Symptoms: Agitation, Anxiety, Aphasia, Cold sweat, Dizziness
Clinical narrative: Patient received her 1st dose of the Pfizer Covid vaccine around 11:20am, and started feeling bad within about 5-7 minutes of administration.  Her grandmother came to the counter to alert me that she wasn't feeling well, patient was lightheaded and just "felt bad".  She did say she was nauseous, but was very agitated and had trouble verbalizing what was wrong.  She was very hot and clammy, her mother reported that she looked very pale.  I went to get a cuff to take her blood pressure, but by the time I got it on her arm, she was slumping significantly in the chair, so we decided to move her back to the clinic room to lay her down and elevate her feet.  Her mother and I each took an arm to move her.  I thought she may have briefly lost consciousness, her legs were not holding any of her weight, but her head was down, so I couldn't tell if she was alert.  We moved her a few more feet into the room and her mother moved to set her down in a chair, she was talking and alert.  At this time, her bladder evacuated and she vomited, her mom moved her the rest of the way to the chair. I immediately went back to the room with them and dialed 911 at 11:34am.  She was more alert at this time, did not report any difficulty breathing or any swelling or itching of the mouth or throat.  She was very anxious/agitated, but she did say that she felt a little better after vomiting.   EMS arrived at 11:52, I believe she vomited again before they got here, she did take a few sips of water.  EMS left at 12:06pm, the patient and her mother left at 12:07, she was walking on her own, with support from mom.

Symptoms: Anxiety, Dizziness, Fear of injection, Hypoaesthesia, Peripheral coldness
Clinical narrative: The patient received the COVID-19/Janssen vaccine at 12:33pm.  Approximately, 5 minutes after receiving it, the stated that he was feeling dizzy and had ringing in his ears.  I had him lie down with his knees elevated.  He stated that he felt better in the supine position.  I attempted to take his blood pressure, but was unable to get a reading after two tries.  After a few minutes, he stated that he no longer had any ringing in his ears, but felt some numbness in his arms.  His fingers were cold and I had a difficult time finding his pulse.  While he was resting, he stated that he had anxiety to needles and "white coat" syndrome.  He felt that he was okay to sit up, so he did without any adverse reactions.  He drank some water and stated that feeling was returning to his arm.  I asked if he had eaten anything this morning and was told, just a cup of coffee.  We speculated that low blood sugar could have possibly compounded the situation.  At approximately 12:55pm, he felt well enough to leave.  I had him contact his mother who was in the store to accompany him out at around 1:00pm.

Vaccine: COVID19
Symptoms: Hypoaesthesia
Clinical narrative: Shortly after receiving the first dose, I felt numbness in both my temples. I have never experienced this sensation before. This was a constant feeling throughout the entire day, with occasional 'waves' where the numbness felt more intense. The next day, I still felt it but it wasn't as noticeable. By night time, the numbness had descended behind the ears. The third day (today) I can still feel it every now and then but it is not nearly as strong as on the first day (barely there). I have not consulted a doctor about it because I was not feeling sick otherwise, but I have decided to report it because, with the exception of a single forum, I have not been able to find anything about a similar side effect online to reassure myself that it is normal.

Symptoms: Blood pressure increased, Chest X-ray, Chest discomfort, Dysphagia, Eating disorder
Clinical narrative: I received the vaccine on 2/6/21. I felt like I was going to get a cold on 2/7/21 and was unconcerned. By 2/8/21 I had tightness in my chest and feared it might turn quickly to pneumonia but had no nasal drainage or fever. I only had a tightness in my chest. By 2/10/21, I was actually scared and had an appointment at an urgent care. They did chest xrays and an EKG. My BP was up but no signs of a cold or pneumonia. I was told to keep a close eye and reach out to my Rheumatologist. By 2/12/21 I was struggling to swallow and felt like I had a baseball in my esophagus. I suspected a flare up of Barretts. My Rheumatologist was unsure what to do and sent me to my gastroenterologist. My Gastroenterologist did an EGD on me on 2/18. By this time I was struggling to eat food and only drinking fluid. Cold and Hot water were painful. I could only have "warm" fluid. My gastro said that my esophagus was tight and had comparison data from a previous EGD to look at. I was given Nitroglycerin to try a few days later because it was not resolving. This helped and told him I was having spasms. So I was started on Diltiazem twice daily and Omeprazole. We tried 4 times a day at first and moved to long acting Diltiazem and that works better. This keeps the pain at bay for the most part and I only have slight flare ups if I am delayed taking it or if I forget one or the other. I am still unable to eat all foods-chips are painful and irritate my esophagus and cause me to have pain for a few hours every time I try. I continue to have a cough that came with this pain and have coughing spasms periodically and unexpectedly on a regular basis. I still have no cold symptoms but a nasty cough. The next step is Ph Testing and motility testing because the doctors have expected this to calm and it hasn't and the cough is impacting my sleep. Date for test is not known yet. I have not had the 2nd vaccine.

I was told to keep a close eye and reach out to my Rheumatologist. By 2/12/21 I was struggling to swallow and felt like I had a baseball in my esophagus. I suspected a flare up of Barretts. My Rheumatologist was unsure what to do and sent me to my gastroenterologist. My Gastroenterologist did an EGD on me on 2/18. By this time I was struggling to eat food and only drinking fluid. Cold and Hot water were painful. I could only have "warm" fluid. My gastro said that my esophagus was tight and had comparison data from a previous EGD to look at. I was given Nitroglycerin to try a few days later because it was not resolving. This helped and told him I was having spasms. So I was started on Diltiazem twice daily and Omeprazole. We tried 4 times a day at first and moved to long acting Diltiazem and that works better. This keeps the pain at bay for the most part and I only have slight flare ups if I am delayed taking it or if I forget one or the other. I am still unable to eat all foods-chips are painful and irritate my esophagus and cause me to have pain for a few hours every time I try. I continue to have a cough that came with this pain and have coughing spasms periodically and unexpectedly on a regular basis. I still have no cold symptoms but a nasty cough. The next step is Ph Testing and motility testing because the doctors have expected this to calm and it hasn't and the cough is impacting my sleep. Date for test is not known yet. I have not had the 2nd vaccine.

Symptoms: Inflammation, Menstrual cycle management, Menstrual disorder, Oligomenorrhoea, Physical examination
Clinical narrative: Extreme menstrual disruption. Despite being on a continuous birth control pill, which means I normally never get my period, I menstruated for more than four weeks! That has literally never happened, not even close, not on or off the pill, ever in my life. I was so concerned I made a special appointment to see my gyno to get checked out. She thought it could be related to the generic version of the pill I was taking, but I think it was because of an inflammatory response to the vaccine. Eventually it did stop naturally.

Vaccine: COVID19
Symptoms: Condition aggravated, Erythema, Rash
Clinical narrative: Redness developed on arms and chest within 10 min of injection and increased as I waited the 30 minutes (since I have a history of allergies-although not to immunizations). Pharmacist saw and said I was "sensitive" and could use icepacks and take Benadryl to which I mentioned I was already taking and he said to take more.  On the way home, I got large hives (without itching) on my arms.  I took more Benadryl throughout the night and the next morning, I had some redness for the next couple of days but no more hives.  I took more Benadryl and felt fine.  First Covid vaccine seemed to exacerbate my autoimmune conditions, so hives are gone but idk if I'm out of the woods yet.

Symptoms: Incorrect dose administered, Interchange of vaccine products
Clinical narrative: Patient had appointment for Moderna dose 1, but preferred to have Pfizer if possibl. We happened to have 2 extra Pfizer doses left, so I changed the paperwork and gave him the Pfizer dose1. I mistakenly injected him with Moderna syringe (3ml) instead, and had pushed in less than 0.1 ml of the Moderna dose. I explained to him the mistake, withdrew the Moderna syringe, and injected him with Pfizer dose. I showed him the  Moderna syringe, and explained that he get <0.1 ml, and the reason why I noticed the mistake was because we use smaller syringes for Pfizer. I told him that he should not experience any harm or adverse effect, and I will file incident reports per our protocol, call the help line on Monday and follow up with him by phone on Monday. I am filing internal vaccine incident report,  VAERS , and will call call the help line of Moderna, Pfizer or CDC regarding this incident
