Clinical narrative: face got very red; Fever; got a cough; Chills; little aches; slightly productive cough; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable consumer (patient) from a Pfizer Sponsored Program Pfizer . A 65-year-old male patient received first dose of BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, Solution for injection), via an unspecified route of administration on 14Jan2021 at single dose for covid-19 immunization. The patient medical history included Exposure to SARS-CoV-2 and concomitant medications were not reported. The patient received the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine on Thursday 14Jan2021. He felt great after receiving the injection, then got a cough and fever. On 18Jan2021 and 19Jan2021 he was around someone who was positive for COVID-19. On Friday 22Jan2021 he reported having chills, no fever, body aches and a slightly productive cough. On Sunday 24Jan2021 he checked his temperature and it was 99.5 F. He he took two tylenol and he had not had a fever since that time. Between Friday 22Jan2021 and today (25Jan2021) he had multiple (4) COVID-19 tests that all returned negative. He went to the doctor yesterday morning (24Jan2021) and started on steroids and an antibiotic. He was also reporting that his face was red this morning (25Jan2021) when he woke up. He wanted to know if he continued to be negative for COVID and these were side effects from the vaccine can he still received the second dose of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine. He was told by someone that if take a 'Regeneron Infusion for COVID' then he would have to wait 90 days to receive the next dose of vaccine, he asked was that true? He wanted to know if it's possible to have side effects a week after receiving the first dose of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine. He asked "Let's say I end up testing positive for COVID, do I still get the second dose of the vaccine? Let's say I do have COVID-19 that means I would have antibodies from that and then I would have antibodies from the first dose of the vaccine so would that mean that I'm covered and protected from COVID then?" He had taken a few Covid tests and all come back negative. Caller was wondering if this was just his body reacting to the vaccine. On 18Jan2021 and 19Jan2021 he came into contact with someone with Covid and on 22Jan2021 he took the Covid test. He said that he had chills that night 22Jan2021 and the next day 23Jan2021. He was told by the doctor to get the PCR test. He took the test in the morning and it tested negative 23Jan2021. That night he had someone came by his house and he took the test at 18:00 and took the test again at 20:00 at his doctors office. He said that all of the tests were negative. He said that he was testing so much so he could take the cocktail. The doctor prescribed Doxycycline Hyclate to take twice a day and prescribed Dexamethasone 6mg. He stated that his symptoms chills on Friday and Saturday and he had the start of a cough. He said that he had little aches on Saturday, but they were gone later that day. On Sunday morning (24Jan2021), he was prescribed these 2 things and by 11:00 had a fever of 99.5. The cough was not bad, and he had no aches. He took 2 Tylenol. He said that he took his temperature from 16:00 24Jan2021 Sunday until now, and he had no fever anymore. He would feel a little something in his cough, but it was getting better he said probably because of the medications. He stated that he got tested for strep, but had not received the results. He said that today his face got very red and it was red for about 1.5 hours, but was fine now.  He said that he wanted to know, Does the vaccine have some of the antibodies working at this moment? Due for his second dose 04Feb2021, if keeps testing Negative and the symptoms didn't come back does he still get the vaccine on 04Feb2021? If he does have Covid and has no symptoms does he take his vaccine on 04Feb021? If he tests positive and takes the Regeneron cocktail, does he have to postpone the the 2nd dose for 90 days? The outcome of events was unknown.  information about lot/batch number has been requested.
