Upon receipt of follow-up information on 25Jan2021 this case now contains all required information to be considered valid.  This is a spontaneous report from a contactable consumer. A 51-year-old female patient received bnt162b2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, solution for injection, lot number: EL3247, expiration date was not reported), via an unspecified route of administration on 19Jan2021 17:45 at single dose on the left arm for COVID-19 immunization.

The patient previously took Hep B and experienced fever, flu like symptoms, achy, and lethargic (no issue with the first 2 doses but with the 3rd dose she had a high fever); MMR and had an adverse reaction. It was reported that the shot was given on 19Jan2021. She experienced the following severe dizziness which started that day (17:45) and lasted 3 days. It has resolved. Nausea which started that day (17:45) and stayed constant for 3 days. Now it has only been happing in the late afternoons or evenings. Light headed which started that day and last 3 days. Headache (17:45), the initial headache felt like her whole head was going to explode into a 1000 piece. Now it just starts about 4-5pm in the evening. It was better and not as severe but like a migraine with nausea (17:45), feeling crappy (17:45), and body aches. Body aches which started on the day of the shot (17:45) and lasted 3 days. Fatigue which started on the day she got the shot (17:45) and was ongoing in the evening now chills and sweats which started on the day she got the shot and was ongoing. Her husband asked about if this was being related to the change of life but she doesn't think so. Fever which happened on the day she got the shot (17:45) but not at the site, later that night and was 105.00 with Tylenol. It has resolved. She noted that her blood pressure tends to be low but was 95/81 at the time she got the shot (17:45). The patient has not taken her blood pressure and does know if this has resolved. It was relayed that she took Tylenol and Benadryl before the shot due to her history and was still taking it as treatment for the symptoms. She has a lot of drug and other allergies, the only that was anaphylaxis was bees and egg. This was why she brought 2 EpiPens when she had the shot. She didn't have to use her EpiPen and was really proud of that but did have some reactions.  The patient reported she did not go to the doctor. At this point she was somewhat expected that she had a not great reaction so the fact that she could still breath after getting it was a good thing. She also noted she could not have driven home due to dizziness. The patient was not brought to the emergency room and did not went to a physician's office. The patient has an ongoing medical history of Crohn's disease and reported that yesterday (as reported) started a flare up but she was not sure if this was related to the vaccine use.
