Symptom narrative

Positive for COVID-19; Positive for COVID-19; This is a spontaneous report received from a consumer, Program ID: . An 80-year-old male patient received BNT162b2 omi xbb.1.5 (COMIRNATY (2023-2024 FORMULA)), as dose 1, single (Batch/Lot number: unknown) for covid-19 immunisation. The patient's relevant medical history included: "Brought COVID-19 home from the gym ", start date: 16Feb2024 (unspecified if ongoing). The patient's concomitant medications were not reported. Vaccination history included: Covid-19 vaccine (Primary Immunization series complete; unknown manufacturer), for COVID-19 immunization. The following information was reported: DRUG INEFFECTIVE (medically significant), COVID-19 (medically significant) all with onset 19Feb2024, outcome "unknown" and all described as "Positive for COVID-19". The event "positive for covid-19" required physician office visit. The patient underwent the following laboratory tests and procedures: SARS-CoV-2 test: (19Feb2024) Positive. Therapeutic measures were taken as a result of drug ineffective, covid-19. The patient's wife was to enroll the patient. A year ago, the physician prescribed nirmatrelvir/ritonavir (PAXLOVID) to patient in case they got it, but did not get it. Both the patient and wife have COVID-19, and they are currently sharing a box and the physician called in another prescription for PAXLOVID for both of them to take together. It was further reported that they got a box about a year and a half ago (2022) because they were going on vacation and then they didn't use it. And so, the patient brought COVID-19 home from the gym on Friday (16Feb2024). And so, on Saturday (17Feb2024), the patient's wife started to feel sick. Yesterday (19Feb2024), they took the test, and they were both positive so they shared the beginning of the first box and so by tomorrow night there will be like one sheet left. They were splitting the first box. By tomorrow (21Feb2024) after the morning dosage, only one of them would be able to go another day. This area was supposed to have really high COVID-19. Neither the patient nor his wife has ever gotten it. They' had all the vaccines, every single one of them.; Sender's Comments: Linked Report(s) : US-PFIZER INC-202500070647 Same reporter, product, and event; different patient;
