A 47-year-old female patient received the first dose of bnt162b2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, lot number: EL9261, expiry date: not reported), via an unspecified route of administration, on 21Jan2021 at a single dose on the upper left arm for COVID-19 immunization. Medical history and concomitant medications were none. The patient reported she experienced these side effects after getting the first covid shot: hives all over her body (24Jan2021), top lip swollen (26Jan2021), tingling in her mouth (26Jan2021). She asked if she could still get the second dose of the vaccine. The patient called about the COVID 19 vaccine, she took it last Thursday (21Jan2021). She stated this is more for inquiry, but she was fine, she had no problems. However, on Sunday (24Jan2021), she woke up a little swollen, she didn't think anything, she thought it was allergies, but by the afternoon she had hives on her back and torso. Still, this was an afterthought. She thought it was maybe a delayed reaction. She was reading some symptoms, like red rashes and swelling, so she thought maybe it is, but she thought it was peculiar, since it was Sunday (24Jan2021), and she had the shot on Thursday (21Jan2021). On Monday (25Jan2021), it got worse, and she called the doctor that morning. To make sure, she had gone through different things, like it wasn't a different fabric softener, so she chalked it up to something like that, but where it was located on her body. On Tuesday (26Jan2021), she had a swollen lip, it was numb, and tingling the roof of her mouth, she had hives on both arms, hives on her back and hives going down legs, her arms were literally covered, nothing but hives, and she had hives on her neck and side of face, her upper lip was swollen, as if the dentist gave Novocaine, and she had tingling in her mouth. She went to the doctor as she was completely freaked out, since it was her whole body, and she almost couldn't feel like it was something else anymore. Her mouth and lip were swollen, and she had no change in diet. Her doctor gave her Prednisone, a steroid, to help with swelling. She looked it up and it said there was some cases where it could be an anaphylactic reaction, and the doctor did not recommend her to take the second shot, so she only received the first shot, and that is where she is. She started taking the steroid medication, it worked. A day prior to the report (26Jan2021), it calmed down, and at the time of the call she doesn't see it at all, no swelling or tingling of the mouth. She was taking Benadryl at night for comfort, so she feels like she is getting better, due to steroids, but it is unknown what would have happened without steroids. She stated she has had no reaction to any vaccine ever, she is almost never sick, had had no major illnesses, and this is out of the blue and peculiar. Outcome of the events top lip swollen/ swollen lip, tingling in her mouth/ tingling the roof of her mouth, her mouth and lip were swollen was recovered on 26Jan2021. Outcome of the other events was recovering.
