A 44-year-old female patient received dose 1 of BNT162B2 (Pfizer-BIONTECH COVID-19 Vaccine), via an unspecified route of administration, administered in the left upper deltoid on 26Jul2021 at 17:15 (at the age of 44-years-old) (Batch/Lot Number: FA7484) single, for COVID-19 immunization. Medical history included IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) and stomach acid (hyperchlorhydria). The patient did not take any other vaccine/s four weeks prior to the first dose of the COVID vaccine. Concomitant medication included omeprazole taken for stomach acid, start and stop date were not reported. The patient experienced arthralgia, myalgia, pain, pharyngeal swelling, peripheral swelling, hypoaesthesia, paraesthesia, and dysgeusia on 26Jul2021 at 17:20; and dysstasia, joint range of motion decreased, feeling abnormal, feeling cold, hypersensitivity, nausea, malaise, and fear of death on 26Jul2021. The course of the events was as follows: The patient received the Pfizer shot for the first time on 26Jul2021 (reported as yesterday) at 5:15. She stated that she still had a metal taste in her mouth. From her elbows down to her fingers she felt like her funny bone was hit and everything was frozen either like frozen with the Pfizer procedure; it was constantly numb and tingling. She was like, "what is the 'ruling of conduct'?". The patient got very, very nauseous after her shot because she did not eat anything prior to the shot. She was asking what should she do. She was so sick and she cannot stand on her feet as long as it hurt. The patient inquired if she should go to the emergency room, she didn't want to make like a big situation out of it but she didn't know what to do. The patient further started that she had a major allergic reaction to the first shot. When asked for a follow-up, she said yes because she was scared to die. She already took 3 Benadryl and her chest was flowing and [unclear word]. She still cannot feel anything but metal in her mouth. She also had been taking Extra Strength Tylenol (treatment) since her injection because it hurt really very bad, it's so this far. When asked for the anatomical location of administration, the patient stated that it was in the left and she did it in her upper deltoid, so high up in her deltoid that she cannot even move her arm (almost in her shoulder), upper deltoid and her shoulder that's why it was in so much pain. The patient stated that she took Benadryl, she called urgent care and she told them she was having an allergic reactions. She thought the lady said to just take Benadryl that might help with her problems. She said no she was not sure if it was going to help with the problems but she had like her throat was swollen, her feet were swollen, and her hands were numb. She said to take Benadryl for precaution and Extra Strength Tylenol. When asked for any other help, the patient asked for the meantime if she should go to the hospital, stay at home, or take her Benadryl. On 28Jul2021, the patient further reported that it literally was two minutes (as reported) after she got the shot that her mouth tasted like she was "stucking" on nickels, like metals, and now for the past two days (asked if it ever hit your funny bone), it felt like she constantly hit her funny bone from the elbow to her finger tips. It was constantly numb and tingling and from her elbow to her shoulder it's just serious pain. Her feet were so swollen, her throat was so swollen like this was serious. She took Benadryl in case she was going to have like an anaphylactic reaction to it. According to her, the same day she got the shot, within minutes later, she started experiencing the side effects (reported as at 5:20 PM). When asked for the date of the second shot, the patient stated she believe they scheduled her but she doesn't think she was gonna get the second shot because she felt like such a mess right now that she really didn't trust to get the second shot. However, they did schedule her on 16Aug2021 at 5 o'clock. When asked for the lot number of the COVID-19 vaccine, the patient stated it was her first dose, and the lot number was FA748, but she thinks that the 4 could be a 4, an L, or a slash. FA748 she thinks that's a 4 but she was not 100% sure. Outcome of the events was not recovered.  Follow-up attempts are completed. No further information is expected.
