On 16Aug2021, the patient received the vaccine booster dose. Following the dose, in Aug2021, he experienced 4 days of chills, he was hot, he also had distortion of his face, almost like a stroke, a protruding chin, his swollen tissue was very hard in his face, protruding lips and swollen bottom lip that went downwards. Patient asked if anyone else reported this side effect and patient read something about bell's palsy. His PA felt, patient had reaction and took Benedryl (as reported) due to the events and it resolved. He wanted to know if others had any similar side effect. The patient stated he watches the news and reads newspapers and never saw this side effect (angioedema) written anywhere. Patient suggested, as a previous marketing guy, Pfizer should let people know this could happen so they aren't concerned and scared. Patient mentioned he had a protruding chin and the tissue was very hard and protruding, his lips blew up and his upper lip twisted downward and one of his cheeks were all puffy and hardened. Patient stated after the Booster Shot, in Aug2021, he was exceptionally bad for 4 days until he found someone to see him. The first few nights he had chills and was hot and from what he read that was fairly normal. Then after about 3 days, he got a distortion of his face, almost like having symptoms of a stroke and he had a protruding chin and the tissue was very hard and protruding, his lips blew up and his upper lip twisted downward and one of his cheeks were all puffy and hardened as well. His doctor told him to go to the hospital but he couldn't get in to the hospital, because the preference in withheld is unvaccinated Covid patients so he was kept in a wheelchair outside and after 2 hours and told his wife they get out of there and he even has full insurance. He got in to a clinic and saw a PA and he was knowledgeable. The PA said it looks like he had a very bad reaction to the vaccine and he took Benadryl and Advil. After that it cleared up and subsided. He just wanted to look into this and went online and some of these were symptoms of Bell's Palsy where people had facial muscular problems of the face abnormalities, and his resembled symptoms of that. He has read or seen on withheld where a lot of physicians, epidemiologists, or cardiovascular doctors but he hasn't heard anyone say anything about this. He wanted to report it. He knew that it reacts to everyone different. Patient asked if there have been any similar symptoms to his. The outcome of the event vaccine booster dose was unknown. The other reported events was recovered on an unspecified date in Aug2021.   The lot number for the vaccine, [BNT162B2], was not provided and will be requested during follow up.
