In March 2021, VASCULAR ACCESS SITE BRUISING (Bruising because of the blood extraction and recurred bruising because of the blood extraction with Humira) and VACCINATION SITE PAIN (Vaccination site sore) had resolved. On 04-Apr-2021, ALLERGIC COUGH (Allergic cough), SEASONAL ALLERGY (Spring allergy attack due to grass and flowers), MALAISE (Not feeling well), LYMPHADENOPATHY (Swollen glands) and FATIGUE (Felt tired) had resolved.

DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS (normal ranges are provided in parenthesis if available): In March 2021, Magnetic resonance imaging: abnormal (abnormal) Worsened Ankylosing Spondylitis, Degenerative Spine disease and Radiculopathy. In March 2021, Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex test: negative (Negative) Negative. In March 2021, X-ray: abnormal (abnormal) Worsened Ankylosing Spondylitis, Degenerative Spine disease and Radiculopathy. On 26-Mar-2021, Computerised tomogram: abnormal (abnormal) Worsened Ankylosing Spondylitis, Degenerative Spine disease and Radiculopathy.     The action taken with mRNA-1273 (Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine) (Intramuscular) was unknown.   For mRNA-1273 (Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine) (Intramuscular), the reporter considered VACCINATION SITE PAIN (Vaccination site sore) to be probably related and ALLERGIC COUGH (Allergic cough), SEASONAL ALLERGY (Spring allergy attack due to grass and flowers), MALAISE (Not feeling well), RADICULOPATHY (Radiculopathy worsened), VASCULAR ACCESS SITE BRUISING (Bruising because of the blood extraction and recurred bruising because of the blood extraction with Humira), LYMPHADENOPATHY (Swollen glands) and FATIGUE (Felt tired) to be not related.
