Symptom narrative

he's got COVID/he got the Pfizer COVID shots and the booster; he's got COVID/he got the Pfizer COVID shots and the booster; he got the Pfizer COVID shots and the booster and they made him extremely sick; This is a spontaneous report received from a Consumer or other non HCP. An 84-year-old male patient received BNT162b2 omicron (lp.8.1) (COMIRNATY (2025-2026 FORMULA)), as dose 1, single (Batch/Lot number: unknown) for covid-19 immunisation. The patient's relevant medical history and concomitant medications were not reported. Vaccination history included: Bnt162b2 (Primary Immunization completed), for Covid-19 immunization; Bnt162b2 (DOSE NUMBER UNKNOWN (BOOSTER), SINGLE), for Covid-19 immunization. The following information was reported: COVID-19 (medically significant), DRUG INEFFECTIVE (medically significant), outcome "unknown" and all described as "he's got COVID/he got the Pfizer COVID shots and the booster"; ILLNESS (non-serious), outcome "unknown", described as "he got the Pfizer COVID shots and the booster and they made him extremely sick". Clinical course: The reporter stated the patient was at home in bed. The physician's assistant told them that now they're treating Covid like cold. The patient said, "I think I'll just give him hot chicken soup and Tylenol and treat things like an ordinary cold. I'm just not paying dollar 200 for this drug. We'll just forget all about it, and I won't pick up the prescription. Oh, well then I think he better not take it because he got the Pfizer Covid shots and the booster and they made him extremely sick, so I'd be a little hesitant for him to take drug." No follow-up attempts are possible. Batch/lot number is not provided, and it cannot be obtained.
