The occurrence of additional non-serious events is detailed below. The patient's past medical history included Near death experience (tested for horses, collapsed when she was near one, died in process, they had to bring her back to life). Concurrent medical conditions included Allergic to horses (fatally allergic to horses), Hearing decreased (partially), Hearing aid wearer and Immunosuppression. In 2022, the patient received dose of SPIKEVAX NOS (SPIKEVAX NOS) (Intramuscular use) 1 dosage form. In 2023, received dose of SPIKEVAX NOS (SPIKEVAX NOS) (Intramuscular use) dosage was changed to 1 dosage form. On 08-Apr-2022, the patient experienced POST-ACUTE COVID-19 SYNDROME (long covid). In 2022, the patient experienced HYPOACUSIS (her hearing got back to the way it normally was, which was about only 72% of word recognition, but it went down to 40%) (seriousness criterion medically significant) and CONDITION AGGRAVATED (her hearing got back to the way it normally was, which was about only 72% of word recognition, but it went down to 40%/ condition aggravated) (seriousness criterion medically significant). On an unknown date, the patient experienced VESTIBULAR NEURONITIS (vestibular neuritis) (seriousness criterion medically significant). The patient was treated with Prednisone for Vestibular neuritis, at an unspecified dose and frequency and Nirmatrelvir, Ritonavir (Paxlovid) for Long COVID, at an unspecified dose and frequency. At the time of the report, VESTIBULAR NEURONITIS (vestibular neuritis) and POST-ACUTE COVID-19 SYNDROME (long covid) was resolving and HYPOACUSIS (her hearing got back to the way it normally was, which was about only 72% of word recognition, but it went down to 40%) and CONDITION AGGRAVATED (her hearing got back to the way it normally was, which was about only 72% of word recognition, but it went down to 40%/ condition aggravated) had resolved. Concomitant medication was not provided. Patient had the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine in 2023 and said it was fine. It was mentioned that she was partially deaf. She had been wearing hearing aids and had a CapTel phone for a long time because she uses the phone in work. After she had the shot and after she had long covid, she had a condition called vestibular neuritis where the nerve that goes from the ear to the brain was damaged. The words she would hear got to her brain garbled. She could not understand what people were saying. And then she went to an ENT doctor 2 years later, and the ENT gave her prednisone which decreased the inflammation of that nerve. So, then her hearing got back to the way it normally was, which was about only 72% of word recognition, but it went down to 40% during COVID. So, something affected her hearing, but it was back to where it was. While speaking to her she can understand because she can hear it. It was really kind of a non-issue, but she was affected either by covid or by the shot with her hearing. She had a Moderna COVID-19 vaccine in 2023, in 2022, she had all the ones she was supposed to, and it was always Moderna because she had always called about the gelatin. She was stuck with Moderna. Patient did not have the vaccine last year. She was very immune suppressed. it didn't kill her all the times she got the vaccine, and it could do her some good. Long covid happened after her first Moderna covid-19 vaccine, she contracted covid after the shot. It had been 3 years. It was a debilitating fatigue and vertigo. She had Sacro cranial treatment which helped and acupuncture. Sacro cranial helps unblock the lymph system, the lymph system can get blocked, and it takes the vertigo right away. Patient used LifeWave patches that help build your own stem cells and help the immune system. She had done a lot of things that had helped, but it was not easy to be like this. She had to pace herself every day and then she was okay.; Reporter's Comments: Patients hearing difficulties are confounder for the event hypoacusis (condition aggravated). The benefit-risk relationship of product is not affected by this report.
