After her second dose, two days after, she no longer requires her asthma inhaler. Her stepson, who was a pharmacist, said that she should report this positive side effect because it is so unusual. This started two days after she had the second dose on 29Apr2021, confirmed date this event began as 01May2021. Her as needed was not needed anymore and it was an awfully nice, unexpected side effect. She started out with childhood asthma and for the last several decades she has had to take 2 puffs 4 times a day of albuterol. Probed for NDC, lot number and expiry date for her COVID vaccine and she declined to provide that and states that it all ties back into her declining to provide her date of birth and all of that, she gets uncomfortable with providing privacy things. Therapy start date populated as the date for the callers first COVID vaccine and the therapy stop date populated as the date for the callers second COVID vaccine. Her stepson who was a pharmacist said that was the one to get and to just go ahead and do it so that was her reasoning. You have got to have someone you trust in the system, she says. History/ Investigations: No, she cannot think of anything else. She takes almost no medication and definitely no medications that would be anything new.
