A 55-years-old female patient received BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, Solution for injection, Batch/Lot Number: FC3180), dose 1 via an unspecified route of administration, on right shoulder, on 06Aug2021 17:00 (at the age of 55-years-old) as DOSE 1, 0.3 ML SINGLE for covid-19 immunization. The patient had no medical history (including any illness at time of vaccination) and no family medical history relevant to adverse event. The patient concomitant medications were not reported. The patient had no other products. The patient had no history of previous immunization with the Pfizer vaccine. No additional vaccines administered on same date of the Pfizer suspect. The patient had no prior vaccinations (within 4 weeks). She was calling regarding the Pfizer Covid vaccine.   She got the Pfizer Covid vaccine on 06Aug2021, (Friday) evening around 5:00pm. After that, she has been having side effects nonstop and it was now day 4. She was a little bit concerned that she would get long term side effects that were impacting her health and well-being for the rest of her life. She was active and completely healthy with no medical issues or medication whatsoever and never got ill. Now, for 4 days, she has been feeling these side effects. She was feeling a little frustrated. She knows people who got the Pfizer at store and had no side effects. She was healthier than those people.   She had the vaccine Friday at 5:00pm on 06Aug2021 and 20 to 30 minutes later, she felt like something rushed to her throat and nostril area. It was swollen, painful and she was congested in that area. That lasted about an hour. Right after that, she had a headache from around both ears, pressing into the head. That lasted for a couple of hours. The following day, Saturday, the headaches continued but they were not as severe. The patient was asking why she was having headache, swelling pain in the left shoulder after getting the first dose of the Pfizer covid-19 vaccine. The swelling in the throat was not as severe. It felt like a cold or flu feeling. She never got the cold or flu in her life but she was imagining it would be like that. She was 100 percent a healthy individual who has never had any health problems. The side effects were like the cold, flu and fever but she does not know. She assumed it was like the cold or flu, from the nostril area. Saturday, the headaches were not as severe. They continued and the headache felt like the head was pressurized throughout the day. It felt like it was better than the day before. On 08Aug2021, Sunday she felt better, concern was that she was very tired. Saturday, she slept in the afternoon. She just felt very tired. She guessed that was ok. She knows that was one of the side effects, fatigue. Sunday, she had low energy, but she felt dizzy. She fell down the stairs, the concrete stairs and got scratches, several inches long. She has never fallen before. States that she can send photos. It was because she was lightheaded. The scratches were on her legs and knees. She never felt like that before in her life. The vaccine was her downfall. She has been really weak and dizzy but, better than she was on Saturday. She felt like a 90-year-old lady. She used to exercise on the treadmill and run 5k every Saturday. She also did weight-lifting every week. Now, she was not in that shape. She just wants to take it slow. This morning she still felt pressurized in the head and was still very tired. Around 8 30, her left shoulder started to feel pain. Her injection was in the right shoulder. The injection site had pain Saturday, then went away. She was wondering if she can get cancer from this. She was very upset and concerned about her future. Treatment: In her life, if she has pain or whatever, scratches, they bleed than they dried. They just naturally heal themselves. She was not a believer in medications. Maybe that was why she was so healthy. She was not into medication. If there was a pain, she would rather heal naturally. Because she was concerned about side effects with medication, she does not take medication. If it was something she can tolerate, she just tolerates it. She asked can she have long term side effects. Would she get cancer. The whole part of her left shoulder, will it get worse. Would she find out she has heart issues or some long-term side effects, not temporary pain. The long term was what she was concerned about. The scratches, they were nothing, they heal. She now understands that the vaccine won't be complete without the second dose. She heard the side effects were more severe with the second dose. Now she was thinking that, and it makes her worried and scared. She was terrified. Was a little bit weird, that they used alcohol to wipe the site. It was closest to the bone. Could that be the reason, The store version was different than the other versions. She knows people who got the Pfizer Covid vaccine at Pharmacy. She would like to provide additional information that her husband took the same vaccine the day before. The studies she saw were that 79 percent of the side effects were women. The healthier you were the more side affects you get. Maybe that applied to her. Indication: It was mandated or going to be mandated. For the greater good, for the country to get over this, the vaccine numbers had to be higher and to get over the number. She wants to travel and hasn't been visiting where her family was. It has been 6 years. Her father was here for more than 4 years, then the funeral. He was paralyzed and couldn't return after that. Then Covid, and to go there, you must be fully vaccinated. She called her doctor, and they said the soonest they could see her was tomorrow at 10:00am. She was totally healthy. To be honest, in case Covid hits, assuming she was not vaccinated, she would not even know. It would naturally occur, and she would not even know. She asked was it normal to experience all of these symptoms. She asked was the vaccine the same formulation wherever she take it and was the dose of the vaccine the same for men and women. She asked If she take the second dose of the vaccine at a different location, she would still be considered vaccinated, she need to take the second dose in 3 weeks right. The patient not required visit to emergency room and physician office. The patient had no relevant test done. Outcome of the events was unknown.  Follow-up attempts are completed. No further information is expected.
