Symptom narrative

cough; took his temperature and it was 100.1F; This spontaneous case was reported by a consumer and describes the occurrence of COUGH (cough) and PYREXIA (took his temperature and it was 100.1F) in a 78-year-old male patient who received mRNA-1283 (MNEXSPIKE PFS) for COVID-19 prophylaxis. The suspect product included Pre-filled Syringe injection for COVID-19 prophylaxis. Concurrent medical conditions included Cough (on and on since June, coughs at night) and Phlegm (prescribed him prednisone to help alleviate the issue.). Concomitant products included Prednisone for Phlegm. On 28-Oct-2025, the patient received dose of mRNA-1283 (MNEXSPIKE PFS) (Intramuscular use) .2 milliliter. On an unknown date, the patient started Pre-filled Syringe (unknown route) at an unspecified dose. On 29-Oct-2025, the patient experienced COUGH (cough) and PYREXIA (took his temperature and it was 100.1F). In October 2025, COUGH (cough) and PYREXIA (took his temperature and it was 100.1F) had resolved. DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS (normal ranges are provided in parenthesis if available): On 29-Oct-2025, Body temperature: 100.1 F. The next day, after receiving his vaccine, the patient started coughing (29-Oct-2025). He then added that when he got up, he took his temperature, and it was 100.1F. On 30-Oct-2025, he felt much better. He was not coughing, compared to the previous day when he was not able to talk because of the cough he noted that he did not cough at all during the call. The patient had been having a cough on and off since June, and he coughed a lot at night. He saw an HCP 3 weeks ago, who noted hearing phlegm and prescribed him prednisone to help alleviate the issue. He was in the study for the vaccine in 2020 and found out he had taken the real vaccine in the study. He had stuck to Moderna ever since. It was unknown if the patient experienced any additional symptoms/events. No treatment medication was reported. Reporter causality was not reported.
