The occurrence of additional non-serious events is detailed below.     No Medical History information was reported.   On 06-Mar-2021, the patient received first dose of mRNA-1273 (Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine) (Intramuscular) 1 dosage form. On 03-Apr-2021, received second dose of mRNA-1273 (Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine) (Intramuscular) dosage was changed to 1 dosage form. On 04-Apr-2021, the patient experienced ARTHRITIS (Second knuckle on the left hand became inflamed, not the big knuckle but the joint right after, Joint pain), PAIN (A lot of pain) and INFLAMMATION (At first all five fingers were inflammed, inflamation in fingers of left hand after second shot). On 05-Apr-2021, the patient experienced TENDONITIS (Started like freezing like with tendinitis, tendinitis in left hand) and ARTHRALGIA (Joint pain, tendinitis in left hand). On an unknown date, the patient experienced MUSCULOSKELETAL STIFFNESS (Stiffness), JOINT LOCK (Locking of the joint), CONDITION AGGRAVATED (My thumb kept getting worse and lead to tendinitis) and INSOMNIA (Constant waking up in the night due to the pain). The patient was treated with CORTISONE at a dose of Shot a month ago. At the time of the report, ARTHRITIS (Second knuckle on the left hand became inflamed, not the big knuckle but the joint right after, Joint pain), TENDONITIS (Started like freezing like with tendinitis, tendinitis in left hand), MUSCULOSKELETAL STIFFNESS (Stiffness), PAIN (A lot of pain), INFLAMMATION (At first all five fingers were inflammed, inflamation in fingers of left hand after second shot), JOINT LOCK (Locking of the joint), CONDITION AGGRAVATED (My thumb kept getting worse and lead to tendinitis), INSOMNIA (Constant waking up in the night due to the pain) and ARTHRALGIA (Joint pain, tendinitis in left hand) had not resolved.        For mRNA-1273 (Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine) (Intramuscular), the reporter considered ARTHRITIS (Second knuckle on the left hand became inflamed, not the big knuckle but the joint right after, Joint pain) to be possibly related. No further causality assessments were provided for TENDONITIS (Started like freezing like with tendinitis, tendinitis in left hand), MUSCULOSKELETAL STIFFNESS (Stiffness), PAIN (A lot of pain), INFLAMMATION (At first all five fingers were inflammed, inflamation in fingers of left hand after second shot), JOINT LOCK (Locking of the joint), CONDITION AGGRAVATED (My thumb kept getting worse and lead to tendinitis), INSOMNIA (Constant waking up in the night due to the pain) and ARTHRALGIA (Joint pain, tendinitis in left hand).
