Symptom narrative

103 fever followed by middle of the night awakening with prolonged disorientation and a stiff gait. At 3am, he believed it was morning (despite it still being dark outside) and got dressed to go run errands. Wife called 911 and he was taken to Hospital Center and admitted for stroke protocol. After CT scan and MRI confirmed no evidence of stroke, he was discharged and told the disorientation and gait issues were the likely result of an inflammatory response to the Moderna vaccine received the day prior. Prior COVID vaccines resulted in fever and body aches but no similar disorientation and gait issues.
