Clinical narrative: arm is sore.; she could swallow-that would have been the progression; numbness of her lips; her eyes "are weird"/little numbness around the eyes; This is a spontaneous report from a Contactable Consumer.   A 74-years-old female patient received second dose of BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 mRNA VACCINE, Formulation: Solution for Injection, Batch/Lot number: EL9265), via an unspecified route of administration, administered in Arm Right on 24Feb2021 at 11:55 as dose 2, single for covid-19 immunisation at convention center. The patient's medical history included ongoing urticaria a reaction of "severe hives" to a cold pill 38 years ago, ongoing seasonal allergy and chronic high blood pressure, the reporter stated that nothing new, just chronic like high blood pressure, same thing as before the first dose of Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine which she declined to provide further information regarding. She mentioned separately that her height was shrinking, and her weight was expanding. The patient's concomitant medications were not reported. The patient previously received Flu shot and MMR vaccine and had sore arm. The patient previously received first dose of the BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 mRNA VACCINE, Formulation: Solution for Injection, Batch/Lot number: EL8982), via an unspecified route of administration, on an unspecified date as dose 1, single for covid-19 immunisation. It was reported that, 11 minutes after the second dose (on 24Feb2021 at 12:06), the patient developed numbness of lips that has not resolved since. She also reported that her eyes "were weird" and that her arm was sore. She was monitored for 30 minutes at the vaccination site and was able to maintain her airway and ability to swallow. She asked for information about these events relative to the Pfizer COVID-19 Vaccine, if this had been reported before. Lips went numb and a little numbness around the eyes she described as an unusual reaction that frightened her. She was not frightened that the events may get worse any longer. She searched the internet and called the CDC who searched for information about these events but they did not find anything. She reported there was nothing really written about these events. She did not experience these events with the first dose of Pfizer COVID-19 Vaccine. She initially mentioned that there were other events she experienced, but when queried for clarification she reported all of the other things are known and not worth reporting, she does not care that her arm was sore because she knew it might be; She reported that she took Benadryl in response to lips went numb and a little numbness around the eyes about 2 hours after onset of those events. The events did not get worse, she could swallow-that would have been the progression of this which was what she was fearful of. She took several Benadryl yesterday and some today. She stated she was worried about having the same reaction, or worse, if a 3rd dose was needed? Mentioned Pfizer looking into another vaccine or dose to prevent infection with Sars-Cov-2 variants. At the time of this report sore in arm and swallowing impaired were unknown and other event outcome was not recovered.   No follow-up attempts are possible. No further information is expected.
