We reported 25 recipients (14 females and 11 males) aged from 18 to 65 years who unexpectedly received a primary dose of undiluted BNT162b2 vaccine (180 μg). The most common adverse reactions included injection site pain (n = 22), followed by fever (9), fatigue (8), chest tightness (6), and dizziness (6). The most common laboratory abnormalities were anemia (n = 4) and elevated liver transaminase level (4), followed by abnormal leukocyte counts (3) and elevated D-dimer level (3). The adverse reactions and laboratory abnormalities of these recipients were mild and spontaneously recovered within a few weeks. Significant elevations of anti-SARS-CoV-2 spike IgG titers after a booster dose of the BNT162b2 were found. Similar to reports of BNT162b2 clinical trials, the adverse reactions and laboratory abnormalities of these recipients were mild, and they spontaneously recovered within a few weeks. These results provide clinical and immunological effects of undiluted BNT162b2 vaccine inoculation.

Background And Objective: Yttrium-90 plays a significant role in managing drug-resistant inflammatory arthritis through radionuclide synovectomy, where the radioisotope is injected into the affected joint to alleviate pain and inflammation by targeting the synovial tissue. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of Yttrium-90 hydroxyapatite radionuclide synovectomy in improving joint functionality, as judged by physicians, in patients with inflammatory arthritis who had not responded to conventional treatments.

Methods: Patients with inflammatory arthritis were recruited from the orthopedics department and referred to the nuclear medicine department for evaluation.
