The reporter is the patient.  A female patient received bnt162b2 (BNT162B2), administration date 27Aug2021 (Batch/Lot number: unknown) as dose 1, single for covid-19 immunisation. The patient's relevant medical history and concomitant medications were not reported. Vaccination history included: Flu shot (flu shot). The following information was reported: PHARYNGEAL HYPOAESTHESIA (non-serious) with onset 27Aug2021, outcome "unknown", described as "Numbness in the back of her throat"; SINUS DISORDER (non-serious) with onset 27Aug2021, outcome "recovered" (2021), described as "Had more drainage down her throat, like a sinus drainage"; HEADACHE (non-serious) with onset 2021, outcome "recovered" (2021), described as "woke with a headache where she would have to take an Advil; It was a dull, achy headache"; FATIGUE (non-serious) with onset 27Aug2021, outcome "recovered" (2021), described as "Felt more fatigued and wiped out / Tired"; CHEST DISCOMFORT (non-serious) with onset 27Aug2021, outcome "recovered" (2021), described as "upper chest and neck area heavy feeling". Therapeutic measures were taken as a result of headache. Additional information: Clinical course: Caller did receive the first dose of the Pfizer Covid vaccine on 27Aug2021. Probably 10 minutes after the dose she did have some numbness in the back of the throat when she swallowed it felt different. Her upper chest and neck area felt, she had a heavy feeling and then it went away after a couple of minutes. Had more drainage down her throat, like a sinus drainage. This continued for probably 5 days after getting the vaccine, about 2 days on the weekend, since she had the shot on a Friday. She felt wiped out and tired about 2 days, more fatigued and wiped out and that went away. 5 days after that she woke up with a headache where she would have to take an Advil and then it would go away. It was a dull, achy headache and she was not feeling the greatest and that was it. Her only concern is she is due for the second dose, the next dose and wanted to wait the 6 weeks and knows that most people who get it say they feel crappy, feeling symptoms of being sick, fever, achy, really fatigued. Her concern is because she is more sensitive to medicines and actually didn't do well with the Flu shot. Was working as a healthcare provider and got out of the field because it was required the last 4 years and she would get it and would never feel good. They say the Flu shot is not compared to Covid so she wants to know if she gets the second dose will she feel worse or does Pfizer recommend to wait longer for the second dose since she is more sensitive.  This follow-up is being submitted to notify that the lot/batch number is not available despite the follow-up attempts made. Follow-up attempts completed. No further information is expected.
