Clinical narrative: skin sensitivity/Skin had this feeling like someone had rubbed fiberglass on her skin where it was prickly and crawly all over, but there was no rash; Severe aches and pains; Headache/ head was just pounding; Severe sore throat; if you think about the size of a hand-towel and put that over her from her breast down to her stomach, that oblong area was just very hot; her blood pressure felt elevated; Fever; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable registered nurse (patient). A 72-years-old female patient received bnt162b2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, Solution for injection, Lot number and Expiry Date were not reported), via an unspecified route of administration on 30Jan2021 around 10:00 or 10:30 as dose 1 single for COVID-19 immunisation. Medical history included hypertension (her blood pressure has been going up, but the doctor said it was under fair control) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (this condition was not under the best control; she thought her last A1C was 8.2 on an unknown date. She was working on getting that under control). The patient's concomitant medications were not reported. It was reported that the registered nurse was the patient who reported this was the first time she has reported this to Pfizer. She previously called a COVID-19 hotline but she doesn't thought they reported it, they just listened to her and referred her to some websites and things. She was administered her first dose of Pfizer COVID-19 Vaccine 30Jan2021. On 31Jan2021 starting Sunday in the early evening, probably around 18:30 she had onset of symptoms: severe sore throat; her blood pressure felt elevated; she had a headache that felt like a headache typical of someone with hypertension, where her head was just pounding; and the symptoms just progressed. She reported if you think about the size of a hand-towel and put that over her from her breast down to her stomach, that oblong area was just very hot. Then patient had skin sensitivity/ her skin had this feeling like someone had rubbed fiberglass on her skin where it was prickly and crawly all over, but there was no rash. Then she had severe aches and pains. Took Tylenol. These events lasted through Thursday on 04Feb2021. She did not get out of bed until Thursday. Her husband had to help her up to the bathroom. She was able to manage to take her medicines and drink fluids. She was very, very concerned about these effects. Her second dose was scheduled for tomorrow, 20Feb2021. No one can tell her what to do. She wants to be vaccinated but feels like what happened to her was dangerous and could do more harm than good. She reported these events were definitely adverse effects, they were not normal. She added that she also had a fever in 2021 but the fever only lasted a couple of days in 2021. She saw a doctor this week. Her family doctor was out of town for 2 weeks so she saw another doctor in his practice who was very, very competent. That doctor said if everything she said was correct he would not get the second injection of Pfizer COVID-19 Vaccine. She asked if these events have ever been heard of before with the Pfizer COVID-19 Vaccine. She asked if there was information on if she should or should not get the second dose of Pfizer COVID-19 Vaccine relative to these events. Seriousness criteria of the events were unspecified. The outcome of the event of Fever was recovered in 2021 and other events was recovered on 04Feb2021. The causality was not provided.  No follow-up attempts are possible; information about lot/batch number cannot be obtained. No further information is expected.
