Symptom narrative

sore throat; This is a spontaneous report received from a Nurse from medical information team. A patient (age and gender not provided) received BNT162b2 omicron (lp.8.1) (COMIRNATY (2025-2026 FORMULA)), as dose number unknown, single (Batch/Lot number: unknown) for covid-19 immunisation. The patient's relevant medical history and concomitant medications were not reported. The following information was reported: OROPHARYNGEAL PAIN (non-serious), outcome "unknown", described as "sore throat". The information on the batch/lot number for BNT162b2 omicron (lp.8.1) will be requested and submitted if and when received. Additional information: Sore throat ever reported as a side effect of the COVID-19 vaccine? I know it could come from COVID itself, but I was wondering if the vaccine could have caused it.
