The patient historical vaccine included first dose of BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 mRNA VACCINE, formulation: solution for injection, lot number: ER8732, expiration date: 02Jul2021), via an unspecified route of administration, administrated in right shoulder on 27Mar2021 (at the age of 78-years-old) as dose 1, single for covid-19 immunization at hospital and experienced muscle and joint pain. The patient did not receive any prior vaccinations within 4 weeks. It was reported that patient states he is calling regarding the Pfizer Covid 19 vaccine. Had both shots and had the second shot 8 days ago. After the second shot, the pain intensified in his joints, ankles, knees, elbows, and in both of his arms, especially in the shoulder. It even hurt in his back. Had talked to the representatives at where he had both of the shots. They said it was a normal reaction to have joint and muscle pain. When he asked them what he should take because he has arthritis, leukemia, glaucoma, and has had cancer, they told him to take Tylenol. Tylenol does nothing for him and he normally takes Naproxen. They told him not to take that. It is the only thing that helps the pain for his conditions. They told him to only take Tylenol and Aspirin which don't do him any good. They suggested for him to call this line to see if he could take Naproxen. Is a big person, but is not a person who normally has any type of pain like that. Back pain: Have had most of his life. Don't have much pain. He now really feels discomfort. Anything that ached before aches at a higher level now. Those are really the only symptoms. Has lots of friends that have told him all of the problems they had. He has had no problems at all  except for this. The pain is persisting. It has gotten worse since the first shot. Has been taking Tylenol which doesn't seem to do much of anything. When he does take it, he does notice less discomfort. Naproxen really does effect the pain and inflammation. All of the vitamins and supplements he takes are because he read this stuff is good for him to take. Mother died of old age. Didn't know father, think he dies from cancer. Family is rather large. All senior members dies of old age. Tylenol and Aspirin NDC, lot, and expiry not provided. The adverse events did not result in emergency room visit and physician office visit. The outcome of the events was unknown.  No follow-up attempts are needed. No further information is expected.
