Clinical narrative: lost a lot of weight, but still plump; tightness in chest; Upper chest tightness with post nasal drip, like the flu; got Covid virus/ Covid PCR testing: positive; got Covid virus/ Covid PCR testing: positive; This is a spontaneous report from a Pfizer-sponsored program Pfizer First Connect from a contactable consumer (patient). A 63-year-old female patient received the first dose of BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE) (Batch/lot number: EJ1685) via an unspecified route of administration on left arm on 24Dec2020 11:00 at single dose for COVID-19 immunisation. Medical history included ongoing asthma, ongoing allergies. She was asthmatic and believed that the virus would have affected her differently if she didn't get the vaccine. If she was to catch the virus and didn't have the vaccine she may not have come out of it. The patient's concomitant medications were not reported. The patient denied getting any other vaccines that day or 4 weeks prior. No problems with vaccines in past. Received the COVID vaccine at her workplace. The patient got COVID virus on 07Jan2021. It was also reported that the patient lost a lot of weight, but still plump, coughing, tightness in chest, upper chest tightness with post nasal drip, like the flu, body aches, all on an unspecified date. Emergency room visit needed for the events (body aches, runny nose). The patient underwent lab tests and procedures which included Covid PCR testing: negative on 04Jan2021, positive on 07Jan2021, rapid COVID testing: negative on 01Jan2021. The outcome of the event (got COVID virus) was not recovered, of other remain events was unknown.  Clinical course: The patient received the first dose of BNT162B2 on 24Dec2020, and a couple weeks later she got the COVID virus (07Jan2021). Mentioned she lost a lot of weight, but still plump. Probably be in the hospital now. Still had some coughing, tightness in chest, but it's not as bad. Upper chest tightness with post nasal drip, like the flu, runny nose in throat that goes down into the lungs and when it goes down she coughs and hacks to get rid of it. Went to the doctor office on the 01Jan2021 and did a rapid test and it was negative. Then on 04Jan2021 she did another PCR Covid test and it was negative. On 07Jan2021 she had symptoms and was insistent on getting another test since having body aches, runny nose. Got the re-test and it came back positive when she went to the emergency room. Got the PCR test. The patient thought that the way they were testing is how it's spreading. Did the testing on the 04Jan2021 and they used a swab bigger than a cue tip, it was huge and couldn't get far up enough instead of the tiny ones. On the 07Jan2021 at her job, emergency room, they had the tiny ones and was able to go further up and that's when she tested positive. Mentioned using salbutamol (ALBUTEROL) nebulizer, over the counter cough syrup, prescription azelastine hydrochloride;fluticasone propionate (DYMISTA) nasal spray, and pseudoephedrine hydrochloride (SUDAFED). When has the dry cough she uses the ALBUTEROL nebulizer with the machine and vials at home and that slows down the coughing a lot and the other stuff with the lungs. Not taking any steroids. Using SUDAFED to stop the runny nose from post nasal drip from going into lungs.
