Clinical narrative: COVID; COVID; This is a spontaneous report received from a contactable reporter(s) (Consumer or other non HCP) from medical information team. The reporter is the patient.  A 71-year-old female patient received BNT162b2 (BNT162B2), as dose 1, single (Batch/Lot number: unknown), as dose 2 , single (Batch/Lot number: unknown), as dose 3 (booster), single (Batch/Lot number: unknown) and as dose 4 (booster), single (Batch/Lot number: unknown) for covid-19 immunisation. The patient's relevant medical history and concomitant medications were not reported. The following information was reported: DRUG INEFFECTIVE (medically significant), SUSPECTED COVID-19 (medically significant), outcome "unknown" and all described as "COVID". The patient underwent the following laboratory tests and procedures: COVID-19: Unknown results, notes: When she got Covid, all of a sudden it came back, a twingy feeling under both arms.  Clinical course: Product names were, PAXLOVID and COMIRNATY. She did have some side effects after the Pfizer BioNTech Covid 19 vaccines, she received the first two initial doses as well as both boosters, and all shots were Pfizer. When she got the first vaccination she was fine. After the second vaccination, within 15 minutes or so she felt something itchy on the left underside of her arm. It was about a year and half ago in the winter and she was wearing a wool sweater and she's allergic to wool. She changed to a cotton sweater but the itching continued. It was a weird sensation from armpit to wrist on the underside. Its an unusual sensation, it feels like something under the skin like heebee geebees, creepy crawly sensations, like a mosquito bite but keeps spreading. Within two weeks she had the same feeling on the right side from armpit to wrist.  Its always been there but now its subsided. Now with Covid, it has reactivated and flared up again a little bit, now can deal with it. She has a lot of allergies, she used to get allergy shots a long time ago. With the  two boosters from Pfizer, she had the same tingly arm sensations but they were more mild but not as bad as the second shot. She became more accustomed to it and knew how to deal with it. She doesn't remember if vaccine was given on left or right side. While waiting after the injection she was fine but after she got in car, she felt weird little mosquito bite, and then started to grow. Sensation never went away 100% but subsided and got tolerable. When she got Covid, all of a sudden it came back, a twingy feeling under both arms. She takes no medications and is very healthy. Patient has been taking Paxlovid since Friday night and wants to know when she should take a Covid test to see if she is negative or not yet?  She started feeling really sick Thursday night so the next day she was able to get a script filled by Friday.  She states that the drug is really remarkable and started feeling better within a few hours.  It was almost like reversing a movie, then of course its only been since friday night, but she's been feeling really pretty good. She did have a little intestinal upset and a little metallic taste in her mouth but she said it was a small price to pay, and would be fine as long as she didn't eat. She thinks it worked so well because she started it right away. No question, was just reporting side effects to Comirnaty in new report because it is a separate AE from the side effects reported while taking Paxlovid.  Follow-up attempts are completed. No further information is expected.
