On 13-Sep-2022, the patient experienced GASTRIC ULCER (big blisters in the stomach) (seriousness criterion medically significant), SWELLING FACE (Jaw swollen/face was swollen), PERIPHERAL SWELLING (swollen legs and arms), SWELLING (swollen back), PAIN IN JAW (jaw sore), ABDOMINAL DISTENSION (swollen stomach), BLISTER (small blisters like small itchy bumps in legs, back and arms), PAIN IN EXTREMITY (his hands sore to the touch), URTICARIA (hives) and HEADACHE (bad headache). At the time of the report, GASTRIC ULCER (big blisters in the stomach), SWELLING FACE (Jaw swollen/face was swollen), PERIPHERAL SWELLING (swollen legs and arms), SWELLING (swollen back), PAIN IN JAW (jaw sore), ABDOMINAL DISTENSION (swollen stomach), BLISTER (small blisters like small itchy bumps in legs, back and arms), PAIN IN EXTREMITY (his hands sore to the touch), URTICARIA (hives) and HEADACHE (bad headache) had not resolved.  For mRNA-1273 BIVALENT .222 (MODERNA COVID-19 VACCINE, BIVALENT (ORIGINAL AND OMICRON BA.4/BA.5)) (Unknown), the reporter did not provide any causality assessments.  Patient had no other vaccines given within 1 month prior to Moderna COVID-19 vaccine. Symptoms come and go, they start over again every time at 3 o'clock. Patient had dose 1 of Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine (013M20A) on 02 Feb2021, dose 2 of Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine (013M20A) on 2Mar2021, first booster of Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine (007B21A) on 18Aug2021, second booster of Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine (048L21A) on 31Mar2022.

Company comment: This is a spontaneous case concerning a 67-year-old male patient, with medical history of diabetes, kidney failure and hypertension, who experienced the unexpected serious, medically significant AESI  of gastric ulcer and non-serious events of pain in jaw, swelling face, peripheral swelling, abdominal distension, swelling, blister, pain in extremity (all unexpected) and headache and urticaria (expected). All events occurred approximately one day after the administration of fifth dose of mRNA-1273 BIVALENT .222. The patient's previous vaccination series included 2 doses of mRNA-1273 (primary series) and two booster doses of mRNA-1273 vaccine. Outcome of all events was reported as ongoing ("symptoms come and go, they start over again every time at 3 o'clock"). No treatment was indicated for the events. The patient reported no similar events in the past; however, the patient also experienced a "sore arm for a couple days" after 4 previous vaccine shots. The patient had no reported allergies. Concurrent medical conditions of diabetes mellitus, kidney failure, hypertension, and multiple concomitant drugs remain as confounders for all events. The benefit-risk relationship of mRNA-1273 is not affected by this report.
