A 73-year-old female patient received bnt162b2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 mRNA VACCINE, solution for injection, Batch/Lot Number: 9269, Expiration date: unknown), dose 1 via an unspecified route of administration, administered in Arm Left on 04Feb2021 13:00 (Thursday) (at the age of 73-year-old) as dose 1, single for COVID-19 immunization. The patient medical history was none (Patient History: No). Concomitant medication(s) included ciclosporin (RESTASIS) taken for Dry eye syndrome from an unspecified start date (started this years ago) and ongoing. The patient previously took Prolia for osteoporosis on 04Jan2021, a month ago. She gets it twice a year for osteoporosis, but that was out of the two-week mark. More than a month before her dose of the vaccine. Patient stated that, she felt severe pain that travelled from her head down to her body and wanted to know if she will experience the same reaction after the 2nd dose. Patient again stated, had her first COVID Vaccine last week and called to report her bad reaction. She did not have an allergic reaction or illness, it was pain. It was very painful. She had lots of aches and pains over her life, but she had never experienced anything like this. Stated that almost immediately she got a headache (04Feb2021). It got bad as the evening progressed, but she was able to sleep. The next morning, she got up around 7 and felt better until around 10 and then all of a sudden out of the blue it hit her really hard. She had the headache, and the pain spread as the day progressed. It went from her head to her ears, neck, back, and then late in the afternoon it hit her knees (05Feb2021). Her knees were so bad she could barely make it to the bathroom. It was severely painful. She was frightened. It really scared her. She had no idea what was going on or what was going to happen. She still was able to sleep again that night. She still has a headache. Other than the headache, she was better, and had two questions: what will this happen again if she takes the second vaccine, if she does not take the second vaccine, will be her coverage, have any protection and what will happen. She had recovered completely from everything besides the headache, but it had improved. Treatment was None. She had not taken anything. In all the info she had read, it was recommended not to take pain pills or unnecessary medication during this time. So, she had not. Even though by now she would think it was okay. She was expecting no reaction as for her age group, out of her friends and family she was the healthiest person she knows. There was no investigation assessment. The outcome of event headache was recovering and recovered for other events on an unspecified date in 2021.  Follow-up attempts are completed. No further information is expected.
