A 75-year-old patient of an unspecified gender received first dose of BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 mRNA VACCINE, Formulation: Solution for injection, Lot number: EWO171), via an unspecified route of administration in right arm on 04May2021 (at the age of 75-year-old) as a single dose for COVID-19 immunisation. The patient's medical history included blood pressure, restless legs, hypertension. Concomitant medications included amlodipine for blood pressure, losartan for blood pressure, folic acid, ezetimibe (ZETIA), sertraline, ropinirole, isosorbide, gabapentin for restless legs, unspecified medications. Consumer stated, "I went and got my 1st shot and I had seen all the side effects, you know they are written on the paper. I didn't go into the site because I wanted to talk with someone personally. I have never had a flu shot which means that the virus, you know any part of a cold virus that's in the Pfizer vaccine will affect me, might affect me differently than others. What happened was two days after the shot, I developed a cough and running eyes and my nose runny on an unspecified date in 2021. 'The big thing the nose and the other stuff to be my allergies' (not clarified further), but I developed cough and it's a deep cough, it's in my throat itself, it was in my chest, it isn't quite down as far my problem was that I have an appointment tomorrow to get another shot my 2nd alright and I have colonoscopy and endoscopy two days later. And I just wanted to know if what I have was just the fact that I have never received a flu shot before and I am having that kind of reaction. Otherwise it's nothing 'for to see' (not clear nor clarified), so." Consumer stated, "because I do have the appointment tomorrow and because I do have that procedure happening." Consumer stated, "and the funny part of this whole thing was that I have not had a cold in probably 10, 15 years and all of a sudden this was what I call it, was a cold on an unspecified date in 2021, except was I have (incomplete sentence)." Consumer stated, "these things, I mean, you could not give me advice over the telephone but I was the person that stayed in and my husband didn't go anywhere and so I felt very safe and finally I got the shot, and I had this reaction, I don't know I don't think it's COVID. But I don't know whether I could go to and have those two things it's somebody tomorrow." Consumer stated, "see, that's what I did that I talk to a lady, gave all my information to her and she gave me you, now you are giving me the same thing, you are giving me her. So, I don't know, I wanted to physically talk to somebody, I wanted to know if this was Pfizer had symptoms like what I had symptoms like what I have as a reaction to the product itself." Consumer stated, "two days after the shot (not clarified), the patient experienced adverse events." Consumer stated, "I am experiencing the cough, but it seems to not (statement incomplete) I still got a cough it's just I have no medicine in my house to take for cold because I haven't had cold in you know. So, it's strange I got like number of these, but I can feel when I take my breath, I can hear it in my chest." When probed for any other help, Consumer stated, "no and that's the thing I need to find out if a cough was cause of having COVID or if it's part of being like having an allergy or cold that was stimulated by medicine itself because I said I have never had a flu shot so that means my system has never adapted to bacteria being put in into my system. So, because it was so I interrupted or whatever you going to call it I ended up getting perhaps and yes, it's just I have so much to do in. I don't want to go out if, if something that, you know, was going to cause me a problem so I have the appointment for this next shot tomorrow and then 2 days later, so I have to cancel my appointments and endoscopy was that I have to call them today. So, that's the reason I am calling you guys." Consumer stated, "I have the list of the side effects, I had my first shot on 04May2021, and I am schedule to go tomorrow and have my second but one of the reaction I had to it, see I had never had a flu shot and I haven't had a cold, it has be 15 years. Now I went in get the vaccination and I was fine for 2 days and then all of a sudden, I have like my eyes were watering but that stuff could be related to my allergies, but I ended up with a cough, and it's a heavy coughing it's not in my chest it's my chest and throat area and I can't seem to get phlegm. So, I had appointments and I don't want to go out into the public if there was something wrong, you know, I have a COVID (shot) tomorrow and then 2 days later I am having two procedures at my Gynaecologist so, I don't think I have got COVID I mean everybody that I have talked to had said symptom from shots and if anything was ever going to wrong with coughing it's me because every time I had something done or had happen so it's not my coughing, it's not as bad as it was 3 day ago, 4 days ago but it's to the cough and I don't know whether I should see anything, have you had that kind of reaction from people." Consumer stated, "I took an antihistamine, 'Zydol' (not appropriately paraphrased and clarified)." No investigation. Other medical conditions: Consumer stated, "I have 3 blood pressure medicines and I have heart problems (further clarification unknown) on an unspecified date in 2021, I do have stent as it wasn't anything major, but I am on a medication because I can't take statin so that's my heart medicines and then I am on a thyroid medicine and a 'Zetia' (not clear) and sertraline and then gabapentin and propranolol, might (not clarified)." Consumer stated, "I am on a whole list medications, when you get to this age that was you have a Pharmacy in your house. Anything in particular, I have blood pressure medicine, I have a 'heart pump' (not clear nor clarified) because I can't take a statin (unspecified medications) on an unspecified date in 2021.
