Since taking this shot, he has experienced the loss of his sense of smell. It was now been over 30 days and he further stated that he still cannot smell anything. It was becoming worrisome. He would like to know if this will last forever. As the prescribing Information does not include all adverse reactions that have been reported or that may occur, please consult with your doctor/healthcare provider about what you have experienced/are experiencing.  Because your doctor/healthcare provider was most familiar with your medical condition, clinical history, how your treatment has been conducted and any relevant information to your specific case, your doctor/healthcare provider was in the best position to advise you about the appropriate action to take. He had first dose and second dose Pfizer Covid-19 Vaccine and then he waited for 6 months to get booster shot. He got the booster shot on 30Sep2021. He had no problem with the first two shots and he did not have any side effect. This time on the booster shot, he lost his smell, he cannot smell anything and he went back to the drug store where he got the shot, he told that it was highly unusual for him to have that problem because most of the time people lose it for one or two days and it comes back. He stated that back in Feb2021 he had the shot thing where he took one, waited a couple of weeks and then took the second one. Then on 30Sep2021, he took the booster, all the shots were Pfizer. The first 2 shots, he didn't even know he took anything. There were no side effects at all that he could think of. The booster shot was kind of a little bit where he knew he got the shot. He was not sick or anything. He was a little weak a bit for a couple of days but that went away. Then, he felt like he was back to normal. He probably discovered this as he was getting over that shot, the 30Sep2021 booster shot. Now, he has no smell and cannot smell anything. He can taste everything but cannot smell anything. He went back to the pharmacist that gave him the shot. He said he had never heard of this. He said that he heard of people maybe losing it for a couple of days, like 2 or 3 days and come back but not for 30 days. He stated he was thinking, does he have to spend the rest of his life without being able to smell. He was wondering what Pfizer had to say about it. He called last Friday and they told him this department was closed. He then states that it was Saturday and that they were closed and today was the first day speaking with someone. As far as he knows, he was 90 years old and never lost his smell before. He really did not notice until a couple of days later after he got the booster shot. He got up in the morning and could not smell his coffee and could not smell anything. So he thought, ok he has got this mess. He states that he called his doctor and he did not see him but he called him back and told him not to worry, that it would come back in a couple of days. He stated that it was normal that everybody given those symptoms, it usually comes back. For him, it has been 30 days and he was wondering if he will have it forever. The patient used to take Vytorin for the thing that everybody has that starts with a C. The patent for that ran out so they made a substitute for that. The Vytorin was a combination of Ezetimibe and Simvastatin. So now he took those 2 separately. Those 2 pills replaced the Vytorin which was a pill made out of those 2 medications. He has been taking all of these medications for 2 or 3 years now. It was his regular routine for his old boy. He was acclimated to these pills. He has enjoyed good health. The patient did not administer additional vaccines on same date of the pfizer suspect. The only thing remotely suspect was that he has a little sinus condition. It seemed like when he took the shot, it just made it worse for a couple of days. He had a runny nose and was coughing and spitting. He states that it is normal for him and he has been doing that. It is no big deal but it had gotten worse and he had felt a little woozy for a couple of days after the shot. He states that it just aggravated it a little bit. The patient did not require any emergency room, physician office.   No follow-up attempts are possible. No further information is expected.
