So patient received, patient had to get the vaccine for work. Patients employer required it, so patient got 2 doses of the vaccine and then also required a booster because that was her guess, what was recommended by the CDC. Well with the first one, patient didn't have any problems like, patient didn't feel very good but it was all like normal stuff that you guys, patient was told to be expected. After the second one when patient started noticing that patient have tinnitus in my ear, like a clicking ringing sound all the time and it got worse, it like came in with a few like here and there after the second one. Then when patient got boosted, it was like all the time and patients doctor cannot find any reason for it like there, patient don't have sinus infection, patient don't have an ear infection. patient don't have anything in my ears. patient was like really do not know what is causing this. So patient was wondering if anybody else had reported this because patient starting to get really worried because patient don't know what was wrong with her and nobody can help to fix it and so it was like affecting daily life. So patient was wondering how other people experienced this as well." On paraphrasing the concern, "It was all the time and it never goes away and doctor cannot find any reason why it would happen. She had treated me like, she thought oh maybe it is an ear infection, maybe you have inflammation and patient have been treated and nothing has worked." Consumer was informed about the role of Pfizer Drug Safety and Pfizer Medical Information Department for the concern. Treatment in response to adverse event: patient also stated, "Well, this mean my doctor thought that maybe she might have an ear infection even though my ear wasn't hurting, patient took antibiotics (Keflex) and then patient took, she thought that she could have inflammation and so she took and oral steroid (Unspecified medication) course and both of those things did not help." When probed for the name of antibiotic and oral steroid used as treatment: Consumer stated, "The antibiotic, she think was Keflex and the steroid (Unspecified medication) she don't know, whatever they give. patient have no idea what kind of oral steroid, just like whatever they give you, 6 day course or something. she don't know." Consumer stated, "Right, but you do not need to know my personal information like medication and stuff. patient was healthy, patient was a normal healthy person. patient had no problems before she took this vaccine. So you don't need to know all of my personal information. The whole reason that she called was because patient wanted to know if anybody else have reported this. That's why patient called and patient  don't want you guys contacting me, patient don't want to have a talk about this again, like when you said they are going to follow up, what do you mean by that? Are they going to contact the pharmacy, like what are you talking about? Why patient giving you all this information?" Consumer was informed that Pfizer do a follow up only in case any additional information is required. Consumer stated, "Why is it even done? You guys are not going to do anything. patient already got the vaccine. What are you going to do for me? Nothing. The reason patient called was to know if anybody else has reported this because patient feel she going insane. patient was a perfectly healthy person and now patient am not. So patient don't want to give you any more information. patient want to find out if anybody else has reported this. So patient know right now That's probably what happening to me right now." Consumer was informed and requested to connect Pfizer Medical Information Department. Consumer stated, "Okay, that's fine.
