A 70-year-old female patient received BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE), via an unspecified route of administration, administered in left upper arm on 26Feb2021 11:00 (Batch/Lot Number: EN6200) as 1ST DOSE, SINGLE for covid-19 immunisation.

She provided only the birth year, 1951, and said within the first six months. She stated that her weight can fluctuate from 120 pounds to a pound up or a pound or three down. Patient had a runny nose since about a week after the first dose of the vaccine (05Mar2021). She was reluctant to get the second dose because she continued to have a runny nose, almost every day, all day long, sometimes it's worse, sometimes it's better. Her friend was visiting and said that he too has had a runny nose, and he thought it was from wearing a mask, but she didn't wear a mask, but she didn't wear a mask, well she only wear them when she goes out and she's not out that much. When asking for clarification the caller states that the runny nose has been happening for weeks. The runny nose comes and goes. Sometimes she thinks it's getting better and then it got worse again. It's not like a side cold, she always has a little sniffle. It hadn't been bothering her the last couple hours and now it's started to well up and she's thinking what is this about. It started about a week after the first shot and definitely after the second shot. The runny nose was sometimes accompanied with ear ache and sore throat both of which continue to come and go. She didn't know when the ear ache and sore throat started. They come and go quickly, and had happened maybe half a dozen times or more. Her husband would say it's just a cold and maybe it was. She had been treating the symptoms with Elderberry and Zinc lozenges. The caller remarks that she gets a lot of inflammation, described as arthritic inflammation and this inflammation was worsened after the first vaccine on 26Feb2021. She states that this response happened about 4-5 hours later. She also complained of headache, and other symptoms and when asked to repeat the other symptoms she clarified as inflammation in whole body. The caller also reported that something new happened, she had fibrin buildup in her hands on 26Feb2021, she watched it grow on her hands, it was like a science fiction movie; that was still there. She's had fibrin before but never watched it happen. The buildup was itchy and she describes it as an inflammatory response. The fibrin buildup began that night after first dose of the vaccine on 26Feb2021. This started Friday night. The fibrin and inflammation are still there, the only way it will go away was to have it cut out. That was how her body reacts. The caller did report that she had some breathing issues after the first vaccine and was told that it wasn't anaphylaxis, it was probably swelling of the throat, but it didn't last. After the first vaccine she also had SVT in her heart, that night when she was having the inflammation, she remarks that she could feel her heart doing somersaults. The SVT began on the evening of the first vaccine (26Feb2021) and into the next day and into Sunday late afternoon. That was weird, she thought she was doing to die, she was not able to breathe, she was miserable, she thought to sleep it off, she was trying to get away from the headache, it was her whole head. All events did not require a visit to Emergency Room or Physician Office. At the time of this report, the outcome of Runny nose was not recovered, of other events were unknown.; Sender's Comments: Linked Report(s) : US-PFIZER INC-2021569236 same patient, different drug dose/event.
