This spontaneous case was reported by a consumer (subsequently medically confirmed) and describes the occurrence of APPENDICITIS (Appendicitis) and ARTHRALGIA (Joint pain/every major joint was hurting, bith sides ankles, knees, hips, tail bone, elbow and base of my neck) in a 52-year-old female patient who received mRNA-1273 (Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine) (batch nos. 039K20A and 23M20A) for COVID-19 vaccination.     The patient's past medical history included Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS with Constipation.) since 22-Aug-1968, Undifferentiated connective tissue disease since 05-Jan-2015 and Arthritis. Concurrent medical conditions included Drug allergy (Ibuprofen, Magnesium sulfate Allergy) and Thalassemia since 22-Aug-1968. Concomitant products included APREMILAST (OTEZLA) from 13-Apr-2021 to an unknown date for Arthritis, HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE SULFATE (PLAQUENIL [HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE SULFATE]) from 04-Jan-2015 to an unknown date for Autoimmune disorder.   On 04-Feb-2021, the patient received first dose of mRNA-1273 (Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine) (unknown route) 1 dosage form. On 04-Mar-2021, received second dose of mRNA-1273 (Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine) (unknown route) dosage was changed to 1 dosage form. On 08-Mar-2021, the patient experienced APPENDICITIS (Appendicitis) (seriousness criteria hospitalization and medically significant). On 05-Apr-2021, the patient experienced ARTHRALGIA (Joint pain/every major joint was hurting, bith sides ankles, knees, hips, tail bone, elbow and base of my neck) (seriousness criterion hospitalization).

Most recent FOLLOW-UP information incorporated above includes: On 17-Apr-2021: Follow-up information included patient demographics, dose details, concomitant medications, historical conditions, event outcome, new event.; Sender's Comments: Although a temporal association exists, based on the current available information, mechanism of action of mRNA-1237 vaccine and the pathogenesis process of appendicitis, the event of appendicitis is assessed as unlikely related. The causality for the event of arthralgia is assessed as likely related.
