Clinical narrative: Diarrhea; Pain in extremity; Pain in elbow; Limbs stiffness; Joint stiffness; Vaccination related malaise; This is a solicited report received from contactable reporter(s) (Consumer or other non-HCP). The reporter is the patient. Other Case identifier(s): 22K-163-4431379-00.  A 69-year-old female patient received BNT162b2 (BNT162B2), in 2020 as dose 1, single (Batch/Lot number: unknown) at the age of 69 years intramuscular for covid-19 immunization; adalimumab (HUMIRA), (Batch/Lot number: unknown) at citrate free, subcutaneous for rheumatoid arthritis. The patient's relevant medical history and concomitant medications were not reported. The following information was reported: IMMUNISATION REACTION (non-serious) with onset 2020, outcome "unknown", described as "Vaccination related malaise"; DIARRHOEA (hospitalization), outcome "unknown", described as "Diarrhea"; PAIN IN EXTREMITY (non-serious), outcome "recovering"; ARTHRALGIA (non-serious), outcome "recovering", described as "Pain in elbow"; MUSCULOSKELETAL STIFFNESS (non-serious), outcome "recovering", described as "Limbs stiffness"; JOINT STIFFNESS (non-serious), outcome "recovering". The patient was hospitalized for diarrhoea (hospitalization duration: 4 day(s)). The action taken for adalimumab was unknown. Therapeutic measures were taken as a result of diarrhoea. Clinical course: in 2020, the patient took the first shot of the Pfizer vaccination and she got sick. She was in the hospital for four days with uncontrollable diarrhea. She had to wear a diaper for four days. She had pain and stiffness in the hands arms and elbows. Pfizer BioNTech covid-19 vaccine (tozinameran) was also considered suspect.  The reporter's causality for the event(s) of uncontrollable diarrhea/had to wear a diaper, pain and stiffness in hands/arms/elbows unknown onset, pain and stiffness in hands/arms/elbows unknown onset, pain and stiffness in hands/arms/elbows unknown onset, pain and stiffness in hands/arms/elbows unknown onset and took first shot of Pfizer vaccination and got sick was not provided. Opinion is that there is no reasonable possibility that the events of uncontrollable diarrhea/had to wear a diaper, pain and stiffness in hands/arms/elbows unknown onset, pain and stiffness in hands/arms/elbows unknown onset, pain and stiffness in hands/arms/elbows unknown onset, pain and stiffness in hands/arms/elbows unknown onset and took first shot of Pfizer vaccination and got sick are related to HUMIRA (adalimumab).  Causality between events (Diarrhea, Pain in extremity, Pain in elbow, Limbs stiffness, Joint stiffness and Vaccination related malaise) and HUMIRA (Solution for injection in pre-filled pen) was Not reported by reporter and no reasonable possibility was assessed by manufacturer.  Causality between events (Diarrhea, Pain in extremity, Pain in elbow, Limbs stiffness, Joint stiffness and Vaccination related malaise) and Pfizer BioNTech covid-19 vaccine was reported as unknown by reporter and causality was not reported by manufacturer.
