A 59-year-old male patient received BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, Formulation: solution for injection; Lot Number: EN6205; Expiration date: Unknown) via an unspecified route of administration (age at vaccination 59-year) in left arm on 19Mar2021 as dose 1, single for COVID-19 immunization; time the Vaccination was given at 2:40 pm or 3:00 pm. Medical history included none. There were no concomitant medications. On 21Mar2021 the patient experienced running a fever; on 22Mar2021 the patient experienced throwing up and was pooping and the throw up and the poop are black. Prior Vaccinations (within 4 weeks) was reported none. The patient underwent lab tests and procedures which included body temperature: 99.6 degrees fahrenheit on an unspecified date in Mar2021. It was reported that "Caller stated she was calling for her husband who was the patient and had his 1st dose of the Pfizer Vaccine on Friday 19Mar2021; states he did ok and then yesterday he was a little down last night with running a fever; states today the patient was throwing up and is pooping and the throw up and the poop are black; states he was not having diarrhea. Caller stated even his throw up was black and last night the fever began and the fever was ongoing and just took his temperature which was 99.6 degrees Fahrenheit. Caller stated the patient began throwing up and pooping this morning and the throwing up and pooping are ongoing and the same as when they began. Caller stated the patient had not had treatment for the reported events, but she did call his HCP and the HCP prescribed a medication for him that he had not yet taken, and it was an over-the-counter medication that she does not know the name of and had no information to provide at this time. Caller states she was concerned that the throw up and the poop that the patient had were black and he told her the last poop he had was smelly and she does not know if this was a side effect of the Pfizer Vaccine or not, but it concerned her because the throw up and poop are black. Caller agreed to proceed with the report at that time and states she called Pfizer first to ask if that was a side effect of the Pfizer Vaccine but she was thinking of taking the patient to the hospital because he looks pale and she does not know if that was bleeding or could be a sign that blood was coming out and she doesn't know if it was caused by the vaccine or if it just started with something else in the patient. Caller stated there was not an expiry date or NDC on the patient's card for the 1st dose of the Pfizer Vaccine. Caller stated she had heard of side effects she usually hears that with the 2nd dose and not the 1st dose." The clinical outcome of the events "throwing up and is pooping and the throw up and the poop are black" was not resolved, while the outcome of another event was unknown.  No follow-up attempts are possible. No further information is expected.
