A 66-years-old female patient received BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, Solution for injection, Batch/Lot Number: ew0180) via an unspecified route of administration on 27Jul2021 14:15 as DOSE 1, SINGLE for covid-19 immunisation. The patient medical history was asthmatic. The patient's concomitant medications were not reported. On 27Jul2021 at 19:00 that evening "I had hives all over my body and itching really bad". She reports that the hives began within 3 hours of getting the shot. Patient reported "I didn't go to the hospital, I put ice packs on my whole body, took my antihistamines and inhalers." Patient reported that she has an epi-pen but didn't have to use it. Patient reported that the next morning on 28Jul2021 when she woke up her throat was almost swollen shut, her ears and face were also swollen. She called her PCP and they didn't call back so she stayed home from work, and continued taking her antihistamines and using her emergency inhaler. She reports then calling her allergy doctor and when she told them what was happening they said to come in, or if it gets worse to go to the hospital or go to a walk in clinic because the hospitals are busy. Patient reported that on Saturday 31Jul2021 she had a really bad headache, couldn't open her eyes and was hurting under her armpits where the lymph nodes are and also had chills the whole time. Patient reported that on unspecified date Jul2021 her chest hurt since she had the shot. On unspecified date 2021 She reported that she was told that the inside of her nose was infected, her throat was blood red, very bad, so he called in a prednisone prescription and advised her to stay home for 10 days. Patient reported that in the meantime she took the Prednisone (reports that the pharmacy ordered it Tuesday and told her it wouldn't be in till later Thursday) So she and her husband went to get Covid tested on unspecified date. She was told that the rapid test was negative and she began her Prednisone Friday at noon. They also advised her not to get the 2nd dose of the vaccine. Patient reported that she is still home on and off, only going in to work to do payroll, because she has been really tired on unspecified date 2021. I even went to my ear Dr. last week Aug2021, because I had an earache, ears were clean, he checked my throat because it was swollen and said there was no infection there and it must still be from the shot. Lab test included Covid Negative on unspecified date, Covid rapid test Negative on 06Aug2021. The outcome of event was unknown.  Follow-up attempts are completed. No further information is expected.
