The action taken for methylprednisolone and adalimumab was dosage permanently withdrawn.  The reporter's assessment of the causal relationship of the suspect product Pfizer biontech covid-19 vaccine with the events plantar fasciitis and red knot at the injection site was no reasonable possibility; for events palindromic rheumatism and right shoulder joint pain/pain in shoulder it was reasonable possibility; for the rest of the events it was not reported. Since no determination has been received, the case is managed based on the company causality assessment.  The reporter's assessment of the causal relationship of the suspect product Humira (adalimumab) with the event palindromic rheumatism and right shoulder joint pain/pain in shoulder was a reasonable possibility; for the rest of the events it was no reasonable possibility.   The reporter's assessment of the causal relationship of the suspect product Medrol (methylprednisolone acetate) with the events plantar fasciitis and red knot at the injection site was no reasonable possibility; for events palindromic rheumatism and right shoulder joint pain/pain in shoulder it was reasonable possibility; for the rest of the events it was not reported.   No follow-up attempts are possible; information about lot/batch number cannot be obtained. No further information is expected.; Sender's Comments: The impact of this report on the benefit/risk profile of the Pfizer product is evaluated as part of Pfizer procedures for safety evaluation, including the review and analysis of aggregate data for adverse events.
