Clinical narrative: headaches; runny nose; depleted energy; 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 78-year-old male patient received BNT162b2 (COMIRNATY), on 30Mar2021 as dose 2, single (Lot number: ER8732) at the age of 77 years, in left arm for covid-19 immunisation. The patient's relevant medical history included: "he very seldom gets a cold" (unspecified if ongoing), notes: The only time he has ever really had to blow his nose is if got a cold and he very seldom gets a cold; but when he gets a cold he has to blow his nose from runny nose along with sore throat or whatever. There were no concomitant medications. Vaccination history included: BNT162b2 (First dose, Lot: EN6200, NDC/Expiry: Unknown, not on the CDC vaccine record card., Dose: Unknown strength/volume/dose injection to upper left arm), administration date: 12Mar2021, when the patient was 77-year-old, for COVID-19 immunization, reaction(s): "None"; Flu shot (He gets a flu shot every year and never had any symptoms that came out of getting flu shots. Anything else no, he thinks he has not been vaccinated otherwise since the 1960s and never had any symptoms from those.), reaction(s): "never had any symptoms that came out of getting flu shots". The following information was reported: ASTHENIA (non-serious) with onset 2021, outcome "not recovered", described as "depleted energy"; HEADACHE (non-serious) with onset 2021, outcome "recovered", described as "headaches"; RHINORRHOEA (non-serious) with onset 2021, outcome "not recovered", described as "runny nose". The events "headaches", "runny nose" and "depleted energy" required physician office visit. Relevant laboratory tests and procedures are available in the appropriate section. Therapeutic measures were not taken as a result of headache, rhinorrhoea, asthenia.  Additional information: Patient did not receive any other vaccine prior to Covid vaccine within 4 weeks. He gets a flu shot every year and never had any symptoms that came out of getting flu shots. Anything else no, he thinks he has not been vaccinated otherwise since the 1960s and never had any symptoms from those. Patient did not have any Family Medical History Relevant to adverse event. Initially this completed his prescribed therapy for primary series dosing. Patient received the vaccine at Veterans Affairs. Then later Pfizer came out with the booster, but since he had these symptoms that he believes came from the second shot of Comirnaty he did not intend to get and has not gotten any booster shots of the product. Reporter reported that there were no relevant concomitant products or other medical conditions to provide for this report. He had certain medical conditions but nothing that had anything to do with this. No change in medications, whatever medication he was taking he was taking way before onset of events and there were no changes in anything like that. Regarding testing and investigations relative to these events he reported he had a neurological workup for the headaches at the Veterans Affairs because of the events and they didn't really find anything. He also had a complete workup by the Internist after patient developed these symptoms. Patient went to the Internist, reporter did not remember the exact date, but a couple months after he had the onset of the events or whatever caller went to him. The Internist said it was unusual, that he had heard results of symptoms that other people had like patient but had not heard they had lasted anywhere near as long as patients had lasted. With that in mind, Internist said he was going to test patient assuming the vaccine had nothing to do with this; just give the tests he normally would do without the consideration of the vaccine. Internist asked a bunch of questions. Patient could not remember all the tests, a bunch of bloodwork and things but the results all came back negative. Reporter verified that there had been no other treatment or medical interventions performed relative to these events aside from that already mentioned in this report. Patient seeking treatment recommendations for side effects attributed to Pfizer COVID 19 vaccine. Reporter stated he received the primary series "over a year ago" but no booster shots. He reported having headaches for the first time in 30 years for nine months after receiving the primary series, but headaches have stopped. He also reported having runny nose and depleted energy level since receiving the primary series to present. He had been evaluated by his PCP and had tests run to find another cause, but PCP concluded the vaccine was the source of these symptoms. He usually goes to the hospital for care, not for hospitalization; but this was an outpost he thought in (withheld). Onset date and time of adverse events were unknown other than very soon after the second shot of Comirnaty in 2021. He was not aware of any problem after the first shot of Comirnaty, didn't notice anything. After the second shot of Comirnaty the first thing he noticed was the headaches. He specified that the first thing he noticed was the headaches, but that the runny nose and depleted energy also started at about the same time on unknown date in 2021 after the second shot of Comirnaty. He did not pay much attention to the runny nose initially, he just thought maybe he was getting a cold; so, it's unknown if runny nose started on the first or second shot of Comirnaty for sure, but he got the runny nose right after second shot of Comirnaty. He just didn't connect the dots right away. As far as he is aware, he did not notice the runny nose or depleted energy until right after he got the second shot of Corminaty. The only time he has ever really had to blow his nose was if got a cold and he very seldom gets a cold; but when he gets a cold, he must blow his nose from runny nose along with sore throat or whatever. Other than that, he never had a runny nose before onset of this event. Now he probably blows his nose 10-15 times a day. He did not have a cold or any other symptoms to suggest a cold. Outcome of headaches stopped on unknown date maybe 9-10 months after onset of headaches.
