Company Comment  This is a Spontaneous case concerning a 80-year-old female patient with no relevant medical history reported, who experienced the serious (per medically significant) unexpected events of Sinusitis (Severe sinus infection with green mucous and some came out of the ear) Nerve injury and Deafness bilateral (Hearing loss in the left ear/ hearing loss in the right ear as well but not like the left) which occurred about 8 months after a dose of mRNA-1273 BIVALENT.222  received as the fifth dose for COVID-19 Vaccination. It was reported that the patient experienced COVID-19 infection and that 6 days later experienced severe sinus infection which was treated with Paxlovid and doxycycline, the patient reported symptoms of tinnitus and hearing loss and performed audiology testing, MRI and sees and ENT. COVID-19 remains as contributory for sinusitis, and sinusitis as contributory with hearing loss and nerve dead, all the events could be in connection.  Patient's advanced age also remains a confounder. The benefit-risk relationship of mRNA-1273 BIVALENT .222 is not affected by this report.
