Clinical narrative: Pain became bad; Pain in her left arm; Inflammatory reaction; This is a spontaneous report received from a contactable reporter(s) (Consumer or other non HCP) from medical information team. The reporter is the patient.  A 63 year-old female patient received bnt162b2 (BNT162B2), administered in arm left, administration date 27Apr2021 (Lot number: ER8732) at the age of 62 years as dose 2, single for covid-19 immunisation. The patient had no relevant medical history. There were no concomitant medications. Vaccination history included: Bnt162b2 (First Dose, Lot Number: EP7534, Expiry date unknown, Anatomical location: left arm), administration date: 02Apr2021, when the patient was 62 years old, for Covid-19 Immunization. The following information was reported: PAIN (non-serious) with onset 2021, outcome "not recovered", described as "Pain became bad"; PAIN IN EXTREMITY (non-serious) with onset 2021, outcome "not recovered", described as "Pain in her left arm"; INFLAMMATION (non-serious) with onset 2021, outcome "unknown", described as "Inflammatory reaction". The event "pain in her left arm" was evaluated at the physician office visit. Relevant laboratory tests and procedures are available in the appropriate section.  Additional Information: Caller is a 63 year-old female who received the second dose of the purple cap Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine on 27APR2021 in her left arm and a few days later started having complaints of pain in her left arm, it got better but than a month later the pain became bad. Caller reports that it has gotten better since then but still hurts at night. Caller reports that her HCP performed an X-ray on her left arm but the HCP did not see anything and wants to refer her to an Orthopedic HCP (Caller states that she does not want to go to one).  Caller states that she has read up on stuff online and that maybe the Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine was given too high and went into the bursa.  Caller is asking if there is any information about her above complaints after receiving the second dose of the Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine? Serious side effects that could cause a long-term health problem are extremely unlikely following any vaccination, including COVID-19 vaccination. Vaccine monitoring has historically shown that side effects generally happen within six weeks of receiving a vaccine dose. For this reason, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) collected data on each of the authorized COVID-19 vaccines for a minimum of two months (eight weeks) after the final dose. CDC is continuing to monitor the safety of COVID-19 vaccines even now that the vaccines are in use. After a Second Shot Side effects after the second shot may be more intense than the ones experienced after the first shot. These side effects are normal signs that the body is building protection and should go away within a few days. In the clinical studies, participants who received the vaccine were asked to complete diaries of their symptoms after vaccination (for both doses of the primary series). The median duration of those symptoms is described below by age group and by type of reaction; Local reactions are the ones you get on the arm where you got the shot (such as injection site redness and injection site swelling) or Systemic reactions, the side effects that you may experience throughout the rest of your body; including fever and chills. 4 Persons 18 Years and Older: Local reactions lasted between 1 and 2 days and systemic reactions lasted around 1 day.  Caller states that she got the second dose of the vaccine on 27Apr2021 and is still having some pain in her arm.  From what she has been reading she is thinking it might be from where they gave the shot up too high and she is having an inflammatory reaction. Caller states that her doctor did an x-ray that showed nothing.  Her doctor offered to send her to an orthopedic doctor, but the caller does not think she needs to go there. Caller is trying to see if other people have had this and maybe what they have done about it? : Caller states that the pain began probably a couple of days after her shot, which seemed normal. The pain seemed like it was getting better until about a month later. Then there was times when she would reach to get something and the pain would be really bad and almost put her on the floor.  Caller states that that part has gotten better.  She can feel the pain now during the day sometimes, but it is mostly at night that she feels it. The patient did not received any other vaccines within 4 weeks prior to the covid 19 vaccine. Relevant Tests: None  Follow-up attempts completed. No further information expected.
