On an unknown date, the patient experienced MACULAR DEGENERATION (right eye they may be the start of macular degeneration) (seriousness criterion medically significant). The patient was treated with MACROGOL 400, PROPYLENE GLYCOL (SYSTANE) for Dry eye, at an unspecified dose and frequency and VITAMINS NOS for Adverse event, at an unspecified dose and frequency. In March 2021, PERIPHERAL SWELLING (arm was very swollen) had resolved. At the time of the report, MACULAR DEGENERATION (right eye they may be the start of macular degeneration), SKIN EXFOLIATION (skin was peeling off, like sheets of skin peeling , worse than a sunburn.), PRURITUS (right arm was itching like crazy) and ERYTHEMA (right arm was very red) outcome was unknown and VISUAL IMPAIRMENT (vision was crazy/cannot see properly /issues with their eyes/not able to read) and VISION BLURRED (letters are shrunken and the edges are fussy and blurred) had not resolved.

Patient thinks their PCP was useless and patient was not comfortable giving information not about themselves. Company Comment: This case concerns an 82-year-old, female patient with a history of Blood cholesterol increased, who experienced the unexpected non-serious events of visual impairment and Vision blurred approximately 2-3 weeks after the second dose of mRNA-1273 vaccine. She visited the ophthalmologist, with a possible diagnosis of the unexpected serious event of Macular degeneration (reported as: may be the start of macular degeneration). Patient´s age and Blood cholesterol increased remain as confounders. The benefit-risk relationship of mRNA-1273 vaccine is not affected by this report.
