He took acetaminophen (PHYSICIAN'S CARE EXTRA STRENGTH NON ASPIRIN) 2 tablets of 500mg every 6 hours as needed, to help with his headache but it did not help. Regarding the muscle pain, the patient ached like he had the flu and it was reported that it was not as bad today (day of report). Chills started yesterday afternoon (23Mar2021 at 15:00) and went all through the night. He felt like he was in a freezer and he had it in the house (with 70 degrees temperature) and eventually it has subsided. He doesn't know if he had a fever, but between the chills, he was sweating off and on all night from 20:00 to 11:00 the following day. He was concerned about next injection and wanted to know if he would be expecting to have the same side effects with that one.   No follow-up attempts are possible. No further information is expected.
