A female patient of an unspecified age received first dose of BNT162B2 (COMIRNATY, Solution for injection, Batch/Lot Number: FD8448, Expiry Date: Unknown) via an unspecified route of administration on 12Aug2021 (two weeks ago, Thursday) as single dose for COVID-19 immunisation. The patient medical history and concomitant medications were not reported. The patient stated that she had lots of side effects from the shot I had 11 days ago, she had got vertigo really-really bad to the point I can't even sometimes function and so bad two days ago, I can't even walk and my neck is been stiff had swelling and the chills and other symptoms when she first got it. Within two hours she began experiencing chills, aches, and pains, itching of my torso, and my left arm wouldn't raise up all the way (12Aug2021). And then around the same time she started getting stiff in her neck from below my lower left right ear down to the front of my collarbone (on an unspecified date in Aug2021); was really painful and then she started sleeping all the time (on an unspecified date in Aug2021), and I got vertigo (on an unspecified date in Aug2021) that just kept getting worse instead of better. And by the seventh day she could barely move her neck at all, was having trouble balancing or walking because of the vertigo. By the eighth day I couldn't walk. The neck wasn't quite as bad; the vertigo was still there. The stiffness, she had uncontrollable bowel movements (on an unspecified date in Aug2021), got shortness of breath (on an unspecified date in Aug2021), confusion, feeling like she was going to pass out (on an unspecified date in Aug2021), she could not concentrate (on an unspecified date in Aug2021). And just walking to the bathroom she felt like she ran five miles and am out of breath, her torso was still itching but not as bad. The patient questioned how long does this last and do you know there on the CDC website in their website it does not say anything about. How long it last or what going on with it? Does this someone percent reported it? she stated that she did not have a doctor, and everyone, including the vaccination provider keeps referring her back to her doctor. And then she was told to call Pfizer, she does not have insurance and asked if Pfizer was going to cover the costs of her medical care, she declined contact information for Pfizer Legal, stating she would call back another time when someone can write it down for her since she cannot concentrate well right now, she asked if she should get the second dose of the Pfizer Covid-19 Vaccine after experiencing these side effects after the first dose. The patient was instructed that as noted in the Fact Sheet for Recipients, she should not get the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine if she had a severe allergic reaction after a previous dose of the vaccine or if she had a severe allergic reaction to any ingredient of the vaccine. The decision to receive the second dose for any other reason cannot be made by Pfizer. They referred her to speak to your healthcare provider about the risks of the vaccine compared to the risks of potentially not being fully protected against COVID-19 infection. her healthcare provider knows your health situation and has access to information that could better help inform this decision. The patient explained that those were the only reference numbers she has but she has filed a report with Pfizer specifically, she filed a report with everyone. When providing the spelling to her name, she missed to speak a letter and remarked she was sorry, she has some confusion. The patient took treatment with Benadryl and it let off some of the symptoms (unspecified). And today (on an unspecified date in 2021) she felt a little bit better as far as most of the symptoms (unspecified) but the vertigo keeps coming on, she was scared to drive, was still having aches and pains. The event of feeling like I was going to pass out was considered as Serious (Medically Significant). The outcome of the events aches, and pains was of not recovered, i have got vertigo really-really bad/this vertigo just keeps getting worse was not recovered, the outcome of events my neck is been stiff/i started getting stiff in my neck from below my lower left right ear down to the front of my collarbone, i can't even walk/i couldn't walk, swelling, chills was of recovered on an unspecified date in Aug2021, The outcome of events feeling like i was going to pass out, itching of my torso, left arm wouldn't raise up all the way, shortness of breath, confusion, i couldn't concentrate, uncontrollable bowel movements, started sleeping all the time was unknown.
