Symptoms: Electrocardiogram normal, Eye operation, Fatigue, Laboratory test, Nervousness
Clinical narrative: I've been in general good health for my age with the exception of my kidney disease but over the past few weeks, out of nowhere, a few days before Easter, I began to feel very shaky and have lost 7lbs in the past month. I went to see my primary doctor who thought it may be panic attacks since I was also experiencing fatigue and heart pounding. He prescribed an antidepressant but I didn't like that medication. I went to a cardiologist who looked at the recent full work up that was done prior to my recent eye surgery, and added thyroid function test and he informed me that my thyroid function was up and that I would need to see an endocrinologist. I have made that appointment and am waiting to see them.

Clinical narrative: Please note that the administration of the 4th vaccine was given at the pharmacy location being reported. We do not have detailed information regarding the vaccine series 1-3.   An intern used the incorrect size needle to administer the Covid vaccine to the patients listed on this report. The needle size used was a 5/8 inch needle, when the correct size that should have been used was a 1 inch needle. The correct dose was given to all patients. Based on CDC recommendations, there is no need to revaccinate any patient that was administered the dose in the wrong location; in this case the vaccine was given SubQ rather than intramuscular, based on the length of the needle. All patients were notified of this error and were given advise on what to expect. All patients were informed that no harm was done, the vaccine was still effective, and no additional dose is required based on CDC guidelines. As a result of these errors, reeducation was given to the pharmacy student, and the area within the pharmacy that contains all vaccination related supplied were relabeled to make it more clear for everyone administering vaccines.

Symptoms: Incorrect route of product administration, Wrong technique in product usage process
Clinical narrative: Please note that the administration of the 2nd vaccine was given at the pharmacy location being reported. We do not have detailed information regarding the vaccine series 1.   An intern used the incorrect size needle to administer the Covid vaccine to the patients listed on this report. The needle size used was a 5/8 inch needle, when the correct size that should have been used was a 1 inch needle. The correct dose was given to all patients. Based on CDC recommendations, there is no need to revaccinate any patient that was administered the dose in the wrong location; in this case the vaccine was given SubQ rather than intramuscular, based on the length of the needle. All patients were notified of this error and were given advise on what to expect. All patients were informed that no harm was done, the vaccine was still effective, and no additional dose is required based on CDC guidelines. As a result of these errors, reeducation was given to the pharmacy student, and the area within the pharmacy that contains all vaccination related supplied were relabeled to make it more clear for everyone administering vaccines.

Clinical narrative: I woke up that morning and noticed that I was having pretty severe discomfort under my left arm pit. Noticed there was a huge area of swelling and tenderness. Contacted the doctor and left a message with the nurse line. When the called me back, I told them I noticed some swelling in my lymph nodes under my left arm pit. They scheduled me for an appointment with the doctor. I saw her on May 3rd. She ordered bloodwork and an ultrasound on that area. May 4th, I went in for the urgent ultrasound. May 10th I received my report back from the doctor. Bloodwork came out fine. No elevated white blood cell count. No indication of an infection. Ultrasound report read as a cluster of lymph nodes 2.4 cm. Did not indicate anything concerning. My body might've been fighting something but they don't know. They will monitor it. I go back in August for another ultrasound and imaging. Since then, the swelling has gone down. No medication administered. Just warm compresses under the arm.
