The patient's relevant medical history included: "congestive heart failure" (unspecified if ongoing); "sleep apnea" (unspecified if ongoing); "lost 80 pounds" (unspecified if ongoing); "Prediabetic" (unspecified if ongoing); "open heart surgery" (unspecified if ongoing).

The following information was reported: DRUG INEFFECTIVE (medically significant), COVID-19 (medically significant) all with onset May2021, outcome "unknown" and all described as "had covid twice/ First time got Covid was in May2021. It was the Pfizer COVID vaccines caller had prior to having Covid in May2021". The patient underwent the following laboratory tests and procedures: SARS-CoV-2 test: Unknown results, notes: doesn't know if did culture in petri dish. Swabbed nose. Therapeutic measures were not taken as a result of drug ineffective, covid-19. Clinical course: The patient inquired about the availability of a specific COVID-19 vaccine formula recently approved by the FDA. The patient started to state he was immuno, then stated he was at risk, congestive heart failure and old. He states he takes a handful of drugs for heart. He was prediabetic and cardiologist was having him take Zepbound, lost 80 pounds thus far, prediabetes disappeared, and sleep apnea had gotten better. The patient got Covid twice and had received both the Pfizer COVID vaccines and Moderna COVID vaccine. Not sure when got Covid, if before or after getting which vaccine, then stated it was a sufficient amount of time after. First time got Covid was in May2021 just prior to him having open heart surgery and he had a Pfizer COVID vaccines prior to it. He does not believe that getting Covid was a result of the vaccine at all, just got it. Second time he had Covid was probably about May2023 or Jun2023 and was after having Moderna COVID vaccine. Then he had Pfizer COVID vaccine subsequently. He had a total of two or three of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccines and one dose of Moderna COVID-19 vaccine.
