A 63-year-old female patient received first dose of BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, Solution for injection; lot number: EL9261; expiry date: not known), via an unspecified route of administration in the left arm on 26Jan2021 15:00 at single dose for COVID-19 immunization; and ibuprofen, via an unspecified route of administration from an unspecified date at 1 dosage form (DF) for an unspecified indication. Medical history included known allergies to some pesticides, herbicides, chlorox, or possibly the products mixed with them/permanent magic markers (mad her lips and face felt numb, could make it hard to breath, almost made her pass out once/made her feel sick in the past); and caused neuropathy up the back of her legs once. The patient is not pregnant. Concomitant medications included lactobacillus acidophilus (ACIDOPHILUS), melatonin, and ascorbic acid (SUPER C). The patient did not receive any other vaccines within 4 weeks prior to COVID vaccine. The patient was not diagnosed with COVID-19 prior to vaccination.

Also, the back of neck at the spine began feeling odd and maybe the middle of her spine. Although she stated the spine spot had a twinge of pain the night before & in the morning so that might not be the vaccine. The right pinky also started feeling light numbness by 01:00 the next day.
