Clinical narrative: mouth is very dry; headache; fever at 100F; Heart rate increased; aches all over; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable consumer (patient). A 78-year-old male patient received BNT162B2 (BNT162B2, Solution for injection; lot number ENG200 and expiry date not reported), via an unspecified route of administration, administered in Arm Right, on 03Mar2021 09:00 (at the age of 78-year-old), as dose 1, single, for covid-19 immunisation. Medical history included covid-19 from 01Nov2020 to an unknown date and blood pressure high which was diagnosed 10 years ago. It was reported that, he nearly died of COVID in November and took him until December and January to start feeling human. The patient went to emergency room twice, the second time was on 13Nov2020 with his wife, and she passed away in a few days. The patient was sent home, he was very sick, but they had no beds. From 13th - 23rd he lost about 24lbs, had tremendous sweating, high pulse, etc. The patient lost his weight from 196 to 172 pounds in 10 days during COVID and now he put on 10lbs and weighs 182lbs. Concomitant medication included tiotropium bromide (SPIRIVA RESPIMAT; lot number: 004796A and expiry date: July 2023, 2.5mg, take two puffs once a day) taken to improve lung ability from Jan2021 and unspecified blood pressure medication (5 mg) to lower his blood pressure. Patient did not take any other recent vaccinations, he had been using Spiriva inhaler that was prescribed to get his oxygen percentage up, it has been in the low 90s for a long time, it got up to 95, about where it was now, and the only real medication he was using was the inhaler that was prescribed for his wife. He used it and it gave him some relief, then his doctor prescribed it to him too, he was only on his second unit. It was supposed to improve the ability for his lungs to generate oxygen. He says that he first used that medication during the third week of January, it has 60 meters in doses, his COVID was not like others who got better in 2-3 weeks, it lasted right thru December, perhaps he was a long hauler, he still had symptoms in January that were not improving. On 03Mar2021, after vaccination, at night, the patient was not feeling well and experienced a fever at 100F, aching all over, headache, and a pulse rate of 90-110/ heart rate increased. The temperature began about 12 hours later after getting the shot at 09:00AM, about 6-8 hours he began to suffer, and it had got worse. It was reported that he was suffering, and he feels like when he had nearly died of COVID which was 6 weeks long and was feeling the same way. It was also reported that, his mouth was very dry. The patient wants to know if there was anything, he can take, to help this. No treatment done so far. It was reported that if this goes away in 24-36 hours it would be good. The patient was wondering if it was ok for people who had serious COVID to get the vaccine. The patient underwent lab tests and procedures which included body temperature: 100F on 03Mar2021; heart rate: 90-110 and 80-110 (his normal 58), weight: 196lbs (before COVID), weight: 172lbs (after COVID), weight: 182lbs (at the time of report). The outcome for the events was unknown.  No follow-up attempts are possible. No further information is expected.
