Patient stated that the first one, the lady put it right close to the bone the shoulder and it hurt so bad on 26Feb2021 when she put it in. The pain went all the way down to her elbow and it was days and days before she could move it. Patient stated that she couldn't even lay on it, it hurt so bad. She didn't have hardly any symptoms with it. She just had a headache, a bad headache in 2021, and it was touch and go. Patient stated maybe 4-5 days after the first shot, wheezing woke her up and she could hardly breathe and needed to get her inhaler. She didn't know if the inhaler was working and thought she might need to call 911 but then it went into effect and so she got better and night of day before reporting she didn't have no wheezing or nothing. She stated but it's getting better but did want Drug Safety to know that it does something to the asthma because she has never had it to get this bad. She stated it wakes her up when she's wheezing, and she couldn't hardly breathe. She clarified event started around 27Feb2021 or 28Feb2021 and it was ongoing because she has wheezing but not like this, she wheezes more. She stated that part was getting better and improving. She stated the one she does in the morning and the one that was a rescue one. She hasn't had to do the rescue inhaler in two days. Patient went to the doctor the first time after the first shot because she started hurting in her hip. She stated that the doctor said it's probably the arthritis in her hip was acting up. She knew it acts up when they have bad weather, but it was getting worse, not better. She stated she was unsure of when she went, she can't remember if it was in February or in March. She just knows it was kind of after the shot a little bit, the first one. The events did not require emergency room visit. The patient stated they did a blood test in 2021, when she went to the doctor, she was unsure of what blood test was done and results were not provided. The outcome of headache was recovered in 2021, outcome of vaccination site pain, wheezing, breathing difficult was recovering and outcome of all other events was unknown.
