Vaccine: COVID19
Symptoms: Injection site warmth, Pain, Pain in extremity, Pyrexia
Clinical narrative: Arm was sore immediately after injection.  Red, sore lump in arm below injection site was noticed a few hours after receiving the vaccine. Several hours later it felt warm to the touch.  24 hours after vaccine noticed fever, chills, body ache, and headache. At that time I drank a lot of water, took acetaminophen and went to sleep. The next morning I felt better but arm was still red, and warm to the touch. Lump  was still there but is speeding out, larger in diameter but smaller in depth. Lump on arm continues to be warm to the touch and spreading out 3 days later. Approximately 4? in diameter.

Symptoms: Dyspnoea, Fatigue, Headache, Myalgia, Pain in extremity
Clinical narrative: The evening of the injection, began to feel a headache, achy muscles, and sore arm. Next morning, felt these same symptoms more severely and felt feverish; lasted all day. Had to take melatonin and Tylenol to fall asleep. Next day, continued feeling sore arm, feverish, and headache as well as general exhaustion/tiredness. On day 3, the headache and tired feelings lingered and I noticed I would easily be out of breath doing things that didn't cause me this issue previously, like climbing a flight of stairs. Today (1 week since vaccine), the only thing I am still experiencing is shortness of breath at mild levels of activity.

Symptoms: Discomfort, Grip strength decreased, Hypoaesthesia, Paraesthesia
Clinical narrative: I received the vaccine around 3:45pm on Friday. Saturday night I went to bed and everything seemed fine. At 2am I woke up because my right hand was completely numb. I tried to "wake it up" by moving my wrist and my fingers. It took quite a while to eventually get the "pins and needles" feeling. That feeling lasted close to 30 minutes. My hand was uncomfortable the rest of the night. The next morning, Sunday, my right hand still had slight numbness around my thumb. The entire day my thumb was numb and I had the tingly feeling as I had experienced that night. All day today, Monday, I still have numbness in my right hand, mostly in and around my thumb. My grip isn't as strong as it usually is and holding a pen to write is slightly difficult.

Symptoms: Anxiety, Arthralgia, Asthenia, Chest X-ray abnormal, Chest discomfort
Clinical narrative: The adverse reactions of light headedness, throat irritation, heaviness in my chest and difficulty inhaling began about 20 min after my injection, It lasted 5 minutes. About 30 min afterwards the 2nd wave of reaction came on, with the same symptoms but was even harder to inhale and lasted twice as long. I took a combination of benadryl, motrin and pepcid which alleviated the worst of the symptoms after about an hour. To this day, I still cannot take a deep breath in.  About 72 hours after the vaccine I began to have diarrhea (and still have it 20 days later), lethargy, nausea and shortness of breath. The next day I had a little more energy, but still had continued shortness of breath. My vision had become less clear and my thought process a bit fuzzy. This is still happening today. Seven days after the vaccine,  I suddenly became extremely light headed just simply walking. To the extent that I needed to sit or lay down before I began to pass out. After the light headedness came on heavily, I also noticed a very heavy weight on my upper chest and found it quite difficult to inhale. These moments would come and go throughout the day. Regardless of whether I was just sitting and relaxing or walking around. These symptoms would last anywhere from a couple minutes to a couple of hours. I found it very hard to catch my breath and could feel my heart flushing often. Additionally I would wake in the middle of the night feeling that I needed to gasp for air. I sought medical assistance from a clinic, an ER and even my allergist and I am scheduled to see my family physician later this week.   I am not an anxious person, but have experienced many episodes in the last 20 days that have truly made me feel that I was going to die (no exaggeration!) due to the inability to breathe or that I may have been having a heart attack. I began to have chest pain that would travel from the center of my chest to my left shoulder. The pain also would move to my right lung area. During this I also had heaviness in my chest and felt I could not breathe in or out easily. I am still very light headed and have difficulty walking very far without taking a break because I feel I cannot catch my breath. I still have all of the same symptoms that I experienced 20 minutes after my vaccine. These symptoms have varied in intensity. I have often commented to my family that I feel the symptoms of the chest heaviness and heart flushing seem to come in waves. I am a health conscious person and have never had poor health in my life. The events in the last few weeks have definitely taught me how terrible life must be for those who chronically suffer from heart or lung issues. I am still currently battling these symptoms, however, the last few days seem the symptoms have often been less severe.

Clinical narrative: Started having irregular heartbeat/skipped beats a few days after the first vaccine and again after the second vaccine. May be a coincidence, but I had been arrhythmia-free for over six years after cardiac ablation, and after both shots the irregularity started a few days after the vaccine and lasted for about a week. This was not in any way debilitating, just annoying and a little scary. Only other side effect was sore hour and ~12 hours of mild flu-like symptoms from 30-42 hours after 2 vaccine.

Sex: F
Vaccine: COVID19
Symptoms: Asthenia, Dizziness, Dyspnoea, Heart rate increased, Vaccine positive rechallenge
Clinical narrative: My main adverse reaction is elevated heart rate.  I noticed this about 12 hours after the shot before I was falling asleep, but I seemed fine when I woke up the next day (20 hours post shot).   Then this morning (maybe 40 hours post shot) it was back.  My heart rate is notably elevated with a little shortness so breath (I find myself needing to purposefully take a deep inhale and exhale now and then .)  It has lessened as the day has gone on and now my pulse seems less elevated but I am notable lightheaded/weak.  I had very similar symptoms the Monday following my first dose.  My period started 2 days after my first dose, so wasn?t sure how much of my systems were from that vs the vaccine.  But now, having the same reaction at essentially the same time (2nd day after shot), I?m pretty certain this is a reaction to the vaccine.  (I?ll probably not have my period for another week as my usual cycle is 5 weeks.). With the first shot the problems (elevated heart rate, light headedness) lessened over the subsequent week.  The reaction seems neither worse nor better then after the first shot.  They are very similar in severity.  So my anticipation is this reaction will likely subside over the next week.

Clinical narrative: Patient came in for his 2nd Moderna shot today 4/26/21. I administered the vaccine and asked him to remain in the store for a 15-minute observation period (just like the 1st dose). After 2-3 minutes he walked to the pharmacy window to let my technician know he was starting to feel dizzy. At the same time my technician was informing me about his complaint, he lost consciousness and fell, hitting the side of his head on the consultation wall. I immediately asked technician to call 911 and rushed to get EpiPen to patient. He immediately regained consciousness. I did not administer any EpiPen doses. I stayed with him and monitored him until paramedics arrived. When paramedics arrived, they asked me which vaccine I administered and started asking patient questions. They measured his blood pressure. Patient was responsive and he called his wife to let her know he was going to the ER. Paramedic informed us that his blood pressure was low. On his way to the hospital he looked at us and said thank you. I will call him tomorrow to check on him.
