(Hydrouter, Encephalopathy).; Sender's Comments: Company comment dated on 01-Aug-2025: This is an initial report of serious unlisted events with fatal outcome. A 94-year-old male with significant PMH for Alzheimer's disease, vascular dementia, diabetes mellitus, bladder cancer, and multiple other conditions, and treatment with multiple medications (including insulin, antihypertensives, and thyroid medications) developed metabolic encephalopathy, weakness, and electrolyte imbalances with TTO 4 days after receiving Fluzone High Dose co-administered with Comirnaty. Patient was hospitalized 4 days post-vaccination and died on 25-Nov-2024 (50 days after vaccination). No information regarding autopsy, death certificate, or specific cause of death was provided. PMH and extensive medication history (50+ medications) serve as strong confounders. The role of the suspect vaccine is possible based on temporality but unlikely due to confounding by concomitant vaccination, patient's advanced age, multiple comorbidities, and polypharmacy (50+ concomitant medications). More complete information is needed regarding event, autopsy and exclusions of alternate etiologies. Given the patient's complex medical condition and multiple confounders, further medical assessment was not possible.; Reported Cause(s) of Death: Cerebral amyloid angiopathy; Metabolic encephalopathy
