Clinical narrative: left him a bump/ large lump on his right shoulder where he got the injection; This is a spontaneous report received from contactable reporter(s) (Consumer or other non-HCP) from medical information team. The reporter is the patient. A 58-year-old male patient received BNT162b2 (BNT162B2), on 24Mar2021 as dose 1, single (Batch/Lot number: unknown) at the age of 58 years, in right arm for covid-19 immunisation. The patient's relevant medical history and concomitant medications were not reported. The following information was reported: VACCINATION SITE MASS (non-serious) with onset 24Mar2021, outcome "unknown", described as "left him a bump/ large lump on his right shoulder where he got the injection". The event "left him a bump/ large lump on his right shoulder where he got the injection" required physician office visit.  Additional information Reporter said he got all his Pfizer Covid vaccine shots already. First dose was last year of 24Mar2021, and the second booster dose was just done last Friday. He said he didn't experience any side effect from his 2nd primary dose, 1st, and 2nd booster doses but his 1st primary dose left him a bump on his right shoulder where he got the injection, resulting in a large lump adjacent to the injection site. The lump occurred the day of injection.  He said it is almost as big as a softball and the  texture is alike as well but doesn't hurt this has persisted since then. Reporter said he already went to his HCP and was referred to a sports doctor and also advised to get CAT scan, he refused as it is expensive. He wanted to know if there has been reports of this side effect happening to others as well. He inquired about the lump and was told it should subside in a couple of weeks. It didn't. After months of the lump not subsiding, my primary care physician had no answer and referred me to a specialist, also no answer. It's now 10Apr2022, and he is still having the lump. I can't afford to go from doctor to doctor due to a high deductible insurance policy. He thinks the initial report was done when he first got the Pfizer Covid Shot like that day or the next day, thinks his wife reported it; and then he sent an email he thinks 11Apr2022 to this department, which is what the reference number he provided is from. This is relative to when he got the first Pfizer Covid Shot on what he thinks was 24Mar2021 he got a bump on his right side by his shoulder. The bump is kind of a big one, it does not hurt, he can still move around like normally could, it's just there. They also reported it to the place that he got the Pfizer Covid Shot from and then something else. He was seen by the doctor who told him to go to a specialist; so, he went to the specialist but all they do is google lump or bump on arm and said don't worry, it will go away in a couple of weeks; so, they didn't really have an answer for him. The bump is still there. It might be just a teeny bit better but is basically the same as at time of onset. He asked for information about this event relative to Pfizer Covid Shot.  The information on the batch/lot number for BNT162b2 has been requested and will be submitted if and when received.
