Clinical course: Reporter's elderly father last year had some serious side-effects after he received his Pfizer COVID shot (Pfizer COVID-19 Vaccine) and Sanofi Flu-shot (Flu Zone). He got them both at the same time which he had done the previous two years had gotten his COVID and Flu-shots at the same time with no problems at all but this past fall on 06Oct2024, he got his COVID and Flu-Shots at the same time and that night, he was a just briefly a little more agitated than usual. He started having other side effects of following, reporter believed they were side-effects from the vaccines, the following day, later that week, he was hospitalized. He ended up having to go to rehab the physical therapy and he finally came home but he never recovered. He got the shots on 06Oct2024, and he passed away on 25Nov2024 and the reason. The patient had been on antibiotics (Unspecified Medication), recently, before he got the shots. The patient basically gradually went down hill, he had moments where he would have a good day with physical therapy and stuff and he would have bad day. The reporter was his caregiver at home. Reporter felt it was related to the two shots that he received. Possibly, he had finished two weeks of antibiotics then waited a couple of days, and reporter took him to get the shot, which reporter was told by his doctor's office would be okay and he started having problems. He gradually became so weak between Oct2024. The weakness probably started over night from 06Oct2024 to 07Oct2024 and he got gradually weaker and early in the morning on 10Oct2024, he was too weak to stand up from his chair. He just continued to decline. The patient was discharged from the hospital on 17Oct2024 to a skilled nursing facility. So, he could get rehab. He was too weak to come home for reporter to take care of him. On 17Oct2024, he was discharged to a skilled nursing facility and he was there until 05Nov2024. When he was in the hospital for a week, they ran various tests, the treatments they give at the hospital and also at the rehab. He got gradually weaker and weaker between 06Oct2024 and early morning of 10Oct2024, when he was so weak. He was unable to hold his urine in until he got on the toilet at times. When he would drink liquids, a lot of it would end up on his shirt because he was getting so weak. But before he was hospitalized one of the side-effects he had a couple of episodes, couple of episodes of diarrhea. His appetite was decreasing. He was sleeping a lot. He had some fatigue. Reporter noticed he was more hunched over when he walked because reporter would walk with him. He was not standing up straight, when he would walk and stand. Reporter had to call an ambulance to take him to the emergency room. They found he was low in potassium. They thought he might have an infection but then they thought he did not have it and then they thought maybe he did have it. It was never definitively diagnosed. Reporter thought the weakness was caused by Vaccine side, it was a vaccine side effects, of the vaccines. Patient received vaccines on 06Oct2024 and in the next few days started to decline. On 10Oct2024 he had to go to the Emergency Room by ambulance and was in the hospital for a week. Reporter's father he kind of like hit a tipping point with the vaccines. He was stable. He had just had a 2 week course of antibiotics for H-pylori which was not bothering him. He had an isolated incident of diarrhea and found out he had H-pylori. He was stable at the doctor's office and the doctor said after he completed the antibiotic he could get the Covid and Flu Shot. So he did, then afterwards it all went down hill from there. He was having problem after problem. She thinks the vaccines triggered that decline. He was hospitalized for a week, was in a skilled nursing facility for 3 weeks, went home and never fully recovered.; Reported Cause(s) of Death: Unknown cause of death
