Clinical narrative: around at the wrist area it's is painful; having a hard time breathing/Shortness of breath; pain at my knee; This is a spontaneous report received from a contactable consumer reported for herself. An 85-year-old female patient received first dose of bnt162b2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, Solution for injection, Batch/lot number: Unknown, Expiry date: unknown), via an unspecified route in the left shoulder on 07Mar2021 around 11:00 (age at the time of vaccination: 85-year-old), as a single dose for covid-19 immunization. Medical history included hospitalization in 2018 when she broke her hip/fractured hip. First time being in a hospital was for operation for fractured hip in 2018; other than that, never really been in the hospital for anything like being really sick. Other medical history included high blood pressure (about 25 years ago, ongoing) and irregular heartbeat (onset about 25 years ago, ongoing). She has some kittens, and knows she was allergic to them, allergies she thinks were from her little kitties and in the spring and fall she has allergies. Patient did not receive any other vaccines within 4 weeks prior to the COVID vaccine. Past drug event included Toprol 50mg taken once daily started about 25 years ago, ongoing use for high blood pressure. On 08Mar2021, patient started with pain at her knee which is ongoing that started 2 days after she got the injection and it never hurt before. Event seems to be going away but she still has pain and when it does come you know you've got pain there. On 10Mar2021, a few days later patient started getting, no bad, but it's still breathing issues. Patient was having a hard time breathing shortness of breath, not badly, but it is annoying and persistent; staying basically status quo since onset. She has not spoken to anyone about this or reported to anyone else before this report. She hates to run to a hospital because there are people who really need help, and event is not that bad but it's there and it's quite bothersome. She was hoping it would go away. She lives alone and she goes out only when it's necessary especially for shopping or to the hospital because so susceptible to everything, so she tries to keep away. On an unknown date, her left arm not where she got the injection but around at the wrist area it was painful. Patient don't know if this was because of her age and weather but started right after she got the injection a day or after. She called to ask about these events relative to the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine, she also asked, because at her age if she won't remember to ask, how long the information about the whole list of side effects of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine have been on the news, like the at the injection site, tiredness, headache, muscle pain, when did they find that out; if other patients have reported shortness of breath like hers. Patient no longer has a health care provider to contact. Her former doctor just retired, she loved him and would go to place especially just to see him. Adverse events did not result in emergency room or physician office visit. Patient called yesterday and she was told that Pfizer wasn't getting reports about difficulty breathing or an unusual heartbeat but she looked at our brochure and it's on there. The clinical outcome of breathing issues was not recovered, wrist area it was painful was unknown and pain at knee was recovering.  No follow-up attempts are needed; information about lot/batch number cannot be obtained.
