A 62-year-old non-pregnant female patient received BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE), first dose via an unspecified route of administration, administered in the right arm on 16Apr2021 11:15 (Batch/Lot Number: EW0162) as single dose (at the age of 62-years-old) for COVID-19 immunisation. Medical history included anaphylaxis: carries an epi pen, and has allergies to wasps. The patient also took unspecified dietary supplements. The patient had no other vaccine in four weeks.  The patient got her first vaccine dose on 16Apr2021 and reported having a history of anaphylaxis and carried an epi pen. She stayed at the vaccination facility for an hour and a half and she got facial palsy and her vision in her right eye got fuzzy. Then her face got numb on the right side. It took 4 hours for it to go away but by dinner she felt ok. She added that immediately after the shot (16Apr2021), she experienced hot electrical nerve zinging entire right arm, right shoulder blade and right calf that lasted 30 minutes; blurry vision right eye started 15 minutes after shot, recurred off and on for 6 hours; facial palsy on right side that started about 30 minutes after shot that lasted 4 1/2 hours; vertigo/dizziness that started 7 hours after the shot; and blood pressure (BP) was usually 110/70 however 8 hours after shot BP was 145/85. She filed a report online when her symptoms began to subside. A couple hours later, she began to feel sick again and went to bed. When she walked to her mailbox, she was feeling ok but when she bent over to get the mail, that made it all worse. She woke up feeling as if she had a hangover and reported vomiting right away after getting out of bed. She had really bad vertigo and dizziness. She also had a sore arm (unspecified which arm) and stated that she was "experiencing everything on the freaking list." The patient wanted to know if this was normal and asked if she should get the second dose. She was advised that if she had a severe allergic reaction after a previous dose of the vaccine, she should not get the Pfizer-BioNTech Covid-19 vaccine. She also wanted to know if her symptoms got worse over the weekend and wanted to know what were the signs if she should go to the hospital. The patient did not receive any treatment for the adverse effects. The patient did not have COVID prior to vaccination and was not COVID tested post vaccination. The patient recovered from hot electrical nerve zinging entire right arm, right shoulder blade and right calf 16Apr2021 11:45; face got numb on the right side on 16Apr2021 15:15 and facial palsy on 16Apr2021 16:15.
