Around 6 months after getting the vaccine, his PSA went sky high.  Clinical course: Patient received the two shots Pfizer vaccine (Confirmed as COVID-19 vaccine) and not sure exactly when I got it, sometime in 2021. The bitter taste started end of Oct2022. Little less now that what it was in the previous 4-6 weeks.  Still there though. Print on vaccine card is small and may not be able to read it even with his magnifying glass.  COVID 19 vaccine record card has his name and date of birth and date, but he is not able to read the lot or expiration because of his vision disability. 1st shot of Pfizer COVID 19 vaccine was approximately 3 weeks prior to 2nd shot. He is on blood pressure medication, but that has never been a problem with the bitter taste.  No idea of the name. At the time of the vaccine he was in perfect health except his blood pressure. Before the vaccine, for 7-8 years, his PSA was completely normal.   Around 6 months after getting the vaccine, his PSA went sky high and he was diagnosed with prostate cancer. 1st dose: Date: Unknown exact date, but provided as approximately 3 weeks prior to 2nd dose given on 21Apr2021. Lot and expiration are unknown for both Pfizer COVID 19 vaccines given.  He did not receive any booster doses. Date PSA Went sky high: He did not confirm date but answered as: He first went to Urologist Nov2021, and in Jan2022, after going through biopsy surgery, which is pretty major surgery, they diagnosed him with Prostate cancer.  Confirmed this was outpatient procedure and he was not hospitalized for greater than 24 hours.  For the last 6 months has been on medication to lower his PSA and he does not know name of it.  He has been getting tested every 3 months.  Nothing has happened as far as removing the cancer or anything like that.  Everything has been status quo except for this medication he has been on for the last 6 months.   His PSA, according to the blood work on Oct2022, went from 9.7 all the way down to 2.7 and he had to go recheck it 2-3 times to make sure that was right and she said it is correct and the medication is helping for lowering the PSA.  It is not supposed to shrink the cancer, just the PSA.  He is going back in Jan2023 to see the doctor, so he will not know if it is any better or worse until then. No other vaccinations was received within four weeks prior to the first administration date of the suspect vaccine  The information on the batch/lot number for BNT162b2 has been requested and will be submitted if and when received.; Sender's Comments: Linked Report(s) : US-PFIZER INC-202201359230 same patient, different vaccine dose/event;
