A female patient of a 68 (units unknown) age received first dose of bnt162b2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, Solution for injection, Lot number was not reported, Expiry date: not reported), dose 1 via an unspecified route of administration, administered at unspecified anatomical location on 19Mar2021 (age at vaccination was 68 (units unknown) as dose 1, single for COVID-19 immunization. Medical history included shortness of breath. The patient concomitant medications were not reported. In Mar2021, The patient experienced chills, fever, congestion. On 19Mar2021, patient also experienced pain in site, and in forearm, that also happened when vaccine was injected. on an unspecified date, experienced achy. The patient stated that she did not take any medications and suspected that she may have had covid 3 or 4 months before it hit her region, but no testing was done, so she never had a PCR test. The patient may be a little bit of long hauler with ongoing symptoms. The patient had shortness of breath with the virus but haven't taken pulse ox in a while. The patient major concern is because she had 18 hours of achy, chills, after the first dose, and thinking, this may be a little bit more information toward (or indicating) that she did have it last year. The patient plan was to wait two weeks and donate blood. to decrease her volume by 10 % and a week later when she has a chance to recoup get the second dose, hoping that it may lessen the response from the second dose. Long haulers from the virus have not found a good way to alleviate those symptoms, they try, vitamin C, NAC, heat, ice. A couple of issues to help with symptoms, but not working much. There are people who have had the virus that respond to the first dose and respond to the second dose with a spiking temp and getting symptoms again, and then it clears, and their energy comes back, they don't experience as much shortness of breath and there is a lifting of brain fog, they basically feel 80 % back to normal. The patient wanted to know whether she can donate blood, if she chooses to donate blood tomorrow she should have some antibodies, it's good for them they get a unit of blood and a unit of blood with antibodies. The patient was wondering if by donating blood would it lessen the effects of the second dose. The (institution name) says if you are 3 days away from the injection you are good to donate.
