A 38-years-old male patient received the first dose of BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, Lot Number: ER8737), via an unspecified route of administration, administered in right arm on 12Apr2021 14:00 at age of 38 years as single dose for covid-19 immunisation.

Around 14Apr2021, he had cold and flu like symptoms. He said he had headache, and sinus pressure, drainage and congestion. He said he felt dizzy, and he compared his dizziness to a feeling one gets before one passes out. He said it is associated with head or eye movement, and that there was a nerve shoot through his head down to his arm. This was accompanied by a tingling sensation that would usually last for less than a second. He said this reaction lasted for 2 and a half weeks. Patient mentioned that he consulted his physician, and was prescribed with doxycycline, which helped with the relief of his cold and flu like symptoms, as well as the congestion. He said it has been cleared for 5 days now. On 17Apr2021, patient said he had fever with a temperature of 100 F. He was concerned because the fever had not subsided ever since. On 17Apr2021 he had onset of fever which was ongoing. He was struggling to narrow down the choices here. He was grasping at straws trying to figure out if this ongoing fever fits in the realm of rare side effects of Pfizer Covid-19 Vaccine and asked for further information regarding the fever. He later mentioned he also had cold-like symptoms and an other weird symptom. Fever was typically in morning temperature was 100.2 to 100.5 degrees Fahrenheit then got to about 101 degrees Fahrenheit in the afternoon. Cold-like symptoms was for the first 2.5 weeks had headaches, sinus-related symptoms like runny nose, congestion, sinus pressure. He thought the sinus pressure in particular could be associated with the other weird symptom he had. One of patient's sons daycare had a cold going around his class on 14Apr2021; some of the kids went home with colds and fever so he initially chalked this up to that. Otherwise he did not think so. As a kind of cover her but his doctor did prescribe doxycycline which he just finished the last dose so been on that for 10 days at 100mg twice daily. He thought due to that any of the sinus symptoms he had have dropped. He felt cured of those other than fever; only fully recovered completely about 5 days ago (06May2021).
