Reporter said that his wife is sick and is having a reaction.

The patient started having basic symptoms Saturday evening, but the arm and all of the more major symptoms really started yesterday about one to two in the afternoon, and have continued to get worse. The patient didn't do any treatment because she didn't want to irritate it more. He said for the routine flu symptoms she has done whatever you do for flu, they are not really concerned about those. He said her first dose he thought was Mar this year, and he thought that dose was followed up with in Jun or something like that, he is not sure with original doses.

The lot number for bnt162b2 was not provided and will be requested during follow up.
