Symptom narrative

Very minor seizures; slight absent seizures; This is a spontaneous report received from a consumer. Other Case identifier(s): MOD-2025-790419 (Moderna), US-MO-MOC20251021000002 (Moderna), US-MODERNATX-MOC20251021000002 (Moderna), MOC20251021000002 (Moderna). A patient (age and gender not provided) received BNT162b2 (BNT162B2 NOS), as dose 1, single (Batch/Lot number: unknown), as dose 2, single (Batch/Lot number: unknown), as dose 3 (booster), single (Batch/Lot number: unknown), as dose 4 (booster), single (Batch/Lot number: unknown), as dose 5 (booster), single (Batch/Lot number: unknown) and as dose 6 (booster), single (Batch/Lot number: unknown), all intramuscular for covid-19 immunisation. The patient's relevant medical history included: "Epilepsy" (unspecified if ongoing), notes: Hadn't had a seizure in several years, about 8 years; "Handicapped" (unspecified if ongoing). The patient's concomitant medications were not reported. The following information was reported: PETIT MAL EPILEPSY (disability, medically significant), outcome "unknown", described as "Very minor seizures; slight absent seizures". The patient has received 6 doses and over a period since the Pfizer vaccine became available. The patient who has previously received Pfizer vaccines had epilepsy and handicapped (disabled) and had small seizures following the Pfizer vaccine. The patient had very, very minor seizures. It's just that, the patient hadn't had a seizure in several years, about 8 years. And when developed these slight absent seizures, they really don't amount to very much, but they would still like to avoid it. The doctor does give medicine to kind of calm down before the patient has the COVID-19 vaccine. They were hoping to get away from having to do that, so they wanted to find out about mNEXSPlKE availability in the area as well as whether mNEXSPlKE has to be refrigerated or frozen. No follow-up attempts are possible. Batch/lot number is not provided, and it cannot be obtained.
