Clinical narrative: Left leg numb from the whole left butt cheek down to his knee/ left arm feels kind of numb and a little heavy; Left arm feels kind of numb and a little heavy; Fatigue; Was sleeping a lot; Pain from the shot at the injection site; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable consumer (patient, self-reported). A 32-year-old male patient (age at vaccination: 32 year) received second dose of BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTEC COVID-19 mRNA VACCINE, Solution for injection, lot number: EW0217 and expiry date was not reported), via an unspecified route of administration, in Deltoid Left (upper arm), on 03Jun2021, as a single dose for COVID-19 immunization at Pharmacy. The patient's medical history included dysautonomia (he was born with it) and herniated disc. Concomitant medication included acetylsalicylic acid, caffeine, paracetamol (GOODY'S) (powder for headache or something like that, or back pain powder, in the week or 2 before the vaccine. It was like a pain powder that comes in a little pouch instead of actual pill like Tylenol. No further information provided). There was no family medical history relevant to adverse events. Historical vaccine included first dose of BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTEC COVID-19 mRNA VACCINE, Solution for injection, lot number: EW0182 and expiry date was not reported), via an unspecified route of administration, in Deltoid Left (upper arm), on 14May2021, as a single dose for COVID-19 immunization at Pharmacy and no reaction on previous exposure to vaccine. The patient did not receive any vaccine within 4 weeks prior vaccinations, he had never even had the flus shot before. He had never even had the flu either. Investigation assessment was not done. The patient stated he was calling regarding the Pfizer Covid vaccine. He got the second shot 03Jun2021, about 2 weeks ago. The back side of his left leg was completely numb from the whole left butt cheek down to his knee and it has been since he got the second shot. Also, his left arm felt the same, kind of like he has been holding it over his head for a long time, it felt kind of numb, but not really, but kind of heavy. This probably wasn't a common thing, so he wanted to report it. He had some other side effects, but he wanted to give it a little more time to make sure it didn't go away. The patient's left leg numb from the whole left butt cheek down to his knee which started within the next day or 2 and it hadn't gone away. It felt about the same. It felt like it fell asleep, the whole back side area. It was like holding the arm above the head too long where it loses a little blood. It felt kind of cold and stiff and felt a little heavy. It started around the same time as the numbness in the leg, but it may have taken a little bit to notice because he did have the fatigue and was sleeping a lot the first couple days. That might have been why it took a couple of days to really notice what was going on with his arm. It was after the second dose and lasted a couple of days. It has stayed the same. Numbness was 2 inches higher where he has a herniated disc. The patient's had pain from the shot at the injection site on 03Jun2021, which was normal and went away, the heaviness of the arm was still there and was just right at the injection site. It didn't feel any worse than a tetanus shot. It was kind of a longer needle and all, so he expected that to be normal anyway. The soreness went away the second day. The adverse events did not require a visit to emergency room or physician office. No relevant tests were performed. The patient did not receive any treatment. When asked if he had any other concerns, patient stated, not unless Pfizer was going to help with the copay for going to the doctor and clarified that this was not an actual request, says he was joking. Outcome of the event pain from the shot at the injection site was recovered on 04Jun2021 and for the events fatigue and was sleeping a lot it was reported as unknown and for all other events, it was not recovered.  Information on the lot/ batch number has been requested.
