Therapeutic measures were taken as a result of systemic lupus erythematosus, lupus nephritis.; Sender's Comments: Based on available information and the temporal association, a possible contributory role of Comirnaty vaccine cannot be excluded for the reported events of "SYSTEMIC LUPUS ERYTHEMATOSUS " and "LUPUS NEPHRITIS ". The impact of this report on the benefit/risk profile of the Pfizer drug is evaluated as part of Pfizer procedures for safety evaluation, including the review and analysis of aggregate data for adverse events. Any safety concern identified as part of this review, as well as any appropriate action in response, will be promptly notified to Regulatory Authorities, Ethics Committees, and Investigators, as appropriate.
