Patient received her second Pfizer Covid vaccine on 11Feb2021. She went to the hospital on 20Apr2021 and tested positive for Covid. She was in the hospital from 20Apr2021 to 27Apr2021. She also had pneumonia and was still on oxygen. She received her first dose of the Pfizer Covid vaccine in 21Jan2021. She reported being incredibly ill on 20Apr2021 and shocked at how sick she was. Knows with any vaccine, like child vaccinations, it was possible to get mild cases. She was in really bad shape with pneumonia in both lungs and in the hospital for a week, in isolation. She came home rather weak with home health care. She came home on oxygen and was now finally able to get off of oxygen to do things. She was also under quarantine and had to have two more Covid tests. A little redness and swelling at the site for a day or two. It was gone by the 15Feb2021 or 16Feb2021, it didn't last long. Recovered completely. She later stated this ended on 13Feb2021. She reported having symptoms of a cold, that she started getting a fever and then went for a Covid test at a (withheld). She found out two days later that she had Covid. She stated it worsened. She stayed home and rested, and her fever kept growing, then her chest started to hurt. She talked to her doctor on 20Apr2021 and was told to go to the hospital. She called an ambulance and went. She stated on 15Apr2021, she went to a walk-in clinic for an x-ray of her lungs and at that point they were still pretty good. That was on Thursday and over the weekend, that was when she needed to go to the Emergency Room. She added that she also had trouble breathing, had an IV, and was delirious. She was tired for a day and that was it. Then resumed all normal activities. Recovered with no effects from the vaccines. Caller stated she resumed everything by 15Feb2021. Knew she had a fever, was really hot but did not have a thermometer. She said when the fever started coming on stronger, she was not cognizant of everything that was happening. Thinks her temperature in the hospital was normal after a couple of days. Tested positive for Covid around 15Apr2021 or 16Apr2021. Started hurting 16Apr2021 or 17Apr2021. The pain was more in her back. She had difficulty breathing and pain in the back. Both of those probably didn't stop until she got discharged from the hospital. She also reported having pneumonia in both her lungs. She was taking a statin, a blood pressure medication, and eye drops. Had glaucoma and high cholesterol. A CAT scan of her lungs was performed because of the pneumonia. Had daily blood work. Tested positive for Covid: tested positive around 15Apr2021 or 16Apr2021. She had IVs with antibiotics and Remdesivir. She was in bad shape. It was a little touch and go for a while there. Had one dose each day IV of Remdesivir for five days. She was on oxygen but not on a ventilator while in the hospital and continued while came home, still on oxygen, dose was lower but still on it. Has no NDC/LOT/Exp to provide for Remdesivir. Her Veins collapsed; they couldn't find any way to get blood. She had a problem with her IV, had to call an EMT person to find another vein. She was incredibly ill. She hasn't been in hospital since daughter was born 45 years ago. For the first few days she was really ill and was in very serious condition. Was black and blue all over from all the shots. Was being given shots in her stomach. They were doing things in her arm. She was very fair and just bruised all over. Everything was healed. She was getting lots of needles. She said she didn't have any adverse reaction to the injection. Her concern was that she could have died from the pneumonia. The focus needs to be on how sick she was since the vaccine was supposed to protect her. How could she have gotten that ill? She can only do very little. Taking her a long time to get out on her feet. She can't function to write the math books and was missing deadlines. Cannot do more than a few things and it was taking her a while. Her being positive for Covid should have been a mild case. It was taking her a long time to recover. She had friends and acquaintances that got Covid and were home for a couple of days and tested negative. No further details provided. Wouldn't had expected the double pneumonia and being seriously ill. Since the Remdesivir, she now had scarring on her liver. Is disappointed, felt like she was being treated like a piece of data and like a lab rat, but a human being was involved. She could have died from pneumonia. Was concerned how she got so sick. Wanted to know if this had been reported with other people. Was still home recovering a month later, not functioning as well as she should be. Thought she would be protected. Stated Pfizer should be more concerned with her illness than the vaccine. Had this happened to anyone else? She shouldn't have been that sick. The patient underwent lab tests and procedures which included blood test: result unknown and had daily blood work, computerized tomogram: result unknown of her lungs was performed because of the pneumonia, sars-cov-2 test: positive on Apr2021 and x-ray: normal on 15Apr2021 x-ray of her lungs and at that point they were still pretty good. Remdesivir was administered as a therapeutic measure to treat the adverse event. The outcome of event Delirious, tested covid positive, weak, back pain, incredibly ill, Veins collapsed was unknown, fatigue was recovered on 15Feb2021, a little redness and swelling at the site was recovered on 13Feb2021 and bruised all over was recovered on an unknown date.   Follow-up attempts are needed. Further information is expected.
