A 66-year-old female patient received bnt162b2 omi xbb.1.5 (COMIRNATY (2023-2024 FORMULA)), on 08Oct2023 as dose 1, single (Batch/Lot number: unknown) at the age of 66 years, in arm for covid-19 immunisation.

Therapeutic measures were taken as a result of vertigo, nausea, motion sickness. Additional information: The patient was calling because she had the covid shot vaccine on 08Oct2023 and clarified it is the Pfizer covid vaccine Comirnaty and she had all the Pfizer boosters prior to this one but for this one, she was looking over the information and she was suffering from vertigo and knows the side effects say dizziness but this is way beyond dizziness actually and is full blown vertigo. She had dizziness from some medicine or something but this is vertigo since Monday morning when she woke up and has had it for five days. Patient was asked if the dizziness occurred from some medicine and clarified that in the past they say you can experience dizziness when you stand up too fast and can get a little dizzy and at some point has had that when she spins around too fast and was getting a little dizzy but recovered from that staying still and this is vertigo. She stated this has required her to take medicine to help with nausea and Dramamine to help with motion sickness and she is really upset that vertigo was not stated on it and the dizziness maybe was but this is vertigo for five days. Patient clarified that the information she was reading that did not state vertigo on it was the printout from the pharmacy when she signed up for the vaccine and she printed it out and it says dizziness in general as a side effect. The vertigo began 09Oct2023 and is ongoing and improving but that is with taking anti-nausea medication and Dramamine and for the Dramamine, she is not able to read the box and her husband went and got it; states in the beginning she could not read the Dramamine box as she was so dizzy that her eyes can't focus on small details and was just dizzy. She picked up this paper and called the number today so it is a better day but this is severe enough that she should have been warned about vertigo because people need to plan and it is one thing to be a little achy and not feel good but she can't sit up and take care of herself.  Clarified that she is not experiencing the aching and not feeling good but did get the vaccine and felt a little tired but it was a busy day and she was just doing stuff so who knows and she was not feeling bad but was maybe a little tired if anything but the first little symptom was the vertigo. The vaccine was indicated by her doctor for preventative measures to hopefully not have severe covid problems. The nausea began Monday morning 09Oct2023 when she got up woke up and she got up and all of a sudden was dizzy and thought it would pass or something and then it never did and she tried to understand what was going on and felt very ill like from the movement which was making her ill and she was not sick to her stomach but moved and it made her ill and the vertigo was making her ill for the dizziness. She has not had any stomachache or stomach problems or any other symptoms other than when she moves and that Monday got extremely ill.  She is not getting sick due to the nausea because she is taking the medication Ondansetron ODT 4mg tablets that the doctor told her to take.   The information on the batch/lot number for bnt162b2 omi xbb.1.5 has been requested and will be submitted if and when received.
