Clinical narrative: left arm aching from the site of the injection; aching from back of her arm to the back part of her elbow, then it comes to the far outer part of her forearm down to the wrist and ring finger and pinky finger.; numbness down left arm/partially numb, she has feeling because it's aching; itchy torso from armpits to hips/itchy back and stomach; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable consumer. A 78-year-old female patient received first dose of bnt162b2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE; lot EN6201), intramuscular, administered in left arm on 23Feb2021, 14:00 as single dose for COVID-19 immunisation. Medical history included neuropathy in feet, cholesterol (abnormal), 2 vertebra in her back that are starting to fuse, shrinking as she's getting older, allergic to NSAIDS, she clarifies Advil, Tylenol and the medications reverses on her and gives her a headache, and she gets itchy; was in the hospital for surgery, for lady stuff and needs glasses. She doesn't have a heart problem she doesn't have any other medical issues. She's not diabetic the neuropathy was idiopathic.  Concomitant medications included atorvastatin for cholesterol (abnormal), acetylsalicylic acid (BABY ASPIRIN), and duloxetine hydrochloride (CYMBALTA). The patient previously took morphine and was allergic, and hallucinating as she was told by the nurse, she said there were monkeys on the ceiling and her husband was trying to kill her and gets itchy with morphine. This is the same reaction she had when found out she had the reaction to NSAIDs, for example, she could take Advil or Tylenol for one night but it she took it two nights, that was when she woke up itching all over. She reports no rash, just itch. It just lasted that one night and it was gone. She could take some Advil and get that itchy feeling. On 01Mar2021, the patient experienced left arm aching from the site of the injection back down under the back of her arm to the back part of her elbow, then it comes to the far outer part of her forearm down to the wrist and ring finger and pinky finger; numbness down left arm/it was also partially numb, she has feeling because it's aching and she was describing it as an ache, not sharp just an ache. She can feel it, but its not all there. She knows all this stuff was new to all of us. She's following up and doesn't keep her up at night it's just not normal; and on 24Feb2021, her torso, the night after injection, from her armpits to her hips was itchy. She woke up and she went to the bathroom scratching her back and stomach. Her Covid 19 vaccine card was handwritten she sees 23Feb2021 and that's the date she got the shot. She's been isolating since Feb2020. She was only going out for necessity. She took a risk and had family at her home for Christmas. She hasn't been to church in almost a year, so she was taking this very seriously. Before they even started telling you to wear a mask she was listening to the news in December and January. She states, alright she's isolating, it's the safest thing she can do she's not ready to leave this world yet even knowing she's past her golden years. Her doctor put her on Atorvastatin it because of her age, she had blood drawn but she wasn't given any counts on an unspecified date. Her first thought was she had a chest problem but it's not a heart attack, the ache doesn't go any farther than what she told. It's not stopping her from being productive, from doing things. The events did not require a visit to the emergency room, physician office and was not hospitalized. The patient had no prior vaccinations within 4 weeks and no events following prior vaccinations. Outcome of event itchy torso from armpits to hips/itchy back and stomach was unknown; and outcome of the rest of events was not recovered.
