The following information was reported: PAIN IN EXTREMITY (non-serious), outcome "unknown", described as "sore arm"; ASTHENIA (non-serious), outcome "unknown", described as "down with energy". Additional information: It was reported that caller on the line calling about the Comirnaty previous formulation/Covid-19 vaccines and reported that she had MS for 30 years. She had 6 booster doses from Pfizer. She reported not having any problems and was doing well. She also reported that she had a flu shot type response with the Pfizer covid vaccines. She got her 7th booster dose from Moderna and the Moderna vaccine activated her MS and had to go on steroids due to complications. Her neurologist advised against getting another covid vaccine and that was 2 years ago. She is ambulant, but did not want to activate her MS and was wanting advice on whether or not to get the new vaccine. Her final booster was Moderna and it activated her MS. She did not have anything other than a response like she would have with a flu shot from the Pfizer covid vaccines and she was good with that. She was on a immunosuppressant at the time she had the Moderna vaccine. Caller said that she is not immunosuppressed, but is modulated. She clarified that she had a sore arm and down with energy a little bit for a day or so after receiving the Pfizer Covid-19 Vaccines. It was not a big deal and she does not see it as a negative at all.; Sender's Comments: Linked Report(s) : US-PFIZER INC-202500179079 same patient/SD/AE, different dose;US-PFIZER INC-202500179080 same patient/SD/AE, different dose;US-PFIZER INC-202500179081 same patient/SD/AE, different dose;US-PFIZER INC-202500179078 same patient/SD/AE, different dose;US-PFIZER INC-202500179048 same patient/SD/AE, different dose;
