There were no concomitant medications and no other products. Historical vaccine included having his FLU shot about 3-4 months ago for immunization (adverse events following prior vaccinations: none). History of all previous immunization with the Pfizer vaccine considered as suspect and additional vaccines administered on same date of the Pfizer Suspect were none. No prior vaccinations (within 4 weeks). Family Medical History relevant to adverse events was none. Reportedly, the patient was administered his first dose of PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE on 06Mar2021. He reported symptoms including tiredness (within about 8 hours of being administered the vaccine); chills (about 4 hours after the vaccine was administered, around 17:30-18:00); headache (within about 8 hours of being administered the vaccine); body aches; pains in his back (later in the evening on 06Mar2021, within probably 8 hours of being administered the vaccine); fatigue; did not feel like doing anything (within about 8 hours of being administered the vaccine); and 2 were not showing up on the list in which first was hard to explain, but his skin was like you've been out in the sun, it felt burnt but did not show burnt (within about 8 hours of being administered the vaccine); and second was itching all over his body with no rash, on his fingers, nose, feet, back, the itching bounces all around (later in the evening on 06Mar2021, within probably 8 hours of being administered the vaccine), he could not sleep at nighttime due to the itching; all on 06Mar2021. He did not know if he was a candidate to get the second dose of the PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE or not, did not want to have these symptoms or worse with the second dose. Clinical course was as follow: the patient would like to know if it was safe to receive his second dose and if he should take the second dose of the PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE after the side effects he experienced with the first dose. These side effects included: back ache, headache, muscle aches, chills, fatigue, tightness in his chest, and feeling like he had a "frog in my throat; all in Mar2021." The patient reported that on 08Mar2021 (yesterday) he experienced "fast heartbeat" where his heart was beating fast and then would "kind of skip a beat." He also stated that his skin had a burning sensation in certain areas and states "it's like it's been in the sun. and had "terrible" itching all over his body (but did not show a rash) that went "to his hands, to his nose, to his throat, inside his ears, down his legs" and this had been going on for about 3 days. As therapeutic measures he tried taking BENADRYL 25mg strength for the itching, but the BENADRYL did not faze the itching. No emergency room/physician office visit and was not hospitalized. Relevant tests were none. Outcome for muscle aches, tightness in his chest, feeling like he has a "frog in my throat", fast heartbeat, heart was beating fast and then would "kind of skip a beat" was unknown; outcome for rest all events was not recovered.  No follow-up attempts are possible; information about batch/lot number cannot be obtained.
