On 03-Mar-2021, the patient received first dose of mRNA-1273 (Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine) (Intramuscular) dosage was changed to 1 dosage form. On 31-Mar-2021, received second dose of mRNA-1273 (Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine) (Intramuscular) dosage was changed to 1 dosage form.

In April 2021, the patient experienced VACCINATION SITE PAIN (Injection site stinging). In May 2021, the patient experienced HEART RATE INCREASED (Heart rate increased). In 2021, the patient experienced GASTRITIS (Stomach inflammation). In July 2021, the patient experienced INJECTION SITE PRURITUS (Injection site itching) and INJECTION SITE PAPULE (Injection site papule). On 20-Aug-2021, the patient experienced SYSTEMIC LUPUS ERYTHEMATOSUS (Systemic lupus erythematosus) (seriousness criterion medically significant). The patient was treated with OMEPRAZOLE ongoing since an unknown date for Acid reflux (esophageal), at an unspecified dose and frequency and CELECOXIB (CELEBREX) for Foot pain, at an unspecified dose and frequency.

On an unknown date, Endoscopy: inflammation in her esophagus and stomach. On an unknown date, Hepatic enzyme: Increased. On an unknown date, Magnetic resonance imaging: NECK MRI: disc in her neck that is out of alignment. For mRNA-1273 (Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine) (Intramuscular), the reporter did not provide any causality assessments. Patient was on a keto diet and tested negative for Sjogren's syndrome. Based on current available information and the temporal association between product use and the start date of the events a causal relationship cannot be excluded. On 31 Mar 2021, she received second dose COVID-19 Vaccine manufactured by Moderna, lot number unknown, expiration date unknown. The last time she donated blood, her heart rate was fast around 100. She had been monitoring this since May 2021. She developed severe foot pain while travelling. She took Celebrex and it helped. She did not want to stop taking Humira because it was helped her so much. She also declined to start taking medication to help with lupus symptoms.

It was unknown if patient was enrolled in a COVID-19 Vaccine Trial. In -Jul-2021 that last for four to five days she had a raised and itchiness on injection site on some instances of taking Humira. On 08-Jul-2021 she visit the neurosurgeon and discussed magnetic resonance imaging results. Patient saw chiropractor once every five weeks to re-align the neck last 20-Jul-2021. On 08-Jul-2021 she had therapy for degeneration on her neck. Going to the chiropractor somehow resolves most symptoms but those symptoms came back after every session.

Patient had received first dose 28 days prior to current vaccination. Patient also experienced non serious events of Fibromyalgia, vaccination site pain and injection site pruritis, gastritis. She visited her physician and had extensive blood work and x rays done. Hepatic enzyme test done was increased. Her physician diagnosed her with lupus and fibromyalgia. She experienced random symptoms that may be associated with her new diagnosis of lupus and fibromyalgia. Her physician thought it may be related to taking Humira. No further information on detailed clinical course, investigations, treatment of the events was available in the report. Outcome of the event was not resolved at the time of report. The benefit-risk relationship of mRNA-1273 is not affected by this report. Event seriousness assessed as per medical judgement.
