A 60-year-old female patient received BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 mRNA VACCINE),  via an unspecified route of administration, administered in left arm on 08Sep2021 (Batch/Lot Number: FC3181) (at the age of 60 years old) as dose 1, single for COVID-19 immunisation. The shot was given about 2:30 or 2:45, she had to work at 3 and she got it before she went into work. There were no medical history. Concomitant medications were patient's regular medicines that she takes every day. There was no history of previous immunization with the Pfizer vaccine considered as suspect, no  other vaccinations within four weeks prior to the first administration date of the suspect vaccine and no additional vaccines administered on same date of the Pfizer Suspect. On 15Sep2021, patient had no sense of taste, no sense of smell, diarrhea, nausea, a little joint pain and sweating all day, hot all of the time. On unspecified date in Sep2021, patient experienced breathes heavy and heart beats a little fast. The patient stated that she was having symptoms and it has been a whole week, and asked if she should take her next shot. She has no sense of taste, no sense of smell, nausea, diarrhea, pain, and tiredness. She never had these symptoms until a week after the first dose. Still nothing has changed, she still can't taste or smell, still has diarrhea and nausea, and has pain in the upper shoulder of her right arm even though she had her shot in her left arm. She also has shortness of breath and sometimes has fluttering of the heart like she was running fast. She was thinking maybe it would go away within a couple of days, but it has been a week today and she was still feeling these symptoms. She worked in a COVID facility for 2 years and never had symptoms and now all of a sudden things start to flare up and now her world was being destructed from the shot. She asked what can she do to get her sense of taste or smell back and stated sometimes she felt like she ran a marathon even when she was sitting down she was so tired. She developed symptoms exactly a week after she received the first dose. She clarified last Wednesday, 15Sep2021, she developed no sense of taste or smell. She had diarrhea and nausea and a little joint pain. She was sweating all day, there is no particular time of day it starts, she was just hot all the time. It's been exactly a week since these symptoms began. That is why she is so concerned about taking the second shot next week. Patient sometimes she breathes heavy and feels like her hearts beats a little fast, but all of that started after she got the shot. When her heart is beating fast, she just tries to relax and breathe slower. Her symptoms were bothering her. She got the Pfizer shot because she works in the hospital and it's mandated for all hospital workers. She clarified that she was referring to the COVID vaccine. She got the COVID shot 2 weeks ago and she is supposed to go back next week for her second shot. However, she developed symptoms a week after her first shot. She wanted to know if she should go back for her second shot if she is still dealing with symptoms from her first shot. Patient began no new medications within the 2 weeks leading up to her symptoms. She just takes her regular medicines that she takes every day. She was perfectly fine before the COVID shot. She explained she worked through COVID these last 2 years, she has been COVID tested 3 times and all three times she was negative. She has never had the cold, flu. But, as soon as she had this shot, a week after, her symptoms occurred. The events did not require Emergency Room nor Physician Office visit. She has been trying to wait it out, that's what everybody has been telling her, wait it out. The outcome of the events was not recovered.
