The patient previously took flu shot in Sep2020 (he has not had any shots since he received his flu shot in Sep2020). The facility where the most recent COVID-19 vaccine was administered was a fire department. The vaccine was not administered at Facility. No additional vaccines were administered. The patient did not receive any other vaccines within 4 weeks prior to the COVID vaccine. The had the second dose of the Pfizer COVID 19 vaccine on 19Mar2021. On 19Mar2021, the patient experienced severe neck pain on the right side and pain under right shoulder blade/severe neck and shoulder, every bone and muscle in his body hurt and headaches. On 19Mar2021, about 6-7 hours after he received the second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, the patient experienced severe neck and shoulder pain. Headaches started when the severe neck pain started. He could feel the pain going up his neck behind his ear and into his head. On 19Mar2021 around 21:00 pm, the patient experienced muscle aches. The pain gets so bad that he had to lay down. The pain would go away a little bit for maybe a half hour or something and then the pain comes right back. The body and muscle aches went away the following day, but that the severe neck and shoulder pain and headaches will not go away. It had been four days and he was still having severe neck pain on the right side and pain under right shoulder blade. On an unspecified date, it felt like a stiff neck and intense especially in the evening. It was very irritating. On 21Mar2021, the patient felt better but the severe pain was still present in his neck and under his right shoulder blade. He could not walk very far due to his back pain. He would walk to his mailbox and could not make it back sometimes due to the pain in his lower back. The neck and shoulder pain was not as in bad in the morning when he wakes up, but as the day progresses it gets worse. The patient wanted to know how long that would last asking and would he have that the rest of his life. He has been experiencing the neck pain, shoulder pain, and headaches for 4 days. The patient was a little concerned as he was going in for back surgery on 14Apr2021 for 2 bad discs and he did not want any problems. He wanted to make sure everything was ok, that he had been waiting to have that surgery for a year and cannot wait any longer. He had talked to other people who reported similar side effects and said the side effects only lasted 2 days. He was still having symptoms 4 days after his second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine on 19Mar2021. He was nervous about it with his upcoming surgery on 14Apr2021. He will be hospitalized for 3 days after the surgery and he was anxious to get the COVID-19 vaccine because he wanted to be protected during his hospital stay post surgery.
