On 14-Nov-2022, Polymerase chain reaction: Positive.     For mRNA-1273 BIVALENT .222 (MODERNA COVID-19 VACCINE, BIVALENT (ORIGINAL AND OMICRON BA.4/BA.5)) (Intramuscular), the reporter did not provide any causality assessments.

The patient was treated with DEXTROMETHORPHAN HYDROBROMIDE, GUAIFENESIN (ROBITUSSIN DM). The event Dysphonia outcome was unknown and other events were resolved. It was noted that patient received a dose with Pfizer COVID-19 approximately 10 months prior to current vaccination (Revaccination with different COVID-19 vaccine and interchange of vaccine products). The causality of the event of COVID-19 was assessed as not applicable, due to lack of biological plausibility. The events might be explained by COVID-19 pandemic outbreak.   Nurse who worked in the emergency room stated patients are getting the Moderna vaccine and coming in with more frequency than the Pfizer vaccines.; Sender's Comments: This spontaneous case concerns a 78-years-old male patient with no medical history reported, who experienced the unexpected non-serious event of COVID-19, Vaccination site pain and Dysphonia which occurred in context to fourth dose of mRNA-1273 bivalent BA.4/BA.5 vaccine.
