A 89-years-old female patient received bnt162b2 (BNT162B2), dose 1 via an unspecified route of administration, administered in Arm Right on 28Jan2021 (Batch/Lot Number: EL9265) as SINGLE DOSE for covid-19 immunisation. Medical history included A Fib, the patient had a light stroke in Apr a year ago, and she was put on another medication that did not agree with her. But caller has been on Eliquis for over a year now. Her eyes are so bad that she does not read a lot. She has allergies, and the 1 degree fever is normal with her allergies. Concomitant medication(s) included apixaban (ELIQUIS) taken for blood disorder from an unspecified start date and ongoing; metoprolol (METOPROLOL) taken for atrial fibrillation from an unspecified start date and ongoing; losartan potassium (LOSARTAN POTASSIUM) taken for blood pressure abnormal from an unspecified start date and ongoing; acetylsalicylic acid (BABY ASPIRIN) taken for an unspecified indication, start and stop date were not reported. The patient had been on this product for years, more than two years for her heart, for the A Fib. She has been on Losartan potassium for years. The patient stated she is 89 years old, received the first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine on 28Jan2021. She said she didn't read the Fact Sheet until last night and went through the list of side effects of the vaccine. She explained that on Friday and Saturday, her 'nose ran all day and night too' of a 'clear liquid'. She added she had a sore throat. She said she had no fever or chills but had a temperature at '98.3', which is a fever for [her]' because 'at 97 that's [her] normal'. She added she 'developed a dry cough, not an allergy cough like having mucus in [her] throat'. She pursued saying she 'doesn't know about the shortness of breath' and sometimes she 'feels a little tired' but isn't sure if it's related to the vaccine, due to her age. She said regarding headaches, she thinks it was 'not a bad headache' because '[she] remembers putting something on her head'. She added she 'had some congestions so [she] took an allergy pill'. She lastly described she had 'trouble sometimes with nausea' but did 'not vomit' and had no 'diarrhea'. She then said she is concerned with her 'clear runny nose' and her 'dry cough', which she also qualified as 'out of the ordinary'. She then mentioned that last night, her room was 'too cold' and therefore she had a 'scratchy throat and the sinuses came'; she said she took a sinus pill. She asked if it is normal to experience a 'clear runny nose' and 'dry cough' after the receipt of the COVID-19 vaccine. Caller asked if she should receive the second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine after her reaction to the first dose. Caller explained that while having her symptoms she was exposed to her son who will get married "on the 28th". She expressed her concern on potentially being infected with COVID and its impact on her son. She asked if you can get COVID from the COVID-19 vaccine. She also asked if she should get tested for COVID given her experience. Caller had her first dose of the COVID vaccine on 28Jan2021. By Friday night, caller had a dry cough, was tired, had a little headache, and a runny nose. Caller is wondering if she had a light case of COVID but caller is hesitant to leave her home to go to the doctor's office for a test because of the cold weather. Caller had her first COVID vaccine on 28Jan2021 at pharmacy and caller stated that the Pharmacist said that she might gets chills and kind of like a fever, but caller did not get that. But, caller states that a couple of days after receiving the vaccine, caller looked at the facts sheet that had been given to her. Caller states that she didn't previously read the facts sheet, until last night, as her eyes are so bad that she does not read a lot. Caller states that she has had a 1 degree fever, but she has allergies, and the 1 degree fever is normal with her allergies. Caller states that her fever is 98.3, so it is not considered a fever really, but she normally runs 97 degrees. Then caller states that few nights ago, Friday night maybe, she got a dry cough, no mucus, just a dry cough, and she coughed for a couple hours but she was in bed, as it was nighttime. Caller states that she was also tired for a few days, as she is 89 years old. But caller states that she is in reasonably good health, and she lives alone and takes care of herself. So caller just had the tiredness and had a little headache, but she did not lose her taste or smell. Caller states that she had a sore throat, and some congestion, and her nose ran for two days. Caller states that her nose was running like clear water for two days, and then it just stopped. Caller states that it is cold and the weather is bad where she is, so she thinks her allergies are acting up again. Caller states that she is wondering if she had a light case of the virus and overcame it, or she is seeking advice about if it would be necessary for her to go out and get tested. Caller states that she can't tell if she got the virus or not, and she does not want to drive and go out in the cold to see her doctor. Caller states that a telehealth appointment is not possible because she got a new laptop but she does not like it, so the laptop is all wrapped up and set aside ready to be returned to (courier name). Caller states that she has two sons who could come over to help her with a telehealth appointment but she does not want them to get COVID, if that is what she has. Caller states that she is also concerned because her granddaughter is getting married on the 26th, and she does not want to give anyone COVID. Caller states that the symptom that really got her was that she had clear water running from her nose for two day and then just stopped, as the caller does not get this symptom with her allergies. Caller also has the sore throat. Caller is wondering if these could have been a side effect from the vaccine. But to be honest, caller thinks that what she has now, she is pretty sure is just her usual allergies. Caller states that she has just been staying home so that she would not get the virus, and so far so good. Caller just keeps herself busy around the house. Caller had no other vaccines on the same day as the COVID vaccine. Caller states that she has A Fib, but she has not been to her doctor in over a year because of the Virus she has not gone out. But caller states that she has not felt bad or anything, she just has not kept up with her yearly visit. No Investigation Assessment. Outcome of the event nose ran all day and night too of a clear liquid was recovered and outcome of all other events was unknown.
