A 60-year-old male patient received BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE; lot number: EN6206), via an unspecified route of administration in the upper left arm on 26Feb2021 (at the age of 60-year-old), dose 1, single for COVID-19 immunisation. Medical history included HIV, asthma, colon inflammation, and allergies.

The patient received unspecified for medication for colon inflammation which commonly called as yogurt (not specified).

The patient stated that he decided between his doctor and pharmacist to take the COVID-19 vaccine and he received the vaccination on 26Feb2021. Probably, less than 24 hours, the patient started to get reactions, but it did not look like initially that it was probably a reaction to the vaccine. Part of his concern was of the fact that, he had bad reactions with both shingles vaccine (unspecified vaccine) and pneumocystis vaccine (unspecified vaccine) and he had it for like five days. The patient had reactions and the doctor would not do anything and when he went to the pharmacy, the doctor gave him an antihistamine (treatment) for ten days and that squelched everything and after both those incidents, the patient was advised do not take COVID-19 vaccine. The patient started experiencing reactions like after 12 to 15 hours like late Friday night. The patient further stated, he did not sleep very well from 26Feb2021 night to 27Feb2021 morning, he kept getting up and had trouble going back to sleep which was not normal for him. The patient was one of those people that could drink a strong cup of coffee and twenty minutes later lay down and go back to sleep. The first thing the patient have noticed was not being able to sleep because he had a pain shooting down his left arm and felt like somebody was trying to dislocate his index finger. Then later on, throughout the day, on 27Feb2021, he just kept experiencing fatigue. The patient was trying to do laundry, he live in an apartment and he was going down one floor to do laundry and it took him over eight hours to do his laundry and when he reach his house he would just fall asleep. The patient was all out from everything. The patient had headaches that was coming and going and at one point he felt like a hot flash. The patient took his temperature and the temperature was on the normal range and then all of a sudden, he started sweating and had a fever and pricking sensation kind of like small shivers and along with that he was having achy joints and achy muscles. The patient had basically, aches from his head till my toes, even my toes, it just hurt to move down. The patient further stated, the only thing from his experience from his 60 years of life, he could relate it to like he was stuck somewhere in between of feeling like he was getting in sick and getting over of getting sick. On top of that, he started that on 27Feb2021 night and 28Feb2021 morning he was experiencing dizziness, that was when he was getting up on his bed or out of the chair and he was still feeling weak like barely able to walk because he was walking through his building to get his laundry and there were two people who said he did not look good.
