A 67-years-old female patient received BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, formulation solution for injection) via an unspecified route of administration, administered in Arm Left on 16Mar2021 at 12:06 (Batch/Lot Number: EN6205; Expiration Date: 20Jun2021) as dose 1, single for covid-19 immunization (at the age of 67-years-old). Medical history included breast cancer, lymph nodes removed from right arm from an unknown date and unknown if ongoing and covid-19 virus in Aug2020 to an unknown date. Concomitant medication(s) included Vitamin D3 and cetirizine hydrochloride (ZYRTEC [CETIRIZINE HYDROCHLORIDE]) both were taken for an unspecified indication, start and stop date were not reported. The patient previously received flu vaccine and had no problems. But 10 days after her pneumonia vaccine her left arm swelled up, her arm started itching and she wasn't scratching it. Her arm was warm and had a knot. She went to the bathroom to look at her arm and the injection site was as big as a saucer and red and swollen and puffy. She didn't have a fever though. She called the  pharmacy where she got the pneumonia vaccine and spoke to the pharmacist about it and the pharmacist told her it was unusual to have a reaction 10 days after the pneumonia vaccine. It was reported that patient had her first Covid 19 vaccine on 16Mar2021 and for the following 3 days after receiving the vaccine from 17Mar2021 she had a fever of 99.8 F and she ached/ normally aches all over when she has a fever, her bones ached, her joints ached, she was dizzy and off balance, and she had that fever for 3 days. She reported that she did have the Covid 19 virus in Aug2020 and may be 6-8 weeks ago she went to her local store and she could test her blood for Covid 19 antibodies. She still had some Covid 19 antibodies and maybe that was why she had a reaction when she received the Covid 19 vaccine. That she already had some Covid 19 antibodies and when she got the vaccine it overwhelmed her body. She mentioned that She goes tomorrow on 06Apr2021 to have her second Covid 19 vaccine and she was not feeling well. She was in the middle of Tennessee and the pollen was so high. She was been pulling weeds and she had a runny nose. She has plenty of Tylenol and she hasn't taken anything, any medications for her symptoms and she didn't take any medications before getting her first Covid 19 vaccine. She was asking should she do anything differently before getting her second Covid 19 vaccine. She reports some doctors are still telling people not to get the Covid 19 vaccine. She thought her runny nose was related to the pollen and not the Covid 19 vaccine. She has been doing yard work and getting leaves away from her house, so bugs don't get into the bottom windows of her house and that's what made her nose runny and on an unspecified date in 2021 her eyes itchy. She reports she gets a runny nose and itchy eyes every year. She also has poison ivy on an unspecified date in 2021 and she stated that the poison ivy was not related to the Covid 19 vaccine. She reports the facility where she received her Covid 19 vaccine made her mad. It was at a church and she pulled under the shelter and then they had a tent that was accepting vehicles. And the attendant said them that they have to give the Covid 19 vaccine now because it's getting ready to expire. The reporter stated that getting that Covid 19 vaccine hurt her arm to her bones. Her husband never felt his Covid 19 vaccine. Clarified the Covid 19 vaccine hurt the caller's arm. The caller reports she saw on TV that the places giving the Covid 19 vaccine were using small needles and now they are using welfare needles, bigger needles and it made her arm hurt. Her arm hurt all through her fever. She could tell her arm hurt especially when she was getting out of bed, her arm really hurt. And she normally aches all over when she has a fever. She reports even if she had a fever without getting the Covid 19 vaccine she would still have aches all over. Her symptoms only lasted about 3 days. She would say by 20Mar2021 she was better except for the dizziness. She still had a little dizziness. She took the Covid 19 vaccine for protection. She's the shopper at her house for things and she hasn't stopped shopping. She reported that in the morning of her Covid 19 vaccine she didn't take any of her medications. She didn't take her vitamin D3 or her Zyrtec or anything. She reports she takes a boatload of medicines but doesn't think her medications are relevant. She got her Covid 19 vaccine in her left arm because she didn't want to start any trouble with her right arm. She was also right-handed. She was going to get her second Covid 19 vaccine whether or not she gets sick. The adverse events did not resulted into emergency room or physician office visit.
