The patient's relevant medical history and concomitant medications were not reported. The following information was reported: MUSCLE CONTRACTIONS INVOLUNTARY (hospitalization) with onset 2023, outcome "recovered", described as "Muscle contraction".

The reporter's assessment of the causal relationship of "muscle contraction" with the suspect product(s) BNT162b2 omi xbb.1.5 was not provided at the time of this report. Since no determination has been received, the case is managed based on the company causality assessment. The information on the batch/lot number for BNT162b2 omi xbb.1.5 will be requested and submitted if and when received.; Sender's Comments: As there is limited information in the case provided, the causal association between the event muscle contraction and the suspect drug BNT162b2 omi xbb.1.5 can be excluded as there is no compelling evidence to implicate any relations, hence assessed as Unrelated. Other vaccinations and medical history should be confounding factors. The case will be reassessed once new information is available.
