The patient underwent the following laboratory tests and procedures: Cardiac stress test: Nothing wrong with her; Ventilation/perfusion scan: Nothing wrong with her. Clinical course: Third covid booster almost killed her . Reporter is a retired registered nurse. She called regarding the Covid Booster. She was a big person of vaccination and got everything. She got the first two vaccinations and it was wonderful. Then when boosters came out she got them. Confirmed as the Pfizer Covid Booster. Then more time went on. Being the foolish person she was, she thought she should keep up and got the third booster which nearly killed her and she was really whipped by this. She talked to her doctor they said same thing don't get anymore. She was calling because want someone at Pfizer to tell her why she was having these violent reactions to vaccination. Was it something she was allergic to in that she does not know about? The way it stood now was she cannot get another vaccination. It would put her at risk. Confirmed all of the boosters received were the Pfizer Covid Booster. Sometime 2021 -2024 had three boosters. Initially provided they were a minimum of 6 months apart. Initially confirmed events started. Third covid booster- Violently ill. She later clarified with the third booster it was so bad she had a fever. She was violently ill. She was whipped. She lives in a 2 story house. Her phone was downstairs and she crawled down the stairs and got to the phone and unlock the front door. She could not walk. She does not know how she crawled. She was really ill. Someone came to her house and got her to the couch. With all three episodes after getting the booster none lasted a huge amount of hours. For the most part she got the boosters in the morning. It's possible she didn't feel well during the day. She does not remember, but during the night was when it really got bad. This third time she fell out of the bed. It was frightening how ill she was. She talked to doctor about it and does not know what to do about this and covid scar as well. She does get other vaccinations. The First Pfizer Covid Booster was administered in her left arm, but she was not sure. She believes she got them all in her left arm. After providing the date of the third booster states, she thinks this is odd because if look at this not enough time between the two boosters. It's not very long considering had covid in there somewhere. Other conditions: Had a bad back, good heart and lungs. She had multiple stress test and lung scans. Nothing was wrong with her. She had back surgery a few years ago. Investigations: She just got ill and got over it. The next time she saw doctor or eventually saw her just said it was a bad reaction. No doctor had offered help. They just said do not get another booster, can take Paxlovid or something, maybe they know why having problems. Everyone else she spoke to only arms got sore after getting the booster. Felt should get boosters and it was important. She cannot risk being so ill.; Sender's Comments: There is not a reasonable possibility that the reported event near death was related to the suspect product event most likely due to patient psychological apprehensions   The impact of this report on the benefit/risk profile of the Pfizer product is evaluated as part of Pfizer procedures for safety evaluation, including the review and analysis of aggregate data for adverse events.
