A 63-years-old male patient received first dose of bnt162b2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 mRNA VACCINE; Solution for injection; Batch/Lot number, NDC number was not reported, Expiry date: Jun2022), via an unspecified route of administration on an unspecified date as dose 1, single for covid-19 immunisation. The patient medical history and concomitant medications were not reported. Caller reporting on behalf of her husband who received the vaccine Sunday at 8:00 am so around 4-5 hours later. At noon, the right side of his jaw, near the ear lobe was swelling up. He went to the dentist the next day, Monday because he had been there 3 days ago, prior to receiving the vaccine. The dentist said he had a red throat and tonsillitis, he was given amoxicillin but he hasn't taken it yet. He also visited his physician who said to take Benadryl, which he has been. Could the reaction from the dental appointment have been triggered by the vaccination. Calling about Pfizer vaccine, the Covid 19 vaccine. She feels like everyone is calling about the same thing. She states the swelling went down a little and he took Tylenol. She said they tell people to not take Advil. Caller states not sure if the first digit of the lot number, O the letter or a zero, but the caller provides it as #, Expiry: June 2022, reports there is another group of numbers: #. She states husband is not a big Tylenol person, he took it that night, not during the day. Caller reports that the swelling at noon, the vaccine was given at 8 am, and attributed that to the dentist, but that was 3 days prior. Her husband didn't take the Tylenol when the event happened, but he took it later on. Caller reports that during the course of the day, it was going down, so she doesn't know if it was a reaction to the vaccine. She reports that she looked on the list, noted swollen lymph nodes, among some of the others. Stated that we would know list because we work for Pfizer and should know. Reports that the next morning, her husband was still swollen, and the cheek was puffy. He went back to dentist, and the dentist didn't know. The throat was red, and the dentist said it was Tonsillitis. Benadryl: caller cannot provide NDC/Lot/Expiry, as her husband has the bottle with him. This seems to be working. His throat is still kind of sore. Caller has the question: was that a possible reaction to the vaccine and if so, they say if there is a reaction and it wasn't bad, should he get the second dose, What should we do, She thought she could call here and we could help her. She is concerned that people say if he should go for the second one. Caller reports that the only reaction that she got with the second Moderna shot was a headache and chills. We all get that, this is a normal reaction. She knows many, many people have had those reactions. She got it about a month to 3 weeks ago and does not want to report anything regarding this, she has been fine. The outcome of events was unknown.  No follow-up attempts are possible. No further information is expected.
