Clinical narrative: This is a spontaneous report from a contactable consumer (patient herself). A 56-years-old non pregnant female patient received first dose of bnt162b2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 mRNA VACCINE; Solution for injection; Batch/Lot number: EN6205, Expiry date, NDC number, UPC number was not reported), via an unspecified route of administration, administered in Arm Right on 11Mar2021 (Age at vaccination 56-years-old) as dose 1, single for covid-19 immunisation. Medical history included blood pressure high from an unknown date and unknown if ongoing. The patient's concomitant medications were not reported. The patient was not pregnant at time of vaccination. The patient had no known allergies. Caller stated, she states that she is having problems with symptoms related to the Covid 19 vaccine. She states that she feels like something pulsating though her, body discomfort, slight headache, her hands are cold. Clarifies her discomfort is from her neck all the way down to her feet. States when she moves, she is even more uncomfortable. On 11Mar2021, yesterday was her vaccine and later that night she experienced a bump, if she can call it that, it was red and had what looked like had a dash in the middle of it, very red. She states that she is calling to report her symptoms and she would like to have something to relieve them. PSCC Communication: Call handler apologized for symptoms and advised called that her physician would be the best person to contact regarding appropriate treatment options for her symptoms. Caller handler states that she would like to ask her some additional questions about her symptoms for a report. Caller was unsatisfied with that option. Call handler notified caller that the Medical Information has resources that may be able to assist her with her question and that they have product specific resources, but we do not provide medical advice. Caller becomes more upset and states the following: She is very uncomfortable with Pfizer, she thought she would be able to take the vaccine and be aware of the side effects. States this is just a statistical analysis for the causes of the vaccine to be used as data. She states that she is so uncomfortable with that and she will tell everyone not to use Pfizer because of the complications and because of problem to alleviate the symptoms. She states that there is no information on the paper to alleviate the symptoms. They gave her a paper about what to expect but not what to do about it. She states it is like collecting data. She states she went online, with the hospital and all collecting data. States we are collecting data but not giving any relief. States that her advice would be to indicate on the information sheet that patients will be experiencing symptoms, but Pfizer is not in a medical position to assist you in giving you relief. Her advice is to provide a contact number or tell people to contact their PCP. States that she thinks people have the right to know that they will have side effects but there is nothing Pfizer can do. She states that she is very uncomfortable. She states that all Pfizer is doing it getting people and collecting data. She states that she feels like a guinea pig. States across the world age and time but that is all they need to put in the little old computer. States the scientist will come out with information and the public has the right to know. She states that she is in pain all over her body, not justified. States 96% efficacy, that is good, however, there needs to be some help. Caller provided with Report Reference. Consumer stated, it doesn't have an expiration date. Consumer stated What is the next process in order to help me to relieve the discomfort I am feeling, you are asking questions, but you are not telling me what to do. Consumer stated, I took the Pfizer vaccine (Unspecified Vaccine) on yesterday and last night my forearm, I took the vaccine on my right arm and last night a bump appeared on my lower portion of my arm and it was red and not huge, but it was a bump, and it was red in the middle of it and it spread out, currently I am feeling discomfort to my neck to my feet it feels like something frustrating to my body and my hands are cold. The caller stated she is having side effects from the first vaccine. Yesterday, about 3 hours after the vaccine, she had injection discomfort but received a red, round spot at the injection site with what looked like a slit inside. She is having muscle uncomfortableness from her neck down to her feet. When she moves it hurts, it is painful but a pain of 3 from 1-5. She has a headache at the front part of her brain and the lower part at the cervical area. She asked, how does she relieve the symptoms to be able to function more effectively. The caller stated she wanted to make a comment: Pfizer has promoted the vaccine as being 96% efficacy and state the symptoms that you may experience, but they do not indicate how to get assistance in relieving the side effects. They should indicate that on their information packet, without going through the steps I have gone through and the frustration and let them know that Pfizer cannot provide information on treatment and let people know to contact the physician. Everyone I talked to is collecting data. I am uncomfortable that I feel like a Guinea pig and Pfizer is not trying to help individuals and only trying to determine information on how this drug is working. I think it should be noted. I have been in queue forever...I spoke with 5 agents in 2 hours. Anyone I talk to I would refer them not to use Pfizer, the purpose of a pharmaceutical company is to make a drug and place it on the market. They are not into relieving the pain. They are in it to make money and they do not provide any information in between. They do not contact the CDC so people are going round and round and round and all they are doing is giving data for Pfizer so they can recompound their drug to make it better. I am uncomfortable for being used just to make the drug better for Pfizer to make more money. Bring some scientist in to discuss the side effects before they put things on the market. The patient did not receive treatment for the adverse event. Patient had not been diagnosed with COVID-19 prior to vaccination and had not been tested since the vaccination. The outcome of events pain over entire body. It feels like the drug is traveling throughout my body was not recovered and rest of the events was unknown. No follow-up attempts are needed. No further information is expected.
