Symptoms: Gait disturbance, Hypertension, Pollakiuria
Clinical narrative: weakness; inability to rise; frequent urination; lack of taste for food/loss of sense of taste; inability to produce a bowel movement; inability to walk/inability to reach bathroom; blood sugar higher than normal; blood pressure higher than normal; This spontaneous case was reported by a consumer (subsequently medically confirmed) and describes the occurrence of GAIT DISTURBANCE (inability to walk/inability to reach bathroom), ASTHENIA (weakness), DYSSTASIA (inability to rise), POLLAKIURIA (frequent urination), AGEUSIA (lack of taste for food/loss of sense of taste) and CONSTIPATION (inability to produce a bowel movement) in a 66-year-old male patient who received mRNA-1273 (Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine) (batch no. 012A21A) for COVID-19 vaccination. The occurrence of additional non-serious events is detailed below.     The patient's past medical history included COVID-19 (10 day hospitalization and administration of oxygen therapy) on 01-Nov-2020. Concurrent medical conditions included Hypertension and Diabetes mellitus.    On 02-Mar-2021, the patient received first dose of mRNA-1273 (Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine) (Intramuscular) 1 dosage form. On 03-Mar-2021, the patient experienced GAIT DISTURBANCE (inability to walk/inability to reach bathroom) (seriousness criterion hospitalization), ASTHENIA (weakness) (seriousness criterion hospitalization), DYSSTASIA (inability to rise) (seriousness criterion hospitalization), POLLAKIURIA (frequent urination) (seriousness criterion hospitalization), AGEUSIA (lack of taste for food/loss of sense of taste) (seriousness criterion hospitalization) and CONSTIPATION (inability to produce a bowel movement) (seriousness criterion hospitalization). In March 2021, the patient experienced BLOOD GLUCOSE INCREASED (blood sugar higher than normal) and HYPERTENSION (blood pressure higher than normal). The patient was hospitalized from 03-Mar-2021 to 06-Mar-2021 due to AGEUSIA, CONSTIPATION, DYSSTASIA, GAIT DISTURBANCE and POLLAKIURIA, and then from 03-Mar-2021 to 06-Mar-2021 due to ASTHENIA. On 06-Mar-2021, GAIT DISTURBANCE (inability to walk/inability to reach bathroom) and CONSTIPATION (inability to produce a bowel movement) had resolved. On 24-Mar-2021, ASTHENIA (weakness), DYSSTASIA (inability to rise) and AGEUSIA (lack of taste for food/loss of sense of taste) had resolved. At the time of the report, POLLAKIURIA (frequent urination), BLOOD GLUCOSE INCREASED (blood sugar higher than normal) and HYPERTENSION (blood pressure higher than normal) outcome was unknown.        The action taken with mRNA-1273 (Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine) (Intramuscular) was unknown.       Concomitant medications were not provided by the reporter. Treatment History includes ER visit, hospitalization, IV fluids, IV medications, "injections for blood sugar", EKG, scope to check for blood clots, physical therapy.  Based on the current available information, a strong temporal association between the use of the product and the start date of the events, a causal relationship with the events cannot be excluded.  Causality for hypertension and blood glucose elevated is confounded the concurrent history of hypertension and diabetes mellitus; Sender's Comments: Based on the current available information, a strong temporal association between the use of the product and the start date of the events, a causal relationship with the events cannot be excluded.
