Additional information: Caller has vertigo from 1st dose on 20Jan2021, a pecuilarness, nausea and dizziness. Caller stated the symptoms started as uneasy and has progressed to swimmy headedness and I am  nauseous. Doctors didn't do anything to help they just send you to someone else. He just had to get his equilibrium back. He thought that was just a movie. When he took the shot on 20 Jan 2021, soon thereafter, not that day but maybe next, he felt peculiar. It was just uneasiness and he did not feel right. That went on and on 09 Feb 2021, he got second shot and he got swimmy headed, but it has continued on since then and probably gotten worse, especially when he gets up in the morning. He has to hold on until he gets balanced or coordinated. He later stated the peculiar feeling and swimmy headedness started the same day as the first injection, but he just did not really pay attention to it and thought it was just one of those things that you accept with getting older. Wife and he both went, and he thought his feelings were merely from excitement or depletion or exhaustion. He felt like he had weakness and he just felt different. He got it at noon and waited for 15 minutes. Because of the events around him at the time, it did not register with him because it was the stress of driving 30 miles through expressway. Old people aren't used to driving that far. It got worse after the second shot and then he really knew something was wrong. When you are old, you have these feelings and pains and aches and all that stuff, and you just accept it as being old. It did not register with him until a couple of weeks ago when he heard it on TV about Vertigo and he said that is what he has. The swimmy headedness was really more noticeable after second shot, it brought it on stronger. He does not complain about things and thought it may just be getting old. He said it just kept on and getting a little worse and worse. Then he said something is not right and one day he bent over to look up and almost blacked out because of sensation in equilibrium or vision or whatever. He got scared and that was a couple of weeks ago. He still was not cognizant of what was going on until he heard on television about Vertigo. He confirmed it was regarding someone who had gotten Vertigo after getting the vaccine but did not have a particular person to report on. He did not feel anything and it was the easiest shot he ever had both times. 2nd dose Pfizer COVID vaccine given on 09 Feb 2021 with Lot EM9810 expiration unknown. Injected in left arm and unable to confirm if given in the muscle. He would not have known he even got it and had to ask them because he did not feel it. It was so easy, he did not even know he got it. He has had flu shots with more aches than that. He did not have a Manufacturer, lot or expiration for the flue shot. He and wife had already been quarantined for 3-4 months and was using wipes and masks and fussing at people who did not. He did not even get a haircut because he did not want to get out. He does not take any other medications in his life other than medication for his prostate. He has been taking for years and years.  No follow-up attempts are possible. No further information is expected.
