A 52-years-old male patient received bnt162b2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE), dose 1 via an unspecified route of administration, administered in Arm Left on 15May2021 10:50 (Lot Number: EW0173; Expiration Date: 31Aug2021) as 1ST DOSE, SINGLE DOSE for covid-19 immunisation.  Medical history included vasovagal reactions in high school. No other vaccinations within four weeks prior to the first administration date of the suspect vaccine. The patient's concomitant medications were not reported. Within 2 minutes of receiving the Covid 19 vaccine he started feeling like something was wrong. He pulled to the side in the parking garage and as soon as he stopped the car he passed out. He woke back up and was able to put the car in park and he passed out a second time. He woke up again and his foot was on the gas pedal and he tried to roll down the window. He was able to roll down the window but he wasn't able to get anyone's attention. He passed out a third time. When he woke up again he wasn't able to get the door open and he was nauseated. He basically had nausea, dizziness, and a definite lack of coordination. He just had sort of a feeling like being really drunk. He doesn't drink. He had very little strength but he was able to push his car horn. He was out of it. He could see someone in his car mirror a little ways behind his car and the horn didn't get the person's attention so he honked a second time and someone came to help him, maybe from the fire department and maybe some emergency medical technicians. He was placed on a golf cart or ATV to be transported downstairs to a waiting ambulance and while on the ride he vomited himself. He mentioned that the EMTs called it a vasovagal reaction. He was brought to the hospital in which he had a lot of tests done. He did not feel well at all and was not able to feel well enough to stand up. He had tests done at the hospital, a chest x-ray and his blood was drawn. He had a cardiac ultrasound later in the afternoon the next day on 16May2021. The doctor's didn't find anything wrong other than his cholesterol was high at 208. He was admitted to the hospital on 15May2021. He continued to have his blood drawn through the night and the next morning, on 16May2021, he had a CAT scan. For his cholesterol he was told to eat better and maybe follow up with a doctor in a couple months to check his cholesterol again. No one had any answers to the effect of what happened to him. Everything was fine, his tests were normal. He was told he had a vasovagal reaction. He's had vasovagal reactions before and he can tell this was much different than the vasovagal reactions he's had before. In the past when he's had vasovagal reactions the world went black like looking through a small circle, his vision got blacker and blacker and then he'd pass out. He did not have this feeling with the Covid 19 vaccine. He can only describe this feeling that he had like an occasion in his past when he's drank to much and he's stumbling around. He may have passed out briefly to someone helping him move to a bed and his arms are weighted and he can't lift them and he's disoriented but still has a sense of what's going on but he feels like he could vomit at any second. He's comparing his experience to the Covid 19 vaccine to drinking to much alcohol and then falling asleep or passing out. He was pretty much out of it for 5 hours. Between the fourth and fifth hours after receiving the Covid 19 vaccine he was comfortable enough to stand on his own for brief moments. He was feeling better and was able to use the restroom. By the next day, around the 24 hour period after the vaccine he was feeling almost normal. He was released from the hospital the next day, 16May2021 at around 4:00PM. He was maybe in the hospital for about 27 to 28 hours. At the hospital he had all these tests and he was found to be healthy with no problems. He also had a Covid 19 virus test, he never asked what the results were but he's going under the assumption that if he was Covid 19 virus positive the hospital staff would have told him. Passing out, nausea, dizziness required a visit to Emergency Room. The outcome was unknown.
