On 04-Feb-2021, HYPOAESTHESIA ORAL (it was like if periaureal area felt some numbness) and VACCINATION COMPLICATION (there was no visual swelling just the feeling of swelling and numbness) had resolved. At the time of the report, ANGIOEDEMA (Allergic reaction with angioedema secondary to IM drug and Covid-19 vaccine) and PRODUCT DOSE OMISSION ISSUE (Second dose not given) outcome was unknown and FLUSHING (Flushed), HYPERHIDROSIS (Sweaty), HYPERSENSITIVITY (possible allergic reaction) and HYPOAESTHESIA ORAL (the top of her lip was numb) had resolved.

For mRNA-1273 (Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine) (Intramuscular), the reporter did not provide any causality assessments.   Follow up received on 13-May-2021 was significant and included the completed VAERS form. The new events of missed second dose of covid-19 vaccine, angioedema, allergic reaction, flushing, sweaty, numbness top lip were added and medical history was updated.  On 04-Feb-2021, it was reported that the patient developed perioral swelling and numbness that came on approximately fifteen minutes after receiving her first covid-19 vaccine.

Company comment This case concerns a 79-year-old female with a serious unexpected event of angioedema and nonserious hypersensitivity, hypoaesthesia oral, flushing, hyperhidrosis, vaccination complication, and product dose omission issue. Latency within 1 day after mRNA-1273 dose. Based on current available information and temporal association between the use of the product and the start date of the event, a causal relationship cannot be excluded.   Most recent FOLLOW-UP information incorporated above includes: On 13-May-2021: Follow up received included the completed VAER form and medical records from the emergency department.
