Symptom narrative

Covid-19; Covid-19; almost not breathing; This is a spontaneous report received from a Consumer or other non HCP from medical information team, Program ID. A female patient in her 50's received BNT162b2 (BNT162B2), as dose 1, single (Batch/Lot number: unknown) for covid-19 immunisation. The patient's relevant medical history and concomitant medications were not reported. The following information was reported: DRUG INEFFECTIVE (medically significant), COVID-19 (medically significant), outcome "unknown" and all described as "Covid-19"; RESPIRATORY DISORDER (non-serious), outcome "unknown", described as "almost not breathing". The event "almost not breathing" required physician office visit and emergency room visit. Therapeutic measures were taken as a result of drug ineffective, covid-19. Clinical course: Patient mentioned that she had a reaction with the Pfizer Covid-19 shot, and that was years ago when she was under 60 years old (she is now over 60 years old). She explained that when she received the Pfizer COVID vaccine years ago, she had to go to the hospital because she was almost not breathing. She said it was scary for her and they recommended not to get the second shot. So her doctor told her not to take the covid shot. She now has COVID and was prescribed Paxlovid. So now that she has Covid-19 and will be taking Paxlovid, she was wondering if she will have a reaction to the medication as well because she had a reaction last time with Pfizer covid-19 shot. No follow-up attempts are possible. Batch/lot number is not provided, and it cannot be obtained.
