Clinical narrative: This is a spontaneous report from a contactable consumer (patient). A 82-year-old female patient received first dose of bnt162b2 (COVID-19 VACCINE, solution for injection, Lot Number: ER8737; Expiration Date: Jul2021, NDC number: Unknown), via an unspecified route of administration on 07Apr2021 (at the age of 82-year-old) at single dose for COVID-19 immunisation. Medical history included had headaches most of her life, she knew it was her cervical spine because of bone spurs, arthritis, and bulging disc; she has also had change in vision, she was coming down the road from seeing her cardiologist and was looking down the road, out of right eye the road continued straight, but out of her left eye it looked like the road was turning off to the left, it was actually going straight, her eye doctor had told her that her eyes were no longer compatible, she was having five prisms put in her glasses, the neurologist was concerned, the eye thing started four or five months ago; she had shrunk to 4 foot 10 inches or 4 foot 11 inches, she used to be 5 foot 2 inches and shrunk because she had osteoporosis. The patient's concomitant medications were not reported. Patient reported that she had diarrhea one day in Apr2021. She started coughing some yesterday (14Apr2021). Then she was coughing more a little later. That was not what she would normally do. 14Apr2021, she was moving her winter clothes out to her summer clothes. She worked for three to four hours. Then she got so sore and was hurting all over. She felt the same this morning (15Apr2021). She was wondering if muscle aches could be a part of it. She was really hurting last night (14Apr2021) all over. She woke up this morning and felt sore. She was better now. It was from the waist up to the rib cage and all the way around. It was general, all over. She felt so badly last night (14Apr2021) and didn't feel great this morning. Another reason she was calling was because she saw her neurologist three days before and he scheduled her for an MRI of her head and brain. She had the appointment for the MRI on the 21Apr2021. She had been told that particular test was a magnet test and not radiation. She wanted to make sure there was nothing in the vaccine. They were not sure what the vaccine was going to do. They were not sure what was dealing with. Diarrhea started a couple of days before in Apr2021 when she was out of town, just for one day. It had stopped, she had recovered completely from the diarrhea. Coughing started on 14Apr2021. It was kind of a deeper cough. She had a little coughing 15Apr2021, but mainly body aches that started late 14Apr2021. She hobbled around and went to bed and got up to go to the bathroom and was having a hard time walking because she was so sore on 14Apr2021. The soreness was all over the body. She was having the MRI on her brain and head because she had been having headaches in Apr2021. She has had headaches most of her life. She had seen him (neurologist) several years before. She knew it was her cervical spine because of bone spurs, arthritis, and bulging disc. The doctor said that was the reason for a headache, but this was a different headache. It extended from behind her eye on the left side to the back of her head. It came on suddenly and she would have it for two to three days. Then that side of the head when she was turning in the left direction was sore and hurts. The headaches that felt different had been on and off for the past several months. She would have them for 3 days running and then maybe get a reprieve. She didn't want to take the second vaccine and had that on top of each other with the MRI. She wondered if she could take the second vaccine a little later. She was not comfortable getting it around the same time of the MRI. The outcome of the event diarrhea was recovered in Apr2021, sore was recovering, outcome of the other events was unknown. No follow-up attempts are needed. No further information is expected.
