A 55-year-old female patient received BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, lot number: EN6205), via an unspecified route of administration, administered in right arm on 13Mar2021 at 14:00 (at 55-year-old) at dose 1, single dose for COVID-19 immunisation.

She's high-risk; COVID-19 vaccine was recommended to her. None family medical history relevant to the events. There were no concomitant medications. The patient previously received flu shot in 1991 (reported as 30 years ago) and experienced that her arm got swollen and red and that the doctor had her come back in to look at her and stated that it looked like she was having an allergy to the egg in the vaccine. No Prior vaccinations within 4 weeks. The patient had no period in months. 2 days after the vaccine on 15Mar2021 she ovulated. She also reported having pre-menstruation symptoms of sore breasts in Mar2021. She was concerned about getting a period, as it made her anemic. Patient reported that she has been experiencing peri-menopause for the last year and hasn't had a period in 10 months. Patient reported that the Covid-19 vaccine has triggered her period and that her hormones were over the top. Patient reported that she was scheduled to get her next dose of the Covid-19 vaccine on 02Apr2021 and because she was having all those hormone experiences, she was unsure how to navigate this next shot. Her doctor was aware of what she was experiencing and that she didn't know what her physician can do. Patient reported that she has not yet had a period, but that it's coming, definitely coming even though she hasn't gotten it yet. Patient reported that if she does have her period she needs to go in to see her physician. Patient reported that while she hasn't had her period yet she has all of the symptoms that her period brings. Patient reported that she hasn't had these symptoms in 10 months. Patient reported that her boobs hurt and that she can't even touch them because they hurt so bad. Patient reported that she has had some weird things and that she was going back and forth with her doctor. Patient reported that she hasn't been to the doctor in a year and a half. Patient reported that she was afraid to go to the doctor and that her doctor was trying to evaluate her symptoms over the phone. Patient reported that she was getting frustrated as she didn't want to get the Covid-19 virus going to the doctor's office. The patient experienced arm hurt really bad on 13Mar2021. Patient reported that immediately after receiving the first dose of the Covid-19 vaccine, her arm hurt really bad. The patient experienced soreness in back on 15Mar2021. Patient reported that the pain from her arm the next day went into her back. Patient reported that she was having back pain for probably a good week after. Patient reported that her back pain has calmed down. Patient reported that she then started having a sensation of not feeling right in Mar2021. Then she was having pre-menopausal things that started probably 3 days after vaccine on 13Mar2021. She still had a sensation in her arm, that every once in a while her arm will ache. Patient reported that she had the pain in her arm for 2 days and that the pain then went into her back in between her shoulder blades. The back pain felt like someone was punching her in the back and she felt most winded. The sensation in her arm was like a dull ache in that spot, the injection site, and that she wanted to rub or put heat on it. Patient reported the soreness in her back was like pressure in her back. It hurt and at times felt numb. It hurt to the point where it felt like it was knocking the wind out of her. It was like the pain from her arm moved to her back. The back pain was not as bad, that it's calmed down a little bit. Her boobs hurt so bad but she didn't know if that's correlated to the Covid-19 vaccine. The breast tenderness started about a week ago, maybe 20Mar2021. The breast pain was ongoing but that it comes and goes. There are times where the breast pain has gotten worse and times where it's gotten better. When she woke in the morning the breast pain was worse. Once she started moving around the breast pain kind of went away but later in evening got really bad. She felt like her body was fighting the hormones to have a period and that she would feel a hundred times better if she got her period. Apparently her physician doesn't want her to get a period. The patient experienced sensation of not feeling right in Mar2021. Patient reported that the sensation of not feeling right started like a week ago, that there was week in between getting the Covid-19 vaccine and when she started experiencing weird things. She has talked to some people that have reported they have not had any side effects following the Covid-19 vaccine. Patient explained that the vaccine has just triggered so much in her, she was just frightened because everybody said the second dose was the worse. Patient reported that her doctor kept saying to give the side effects some time, maybe they'll settle down, but they haven't. All of her symptoms kind of gradually came a few days to a week after receiving the Covid-19 vaccine. The patient experienced skin feels like it's burning in Mar2021. Patient reported that she never felt like she was going to jump out of her skin, but the skin burning was an annoying feeling, like a sunburn. The patient experienced body felt like it's vibrating in Mar2021. Patient reported that she developed this symptom a week to a few days after receiving the Covid-19 vaccine. It was not a constant thing but when she was sitting still she felt it. The patient experienced ache in injection site in Mar2021. Patient reported that her right side, which was the same side that she received the first dose of the Covid-19 vaccine, was the side she was having back pain and that she had more pain in her right breast. Her doctor recommended that she get the second dose in the other side, her left arm. She did not take any medications. Patient reported that she has not had any relevant tests done but that she didn't know if she should or not. She doesn't know if how she is feeling now will impact if she should get the second dose of the Covid-19 vaccine. If she didn't feel a thing, she would go ahead and get that second dose, but because she has so many things going on, she's wondering how it is going to effect her. She was not sure if she should push out the date for the appointment for her second dose of the Covid-19 vaccine. For her, if she pushes out the second dose of the Covid-19 vaccine for a week, it might help her recover from the first dose. She definitely wanted to complete the series of vaccines for Covid-19, but she didn't want to die from this shot either. Patient reported that her second dose of the Covid-19 vaccine was originally scheduled for the 01Apr2021 and that she rescheduled the appointment to hopefully get the second dose Saturday, 03Apr2021. The events did not require a visit to emergency room or physician office. The outcome of events pre-menstruation symptoms of sore breasts, sensation of not feeling right, skin feels like it's burning, ache in injection site, body felt like it's vibrating was not recovered; outcome of event arm hurt really bad was recovered on 15Mar2021; outcome of event soreness in back was recovering. The outcome of the other events was unknown.
