Clinical narrative: smelled an antiseptic smell / smells a chemicals all day and night/still persisting; showered and still smelled it/showered and still smelled it\ band-aid smell; Arm has minor soreness; This spontaneous case was reported by a consumer and describes the occurrence of PAROSMIA (smelled an antiseptic smell / smells a chemicals all day and night/still persisting), SKIN ODOUR ABNORMAL (showered and still smelled it/showered and still smelled it\ band-aid smell) and MYALGIA (Arm has minor soreness) in a 52-year-old male patient who received mRNA-1273 (Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine) (batch no. 026A21A) for COVID-19 vaccination.     No Medical History information was reported.    On 09-Mar-2021, the patient received first dose of mRNA-1273 (Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine) (Intramuscular) 1 dosage form. On 09-Mar-2021, the patient experienced PAROSMIA (smelled an antiseptic smell / smells a chemicals all day and night/still persisting) (seriousness criterion medically significant), SKIN ODOUR ABNORMAL (showered and still smelled it/showered and still smelled it\ band-aid smell) (seriousness criterion medically significant) and MYALGIA (Arm has minor soreness) (seriousness criterion medically significant). At the time of the report, PAROSMIA (smelled an antiseptic smell / smells a chemicals all day and night/still persisting) had not resolved and SKIN ODOUR ABNORMAL (showered and still smelled it/showered and still smelled it\ band-aid smell) and MYALGIA (Arm has minor soreness) outcome was unknown.        The action taken with mRNA-1273 (Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine) (Intramuscular) was unknown.       No concomitant medication was reported. The treatment information was unknown.  This patient is going to continue to call Moderna until he gets a call back from the Safety department. Patient is very frustrated and bothered that Moderna has not made more information public even though millions of vaccines have been administered.  He feels he is in a rare side effect group and that this information should be taken more serious.  He has seen a specialist regarding his side effect which has not gone away after his first vaccine over 90 days ago.  He states he "smells a chemical smell all day and night, it started immediately after receiving the vaccine".  This has been the worst experience for this patient and he wishes he never got the vaccine. Patient explains that his doctor said the mRNA has woven itself into the endothelial cells and that's why he is smelling these strange cells".   Follow-up 2: patient reported after receiving the 1st dose of Moderna vaccine. this was the fourth time the call was made. Caller mentioned, that I contacted the HCP as per Moderna advise, and the doctor has no information for the adverse reaction I developed after the vaccination and mentioned, that the mRNA grafted in to patient's olfactory Celia and in to my own DNA. Also mentioned if this adverse reaction of "antiseptic Smell" , persisting more than 60 days time period , then its going to remain with him for ever. So patient is very upset and safety  Company comment: Based on the current available information and temporal association between the use of the product and the start date of the event, a causal relationship cannot be excluded.
