Additional information: It was reported that immediately after receiving the vaccine on each dose, the patient experienced a little lightheadedness. It was not as bad following the second dose and that it has completely resolved. The patient experienced tiredness on the first day following both doses of the Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine and reported that it has completely resolved. It was reported that pain at site of chronic back / spine problem began about 6 hours after the injection after both doses (as reported) and went away between the first and second dose and came back with a vengeance after the second dose. It was further reported that around midnight on 20Mar2021, the pain in his back came back. The back pain lasted about 2.5 days then stopped. The patient has minor spine problems but the pain he experienced was very painful. Patient stated that the pain has improved. The pain at the site of his chronic back/spine problem is more of a joint pain now in his left hip whereas previously it was more of a muscle pain (in dose 1). It was reported that something was still there but he was going to see his chiropractor and that he hasn't spoken to his spine doctor and hopefully will get a pain injection. It was further reported that the patient didn't have much pain in his arm but when he pushes on the injection site he can tell, but it did not really sore much at all. No follow-up attempts are possible. No further information is expected.
