A 69-year-old female patient received second dose of bnt162b2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, Formulation: Solution for injection, lot number-EN6200) via an unspecified route of administration on 02Mar2021 as dose 2, single and first dose of bnt162b2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, Formulation: Solution for injection, lot number E19267) via an unspecified route of administration on 11Feb2021 (age at the time of vaccination was 69-years-old) as dose 1, single for covid-19 immunisation. The patient's medical history included osteoporosis, when she was in her 40s she had the flu for a week, she could not get out of bed because her fatigue was that bad and she already had a sore throat, post nasal drip from her seasonal allergies. There were other products. The patient's concomitant medications included ongoing alendronate sodium (FOSAMAX), 70 mg weekly, indicated for osteoporosis from 01Aug2021. It was reported that Patient had 2nd doses back in Mar2021 and then both her and her husband had breakthrough COVID cases. She tested positive on 16Aug2021. Hers also went into viral bronchitis. The caller is calling today because she is wondering about the booster vaccine, it says to get it at least 6 months afterwards but how soon should she get it after having COVID. Caller states that her specific question is if they both had the Pfizer COVID vaccine and then had the breakthrough case of the delta variant when should they get the booster. She confirms that she would like to complete the report prior to speaking to medical information because the  isn't keeping track and she knows of 20 people who have had COVID and none of them have had any contact with each other including her 40 year old nephew who is vaccinated and was as sick as her and she doesn't know why. For the booster is says to wait at least 6 months but does that mean no sooner than 6 months or what. It is very confusing. Attempted to confirm when the viral bronchitis had began and she started to speak on how her case of COVID was like the worst case of the flu that she has ever had, when she was in her 40s she had the flu for a week and she couldn't get out of bed because her fatigue was that bad. With COVID she had started out sneezing all day and she already had a sore throat from her seasonal allergies and then it just got horrible, the sore throat did, then she had a headache, fever of 100.3, her normal is 97.5 so she felt sick but she had fatigue for 10 days to where she just laid in bed or on the couch and watched TV. She would have headache all day long and all the doctor said was to take Tylenol and Mucinex and if she got bad then she needed to go to the emergency room. You just never know when a person walks in that door because she knows a 30-year-old cop, he wasn't vaccinated, but he died in about 5 to 10 days and he was getting ready to get vaccinated. She says after COVID she had felt better for like 7 days and she had a great time then because it was labor day weekend and they had went kayaking, swimming and boating and then on 10Sep2021 she had an acute attack of viral bronchitis and went to the urgent care who said she also had oral thrush but then she went to an ENT doctor two weeks later who said that she didn't have oral thrush. They gave her a wash because she had a sore throat even though she felt fine and she thought that it was just her post nasal drip from the seasonal allergies so she had a virtual visit and was prescribed 5 days of prednisone. That made her throat better but then 2 days afterwards she had quit and it hurt just as bad as before. The doctor had prescribed her prednisone, Mucinex tablets and nystatin to swish in her mouth for the oral thrush, even though the ENT said that she didn't have that. She also had an x-ray when she first went to the urgent care and they thought that they saw a little nodule on the right side and that she had little collapsed air sacs at the bottom, they called it mild alterio bilateral (documented as provided by caller), but they were not concerned with that. Then 3 days later her cough got so bad and she had went back to urgent care because she wanted another x-ray to be sure that she didn't get pneumonia and her blood pressure there was 190/100 so they kicked her out and said to go to the emergency room because they thought that maybe she had a blood clot. She went to the emergency room and they took another x-ray and said that they saw nothing and that her lungs look totally fine. By the time she left the emergency room her blood pressure was 125/82 or something like that so they said to go home and finish her prednisone and if she didn't feel better to follow up with her primary care provider. And that's where she is and she finally got to go see the ENT again and they looked at her throat and prescribed two nasal sprays. Her post nasal drip is about 95% cleared and her throat is about 95% cleared so she is feeling good. Her question is just about getting the booster, why do they say 6 months and not any sooner. Everyone who she knows who had a breakthrough case got it within 4 to 4 1/2 months. she only takes Fosamax which she started on 01Aug2021 because her PET scan showed osteoporosis. It is the generic form that starts with "A" but it is 70 mg once a week, or 70 whatever the units are. she provided that she actually went the the urgent care on 11Aug2021 and she was negative for COVID at that time and they said that maybe she came in too soon so she went back 5 days later and that's when she was positive. she provided that she forgot to mention this but both her and her husband had lost their smell and taste. On labor day weekend she wasn't able to smell bleach and couldn't smell anything but now her taste and smell are about 95% back and her husband is starting to get his taste back but he said that everything smelt like diesel fuel and he still has not gotten his back all the way. The patient underwent lab test and procedures included blood pressure measurement: 190/100 and 125/82, Body temperature: 100.3 and 97.5, Positron emission tomogram: osteoporosis, X-ray: little nodule on the right side and on 16Aug2021, swab up her nose thing for COVID (SARS-CoV-2 test): positive. The outcome of sneezing all day, sore throat, cough was recovering and outcome of other events was unknown.  No follow-up attempts were possible. No further information was expected.
