A 59-year-old female patient received bnt162b2 (BNT162B2), dose 3 via an unspecified route of administration at the age of 59 years old on 14Oct2021 (Batch/Lot Number: FF2589) as DOSE 3 (BOOSTER), SINGLE for covid-19 immunisation. Medical history was not reported. Concomitant medications included varicella zoster vaccine rge (cho) (SHINGRIX) taken for an unspecified indication, start and stop date were not reported; influenza vaccine (FLU VACCINE VII) taken for an unspecified indication, start and stop date were not reported. The patient previously took the first dose of BNT162B2 on 23Mar2021 and experienced pain her arm, felt her arm was disconnected from her arm, felt woozy, second dose of BNT162B2 on 13Ap2021 and experienced arm started to feel like it was going to fall out again, was woozy and it was worse; both for covid-19 Immunization. On 14Oct2021, the patient told the nurse at the pharmacy about her side effects. The patient's arm started feeling like it did last time, but it was not as severe. She was not feeling that bad and she thought that maybe this time it was better, but she still stayed for almost half an hour. She felt woozy and her arm wasn't right. She stated that her arm is paralyzed. She went home and laid down because it takes it all out of her, it really does. That night, her side effects took until that night, she had a headache where she felt like her head was exploding. She had tried to take Tylenol, but nothing helped. She couldn't even open her eyes because it got so bad. She was down. Her arm got worse but the muscle wasn't hurting as bad as it was before. Even though her arm felt heavy and numb/tingly, it didn't feel like it was out of socket like the last two times. Then the next day, Oct2021, the headache was getting worse so she took Tylenol and it was not doing anything. Like she had said she couldn't open her eyes other than when she got up to go to the bathroom and that's it. Then her arm at the top started feeling better and it was not as numb but under it she was having a terrible pain that had lasted for two days. Around that time her headache finally reacted to the Tylenol and she got her headache better by using Tylenol. Her eyes were to where she could keep opened longer but she still couldn't eat anything. Then all of a sudden, it's like she could breathe but if she took a deep breath, like when you have the flu, she couldn't do that, she couldnt get a deep breath. When she had tried to cough she got a pain the back of her neck that went all the way to her head and that had lasted for a few days. She had a milkshake yesterday but nothing else because when she eats, she is going to the bathroom and nothing taste good. Yesterday she also felt better so she drove to the mailbox and by time that she got to where she could pick up the package at the front office, it was her mom's package, she had to wait a while because, she wasn't breathing hard, but she just couldn't catch her breath. She does understand that a lot of people have been feeling this after taking it. These were worse than flu symptoms and that's the only thing that she can say to describe this. She has never had a headache and not been able to open her eyes like that before. Now, her head's better and her arms better but she is still having some symptoms. The patient recovered from the events paralyzed, pain in arm, woozy, apraxia of eyelid, breathing difficult in Oct2021. The outcome of other events was unknown.  Follow-up attempts are completed. No further information is expected.
