Clinical narrative: tightening in his throat muscle; unable to move much; unstable blood pressure; unstable oxygen; bled due to blood thinner; weak in terms of walking; coughing; every joint and muscle from neck to toe in pain; every joint and muscle from neck to toe in pain; cold; entire body in excruciating pain; A bit off; Bruising in arm; A spontaneous report was received from a consumer concerning a 83-year-old male patient who received Moderna's COVID-19 vaccine (mRNA-1273) and experienced the following events: bruising in arm (contusion), a bit off (feeling abnormal), entire body in excruciating pain (pain), every joint and muscle from neck to toe in pain (arthralgia/myalgia), tightening in his throat muscle (throat tightness), unable to move much (hypokinesia), unstable blood pressure (blood pressure abnormal), unstable oxygen (oxygen saturation abnormal), bled due to blood thinner (haemorrhage), cold (feeling cold), weak in terms of walking (muscular weakness), and coughing (cough),   The patient's medical history included small cancer treated last year with 38 radiation treatments. No concomitant medications were reported.  On 11 Feb 2021, prior to the onset of the events the patient received their first of two planned doses of mRNA-1273 (lot/batch: 031620A) intramuscularly for prophylaxis of COVID-19 infection.  On 11 Feb 2021, the patient experienced little bruising in the arm. On 12 Feb 2021, the patient was a bit off.
