A 56-year-old female patient received first dose of BNT162B2 (Lot Number: EN6207), via an unspecified route of administration, administered in arm left on 01Apr2021 11:39 as single dose for COVID-19 immunisation. Medical history included ongoing high blood pressure (diagnosed 4 years ago), ongoing high cholesterol (diagnosed 4 years ago), and ongoing asthma (diagnosed 10 years ago; she doesn't get it very often and if she does uses her nebulizer). Concomitant medications included losartan potassium from 2017 and ongoing taken for high blood pressure; lovastatin from 2017 and ongoing; hydrochlorothiazide from 2017 to an unspecified date for high blood pressure. The patient previously received flu vaccine and experienced no adverse effect. The patient experienced sore left arm/arm pain 10 minutes later (01Apr2021 11:49); felt like she was stung by bee, husband had no side effects. The next 2 days she felt fine and took Tylenol for her arm then 04Apr2021 in the morning, she normally drinks coffee and it smelled nasty and she felt like she was eating a nickel everything tasted funny. The patient got the first dose of the vaccine on 01Apr2021 and felt like a little sting the first 3 days, which she thought was normal and didn't have to take Tylenol. On the 4th day, 04Apr2021, she started feeling chills, vomiting, couldn't hold down food, extraordinarily tired and dizzy like she was getting flu symptoms, wanted to puke, couldn't get out of bed, and diarrhea. Today (unspecified date) was the first day she was doing little things. She asked if this is normal and if it could happen 4 days later and how long it will last? She asked if she should take Imodium for the diarrhea? She stopped hydrochlorothiazide for now because she felt dehydrated (04Apr2021) and wanted to keep fluid in her body. Also reported as three to four days later she started feeling nauseous, dizzy, chills and very very tired. She tried to drink water but things were not staying in her. The patient was asking is this a side effect that will go away or has anyone else complained about this? Caller stated it was almost like she had the flu. She didn't want to get out of bed. Her concern was the vomiting and diarrhea. Treatment: Zofran 4mg works for a little bit for nausea; Imodium, Tylenol. The patient clarified she normally gets up early in the morning and then couldn't get up because she was so tired. She took something for her nausea and got to bed and then tries to get up at 11:00a.m. Then of course she had chills and has been running the heater in the house and its 90 degrees outside, but she has had no temperature. Her stomach and chills were concerning to her. The patient stated her mom passed away 09Feb2021 from kidney failure. The doctor started her on Zoloft 50mg once a day, but she only used it for 2 weeks in February because she didn't like way she felt. States it is an antidepressant, but she was put on it because her father passed away then her mom passed 2 months later. She was also prescribed Xanax but she didn't take them either because she didn't like feeling like that. She was started on Wixela for her asthma, 250mg inhale 2 puffs twice daily but she hadn't use. No additional vaccines administered on same date of the Pfizer Suspect. No emergency room or physician office visit.
