Clinical narrative: she was going to feel sick; felt achy/ really achy; Felt like she had the flu; had fever; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable nurse (patient). This 61-year-old female patient received BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE), second dose via an unspecified route of administration, administered in deltoid left on 04May2021 at 9:15, (Lot Number: EW0165; Expiration Date: Aug2021) as single dose for covid-19 immunization (age at the time of vaccination: 61-Year-old). Patient did not receive any vaccine on the same day when BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE) was administered. The patient concomitant medication included: Lidocaine (Expiration date: 01Aug2022) from an unspecified date, ongoing NP Thyroid at a dose of 60mg. The medical history included that the patient was infected with covid-19 on an unspecified date of Dec2020. Patient did not receive any other vaccines within 4 weeks prior to the COVID vaccine. Patient did not have any AE (s) prior vaccination. She took Ibuprofen before getting her Covid 19 vaccine. She reported that she and her husband have had the shingles vaccines, and both get their flu vaccines with no reactions. Previously patient received BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE)), first dose via an unspecified route of administration, in deltoid left on 16Apr2021 at 1:00-1:30, (Lot Number: EW0161; Expiration Date: Jul2021) as single dose for covid-19 immunization. After the first dose, on unspecified date the patient experienced sudden sensory hearing loss. During that time, she had a series of three injections in her ear dated 22Apr2021, 26Apr2021, and 03May2021. She did receive Lidocaine for those injections. She also received Prednisone injections in her ear. On an unspecified date after second dose of Covid 19, the patient felt achy/ really achy, felt like she had the flu, had fever. When she was getting ready to go to bed she thought she was going to feel sick like she did when she had the Covid 19 virus in Dec2020. She was fine the next day. Relevant lab test was not reported. The outcome of the events (felt achy/ really achy, felt like she had the flu, had fever) was unknown. The outcome of the event she thought she was going to feel sick was resolved on an unspecified date.  The patient was calling to make sure that she received her Pfizer covid-19 vaccine, and not lidocaine because she received a recall letter for lidocaine. Patient states that the date of the letter is 04May2021 which correlates to the time when she and her husband received her second Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine. Caller states she received their Covid-19 vaccine on 04May2021, and her husband received his on 05May2021 and they both received the lidocaine recall letter. Patient states the letter stated the recall drug was lidocaine injection, with a NDC number and recall lot number, along with an expiration date and it states some vials may contain another drug. The letter says it is a drug recall notice and both dates on both letters are listed as 04May2021. The recall drug is listed as Lidocaine with Hospira as the manufacturer. It says Lidocaine 1.0%, 30ml vial, 25 vials. Some vials may contain another medication. This is concerning to her because she is wondering if she got the Covid 19 vaccine or if she received Lidocaine. The caller states she had no other medication filled at her pharmacy containing lidocaine, but she did have an ENT appointment on 03May2021 where she received a lidocaine injection in her ear. Caller states her husband also had a dentist appointment on 05May2021 and received a lidocaine injection at this appointment. She felt assured that she did receive the Covid 19 vaccine because she did have symptoms. She knows how Lidocaine feels, it feels numb. To her knowledge she did not receive Lidocaine on or around the date of the letter that she received on 04May2021.  Follow-up attempts are completed. No further information is expected.
