A 46-year-old female patient received bnt162b2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 mRNA VACCINE, Solution for injection, Lot Number: EN5318) via an unspecified route of administration in Arm Left on 05Feb2021 (at the age of 46-year-old) as 2nd dose, single dose for covid-19 immunization. The patient previously received first dose of bnt162b2 (Lot number: EL3248, Expiry Date: Unknown) administered in Arm Left on 14Jan2021 as single dose for covid-19 immunization. Medical history included high cholesterol and caller has been diagnosed for a long, long time.  It was hereditary. If she has to guess, it has been at least 12 years and hypothyroid has been diagnosed for maybe about a year. Family Medical History reported as none. The patient's concomitant medications were not reported. Consumer states that she had just takes her regular medications. Additional Vaccines administered on same date with the Pfizer vaccine considered as suspect reported as none. The prior vaccinations of the patient was reported as None. On an unspecified date, the patient experienced lymph node swelling, magnet sticks to the place she got the shot, achy and tired like she was getting the flu, huge lump in armpit and discomfort in clavicle. Consumer stated that she had both doses of the vaccine and she had lymph node swelling. She was discussed how a magnet sticks to her injection site, at which time she mentioned that this happened to other people. She would like to know what ingredient might be in the vaccine that would cause a magnet to stick to the place she got the shot. Caller adds she would have had no idea about it, she had no symptoms except where she put a magnet where they put her shot. It is in her clavicle in the armpit, left side, and that is the side she got the shot. It popped up within 36 hours after she got her vaccine on 05FEB2021. Caller states she is not a healthcare provider but that she works for a hospital, and later confirms that she is not a healthcare provider like a nurse, pharmacist, or physician. Caller states she reported this to her doctor right away when she had lymph node swelling, and her doctor sent her for ultrasound of clavicle. It came back negative for anything odd but she has lymph nodes on top of her clavicle that were not there prior. She has a golf ball size lump in her left armpit. She did read that was a possible normal reaction. She waited quite a while. Caller adds she got the vaccine around 1 o clock in the afternoon and that was 05FEB2021, her second one. She started not feeling well around the afternoon next day. She actually stopped working. She was achy and tired like she was getting the flu, but it went away quickly. Later that day, it was probably it might have been the next morning when she showered, she had a huge lump in her armpit. It was so uncomfortable in 24 hours period, it could have been swollen and she just did not know. Caller adds it was where she wears a seatbelt and stuff, where that was not there before.  One thing was she did have over 30 years ago, she broke her collar bone and she never had this feeling before or lymph nodes on top of it. Achy and tired like she was getting the flu, this went away as fast as it came, maybe 12 to less than 24 hours. Caller adds that with cholesterol, it was doing good and she did go off medications for a while and she did not think she was on the medication when she got the vaccine. She went to the physician office two days after the vaccine to tell the doctor about the swelling, and they went from there. Caller adds since they heard about the swelling, they were waiting for it to go away before they did tests. The patient underwent lab tests and procedures which included mammogram: normal and ultrasound scan: normal on 19May2021: clearly a lump there, ultrasound scan: normal on 27Apr2021: lymph nodes on top of her clavicle. The treatment was reported as none. The outcome of the events was unknown.  Follow-up attempts are completed. No further information is expected.
