The patient was taking other medications within 2 weeks of the event starting. 12 Hours after getting the shot, patient felt a little chilly, but they weren't chills. patient took 1000 mg Tylenol at 8:30 pm and kept a heating pad on and off her for a couple of hours. The heating pad did the trick and soon she had taken off the warm pjs and just slept in lightweight ones. She didn't use the heating pad anymore after that. When the vaguely chilly chills started, she slowly developed a stiff neck and headache that the Tylenol didn't cure. Just a little tenderness at the injection site. The next morning, she felt headachey, stiff necked, really fatigued and no appetite. She took 1000mg Tylenol at 8:15 am. patient took only 500 mg Tylenol at 4:15 pm and then at 5:00 pm she felt just about normal again. Still no appetite but still a little of upset stomach. She felt all better by 9:00 pm. So side effects lasted 36 hours. The information on the batch/lot number for BNT162b2 omicron (lp.8.1) will be requested and submitted if and when received.
