On 11-Feb-2021, the patient experienced MALAISE (if he got up in the morning and felt pretty lousy, he was better by the afternoon) and IMMUNISATION REACTION (he did pretty good until 9 o'clock that night - that's when the symptoms started coming/he felt like he had been hit by a truck).

In 2021, PAIN (aching pain/it was bodily aches), ARTHRALGIA (terrible joint pains/body aches that started in his ankles and his knees), CHILLS (chills) and PYREXIA (fever) had resolved. At the time of the report, HEADACHE (headache) was resolving. For mRNA-1273 (Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine) (Intramuscular use), the reporter did not provide any causality assessments. It was stated that patient was on a mild blood pressure medication, a cholesterol medication, and a biosimilar to Humira (because he gets it for free), called Hadlima. Patient did not receive any vaccines within 4 weeks of receiving his doses of Spikevax NOS. It was stated that patient had 8 Moderna vaccines but provided the information for the first two as the symptoms only happened after the second one. He hasn't had symptoms since that second one. The patient was in pretty good health because of the medications he was on everything was in normal range. He didn't have any issues with those medications and that's why he could took the Moderna vaccine, because he had already had 8 of them. He worked at the hospital which gave him access to getting the COVID vaccines since he crossed paths frequently with COVID patients. The only vaccine he had a problem with was the second one out of all 8 of them. The second one was like a bus ran over him. It took him 24 hours to get over that one. He wasn't going to take Pfizer since he had 8 Moderna's and he has not had COVID. After his vaccine he had mild reactions to it headache, chills, fever, and body aches that started in his ankles and his knees. It was bodily aches. After his second dose, he felt like he had been hit by a truck. It was like all symptoms he gave (from his first vaccine) and multiply them by 100. It was pretty much like a bus ran over him. He could go to work if he didn't have a fever and didn't want to stay in bed. His symptoms from the second vaccine lasted 24 hours. He takes the vaccine in the morning so he would have taken it on the 11th in the morning and that he did pretty good until 9 o'clock that night that's when the symptoms started coming. All of them were pretty much the same, his symptoms didn't start coming on until 8 hours later. He would wake up with an aching pain, terrible joint pains, muscle pains, chills, fever. That was the only bad one (the second vaccine), the first one (vaccine) he endured pretty good. He just took it off and got up and went to work. The second one (vaccine), he could not go to work the next day and that was rare for him. The symptoms after his first vaccine lasted around a day. if he got up in the morning and felt pretty lousy, he would have been better by the afternoon. It was unknown if the patient experienced any additional symptoms/events. Treatment medication was not provided.
