Most recent FOLLOW-UP information incorporated above includes: On 14-Apr-2025: Significant follow-up received: Case was upgraded to serious valid case from non-serious tracking only. Patient's age was added, medical history was updated, added lab data, suspect was updated to SPIKEVAX NOS, co-suspect details updated, additional concomitant medications were added, additional treatment medication was added, event COVID-19 was removed, additional events were added, and narrative was updated. On 15-Apr-2025: Live follow-up received contains non-significant information (reference number was added).; Reporter's Comments: Patients underlying condition in addition with infections with COVID-19 are confounders for Atrial fibrillation and Mitral valve incompetence. Headache is assessed as not related due to long latency and better explained secondary to Eliquis. The benefit-risk relationship of product is not affected by this report.
