Additional information: Patient had blood test on 17Sep2022 prior to the diarrhea and the doctor said his blood work is almost perfect and he is in good shape. He described himself as being very active and busy, he sees the doctor once a year, he's had EKG's and all tests. He was asking the typical amount of time that the diarrhea would last. He did contact his family physician and made an appointment. His physician told him there is nothing wrong with getting both shots at the same time, his doctor got them at the same time and had no reactions. His doctor told him to take Imodium AD, and change his diet, to only eat solid foods, so he is eating rice and blueberries to help his flora in the stomach but he still has diarrhea, nothing has worked much, the Imodium AD will stop the diarrhea, but as soon as he gets off of it, his diarrhea is back. The first night he got up 7 times to go to the bathroom, then last night it was 3 times, he is 74 and in good shape, with a good heart and good blood pressure, if anything he feels like he is 40, he wishes he could have just caught the flu instead of experiencing this. He is also calling the gastrologist and has an appointment to see them on 03Nov2022, he mentioned that he will probably be dead by then with all this diarrhea. He doesn't know why this happened, but this is going to be his last flu shot, he didn't want to take a chance.  The information on the batch/lot number for BNT162b2, BNT162b2 omi ba.4-5 has been requested and will be submitted if and when received.
