Clinical narrative: lightheaded while working out; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable consumer (patient). A 69-year-old male patient received first dose of bnt162b2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE; lot number: EL3246, expiry date: unknown), intramuscular on 10Jan2021 15:00 at single dose (Arm Left; either deltoid or bicep, he is assuming it was his deltoid it was high enough) for COVID-19 immunization (65 and over). Medical history included ongoing Allergic to penicillin (discovered when he was a child), Food allergy (discovered when he was a child, allergy is mainly shellfish), allergy-induced asthma (diagnosed as a child). The patient's concomitant medications were not reported. The patient did not have additional vaccines administered on same date of the Pfizer suspect and no prior vaccinations (within 4 weeks). Vaccination Facility Type: patient stated it was like a drive-in clinic in a field. The patient got vaccinated yesterday. He felt lightheaded while working out today on 11Jan2021 (about 9-9:30 a.m, unspecified). It was also reported that the lightheadedness only lasted 30-40 minutes. He verified he has recovered completely from it. The lightheadedness happened specifically when he started using weights. He clarified further it was when he was using the cable machine, working with weights/resistance. He wasn't when he was doing cardio or stretching or working on his core. It was when he was using his cable machine which would include weights and he had to stop. It was stated tht he is looking at the risks and side effects on the fact sheet and it didn't say anything about lightheadedness, so he thought maybe he should report it. It's not on the list, but he doesn't know if its from the vaccine. He also noticed while looking at the fact sheet, where it says signs of a severe reaction, one of the signs is dizziness and weakness. He doesn't know if what he experienced was the same thing. He thought it was lightheadedness but he may have felt dizziness. He doesn't know. To him, it was more lightheadedness, but it could have been dizziness. He had to stop working out. He asked what happens now, if they will look into this. He is scheduled to have his second shot on 31Jan2021. He knows a few people who experienced pain and extreme tiredness after getting the second vaccine. He declined to complete a report in regards to these people, stating he just heard 2 other individuals both said after getting the second shot, they were experiencing a lot of pain, didn't feel good. Felt may be 75% for one day, that's all he knows. He asked if he should get the second shot or wait to hear from anyone. He doesn't know if the lightheadedness is a result of getting the shot or something else. Patient states the only thing the card says is the product name and manufacturer. He sees Pfizer and then EL3246. He is not sure if the second digit is the letter "L" or the number 6. This is what is handwritten. He doesn't see anything else on the literature of the card. No further information was provided or obtained. The outcome of the event was recovered on 11Jan2021.  Information about lot/batch number has been requested.
