Clinical narrative: a little cough; had a little sore throat; a little bit of an ear ache; he was tired; This is a spontaneous report received from a contactable reporter(s) (Consumer or other non HCP). The reporter is the patient.  A 47 year-old male patient received bnt162b2 (BNT162B2), administration date 17Aug2021 17:00 (Lot number: FD8448) at the age of 47 years as dose 1, single for covid-19 immunisation. Relevant medical history included: "Covid-19" (unspecified if ongoing), notes: Over a year ago. The patient's concomitant medications were not reported. The following information was reported: COUGH (non-serious), outcome "recovered", described as "a little cough"; OROPHARYNGEAL PAIN (non-serious), outcome "recovered", described as "had a little sore throat"; EAR PAIN (non-serious), outcome "recovered", described as "a little bit of an ear ache"; FATIGUE (non-serious), outcome "recovered", described as "he was tired". Additional Information: Reporter said that he wanted to report his side effects from the Pfizer vaccine, clarified to the COVID vaccine, and he wanted to ask if he should go to the hospital. He did not know what to do he would read information on the internet and saw his side effects and it said that they were normal. Also he had COVID over a year ago and these side effects were worse than the ones he had when he had COVID. He did not know what to do. Before he took the vaccine he was running 5 miles a day and now he had been having dizziness to where he felt like he was going to faint and he was having high temperatures. This had been the third day since the 2nd dose and he felt better today, but he was asking what he was supposed to do should he went to the doctor. He did not even had a primary care, he had never been to the doctor for anything but he thought that he may had to go now. He had never had more than a common cold and he just did not know. He was wondering if this stuff was ever going to go away. He did not know was it normal to had those for 3 days. He could not even go to work. He was wondering if he should see a physician and record this information in another way and not just on this report. He had the 1st dose at 5:00 at night and when he got home he felt tired and just went to bed right away. Normally he stayed up later than just 6:00 to 7:00. When he woke up he was tired. For those two weeks after the 1st dose he was tired, had a little sore throat, a little bit of an ear ache, a little cough. He was able to go to work and he felt like he was just getting sick but he never had a full blown sore throat, just a touch of one. He just didn't feel right and he thought that he just had the common cold after the 1st dose because it wasn't that bad but with the 2nd dose it ramped up on the following day about mid-day. He had never felt dizzy and passed out in his entire life, which was a little odd. He confirmed that he was still experiencing all of this side effects but they had improved some. When he got up this morning he figured he was going to be fine but he still felt dizzy. He was able to walk but he was a little dizzy and his high temperatures had went away. He was still having nausea and he still felt tired. It seems like from this morning he did not feel better than how he did when he woke up around 6:00 to 7:00 this morning. He was hoping that it all went away and he would feel normal tomorrow. Everywhere he read it said that he may had 2 to 3 days of side effects. Patient told he recovered completely from the side effects experienced after the 1st dose. He had those for a week to a week and a half and he didn't feel good but he definitely could function. He felt a touch of something and it had went away and then he felt normal. He had no problems. Then he had the 2nd dose and the 2nd dose really felt worse than having COVID. He might of gotten dizzy when he had COVID but it was not every time that he stood up to where he couldn't walk. He would sit down and then get up and be dizzy to where he couldn't walk and that went on for about 5 to 6 hours. He has never experienced anything like that in his life. He doesn't know what he should do, he is thinking that maybe he should go and get a full physical but then he read that it is normal and it is from the vaccine and so he doesn't want to hit the panic button and go to the emergency room if it's to be expected and maybe he should just wait a day or so.
