Therapeutic measures were not taken as a result of pneumonia, atypical pneumonia. The reported seriousness of the adverse events was non-serious. He was transferred because he was hospitalized due to Pneumonia and was trying to find some info about Prevnar 13. Term was highlighted by the reporter as YES, highlighted by the reporter, serious. Reporter was a customer but was teaching right now. Initially was asking about Prevnar 20 from a local commercial. They received the first and second doses of the COVID-19 vaccine. Patient was hospitalized with pneumonia twice and had a history of COPD. He was asking about Prevnar 20 because he was hospitalized for pneumonia twice. He did not receive Prevnar 20. He also asked about the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine for the new booster because he wanted to receive the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine new booster. Then he got the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine booster as 3rd dose on 23Dec2021. Patient experienced felt like he has walking pneumonia. He really wanted to report that he was hospitalized for Pneumonia but was previously given Prevnar 13. Patient clarified information above.  He did not have a reference number for previous report.  He talked to a pharmacist originally and talked for 20 minutes and she talked to the nurse in Drug Safety and got her caught up.  He confirmed that he never received the Prevnar 13. He was calling to ask about Prevnar 20 and confirmed he had not received either. Almost 3 years ago, he was hospitalized with Pneumonia. 2 years and 2 months ago hospitalized with Pneumonia. Got a feeling he has walking pneumonia now. He was trying to wait until end of school year, end of Nov2022, to see if he needed to get into the hospital again. His teaching contract ended then and was in a different country, so he does not want to have to go to the hospital there. He had 2 Pfizer injections for COVID and got Moderna booster and now really hoping that Pfizer booster that was out that tackles the variants. He called about this Prevnar 20, because he saw a TV commercial. He had Pneumonia in Dec2019, prior to getting Pfizer COVID-19 Vaccine. Had open heart surgery in Mar2020. In 24Apr2021, he received first Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine. Second Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine given on 15May2021 Lot number- ER9449. Received booster 23Dec2021 that was Moderna Lot number- 00582114 or 00SH2114 was unsure.  Expirations were unknown. He had pneumonia before COVID even started and was in the hospital with it. Not going to blame it on the vaccine.  Few weeks ago was when he felt like he may have walking Pneumonia.  He confirmed he has not received any medical treatment.  COPD - was a smoker and gave that up 9 years ago.  Was diagnosed 2 year ago, prior to getting the vaccines. COVID-19 has done a number on him for dates. He felt like he lost 3 years of his life.  He confirmed he never had COVID-19 virus. He does a facemask and a face shield when he goes out, because he works with children. He never got a reference number because he got disconnected.  He never knew that Prevnar existed until today and was just curious.  He confirmed that he felt like he had walking Pneumonia now.; Sender's Comments: Linked Report(s) : US-PFIZER INC-202201236865 similar report from same reporter;
