A 67-year-old female patient received bnt162b2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 mRNA VACCINE), dose 1 via an unspecified route of administration, administered in Arm Left on 19Aug2021 in the evening (at the age of 67-year-old) (Lot Number: FD8448) as single dose for COVID-19 immunization.

She just felt sick all over. Then last day (30Aug2021) her other arm turned huge and red just like she had a bug bite. Added this was her lymphedema arm from having had breast cancer. States you can't find any bites or site that would have made her arm swell. When she spoke to the pharmacist he said you won't believe how many of these we are getting. Last night she had the headache again, it was not letting up; no matter what she eats or drinks it was not getting better. She was asking how long this was supposed to last. Added she had her grandkids last night, she was so sick with the headache she couldn't tend to them. Last night was the second time that the headache was that debilitating, she couldn't get out of bed. The patient didn't go to the doctor because she thought it would pass; and she won't go to the hospital because there was just too much stuff in there.
