Clinical narrative: First dose: Redness in her eyes; First dose: Couldn't focus; First dose: Pressure behind left eye; Vertigo; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable consumer (patient). A 78-year-old female patient received bnt162b2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, solution for injection, Lot number: EL3248), via an unspecified route of administration, administered in left arm on 30Jan2021 at 14:30 (at the age of 78-year-old) as 1ST DOSE, SINGLE DOSE for covid-19 immunisation. The patient's medical history included ongoing glaucoma (had it for 7 years), ongoing hypothyroid (started 7 years ago). It took her 5 years to find the right doctor and the right medication. It took a while to balance it off. She has been okay the last 2 years with the right medication; asthma from 1969(controls her allergies, so it did not turn into asthma), ongoing high blood pressure (had it all her life), allergy to glycerin and ongoing vertigo (started way before she had the vaccine). Concomitant medications included ongoing irbesartan (AVAPRO) for high blood pressure (She just went back to it about a year ago because it was doing really good then her blood pressure spiked up) and ongoing levothyroxine sodium (TIROSINT SOL) for hypothyroidism for 3 years. The patient previously took flu shot and then had the flu and got pneumonia. On an unknown date, couple of days after the first dose the patient experienced redness in her eyes, about a week or 2 after the vaccination the patient couldn't focus. On 06Feb2021, the patient had pressure behind left eye and vertigo (vertigo). There were no relevant tests done. She was being treated for vertigo, but the vertigo was basically gone though she was seeing a physical therapist. The vertigo started way before she had the vaccine. The patient visited physician's office for the adverse events. The Patient did not go to the emergency room. The patient should have gone to the hospital, but she was afraid to be around people with Covid. She did not get vaccines at all because she fears having a reaction. The last vaccine she had in 2006 made her so sick she got pneumonia. It was for the flu, and she got the flu. The patient did not have any vaccination within four weeks prior to the first administration date of the suspect vaccine. The patient thought it was important for her to take the vaccine which it took her awhile to talk herself into it because of her previous experience with adverse reactions. She took levothyroxine sodium solution because the patient was allergic to so many things. The first one they gave her was a gel capsule and it caused an itching reaction. The patient is allergic to glycerine and could not take capsules that have a glycerine encasement. The first one they gave her was a gel capsule and it caused an itching reaction. She was allergic to the preservative in eye drops. She did not know if the Covid vaccine had any preservative, she did not think it did. She looked it up and did not see anything she was allergic to. The patient had a long list of allergies. Her family all has high blood pressure and allergies. The outcome of the event vertigo was recovered on an unknown date, for redness in her eyes was not recovering while unknown for rest of the event.   Additional details unable to be obtained.
