Vaccine: COVID19
Symptoms: Injection site haemorrhage, Needle issue
Clinical narrative: Client received Pfizer Booster COVID vaccine (lot # FL3198, exp. 01/23/22) on 01/13/22 at SRPHC site. LVN noticed the needle was bent as she punctured the client?s skin with the needle of the Pfizer COVID vaccine. Without notifying the lead PHN or vaccine monitor, LVN used a new syringe with a Pfizer COVID vaccine dose and administered the Pfizer COVID vaccine dose to the client. LVN reported that the client's skin was punctured after slightly poking the skin and that she quickly withdrew the needle after observing that the needle was bent. There was a small amount of blood after the skin was punctured. LVN showed vaccine monitor PHN, the syringe with the bent needle afterwards and was instructed to apply safety mechanism and waste the Pfizer COVID vaccine in the syringe. PHN notified Lead PHN. Lead PHN was unable to assess client or educate client on the Pfizer COVID vaccine adverse reactions since client left the site before LVN notified lead PHN. PHN texted the Clinical Project Coordinator on how to proceed with this incident. Clinical Project Coordinator instructed to educate the vaccinator about elevating any needle or syringe issue to PHN lead in the future and to complete a VAERS and VERP for this incident report. PHN educated LVN to notify lead PHN anytime she has a needle or syringe issue so that lead PHN can make sure client and vaccinator are safe. LVN verbalized understanding.

Vaccine: COVID19
Symptoms: Back pain, Blood test, Gait disturbance, Inflammation, Loss of personal independence in daily activities
Clinical narrative: I developed nerve inflammation in my cervical vertebrae that radiated down my arm and resulted in trouble sleeping, performing work, and daily activities without great pain. I have never had pain from this region nor of this type before. After trying multiple NSAIDs and steroids, I was given an epidural injection that calmed down the inflammation. Additionally, approximately one month after my booster dose (Pfizer FF2588 received at Pharmacy, I developed somewhat similar extreme pain originating from my lumbar spine and radiating down my left leg with greater pain that caused me to be unable to walk more than 10 feet at a time. Again, tried NSAIDs, I had a cortisone injection in my knee (the place where the pain largely manifested itself) and nothing helped until I had two epidural injections (two locations) in my lumbar spine. Throughout this time, I was seeing my chiropractor 2-3 times weekly and he was not finding that my spine had changed or was experiencing major subluxations. I also had not sustained any injury. He shared with me that he has a patient who is a medical doctor and that person had said that he/she had noted some unusual, strong inflammation in patients after they received their Covid vaccine.

Clinical narrative: I am reporting on behalf of my sister. Her initial symptoms of swollen glands and fatigue occurred on 01/27/2022. The following days, she had a persistent high fever, some pain in her stomach (gallbladder/liver), went to urgent care, tested NEG for COVID (rapid) and was told to wait for PCR results as the said it had to be COVID.  About 5 days later, when her PCR came back negative, she was finally rushed to the ER - the fever seemed to be the biggest symptom. She had emergency surgery - removed her gallbladder (cholecystectomy);  went home less than 24 hours later. Woke up the next morning with a fever, very jaundiced, pain in her stomach & blood in her urine. She was admitted immediately upon arriving at the ER b/c she was as yellow as a banana. They tested her for everything imaginable, HIDA scan showed no blocked ducts, neither did the MRCP, but due to the fever, jaundice, and pain, they performed an ERCP, where they went in through her throat and found a tiny leak in a branch of a biliary duct, so they put in a stent. That didn?t help. Her bilirubin continued to climb, her red blood cell count & Hematocrit continued to tank, and her white blood cell count kept getting higher & higher. They tried to transfer her to a hospital with  liver specialists, but none had any beds.  Then her hemoglobin got so low, they had to do a blood transfusion x 2, and one more blood transfusion the next night. Currently, she?s got an extremely bloated stomach (Patient's tiny, but she?s got a ?gas baby?, I believe it?s called dis tension.) Her blood levels improved a little due to the transfusions, but the painful gas remains, she?s got swollen legs and feet, still jaundiced (though not as bad as before the transfusions). She?s so weak, but hasn?t had solid food in weeks. At one point, she had fluid around her lungs and in the space where her gallbladder used to be. Those issues resolved and returned. She had 2 days without a fever, but it came back during week 3. They?re treating her with steroids and an anti-viral b/c the only diagnosis they have is Epstein Barr (found in her liver biopsy). They say it?s the liver causing her illness, but don?t yet know if it?s an angry Epstein Barr virus ?awakening? or something else. (It seems very much like an auto-immune disease.)

She had emergency surgery - removed her gallbladder (cholecystectomy);  went home less than 24 hours later. Woke up the next morning with a fever, very jaundiced, pain in her stomach & blood in her urine. She was admitted immediately upon arriving at the ER b/c she was as yellow as a banana. They tested her for everything imaginable, HIDA scan showed no blocked ducts, neither did the MRCP, but due to the fever, jaundice, and pain, they performed an ERCP, where they went in through her throat and found a tiny leak in a branch of a biliary duct, so they put in a stent. That didn?t help. Her bilirubin continued to climb, her red blood cell count & Hematocrit continued to tank, and her white blood cell count kept getting higher & higher. They tried to transfer her to a hospital with  liver specialists, but none had any beds.  Then her hemoglobin got so low, they had to do a blood transfusion x 2, and one more blood transfusion the next night. Currently, she?s got an extremely bloated stomach (Patient's tiny, but she?s got a ?gas baby?, I believe it?s called dis tension.) Her blood levels improved a little due to the transfusions, but the painful gas remains, she?s got swollen legs and feet, still jaundiced (though not as bad as before the transfusions). She?s so weak, but hasn?t had solid food in weeks. At one point, she had fluid around her lungs and in the space where her gallbladder used to be. Those issues resolved and returned. She had 2 days without a fever, but it came back during week 3. They?re treating her with steroids and an anti-viral b/c the only diagnosis they have is Epstein Barr (found in her liver biopsy). They say it?s the liver causing her illness, but don?t yet know if it?s an angry Epstein Barr virus ?awakening? or something else. (It seems very much like an auto-immune disease.)

Clinical narrative: I am reporting on behalf of my sister. Her initial symptoms of swollen glands and fatigue occurred on 01/27/2022. The following days, she had a persistent high fever, some pain in her stomach (gallbladder/liver), went to urgent care, tested NEG for COVID (rapid) and was told to wait for PCR results as the said it had to be COVID.  About 5 days later, when her PCR came back negative, she was finally rushed to the ER - the fever seemed to be the biggest symptom. She had emergency surgery - removed her gallbladder (cholecystectomy);  went home less than 24 hours later.
