On 03-Mar-2021, the patient received first dose of mRNA-1273 (Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine) (Intramuscular) 1 dosage form. On 03-Mar-2021 at 4:00 PM,  after starting mRNA-1273 (Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine), the patient experienced HYPOAESTHESIA (Left arm started to go numb and within half an hour feet, hands, face, very numb and still hasn't, numb from the elbow to the fingertips and left side of the face and half an hour to get the right arm). On 04-Mar-2021 at 3:00 PM, the patient experienced NEUROPATHY PERIPHERAL (post viral neuropathy that was triggered by the vaccine) (seriousness criterion medically significant). The patient was treated with PREDNISONE for Peripheral neuropathy, at a dose of UNK, High dose. On 19-Mar-2021, HYPOAESTHESIA (Left arm started to go numb and within half an hour feet, hands, face, very numb and still hasn't, numb from the elbow to the fingertips and left side of the face and half an hour to get the right arm) had resolved with sequelae. At the time of the report, NEUROPATHY PERIPHERAL (post viral neuropathy that was triggered by the vaccine) had not resolved.        mRNA-1273 (Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine) (Intramuscular) dosing remained unchanged.

Patient demographics- height, weight, race and ethnicity, vaccine facility information, both events' onset date and time and treatment medications were added. Reporter's address, medical history including allergies, first dose vaccination date, concomitant medications, both events' outcome and reporter's causality were updated; Sender's Comments: Based on the current available information and temporal association between the use of the product and the start date of the event, a causal relationship cannot be excluded.
