This 63-year-old female patient received first dose of BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, Solution for injection, lot number: EN6208 and expiry date was not provided), via an unspecified route of administration, in arm left, on 19Mar2021 at 13:10, as single dose for COVID-19 immunisation. Patient's medical history and concomitant medications were not reported. Patient reported that she got her first dose of the Covid 19 Vaccine on 19Mar2021, and she had side effects starting the night of 20Mar2021. That weekend she had all the side effects. She probably had Covid when she got the shot. She had all of the side effects, and they are the same side effects listed on the pamphlet. Her immune system is heightened, that's how her body reacts to it. Someone at work got Covid, and the patient tested positive for COVID on 31Mar2021 but it could be viral shedding. She was supposed to go for her second dose of the vaccine on Friday (09Apr2021) at 1 PM. She was better at this point, she still has a little cough from 25Mar2021. Her question is can she get the second dose on 09Apr2021. The Board of Health said she should go. She mentioned that she thinks she lost a half an inch as she was 5'5", she was shrinking. Patient had tiredness on 19Mar2021. Reported that her symptoms pretty much were tiredness. Her arms felt like they were 20 pounds, she was very lethargic on 20Mar2021. She had a slight headache and confusion, she was kind of foggy from 20Mar2021. A couple days after that, midweek she started getting a head cold and cough on 25Mar2021. She doesn't know if it was from the flu, a side effect, or Covid. She went to Urgent Care for her head cold on 27Mar2021 and they gave her a Z Pack and a medicine for cough. She still has a lingering cough. The Z Pack helped with the sinus infection. She tested positive after that. She is quarantining from (Name) and waiting to get her second shot. Stated that there was also a head cold going around her office, some people with Covid and some not. She doesn't know if this is a combo effect for her. She got the shot at 13:10 and went back to work, then she came home and went to sleep. She was tired the whole weekend. She didn't feel herself. Her head felt like a dull ache from 20Mar2021, maybe just foggy, she was not thinking clearly and was not herself. Really on Monday she went to work and still had side effects thinking it was from the shot because she was fine until she got it, but some people said she had Covid when she got the shot. It was reported that she had a negative Covid test that Sunday before. She gets a test every weekend so she can see her granddaughter. She has probably had 50 tests. She was very prone to negative tests, then all of a sudden after the vaccine everything was different. She doesn't know if it is Covid or a reaction to the vaccine. She had a positive rapid test on 31Mar2021, and the PCR on 01Apr2021 came back positive. They said it was viral shedding. She was starting to feel better. She was more tired than she usually is. Usually she only needs 3 or 4 hours of sleep. She works from home. She slept for 15 hours when she got off at 17:00, and she slept in. Now she sleeps a little more, probably what normal people sleep, so she is not as tired as she was. She is not back to 100 percent herself since she usually only needs 3 or 4 hours of sleep. She is tired at the end of the day. She can function and do her routine. She worked yesterday from 09:00 to 20:00. She came home and fell asleep. It is harder working from home with phone calls and emails, everything takes longer. She got it done and she can think straight. Most of her symptoms have subsided except for the cough, and even that is just here and there. It is not like she can't breathe or it hurts. Her headache is not bad, just a dullness that's gone. It was maybe 3 or 4 days through until Tuesday. Tuesday and Wednesday she was better and Thursday she got a head cold. She read that she can't get Covid from the vaccine, but it said all of these side effects could have come from the vaccine so she has no idea. The headache was like a fuzziness, a dull ache. She had sneezing on Thursday (25Mar2021) when she got the cold, then Friday 27Mar2021, she had a low grade fever. She went to Urgent Care on Saturday. At Urgent Care they didn't test her for Covid, but she had a 99.1 fever there and he gave her a Z Pack. They gave her some pills for the cough. They said the cough was from post nasal drip. She didn't know if it was or wasn't. Her lungs were clear, so they said the cough was from that. The Z Pack was from Saturday to Wednesday, it was a 5 day pill thing. She took her last pill Wednesday when she was taking the Covid test. She just has the cough now, she doesn't know if it was that or something else. The head cold went away Thursday or Friday. She doesn't know what the cough is from. She thought it was part of the cold and it started on Thursday. She didn't have a cough as a side effect, it started with the cold. She is nasally still, she can hear it. She had the fever maybe for a couple days, she could have had it and didn't know. She has recovered completely from it. She hadn't had Covid until she got the shot. It's been 3 weeks since she's been sick. She hasn't had any test other than the Covid test. She could feel it in her teeth.
