Symptom narrative

my head feels hot after/ fever/ 102 on my head; hot flash; head feels hot; site redness; soreness in the arm; slight soreness; This is a spontaneous report received from a Consumer or other non HCP from medical information team. An adult female patient received BNT162b2 (BNT162B2 NOS), as dose number unknown, single (Batch/Lot number: unknown) for covid-19 immunisation. The patient's relevant medical history included: "immune system is damaged" (unspecified if ongoing); "asthma" (unspecified if ongoing); "allergies" (unspecified if ongoing). The patient's concomitant medications were not reported. Past drug history included: Chemo for cancer.The following information was reported: PYREXIA (non-serious), outcome "unknown", described as "my head feels hot after/ fever/ 102 on my head"; HOT FLUSH (non-serious), outcome "unknown", described as "hot flash"; FEELING HOT (non-serious), outcome "unknown", described as "head feels hot"; VACCINATION SITE ERYTHEMA (non-serious), outcome "unknown", described as "site redness"; PAIN IN EXTREMITY (non-serious), outcome "unknown", described as "soreness in the arm"; PAIN (non-serious), outcome "unknown", described as "slight soreness". Relevant laboratory tests and procedures are available in the appropriate section. Additional information: Caller is a consumer calling about the Covid-19 mRNA vaccine. The reason she is calling is because she is one of the most vaccinated people with the covid vaccine in her community. She tries to get a booster ever 4 months. She does this because she studied coronaviruses and said that she knows how they affect farms and run through them. She has never worked in a laboratory, but was paying attention in class to know how coronaviruses go through farms and how to manage them. She is also a cancer patient and has had Chemo and because of that her immune system is damaged. She tries to stay vaccinated, and said that she is at high risk and if she were to get covid she could die from it. The most recent vaccine she had was the Pfizer mRNA Covid vaccine and she had it 10 days ago. Usually when she gets a vaccine she can tell that she had it because her head feels warmer and she checks for fever, but does not have a fever, but her head feels warmer. Stated that she has had the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines and has not had any reactions to the vaccines. Every time I have been vaccinated for Covid, my head feels hot after; like I think I'm running a fever but then again maybe it is a hot flash. I am not sure so I use a thermometer that checks your forehead and I have the ear thermometer and so I check around and yes the inside of my head gets warmer but it's never like dangerously warm. I get up to like 102 on my head but my throat stays normal temperature, the surface of my head is normal temperature, my arm pits are normal temperature. It's just like my brain says oh, we gotta warm up here, and so I don't worry about it. It's just the normal way that my body lets me know that I've been vaccinated for covid. I have none of that this time. I didn't even have a site reaction. I am not having any symptoms like I have in the past - no fever, no slight reaction, no site redness, no soreness in the arm afterwards. I felt the needle go in my arm but no signs or indication that I got the vaccine this time. I would not put it past this current administration that I may have gotten just placebo - either to replace product with something that is water or tell somebody they were vaccinated when they weren't or tampered with the product." "In the past, I have run a fever with the Covid 19 vaccines. I had slight soreness previously as well. I have received the Pfizer mRNA Covid vaccine and I have received Moderna, whatever is available at the pharmacy. I probably have been vaccinated more than 10 times, possibly 15-16 times, since the vaccine became available, since my immune system is damaged. I understand how coronavirus immunity is only short term so I need to stay vaccinated up, because I am high risk to die if I catch Covid. I attempt to get a Covid booster every 4 months, but I don't always succeed, since sometimes the pharmacy does not have product. I also have asthma and allergies and can't get it if my immune system is having issues going on so have to wait until the asthma or allergy problem clears up. I had to wait 8 months before I got this one and maybe my body forgot how to react to antigens. No signs of vaccination this time (COMIRNATY (2025-2026 Formula)). My immune system is damaged but it is not gone. After I got the first COVID vaccine, I think it was in 2021, my primary care physician arranged for me to have the covid test to see if I have had covid, It showed I did not have covid but I did have immunity from the vaccine. I may speak with him again about this and get tested again." No follow-up attempts are possible. Batch/lot number is not provided, and it cannot be obtained.
