to spit out her tissue. She also lost her hair as it was falling out in clumps. She became extremely unstable needing blood transfusions, CT s to rule out brain bleeds and stat EKG s and echocardiograms to rule out myocardial infarction as her troponin levels were extremely high. She has been in ICU with open wound and increasing neurological symptoms. As a nurse we need to assume this is a severe adverse vaccine reaction until proven otherwise as this happened immediately after 3 consecutive shots and nothing else changed. Patient was stable prior to this and has never experienced any of these symptoms in the past.  Patient is still in ICU unstable at time of report now 26 days and still ongoing.

Clinical narrative: As soon as I got the Moderna vaccine on October 4, 2023 at the Pharmacy, I had intense soreness in my upper left arm at the site of the vaccine. The soreness continued for a period of several weeks. I had had four COVID vaccines previously and have had one since, and had never experienced this kind of intense and lasting soreness after the other COVID (or any other) vaccines. Over the past year, the pain in my shoulder has changed but has never gone away. It has caused limited mobility in my shoulder--particularly when I lift my arm up our out--and intense pain when I try to use my arm in positions where my mobility is now limited. I am limited in my ability to use my left arm in my daily activities and also unable to sleep on my left side.
