Clinical narrative: Her arm is still achy; running a slight temperature; vision problems; Numbness in extremities; right side sinus running; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable consumer (patient). A 65-year-old female patient received the first dose of BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE), intramuscular, administered in right arm on 30Apr2021 13:00 (Lot Number: EW0172) at the age of 65 years as single dose for covid-19 immunisation. Medical history included diagnosed allergies, compromised immune status, an autoimmune disorder that they found through blood work, but they do not know which one she had, respiratory illness, genetic/chromosomal abnormalities, endocrine abnormalities (including diabetes) and obesity, cholesterol and triglycerides were high; dental issues before she got the vaccine, put medicine in her tooth because it was going bad, they just did a CT scan of her jaw and all the teeth area to talk about implants. The main issue is with her front tooth and it is major. This was prior to the vaccine; previously had a lot of flashers and retina was starting to pull away, having issues with her eyesight for a couple of years prior to getting the vaccine; herpes virus and for 5 years; right sinus normally clogged up and it was not that she cannot breathe or that it was runny; Pre-diabetic and bloodwork showed all her numbers were high, GBS, muscle weakness and she had a TIA 5 years ago. She saw a cardiologist and he did an EKG and her EKG was off. This was before the vaccine. This all made her reluctant about getting the vaccine because of that and autoimmune disease that she did not know what it was. Father died with something with right arm and his arm used to ache like hers. Her arm was hurting still to this day. The patient's concomitant medications included a lot of vitamins. Historical vaccine included flu shot and her right arm would hurt her. She had a terrible time with it. She would like to report her symptoms. She was supposed to get second shot tomorrow and would not go until she saw her physician. She already saw an eye doctor. She had vision problems at 02May2021 17:00 and extremity issues which she said was numbness in all of her extremities at 30Apr2021 22:00. She got the shot on a Friday and noticed the vision problems on Sunday. She went to an emergency visit to an ophthalmologist and they said her eyes were fine, but they are not fine. The numbness was in all extremities but more so in right arm, right hand and up in shoulder from ear to hand. It was more on the whole right side only. It started right away. Her arm was still achy. It was achy but not to the point of excruciation. The other day, on Sunday, she could have cried because it hurt so bad. Her normal temperature was 97.7 degrees Fahrenheit. She just went to another dentist and they took her temperature and it was 98.9 degrees Fahrenheit. She thought she must be running a slight temperature right now. She did not know if it was high now. She had right side sinus running at 30Apr2021 13:20 like when you spray something in nose and it went down your throat. This happened 20 minutes after the shot. It was tasteless. She could not taste anything but could feel sinuses were draining down her throat. It was not running now, but was bothersome. AEs require a visit to physician office, ophthalmologic visit to Eye clinic. She waited a couple of days and thought it would dissipate. She saw them on 04May2021 or 05May2021. Outcome of events vision problems and Numbness in extremities was not recovered and the other events was unknown.
