The events progressively got worse and ended up going to the Emergency Room on Saturday. At the Emergency Room, the doctor didn't see pneumonia but has since progressed to pneumonia. The Prevnar 20 vaccine gave the patient pneumonia. The reporter took her mother to the emergency room and then waited till Monday and was not able to see the doctor so she saw the other doctor. Before she took her mother to the emergency room, the caller did a home COVID test on her mother and was negative. She doesn't take her mother anywhere. The doctor thought this might be COVID so wanted an official COVID test which was done on Monday with results yesterday prior to her chest x-ray. The reporter was concerned for aspiration pneumonia but wouldn't cause cold symptoms or sneezing and runny nose or stop her from standing that night.  The information on the batch/lot number for pneumococcal 20-val conj vac (dipht CRM197 protein) has been requested and will be submitted if and when received.
