An 84-years-old female patient received bnt162b2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, Solution for injection, Lot Number: EP6955; Expiration Date: Jun2021), via an unspecified route of administration, administered in left arm on 26Feb2021 (age at vaccination: 84 years) as DOSE 2, SINGLE for covid-19 immunisation, bronchitis. The patient's medical history included arthritis from 5 or 6 years ago; back problems from 1999 and arthralgia. She has had bronchitis all her life, well chronic bronchitis, cough a lot and asthma. Concomitant medication(s) included gabapentin taken 400 mg four times a day, orally for arthralgia (hip pain); acetylsalicylic acid (ASPIRIN) 81mg. The patient's historical vaccine included bnt162b2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, LOT: EN6202, Expiration: Jun2021) DOSE 1, SINGLE administered on 26Feb2021. The vaccine was administered in a hospital. On an unknown date in Februay2021, the patient had wheezing, can't hardly breathe, asthma has gotten bad since shot. On 26Mar2021, the patient experienced fever, headache, hip pain. The fever was 101 (units not reported). On 27Mar2021, the patient's neck hurts into her shoulders on Saturday bit it has almost stopped, the bone behind her ear ached and hurt. It ached and hurt and now all of that is gone. On an unknown date, the patient's neck was hurting into ear and it hurts so bad where she got the vaccine. The second shot didn't hurt hardly, in fact, she didn't even know she had put it in. It has stopped, it was just today.  The reporter states every once in a while, a headache will come up and then goes away. The reporter states the first one, the lady put it right close to the bone the shoulder and it hurt so bad when she put it in. The pain went all the way down to her elbow and it was days and days before she could move it. She couldn't even lay on it, it hurt so bad. But she didn't have hardly any symptoms with it. She just had a headache, a bad headache, and it was touch and go. She states that's about all the symptoms, just the headache and just the hurting when the lady gave her the shot. She remembers she had to cancel a doctor's appointment because she had a 101 Fever and she couldn't figure out, she didn't put the fever with the shot because it was 5-7 days later. She doesn't have the pain like she did. She states it has worsened in her left hip but gotten better in the neck. She guesses the hip pain started with the fever, can hardly walk and it was getting worse. When she turns her neck sometimes, it would hurt sometimes. When it goes from that bone down, it hurt a little bit, but it didn't hurt all that much last night. She clarified that her back pain is also her hip pain.  She states like today is the first day she hasn't had wheezing most of the time and during the night, maybe 4-5 days after the first shot, it woke her up and she could hardly breathe and needed to get her inhaler. Caller states she didn't know if the inhaler was working and thought she might need to call but then it went into effect and so she got better and last night she didn't have no wheezing or nothing. She states but it's getting better but did want Drug Safety to know that it does something to the asthma because she has never had it to get this bad. Caller states it wakes her up when she's wheezing, and she couldn't hardly breathe. She clarified event started around 27Feb2021 or 28Feb2021 and it's ongoing because she has wheezing but not like this, she wheezes more. Caller states that part is getting better and improving. The one she does in the morning and the one that is a rescue one. She hasn't had to do the rescue inhaler in two days. She wonders what is causing her hip and back pain. It didn't really start hurting really bad until this morning and she means it really hurts. She got up and took some medications and rubbed some medicine on it and it's easing it but not real good easing. She says it may have been the arthritis. She rubbed Hempvana, a cream made from marijuana plants. She rubbed that on there and it helps her out some. She thinks she is going to have to go get that other medicine that's got hot peppers in it. She went to the doctor and she put that on there once and it helps. She hasn't used that yet because she started Hempvana today. The patient did not require emergency room visit. The patient did visit the physician's office.
