First vaccine on 1/16/2021, I experienced some numbing of my limbs (arms and legs). It was random and typically didn't last too long (except one time in my left arm that was quite dramatic and I took Bayer aspirin immediately) but was definitely not a normal experience in my body.  After the second vaccine on 2/15/2021, the next day, I had the expected fever (100.1 to 100.9) throughout the next 2-days, along with no appetite, energy, or strength. I expected it to dissipate but by day 3 & 4, I felt even weaker and more exhausted. As the days turned into weeks (5+ weeks now), I've experienced severe exhaustion needing to sleep most days 9-13 hours, consistent numbness in my arms (con't next page) and some w/legs, blurry vision, and very unbalanced. I went from walking several miles a day to barely being able to walk a few blocks due to unbalance, weakness and being out of breath. This has gone on for over 5-weeks now. It feels like I am a long-hauler but without having had Covid. I've always been sensitive to drugs, expected to have a reaction, but never imagined something like this would go on for so long.   During this period, I had two Covid tests on March 1 and March 10. Both were negative. The week of March 8, I came down with a good old fashioned cold. PCP asked for the second Covid test and chest x-ray (all clear) on March 10. PCP did lab work on March 5. Everything showed as "unremarkable".
After first dose on 9-16-22 (FL2757) and also second dose on 10-14-22(FT1551) pt suffered from near blackouts and dizziness.
Day of injection 1/11 Injection site: immediate pain. Within 2 hours, itching began  Around 6pm: chills, injection site, redness, swelling, pain, heat, itching and burning sensation   1/12 Injection site: increased swelling, redness, heat, pain, itching and burning.  Fatigue, dizziness, lightheaded, headache, muscle and joint pain (especially left shoulder, neck, lower back and hips) chills at night  1/13  Injection site: continued swelling, redness, heat, pain, and burning. Increased itching Chills at night  1/14 Injection site: slightly less swelling, redness, heat, pain, and burning (burning only with muscle use). Increased itching  1/15 Injection site: reduced swelling redness, heat, pain, itching and burning
The next day couldn't move the arm; Injection site it was sore; The muscle pain went to the back of the neck, to the back muscles; This spontaneous case was received on 18-Oct-2023 from other non-healthcare professional (consumer) via Regulatory Authority (reference number: SEQW23-03524) and concerned a 72-year-old, female patient.  The patient had no relevant medical history. The patient's concomitant medications included gabapentin, atenolol, levothyroxine, omeprazole, unspecified multivitamin, magnesium, and calcium, all used for unspecified indication.  On 14-Oct-2023, the patient was vaccinated with Fluad Quadrivalent (influenza vaccine inact sag 4v; dose: 0.5 ml, route of administration and anatomical location: not reported) for influenza prophylaxis. The batch number was not reported.  On the same date, after receiving Fluad Quadrivalent, the patient's injection site was sore. During that night, the patient reported that it was hard to sleep because it was extremely sore and painful.  On 15-Oct-2023, reported as the next day after receiving Fluad Quadrivalent, the patient couldn't move the arm.  On an unspecified day in Oct-2023, an unknown amount of time after receiving Fluad Quadrivalent, the patient experienced muscle pain.  On 16-Oct-2023, it improved a little bit, but the muscle pain went to the back of the neck, to the back muscles. The patient took gabapentin as usual, also used ice and heating pad.  At the time of initial reporting, the patient was recovering from the events of 'vaccination site pain' and 'mobility decreased', and had not recovered from the event of muscle pain. As reported, at the time muscle still were painful.  The reporter did not provide causality assessment.  The case was assessed as non-serious.  Company comment: A 72-year-old patient experienced vaccination site pain on the same date, after receiving the suspect product Fluad Quadrivalent. Thereafter, within four days after vaccination, the patient developed decreased mobility and myalgia. Based on suggestive temporal relationship and the absence of confounders, causality for the event vaccination site pain is assessed as probably related. Causality for the remaining events (decreased mobility and myalgia) is assessed as possibly related, due to plausible temporal relationship,; Sender's Comments: A 72-year-old patient experienced vaccination site pain on the same date, after receiving the suspect product Fluad Quadrivalent. Thereafter, within four days after vaccination, the patient developed decreased mobility and myalgia. Based on suggestive temporal relationship and the absence of confounders, causality for the event vaccination site pain is assessed as probably related. Causality for the remaining events (decreased mobility and myalgia) is assessed as possibly related, due to plausible temporal relationship,
COVID 19 vaccine administration error.  Moderna first dose COVID19 vaccine given on 05/22/21.   on 06/19/21 Pfizer COVID 19 vaccine was given as a 2nd dose in error.  Dose 2 should have been moderna.
05/14/2021 after the vaccination in the after noon I started to experience a bad headache and a fever of 104-105 right after, and felt generally awful, I had everything that is listed on vaccine symptoms, I was sick to my stomach, sinus congestion that came 48 hours afterwards, and the symptoms did not go away for 72 hours approximately. These symptoms included sinus drainage and I also extreme pain in my ears that felt like a double ear infection. I never lost my sense of taste or smell and these symptoms continued even after my doctors visit. I then sought out care from my primary care who set me up with an antibiotic, azithromycin. 24 hours after starting the azithromycin my symptoms began to lessen dramatically. I did stop taking my Adderall during this time since I was not in need of doing anything. I was also prescribed Allegra in case it was allergy related and it only was taken once. Symptoms had been completely gone slowly afterwards. I did come down with in May a terrible stomach pain/bug very unexplainable. My family and I came down with Omicron this past February, and we have all been fine since.
I started having severe abdominal pain nausea, I was out of town. I went to the local emergency room; once in the started running test. I had a CT scan, urine culture, urinalysis, CBC and CHEM20. The results showed I have kidney stones and a torn right fornix kidney from the stone. I am currently being treated for the kidney stones.
Today,  January 6th,  one week after I had first vaccine, I noticed  that the area of the injection is red, swollen and a little itchy.  The redness is probably around 2 inches in diameter.  Immediately after the vaccine, my arm was sore for about 2 days. I'm just noticing the swelling and redness today- perhaps because I can feel it.

This case was reported in a literature article and described the occurrence of encephalitis in a 64-year-old subject of unspecified gender who was vaccinated with tetanus toxoid, DTPa (with small D &P), (manufacturer unspecified). Concurrent medical conditions included high cholesterol and smoker. On an unspecified date, the subject received an unspecified dose of DTPa (with small D & P) (administration site and route unknown, batch number not provided). 3 days after vaccination with DTPa (with small D & P), the subject experienced encephalitis and acute disseminated encephalomyelitis. This case was assessed as medically serious by GSK. At the time of reporting, the outcome of the events was unspecified. The author considered the events were unlikely to be related to vaccination with DTPa (with small D & P). This case has been linked to case B0739797A: same literature article. Summary of the literature article: In 2004 the Clinical Consult Case Review (CCCR) working group was formed within the CDC-funded Clinical Immunization Safety Assessment (CISA) Network to review individual cases of adverse events following immunizations (AEFI). Cases were referred by practitioners, health departments, or CDC employees. Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) searches and literature reviews for similar cases were performed prior to review. After CCCR discussion, AEFI were assessed for a causal relationship with vaccination and recommendations regarding future immunizations were relayed back to the referring physicians. In 2010, surveys were sent to referring physicians to determine the utility and effectiveness of the CCCR service. CISA investigators reviewed 76 cases during 68 conference calls between April 2004 and December 2009. Almost half of the cases (35/76) were neurological in nature. Similar AEFI for the specific vaccines received were discovered for 63 cases through VAERS searches and for 38 cases through PubMed searches. Causality assessment using the probably related, 16 as possibly related, 18 as unlikely related, 10 as unrelated, and 17 had insufficient information to assign causality. The physician satisfaction survey was returned by 30 (57.7%) of those surveyed and a majority of respondents (93.3%) felt that the CCCR service was useful. The author's conclusion stated that the CCCR provides advice about AEFI to practitioners, assigns potential causality, and contributes to an improved understanding of adverse health events following immunizations.
