A 65-year-old male patient received bnt162b2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 mRNA VACCINE, Formulation: Solution for injection, Batch/Lot Number: ER8736), first dose via an unspecified route of administration, administered in left arm on 03May2021 (at the age of 65-year-old,) as a single dose for Covid-19 immunisation. The patient's medical history, family history and concomitant medications were reported as none. The patient did not experience any adverse event prior Covid vaccination.

On 03May2021, it was reported that 5 min after the vaccine dose around 13:30 to 14:00 in the afternoon the patient's hands fell asleep, and the fire department had to walk him around for a bit. Six or seven days later after Covid vaccination on 09May2021, the patient was dizzy (time unknown), and, in the afternoon, he felt nauseous and experienced diarrhea and flu like symptoms, on the same day in the evening he also had low grade fever. The patient did not visit emergency room for events. The patient did not received treatment for dizzy and flu like symptoms. Therapeutic measures were taken, because of diarrhea he took Imodium (a week before he visited physician office) and Tylenol for low grade fever. Treatment for nauseous was not reported.

The reporter did not specify event seriousness. No product quality complaint was reported. The patient visited the physician office after it was over to get doctors opinion. Everything went away and the patient did not know if it was a reaction or food poisoning and the doctor said it was a reaction to Covid vaccine. The patient reported that he was supposed to get second dose of vaccine and he would like to know that if he should get second dose or not because he recorded an Adverse event with DSU on 24May2021. The reporter also mentioned that since his second dose was on 24May2021 (reported as today), would it screw things up if he did not get the second dose on the date of report 24May2021 (today). The patient states that his provider says that his side effects are from vaccine and he would be putting him on medication for side effects. The patient also queried that would it screw things up if he waits for a week or so before going back to get the second dose. The patient dug through when he got back on 24May2021 (today), he was curious if it is advisable to go back after the reactions. Attempted was made to explain to the patient that we' would not be able to tell him whether or not to go back for his second dose and that we suggest he reach out to primary care provider for more information. The patient wanted to know if it is advisable to get the second dose or hold off and that's his biggest worry. The has a second question, the second dose date is supposed to be on 24May2021 (today) will it screw things up if he waits a week or so before going back to get the second dose.
