A 19-year-old female patient received BNT162b2, BNT162b2 omi ba.4-5 (BNT162B2, BNT162B2 OMI BA.4-5), on 25Mar2023 as dose 4 (booster), single (Lot number: GL0447) at the age of 19 years, in left arm for covid-19 immunisation. The patient's relevant medical history was not reported. There were no concomitant medications. Vaccination history included: BNT162b2 (DOSE 1; Lot Number: EW0196), administration date: 30Jun2021, when the patient was 17-year-old, for COVID-19 immunization, reaction(s): "Very high fever", "Pain in her arm", "Hot", "Flush", "Hard for her to move it (arm)"; BNT162b2 (DOSE 2; Lot Number: EW0181), administration date: 21Jul2021, when the patient was 17-year-old, for COVID-19 immunization, reaction(s): "Very high fever", "Pain in her arm", "Hot", "Flush", "Hard for her to move it (arm)"; BNT162b2 (DOSE 3 (BOOSTER); Lot Number: FM9992), administration date: 06May2022, when the patient was 18-year-old, for COVID-19 immunization, reaction(s): "Very high fever", "Pain in her arm", "Hot", "Flush", "Hard for her to move it (arm)". The following information was reported: PYREXIA (non-serious), outcome "recovered", described as "Very high fever; between 102 and 104; fever of around 103; 105"; PAIN IN EXTREMITY (non-serious), MOBILITY DECREASED (non-serious), outcome "unknown" and all described as "Pain in her arm; very hard for her to move it; having a more of extreme pain in her arm"; FEELING HOT (non-serious), outcome "unknown", described as "Hot"; FLUSHING (non-serious), outcome "unknown", described as "Flush". Relevant laboratory tests and procedures are available in the appropriate section. Therapeutic measures were taken as a result of pyrexia, pain in extremity, mobility decreased. Additional Information: She is healthy, no other medication. The patient has taken the Comirnaty vaccine (Pfizer COVID-19 Vaccine) before or the Boosters (Pfizer COVID-19 Vaccine) and they said that every time she takes the vaccine, she gets a fever of around 103 and she was always in pain, her arm. So, the patient's mother wanted to go ahead and report that. The patient has been taking the Pfizer vaccine since COVID began, when they first started in Jun2021, but every time that she has ever gotten the vaccine, she has gone through very high fever. The highest that she got, she was at 104 and it's two days in bed. Even with naproxen or paracetamol (TYLENOL), the pain in her arm never ceased for the whole two days. It's very hard for her to move it and the patient's mother massaged it as gently as she could, not really pushing, just trying to make her feel better kind of thing. When they came home from getting the vaccine, she was generally okay at first and then a couple of hours will go by and then the patient started getting really hot and flush and her arm would hurt a lot more than the patient's mother. She was having a more of extreme pain in her arm and to the mother's memory it was always in her left arm but the fever that she would get ranged somewhere between 102 and 104. She did go to 105, but the mother was able to get it down pretty quickly when she gave the patient TYLENOL. So, within half an hour she got down, but the fever has held on for a while. She was feeling tortured basically by getting the vaccine, but the patient's mother had autoimmune diseases, so the patient knows that she has to take it. Financially, the patient is now in a different situation, she is currently 21 but she is in an appointment where they are not giving her medical insurance. So, she has no coverage, and she was trying to figure out, do they really fight to try and find help for her to getting the Pfizer vaccine or should she change vaccine at this point because this is what's happening every time the patient gets home.; Sender's Comments: Linked Report(s) : US-PFIZER INC-202500167445 Same patient and product; different event and dose;
