Clinical narrative: This is a spontaneous report from a contactable consumer or other non-health care professional. A 46-years-old female patient received BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, formulation: Solution for injection, Batch Number/Lot Number: EW0164), dose 1 via an unspecified route of administration, administered in Deltoid Right on 17Jun2021 10:30 as single dose and dose 2 via an unspecified route of administration, administered in Deltoid Right on 08Jul2021 10:30 (Batch/Lot Number: EW0164) as single dose for COVID-19 immunisation. Medical history included hypersensitivity (allergic to everything), ongoing autoimmune disorder (she has high inflammation in her body related to an autoimmune thing going on that has not been identified) and congenital anomaly (had a birth defect with 50 surgeries). There were no concomitant medications. History of all previous immunization with the Pfizer vaccine considered as suspect was none. Additional Vaccines Administered on Same Date of the Pfizer Suspect was none. The patient didn't receive any other vaccines within 4 weeks prior to the COVID vaccine (No AEs following prior vaccination). The patient previously took iron infusion and experienced adverse drug reaction. The patient experienced she had a sensitive reaction after both vaccines, so she took benadryl for it, she has had both doses of the vaccine and experienced dizziness after both on an unspecified date in 2021, her inflammation is already elevated on an unspecified date, throat feeling scratchy and closing, itching and throat feeling scratchy and closing on an unspecified date in 2021. Patient took Benadryl for event sensitive reaction. After the first dose dizziness resolved, however it has not resolved after the second dose, which she received on 08Jul2021. She says she has a really high SED rate, CRP, and other inflammation markers. Her doctors are trying to diagnose an autoimmune disease with lung involvement, maybe a connective tissue disease so her inflammation is already elevated. The patient stated 30 minutes before getting the second dose and after when she felt her throat feeling scratchy and closing. Afterward she was watched for over an hour and that was fine, she was fine. What she is wondering about is the dizziness which is debilitating. She had this with the first dose but it is way more severe with second dose. She is just wondering about it, she is not an anxious person, it is not anxiety. It hit within 10 minutes of getting the shot and she wants to know why and how long this will last. She took Benadryl for a day or 2 afterwards, this was not critical. They monitored her for an hour after the first dose, maybe longer for the second, and she was fine. This was true for both doses, the event resolved after a couple days. The dizziness last 3-4 days after the first dose. After the second it got worse 24 hours after the shot but at this point is has levelled off and is about the same and ongoing. The patient mentioned she also had itching. After the first shot it lasted 3 days. After the second dose it is still ongoing though she would say it is a little better. The itching is in the right upper arm. Then she says it is systemic and is sometimes her head, stomach, and leg. It drives her crazy and is all over, it is not constant but described as intermittent. The patient again confirms the symptoms are the same after both shots but worse after the second shot, just more intense. She also relays that there is other medication she has had reactions too. She knows she had iron infusion, 2 different one, that she had a reaction too. There are tons of drugs she has reactions to. AEs did not require the visit to emergency office/ physician office. No family medical history relevant to AEs and no relevant tests. The patient underwent lab tests and procedures which included c-reactive protein and red blood cell sedimentation rate with result high on an unspecified date. The outcome of the event her inflammation is already elevated was unknown, for events She explains she had a sensitive reaction after both vaccines so she took Benadryl for it and throat feeling scratchy and closing was recovered on an unspecified date in Jul2021, outcome of She has had both doses of the vaccine and experienced dizziness after both was not recovered and for event itching was recovering.
