This is report 1 of 5.  A 78-year-old female patient received bnt162b2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, Solution for injection, Lot number: not reported), dose 1 via an unspecified route of administration in left arm on 28May2021 at 17:30 as single for covid-19 immunization (at the age of 78years). The patient medical history included First serious fall from May2021 to an unknown date-Shattered left hip that was May2019; shattered left hand and wrist; When shattered left hip they had to fix the shattered hip then they put a metal rod from the hip to the kneecap inside the femur bone. Second serious fall from 27Nov2019 to 27Nov2019, fell again in her home and that time she shattered the left knee, hip fracture- Broke right hip 4 or 5 times, shoulder arthroplasty- On the right arm. She broke that right before get to the shoulder, the upper arm and the shoulder and everything was all mangled, stevens-johnson syndrome from on an unspecified date in 1954 and ongoing-very severe autoimmune disease she got at age of 12, in roughly 1954. It is also called Erythema bullosum-that's what it starts out as-then becomes Stevens-Johnson Disease, then Stevens-Johnson syndrome. Affects mucus membranes in body and appears to be rejecting the eyes-this is relative to her blindness. When contracted had 108 degree fever, implantable defibrillator insertion from on an unspecified date in 2015 and ongoing- installed back about 6 years. She was taking some kind of, the numbers are way down now, she does not think there's a problem but they were thinking she was prediabetic which was probably attributed to her diet. The day before they did the blood test she had ice cream for lunch and for dinner. Then she had the blood test taken the next morning which could have set the numbers off the chart; since then the numbers have gone down. glucose tolerance impaired. They were thinking she was prediabetic and blind from an unknown date and unknown if ongoing, wheelchair user from an unknown date and unknown if ongoing. She only has 1 eye now-left eye; has been legally blind since age 24 years; now left eye is just about gone. She was the 5th person in the world to have Stevens-Johnson syndrome with blindness that could still see and lived. First 3 people with Stevens-Johnson syndrome died-4th lived but was blind. Concomitant medication's included sertraline hydrochloride (ZOLOFT), diazepam (VALIUM), hydrocodone bitartrate, paracetamol (VICODIN), cholesterol (CHOLESTEROL) taken for an unspecified indication and Unknown product: Some kind of stomach pill, does not know, it is the size of caraway seed in rye bread. Regarding concomitant medications caller reported she has no idea. She is taking products that the drug store puts a bubble pack for her. She was taking high blood pressure but her blood pressure was never high, it always ran on the low side; but they started giving her that when she had a pacemaker and defibrillator 2-in-1 installed back about 6 years ago. Otherwise unknown. Cholesterol meds but those numbers are all under control. She has been having trouble; so she thinks this is the last months she is getting her meds after that she thinks she is stopping everything.

She cannot provide further information for her concomitant products as she is blind-Lots/NDCs/Expiries: Not provided, She cannot provide further information for her concomitant products as she is blind. With the old flu vaccines with the live viruses she was always coming down with the flu after getting the injections. Patient was not diagnosed with COVID-19 prior to the COVID vaccine and since the vaccination. Patient did not receive other vaccine within 4 weeks prior to the COVID vaccine. Patient did not visit emergency room or physician office. Adverse reaction was very bad: Started out with pretty bad headache around noontime, 12:00 on 29May2021 with the most severe part of event starting probably about 22:00. From there it went to severe chills and temperature. Then she went to move her left arm where she had gotten the shot and couldn't move it; she tried to move her fingers and make a fist but couldn't do it; the arm was paralyzed. Then her shoulder blades started hurting like hell, like incredible. If she had a gun she would have put it to her head. Then where the neck connects to the body, collar bones she guessed; in between like if she had an adam's apple it would be on both sides of those bones that are right beside the neck, they started hurting like hell. The paralyzed arm the pain coming from that was incredible; then the pain went down to both hips and her back too; but back wasn't as severe as the bones. All of Saturday, 29May2021 into Sunday, 30May2021 she was unable to get out of bed. This whole thing just intensified, she had nobody there; she lives in senior housing, they are confined to their quarters, to their apartments, the whole thing. She did not have access to anyone, had problems with her phone with no dial tone, nothing. Finally on Sunday, 30May2021 early evening she was able to, she would say, slither out of bed on her back and drop her feet over the edge of the mattress so those are kind of like on the floor. Her wheelchair is next to her; she has to get her upper body upright to be in seated position to be able to get into the wheelchair which was damn near impossible to do. She never knew that kind of pain existed. She was then able to get into the bathroom and use that. She had nothing to drink because obviously if you drink have to urinate and use the bathroom there was no way she was going to go through that again. She thought at that time she might as well go and unlock the door so if an ambulance does come they can haul her to the hospital or they could retrieve her body. She was totally convinced she was going to die on Sunday night into Monday morning, 30May2021-31May2021. She was up until 04:30 on Monday morning, 31May2021 because she was so scared if she fell asleep she would pass away in her sleep. The pain she could not describe how bad that was. That was Monday morning, 31May2021, all of this interim information she is discussing here; basically she was a total mess until it started backing off on Wednesday, 02Jun2021. She was told by the commission for the blind, that they were able to set up the appointment with # because she was due for in-home inoculation with J&J but when they had trouble with that it was pulled and the appointments were cancelled. The commission for the blind took it upon themselves to set up appointment for her Pfizer Covid Vaccine which was given at # on 8 #. #-that was where her Pfizer Covid Vaccine was administered. She did not call anyone or go to the doctor, emergency room or hospital; she has life alert but thought it was in God's hands so if he takes her he takes her. She did not call her daughter. She did call her doctor the early part of last week; he wants her to have a blood test to check for antibodies to see how much of the vaccine is in her or how much she is covered. Once he sees those numbers he says maybe she should get the J&J Covid Vaccine, but if she already got the Pfizer Covid Vaccine and with the J&J trouble with that too, that does not even make sense. She asked for information about that. She was due for a physical about a week ago but her daughter was unable to take her to her physical appointment because she had to take granddaughter to hospital because granddaughter has a hole in her heart and they had to do some testing on her. The patient underwent lab test which included body temperature of 108 degree on 29May2021. The outcome of events were unknown.  Information about lot/Batch has been requested.
