The patient received his first COVID-19 vaccine on 03Mar2021 and he was supposed to go in for his second dose on 24Mar2021 or 26Mar2021 or something like that. He missed his second COVID-19 vaccine. The week before his second dose was scheduled, he got bronchitis really bad, and his doctor advised him not to get the second COVID-19 vaccine until he was better from the bronchitis. He fought the bronchitis for 3 to 4 weeks. Clarified the date the patient was supposed to receive the second COVID-19 vaccine was 24Mar2021. He did go to the doctor, but he doesn't remember when. He reports he fought the bronchitis right up until the 18Apr2021 or 20Apr2021. At that time, he had recovered from the bronchitis. He adds the following in a historical context. He reports in 2019 he was coming back from and had to stop in. He was hospitalized there with Influenza Type A for 5 days. The Influenza Type A really hurt him, he thought he was going to die. When probing medical history and concomitant medications, he reported, he has a pacemaker, high blood pressure and he is a diabetic. He takes Metformin. He was unsure of the dose of the Metformin. He reports he takes 7 pills. He does not think his pills are relevant to the report. He reports the first time he went to his doctor he was prescribed a steroid and it didn't do anything. The patient does not know the name of the steroid. Product information, NDC/Lot/Expiry, including medication name not known by the patient. Then he went back to the doctor a second time and he was given an inhaler and that didn't work. The patient does not know name of the inhaler, he states it was a common name. The third time around the doctor gave him some pills that he was supposed to take one every day and a stronger steroid and that knocked the bronchitis out of him. His biggest concern was he did not know if he would have to start over with the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine or not. The patient would like to add that his wife said a lady that lives 6 miles from the patient received the Moderna vaccine and that lady died with a blood clot in her brain. He doesn't know her name. He knows people that have said the Johnson and Johnson vaccine had the blood clots and that scared people all the way around. He declines to file a safety report.
