A 72-year-old female patient received the first dose BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, lot number ER8733, expiry date: unknown), via an unspecified route of administration, on 29Mar2021 11:45, as single dose, for COVID-19 immunisation. Medical history included ongoing latex allergy (developed welts where the straps met the skin) diagnosed 20-30 years ago; ongoing dye allergy (developed warm soreness to leg, tightness in the chest, could not breathe) diagnosed many years ago; sulphite allergy (diagnosed about 1975-1980; cannot eat processed foods, bleached foods, frozen pre-made foods; tries to eat only single item foods; last anaphylactic reaction after eating olive oil at a restaurant because it had sulphites in it; Mother was possibly allergic to sulphites; Son also allergic to sulphites); and blood pressure that runs low. The patient previously took epinephrine and experienced epinephrine allergy; ciprofloxacin (CIPRO) and experienced Cipro Allergy (eyes closed, got puffy, couldn't breathe); amoxicillin for abscessed tooth and had a reaction because of the sulphites in it; epinephrine (EPIPEN) and experienced epinephrine allergy (does not use it anymore); plantago ovata (METAMUCIL) which she then found out the orange one had sulphites. Historical vaccine included flu shot for immunization and she experienced 104-degree temperature and was sick as a dog and she went to the emergency room (she had flu shot maybe 3 times). Ongoing concomitant medication included multivitamins. The patient got her first dose of BNT162B2 on 29Mar2021 at 11:45. On the same day, once she got home, she became really, really tired/wiped out tired; was so sleepy; experienced sore arm/her arm started to hurt; was nauseous; had sore throat/throat hurt; eyes half closed/eyes closing and puffy face. On 30Mar2021, the patient experienced elevated pulse/her pulse got too high/pulse was 165 beats per minute/climbed up to 195. Her heart rate was 194 at some point for a couple of minutes then stayed at 165 for a long time. She hoped she wasn't having a heart attack. She had tightness in her chest, wasn't feeling good and was coughing. She stayed in her bed to wait out her symptoms. These lasted for 10 minutes (as reported). She started meditating hoping her heart rate would decrease and it did after about 15-20 minutes. The patient also felt feverish/felt hotter than usual. Before she took the vaccine on 29Mar2021, her temperature was at 96. She stated that her temperature usually runs low as 95-06 degrees. She also felt like her sinuses were congested; was sore; had puffy, bubbled up arms, inflamed. The patient hoped it was not a blood clot she developed. At the time of the report, the patient stated that her heart rate was 61 beats per minute, earlier it was in the 70s; and her temperature was at 96.3. Her second dose is scheduled on 19Apr2021 and mentioned that if these were her reactions with the first dose, she is questioning getting the second dose. The outcome of "blood clot", "hoped she wasn't having a heart attack", "Wasn't feeling well", "Tightness in chest", cough, and sinuses congested was unknown. The patient recovered from "Drenched in sweat/sweating/sweating like a dog in the middle of the night", and "Elevated Pulse/high pulse/pulse was 165 beats per minute/climbed up to 195" on 30Mar2021; and was recovering from "Sore Arm/her arm started to hurt", and "eyes half closed/eyes closing". The outcome of the remaining events was not recovered.  Information on the lot/batch number has been obtained. Additional information is expected.
