Clinical narrative: had only a sore arm; muscles were sore.; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable physician (patient, psychologist, work as a healthcare provider in a prison system). A 69-year-old male patient received a single dose of BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE) (Lot number reported as: E316, either 05 or 85) via an unspecified route of administration on 21Dec2020 (between 13:15 and 13:30) in the right arm for COVID-19 immunization. Medical history included flu, not recently, several weeks ago. Concomitant medications were reported as none. The patient had only a sore arm on 21Dec2020 as a side effect.  The patient also reported muscles were sore on 21Dec2020. The outcome of the events was unknown.  Caller stated he wanted to check and make sure he wasn't supposed to have side effects. He had seen on TV people complaining of chills, fever and headache. As he was looking at the document he was given, he may have called the wrong number for the question to ask: he was lucky enough as a healthcare professional to be administered his first shot of Pfizer's COVID vaccine, and with the exception of where the site where it was injected, his right arm being a little sore, like with any shot, he had not experienced side effects, like headaches or nothing, and today he noticed he didn't get a check in, he got texts. But his question was: if he didn't feel side effects, did it mean the vaccine was not necessarily taking, if no side effects, did it mean it will not be effective? Stated it was just minor, like any other shot. He did not mind participating in this study, for information, since Pfizer may be counting soreness in the arm, but he did not perceive this as a problem. He got the vaccine on Monday 21Dec2020, between 13:15 and 13:30, and then it was just like, he had a flu shot, not recently, several weeks ago, and to the same point. No further details provided. Like within a couple, three hours, it started, and it was difficult to sleep on it, just sore, no redness/inflammation, he could not tell where the skin was punctured, just his muscles were sore. He called the number on the sheet, he was just real curious, he did not feel bad, like he hears on TV, and he knew personally people who got symptoms and he no symptoms, that he can ascertain. No further details provided. His appointment was 1:15, it may have been in his arm at 13:25, or 13:30 or something, he went and sat for his 15 minute wait time, at 1:30, so it was between 13:15 and 13:30. Outcome reported as it was OK during the daytime, but to sleep on that side, it can feel sore, and he turned to the other side, it did not keep him from typing, lifting, writing, working, emptying the dishwasher. He had a registration code, was given a card. Read from his vaccination card: provided date of vaccination 21Dec2020, vaccine name Pfizer COVID 19, stated lot was written in ink, looked like it was E316, stated he can't read, it was smeared, but then said next dose is 11Jan2021. States it was E316, either 05 or 85. He didn't have the sore arm before he got it, and it is going away now, or it would go away.   Information on the lot/batch number has been requested.
