Clinical narrative: tingling; numbness on the right side of her body, like her full right side; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable consumer (patient herself). A 58-year-old female patient received BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE), dose 1 via an unspecified route of administration, administered in arm left on 21Apr2021 10:00 (at the age of 58-year-old) (Lot Number: EW0153; Expiration Date: Jul2021) as dose 1, single for COVID-19 immunisation. Medical history included birth defect spinal stenosis. There were no concomitant medications. On 21Apr2021, the patient experienced numbness on the right side of her body, like her full right side. Clinical course reported: the patient had her first dose of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine last 21Apr2021 and after that, for 3 days (24Apr2021), she experienced numbness on the right side of her body, like her full right side. After 3 days (24Apr2021), it became tingling and lasted for 2-3 days (Apr2021) and because of that, she did not get her second dose (date of supposedly second dose not confirmed) and she was not sure if what she experienced was from the shot or not. She wanted to know if she can still get the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine considering the duration of interval from her first dose, or if it has been too long. She wanted to know if she can still get the second dose of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine after the side effect that she may have experienced with the vaccine. Additional information: she had her first Pfizer shot on 21Apr2021. After for 3 days, she had numbness on the right side. She looked up the side effect. She didn't see anything. She did see Bell's Palsy, but she didn't know if the full right side would be impacted with that. It went away over a week. She was not sure if it was actually the shot or not. She didn't get the second vaccine. She asked if she would now be able to get the second dose or if it was advisable to do due to the side effect. The patient also added she experienced numbness on the right side: it was her complete right side that had numbness. It was like a shot they get at the dentist where the full mouth was numb. The full numbness lasted for 3 days. Then it was tingly for another 2 to 3 days. Vaccine was given in left arm. She had been doing research and this one seemed like the one she was more comfortable with. She has had bloodwork since and everything was normal and ok (unspecified date), but she did not have any bloodwork related to this. The patient had no additional vaccines administered on same date of the Pfizer Suspect. The event numbness on the right side started within 3 hours of receiving the vaccine on 21Apr2021. The patient did not require a visit to emergency room and physician office. The patient had no prior vaccinations (within 4 weeks). No family medical history relevant to events and no relevant tests. The outcome of the event numbness on the right side of her body, like her full right side was recovered on 24Apr2021 and tingling was recovered on an unspecified date in Apr2021.  Follow-up attempts are completed. No further information is expected.
