Most recent FOLLOW-UP information incorporated above includes: On 12-Apr-2021: Follow-up information was received from the patient updating the reported events, event onset date, event outcomes and concomitant product used.; Sender's Comments: The event SARS-CoV-2 test positive is unlikely related to the mRNA-1273, since this vaccine does not contain a virus capable of causing infection. Although, for all other events reported (headache, myalgia, chills, pyrexia, fatigue, nausea, ageusia, anosmia, cough and nasal congestion) a causal relationship cannot be excluded, based on the current available information and temporal association between the use of the product and the start date of the events.
