A 51-years-old male patient received BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE), dose 1 via an unspecified route of administration on 04May2021 (at age of 51 years old) (Batch/Lot number was not reported) as 1st dose, single for covid-19 immunisation.  Medical history included flu, has gotten the flu before but has never gone on this long.  The patient's concomitant medications were not reported. Clinical course as reported: He is a practicing physician who has been providing vaccinations to patients all of his life.  He ended up with severe right deltoid pain. It is usually not a problem, he has dealt with this with other shots.  By the second or third day, it was very tender and swollen and had axillary lymphadenopathy on the same side he re-ceived the vaccination. It persisted the next day until day 5 or 6. He then started to get worried.  He went to the hospital. They did a CT scan which noted there was notable lymphadenopathy. They thought it was a reaction to the Covid vaccination.  2 days later, he went home and he kept taking Motrin and Tylenol on board. Lymphadenopathy was evident in the left axilla, inguinal nodes, and is still there now. On day 7, he went into full blown flu syndrome, had a headache, body aches and flu like chills, the whole thing. Is still a little bit rhinitic and is very congested, and is draining like a faucet. It has all been happening since he got vaccinated. He was told he was either exposed to covid or it is from the vaccination. He went to urgent care yesterday (20May2021) and they did a Covid test which was negative.  He hates to point fingers but this fatigue has been overwhelming and is never ending.  He called withheld where he got the vaccination. He said the pharmacist has been hearing this from a lot of patients.  He reported for 7 days straight the clinical events as they were happening. Nobody has contacted him, they said some-one would be contacting him the next day and he has not heard from anyone.  This laid him up for 5 days. The last 4 days, he had severe pain in the left foot, and the right hand. It was out of the blue like someone whacked him with a hammer. He couldn't even walk, it was completely painful.  He hasn't worked out since he got the damn shot. In 15 days, he has not gone to the gym.  They did an X-ray which didn't say anything. He was in immense pain. They gave him prescription for Prednisone 50mg and he hasn't been able to get to the pharmacy to get it yet but will head over shortly.  Has been taking Motrin and Tylenol around the clock. Has been taking antihistamines because his nose has been running like a faucet non stop and he has a sore throat. Sore throat has gotten better in the last 5 days. The pain was really bad. The sore throat has subsided. The  nasal drain-age and his eyes are watery are still there. Has been fatigued and his body aches and he is exhausted.  The second vaccination is due 25May2021 and he is absolutely not getting the second one.  When having other viral syndromes, he has never felt this sick. Has gotten the flu before but has never gone on this long.  He is just feeling like crap. Can barely even get out of bed every morning. It is unbelievable. He hasn't had any true positive exposure. Has not been exposed to other family members with Covid/ coronavirus.  Have practices strict isolation in their home. They have 5 kids and they did not go near anyone or go to any public places.  For this to happen, it has to be because of the vaccine. Nothing else could have caused this. No one else around him has been sick. Is not sure if they are getting a lot of reports.  When going on line to the Pfizer vaccine reporting, it took him a while to get a number to contact Pfizer directly. He called (Withheld) and they gave him 2 wrong numbers. It took 4 people to get the number to report this to Pfizer. He thinks there is a lot of under reporting.  If he has a deductible, he would like Pfizer to take care of the cost for his ER visit. On 21May2021,  reported that Beginning 05/04 when received vaccine, experienced Very large lymph nodes and Flu syndrome. Outcome for events sore throat was recovered on May2021, for other events was unknown.    The lot/batch number has been requested.; Sender's Comments: A possible contributory effect of suspect BNT162B2  on reported events cannot be excluded  The impact of this report on the benefit/risk profile of the Pfizer drug is evaluated as part of Pfizer procedures for safety evaluation, including the review and analysis of aggregate data for adverse events.
