sensorineural hearing loss; Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo; Cerumen impaction; Temporomandibular joint DISORDER; Presbycusis; INJECTION SITE PAIN; FEVER; FATIGUE; MYALGIA; HEADACHE; This solicited report received from a physician by COV19VAC-NONCOMP: Jansen COVID 19 Non Company Solicited Study. This report was referenced in literature: and concerned a patient of unspecified age and sex (subject number and site number were not reported). The patients height and weight were not reported. Age at time of vaccination was unknown. Aim- Anecdotal reports of sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) following COVID-19 vaccination have emerged in the otolaryngology community. Studies have demonstrated no association between COVID-19 vaccination and SSNHL. We aim to characterize the spectrum of otologic symptoms following COVID-19 vaccination. No past medical history, concurrent conditions or pre-existing medical conditions were reported. The patients received janssen covid-19 vaccine (suspension for injection, route of admin not reported, batch number not reported) dose, frequency and therapy dates not reported, additional dosage information included: dose series 1, for covid-19 prophylaxis. The batch number was not reported. The company is unable to perform follow up. No concomitant medications were reported. Methods- Patients presenting to the otology clinic at a tertiary care, urban medical center between May and July 2021 were screened with a short questionnaire for development of otologic symptoms following COVID-19 vaccination. Patients were inquired about previous COVID-19 infection, method and date of diagnosis if previously infected, COVID- 19 vaccination status, and vaccine brand and dates if vaccinated. Screened symptoms included hearing loss, tinnitus, ear drainage, dizziness, vertigo, imbalance, facial nerve palsy, smell change, and taste change; patients were specifically asked if such symptoms appeared during active COVID-19 infection or within 4 weeks of any dose of COVID-19 vaccination. Additionally, demographic data, including age and gender, were obtained. All above uses of patient data were approved by the Regulatory Authority. For patients reporting any otologic symptoms, a retrospective chart review was performed to collect audiometric data and final diagnoses. Audiometric data from the initial presentation were gathered and notes written by the primary otologist were reviewed for relevant medical history, diagnoses, and treatments. Pearson’s chi-square test was used to evaluate for significant differences in vaccination proportions. On an unspecified date, the patients experienced sensorineural hearing loss, benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, cerumen impaction, temporomandibular joint disorder, presbycusis, injection site pain, fever, fatigue, myalgia, and headache. Dose series 1. Results- Between May and July 2021, 500 patients were screened. Median age was 56.6 years old, with 59.4 % female and 40.2 % male. 420 patients (84.0 %) were vaccinated, with 58.4 % receiving Pfizer, 29.1 % receiving Moderna, and 3.8 % receiving Johnson & Johnson. 61 patients (14.5 %) reported one or more otologic symptoms within 4 weeks of vaccination, including 21 (5.0 %) with hearing loss, 26 (6.2 %) with tinnitus, 33 (7.9 %) with dizziness, and 19 (4.5 %) with vertigo. Of the 16 patients (3.2 %) reporting tinnitus with no associated hearing loss, 8 were diagnosed with subjective tinnitus and 4 were diagnosed with temporomandibular joint syndrome. Of the 18 patients reporting hearing loss, 11 had exacerbations of underlying pathologies (e.g. Meniere’s disease, presbycusis) and 7 were newly diagnosed with SSNHL (1.4 %). The action taken with janssen covid-19 vaccine was not applicable. The outcome of sensorineural hearing loss, benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, cerumen impaction, temporomandibular joint disorder, presbycusis, injection site pain, fever, fatigue, myalgia and headache was not reported. The reporter considered the causality between janssen covid-19 vaccine and sensorineural hearing loss, benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, cerumen impaction, temporomandibular joint disorder, presbycusis, injection site pain, fever, fatigue, myalgia, and headache as not reported. Company causality between janssen covid-19 vaccine and Vertigo positional, Cerumen impaction, Temporomandibular pain and dysfunction syndrome, Presbyacusis, sensorineural hearing loss, injection site pain, fever, fatigue, myalgia, and headache was not related. Conclusion- Patients reporting otologic symptoms following COVID-19 vaccination received various diagnoses of uncertain etiology. The incidence of SSNHL in these patients is comparable to the general otology patient population. Additional studies are required to determine the incidence of specific diagnoses following vaccination. This report was serious (other medically important condition).; Sender’s Comments: V0-Deafness neurosensory, Vertigo positional, Cerumen impaction, Temporomandibular pain and dysfunction syndromePresbyacusis. The event has an unknown/unclear temporal relationship, is unlabeled, and has unknown scientific plausibility. There is no information on any other factors potentially associated with the event. Therefore, the WHO Causality is considered indeterminate. The company causality is considered not related.

autoimmune disease; autoimmune disease with interstitial lung disease; This serious case was reported by a pharmacist via call center representative and described the occurrence of autoimmune disorder in a elderly female patient who received Herpes zoster (Shingrix) for prophylaxis. Co-suspect products included Herpes zoster (Shingrix) for prophylaxis. On an unknown date, the patient received the 2nd dose of Shingrix and the 1st dose of Shingrix. On an unknown date, an unknown time after receiving Shingrix and Shingrix, the patient experienced autoimmune disorder (Verbatim: autoimmune disease) (serious criteria GSK medically significant) and interstitial lung disease (Verbatim: autoimmune disease with interstitial lung disease) (serious criteria GSK medically significant). The patient was treated with rituximab (Rituxan). The outcome of the autoimmune disorder and interstitial lung disease were unknown. It was unknown if the reporter considered the autoimmune disorder and interstitial lung disease to be related to Shingrix and Shingrix. The company considered the autoimmune disorder and interstitial lung disease to be unrelated to Shingrix and Shingrix. Additional Information: GSK Receipt Date: 08-JAN-2025 Pharmacist stated she had a patient that completed Shingrix series in 2020. The patient had an autoimmune disease with interstitial lung disease and was receiving Rituxin infusions. Pharmacist stated she really was not sure if the autoimmune disease was present before Shingrix series was administered, but she thought it was a newer development as the Rituxin was new for the patient. The pharmacist could no longer recall the name of the patient, so she was unable to look in the patient’s records to locate the exact date of Shingrix doses. The only patient specific information the pharmacist could provide was that this was a female patient in her 80s. The patient decided to not receive any further Shingrix dosing. The pharmacist was inquiring about recommendations on repeating the series in patients receiving Rituxin, as the patient’s physician had mentioned finding guidelines that advised repeating. Following an internal meeting on 15-January-2025, it was realized that clarification was needed to determine if the autoimmune condition with interstitial lung disease was pre-existing, or occurred after the Shingrix series, so an outbound call was placed back to the pharmacist on 15- January -2025. The vaccine administration facility was the same as primary reporter.; Sender’s Comments: Autoimmune disorder and Interstitial lung disease are unlisted events which are considered unrelated to GSK vaccine Shingrix (Dose 1 & 2).
