Clinical narrative: This is a spontaneous report from a contactable consumer. This 69-year-old male consumer (patient) reported that: Patient said he is a 69-year-old recently retired veterinarian, and he had the 2 COVID vaccines, the first one on 21Jan2021 and the second one 3 weeks later, 11Feb. After the first one she had no aftereffects not even swelling of his arm or pain, it was almost like getting water instead of vaccine. He got the second dose and about 30 hours after getting it he got dizzy for about 2 hours and it passed in about 2 hours and then everything was fine. Then about 5 days after the vaccination his tooth started hurting and the next day it was hurting more, and he called his dentist and made an appointment. Then yesterday which was about 7 days out from the vaccine he started running fever and every joint and muscle in his body ached. He couldn't get off the couch, he was nauseous he did not vomit, and he was still able to eat a little bit like soup and stuff. His temperature was up to 100.1 and he is normally about 97.6 his normal is not 98.6 like most people. He was running a fever all night long, he had chills and these chills, he didn't get the sweating like he usually gets it was just chills, he felt hot to touch but at the same time he had to put covers on. His sleeping was restless and this morning, things seemed good, his temperature was 99.3 so it has gone down about a degree, but he still feels under the weather, he does not want to do anything but lay on the couch. He is wondering can these things happen a week out from the second dose and he is wondering about the tooth if it was neuralgia, his tooth is 90% better today so he is wondering if the nerves were irritated. His dizziness was about 30 hours after the vaccine and lasted about 2 hours. He was not falling over but her felt wobbly so he sat down and waited to see if it would pass and after 2 hours it passed. The tooth pain started, he first noticed it about 4 days after the vaccine and it reached a crescendo about 7 days after the vaccine and it was super painful. Then he started running high fever, he did not take anything extra. He has arthritis and he is on something called Meloxicam, which is an NSAID, he takes that routinely if he was not on that his fever might would have been even higher so that temperature was without him taking anything extra. He did not take his Meloxicam this morning because he wanted an accurate reading on his fever.  He thought it was just the tooth, but he has infected teeth before, and it was a local thing with swelling around it pain whole system vaccine everything single muscle and joint in his body was sore. he could not sit up there was too much fatigue, it was not tiredness, he didn't want to sleep he just could not sit up, he was fatigued. He had an MRI same day as vaccine on his abdomen, so he was in that tube for over an hour or hour and 15 minutes he does not know if that had anything to do with it, they found lipoma in his spinal canal around level 1 he has to see a neurosurgeon for that. He takes Aspirin, every other day he takes 81 mg for varicose veins. His mother had phlebitis, deep phlebitis and she was on Coumadin for that. No further information provided. He says he has similar varicose veins but not as bad as his mothers. He also has an aortic murmur and mild stenosis. His cardiologist put him on the Amlodipine, and he is supposed to come back for another check-up, that is due in April, but she said it is just mild. Patient said he is a 69-year-old recently retired veterinarian, and he had the 2 COVID vaccines, the first one on 21Jan2021 and the second one 3 weeks later, 11Feb. After the first one her had no aftereffects not even swelling of his arm or pain, it was almost like getting water instead of vaccine. His card says Pfizer COVID 19 vaccine. For the first dose, it bad writing looks like EL or could be EC, but it looks like EL9261. No expiration dates or NDC numbers on the vaccine card. He provides adverse events that have occurred since the second dose of the vaccine, no further information regarding the second dose. He does not know the dose that was given. He knows they been using the humbles syringe so they don't have hub loss, that is so they can squeeze another dose of the vaccine out of the vial. He has read all about that, he does not know that is what they are doing but he knows about hub loss. He knows he used to have that problem with controlled substances with other type syringes you would have hub loss and over time you would say what happened to that 5ml of narcotic and they figured out it was hub loss and they switched over to the other syringes. It was something like 0.05 ml that you lose if you don't have the proper syringe. The outcome of the event he got dizzy for about 2 hours was recovered on an unspecified date in 2021, his tooth started hurting and he started running fever was recovering and all others events were unknown. Follow-up attempts are completed. No further information is expected.
