Clinical narrative: fatigue/she is getting really tired; brain fog; dizziness/dizzziness but not vertigo; it was difficult for her to talk orally/difficulty processing information orally; I'm just not functional.; I don't feel well; This is a spontaneous report received from contactable reporter(s) (Consumer or other non HCP) from medical information team. The reporter is the patient.  A 65-year-old female patient received BNT162b2 (BNT162B2), on 17Feb2021 as dose 1, single (Lot number: EN6201) at the age of 65 years intramuscular, in left arm for covid-19 immunisation. The patient's family history included: "allergy to alcohol fumes / allergic to alcohol vapors" (unspecified if ongoing). There were no concomitant medications. Vaccination history included: Flu vaccine (She has had reactions to vaccines in the past. Basically the one time she had a flu vaccine), for Immunization, reaction(s): "temperature of 105"; Typhoid shot (Then when she got a typhoid shot in country, she was not able to bend her arms and legs), for Immunization, reaction(s): "not able to bend her arms and legs". The following information was reported: MALAISE (non-serious) with onset Feb2021, outcome "unknown", described as "I don't feel well"; LOSS OF PERSONAL INDEPENDENCE IN DAILY ACTIVITIES (non-serious) with onset Feb2021, outcome "unknown", described as "I'm just not functional."; FEELING ABNORMAL (non-serious) with onset 17Feb2021, outcome "not recovered", described as "brain fog"; DIZZINESS (non-serious) with onset 17Feb2021, outcome "not recovered", described as "dizziness/dizzziness but not vertigo"; FATIGUE (non-serious) with onset 17Feb2021, outcome "not recovered", described as "fatigue/she is getting really tired"; SPEECH DISORDER (non-serious) with onset 17Feb2021, outcome "not recovered", described as "it was difficult for her to talk orally/difficulty processing information orally". The events "fatigue/she is getting really tired", "dizziness/dizzziness but not vertigo", "i'm just not functional.", "i don't feel well" and "it was difficult for her to talk orally/difficulty processing information orally" required physician office visit. Relevant laboratory tests and procedures are available in the appropriate section. Therapeutic measures were not taken as a result of fatigue, feeling abnormal, dizziness, loss of personal independence in daily activities, malaise, speech disorder.  Additional information: There´s been some improvement but not enough for me to function normally. What can be done? Apparently, it´s a known side effect there´s an online community, about a year ago there were about 10 thousand people worldwide, it´s affected not only Pfizer but Moderna, Johnson & Johnson and Astrazeneca. I don´t feel well. I feel dizzy all the time. I need to be able to function. I need to be able to see. I need to be able to feel like a can drive safely. The two lots that were given to me have some of the highest adverse responses submitted to VAERS to the CDC. If you have further information in regard to the lot numbers EN6198 EN6201. Where can my doctors go to get the help? The brain fog is absolutely a side effect of the vaccine because I´ve talked to other people whose had it. I had the vaccine and 5 hours later it happens. Because of my allergy I hadn't seen anyone in the preceding 10 days so it couldn't be that I got covid. I tested negative. I haven't had covid. this was caused by the vaccine. I have an allergy to alcohol fumes. With all people using sanitizer I could not go to hospitals or even go shopping for over a year. I was basically self-quarantining. There is a disparity between batches because once my nephew found what was going on with those two batches, he checked for everyone's else in the family most of them had negligible adverse reactions like people complaining about aches and stuff but there were there was one out of seven people he checked on that had a death. My batches (EN6198 EN6201) have 3 or 4 hundred deaths between them. Consumer had her original initial shots in Feb2021, and she had significant side effects ever since. She has seen doctors and neurologists, and she is getting really tired, she would like to go back to real life. Caller says she found out that both batches of vaccine she got have the highest death rate, so she is trying to find out what is going on with them. She got LOTs EN6201 and EN6198. She saw her neurologist 4-5 times, and up until 4-5 months ago it was difficult for her to talk orally, which is part of what happened to her. She could understand what people were saying, but she couldn't respond in a timely basis. She is looking for information on when she will get better and what is happening. She did report to the CDC and did VAERS, but she did not report her side effects to Pfizer.She is waiting to hear back from the CDC and doctors, but basically what they are saying is that they know what happens to a bunch of people is similar to people who have long COVID. She is tired of this; she is a very active person and she is not able to function or really do anything outside of the house. She only had the first two doses because her doctors agreed it was not a good for her to have any boosters. Her side effects started five hours after the first shot. She was not really functional afterwards, she called her doctor the next day, then it might have been a few days, she spent a lot of time laying down. She thinks it probably wasn't until the following Monday that she reached someone, they had told her it could be normal to have side effects for a few days afterwards. AE Outcome: She improves a bit, then goes down. The people who see her say it is better, but it has been 20 months that this has been going on. LOT EN6198 was her second dose, and it was given 10Mar2021, and she had such a bad reaction to the first one she was told the second wouldn't be worse and that it might help, but it was worse, and it seemed to make it permanent. She had seemed to have been getting better after getting her first dose, then the last couple days she was a little better. She doesn't know how much, it goes up and down periodically, she never felt normal after both doses. Indication: She got the vaccines because a lot of people her age was getting sick and were being hospitalized, which she is allergic to alcohol fumes, and they agreed her going to the hospital could be fatal. She says being allergic to alcohol fumes is an allergy she has had all her life, that she inherited from her grandmother. Other Medical History/Historical AEs: She has had reactions to vaccines in the past. Basically, the one time she had a flu vaccine she had a temperature of 105, when her normal temperature is 96, which was a really bad thing. Then when she got a typhoid shot in (withheld), she was not able to bend her arms and legs. It all went away in 3-4 days. She clarifies that it took two days after the typhoid shot in (withheld), and 5 days for the flu shot for her temperature to go away. She had such a high fever, and you tend to get side effects as you recover from side effects, she had the fever only for a couple days. Manufacturer unknown for unspecified typhoid shot or unspecified flu shot, that was 30 years ago, and she got the typhoid shot in rural country, NDC/LOT/EXP unknown for either of those vaccines. She says they may have been cultured in egg or something egg, her doctor thought it might be an allergy to eggs so they felt since the mRNA wasn't cultured in egg, she wouldn't have any problems with it. Prior Vaccinations (within 4 weeks): None. Family Medical History Relevant to Adverse Events (AEs): grandmother allergic to alcohol fumes. Caller said she found out that both batches of vaccine she got have the highest death rate, so she was trying to find out what is going on with them. She got LOTs EN6201 and EN6198.
