Clinical narrative: has ended up getting strep throat; severe sore throat; Headache; typical fever; chills; more sweating than chills; body aches; Tiredness; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable consumer or other non hcp (patient). A 23-year-old female patient received bnt162b2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, Solution for injection, Lot Number: 3013081A) via unspecified route of administration in arm left on 12Sep2021 15:30 (at the age of 23 years old) as dose 1, single for COVID-19 immunisation. Medical history included none relevant history. Concomitant medications were not reported. The patient did not received any other vaccines within 4 weeks prior to the COVID vaccine. Patient has no other adverse events before vaccination. Additional vaccines administered on same date of the Pfizer suspect, all vaccines administered on same date with the Pfizer vaccine considered as suspect was none. Other relevant medical history including but not limited to these conditions: diagnosed allergies, compromised immune status, respiratory illness, genetic/chromosomal abnormalities, endocrine abnormalities (including diabetes) and obesity was none. On 13Sep2021, the patient experienced typical fever and chills, body aches, more sweating than chills, headache, tiredness. On 14Sep2021, had severe sore throat. On 17Sep2021, had has ended up getting strep throat. It was reported that patient had typical fever and chills after the Covid 19 shot for 4 days after she got the shot. 3 of the 4 days she had a severe sore throat and knows that is not typical and now she has ended up getting strep throat. Does not know if that is typical. Clarified that she had more sweating than chills, headaches, and tiredness. They got worse until today and finally she did not had a fever, sweating and stuff like that. States the soreness of throat started on Tuesday and she had a total of 4 days of fever. Was given the diagnosis of strep throat today and prescribed the antibiotic, Penicillin 500mg oral twice daily for 5 days, but she has not picked it up from the pharmacy yet. No problems with vaccine in past and she is up to date on the typical vaccines. As patient had had fever, chills, severe sore throat, diagnosed with strep throat, gave her prescription for penicillin to treat that. Patient has gotten strep throat after each dose. She filed a report for each occurrence and is asked if anyone else had reported it or if it has been linked to the vaccine. She also mentioned that she has never had strep before, and then got it after each dose, so that was odd. She stated when the antibiotic will kick in she was sure she will feel better; states the antibiotic is Amoxicillin 875mg and she takes one tablet by mouth twice per day and began taking it yesterday around 8:00pm. Stated her bottle of Amoxicillin is an orange pharmacy bottle and she does not locate the manufacturer name, lot, expiry date or NDC on it, she took Penicillin the first time she got strep throat after her first dose of the Pfizer COVID vaccine and took the Penicillin for 5 days at that time but has no lot, expiry date or NDC to provide as it has been discarded. Caller asked that this happened to other people and she has never had strep ever so it seems strange to have it now both times after her Pfizer COVID vaccines and is it caused by the vaccine or is this not even strep or some type of adverse reaction to the vaccine and it is seeming like strep and these antibiotics will help it. The adverse event did not result in require a visit to emergency room but resulted in visit to physician office. Treatment was prescribed with antibiotic. The clinical outcome of the events fever, body aches, more sweating than chills, headache, tiredness was resolving and rest of the events was not resolved.  Follow-up attempts are completed.
