Clinical narrative: I woke up in the middle of the night after receiving the 2nd round of the shingles vaccine with chills and felt feverish. When I got up in the morning, I felt flu like symptoms - general malaise, nausea, and feverish. Throughout the morning it got worse and by about noon I was lightheaded and unable to work. I clocked my fever at 101.1. I took a nap and took some aspirin and my fever was gone by about 3-4pm that day. I was tired and still felt flu-ish the rest of the evening but after sleeping through the night I felt fine the next day. The site of the vaccine shot (upper left arm) was very red, felt warm and hard, and had raised red welts around it, about 1" plus radius around the injection for the first day. The second day the shot site was red and warm and tender but clearly improving. It remained warm and red/slightly swollen for two more days. I also had a reaction after the first round of the shingles vaccine that was similar, but quite a bit more mild. I didn't notice anything besides soreness at the injection site but I felt like I had a 24 hr flu after the first shot (nausea, exhaustion, feverish). I've never had any allergies or reactions before to medicine or vaccines other than basic soreness where I received a shot.

Clinical narrative: Pt had a vasovagal episode shortly after receiving Anthrax and Typhoid vaccines. She was assisted to the ground and was treated immediately. Pt's symptoms included pale skin, weakness, tingling in both hands, dizziness, and syncope. Pt's legs were elevated, vital signs were taken (BP- 102/78, P-68, SPO2-100%), and medical provider arrived at the scene for evaluation. Pt was given water, an orange, crackers, ham, cheese, almonds, and a granola bar as she was on an empty stomach. Pt was in observation for approximately 30 minutes. After patient was cleared by medical director, pt went to lab and had another vasovagal episode with the same symptoms as above, while in the waiting room. Pt was seen by medical director again and was in observation for approximately 45 minutes before she had a third vasovagal episode while in observation.

Vaccine: PNC13
Symptoms: Impaired work ability, Injected limb mobility decreased, Insomnia, Loss of personal independence in daily activities, Nuclear magnetic resonance imaging
Clinical narrative: Within a couple of hours after being given on 1/3, my arm began to throb and ache. It continued to get worse, and I expected some soreness getting the injection. However, within a day or so, I could barely move my arm, could not lift it. Went back to the clinic on 1/8, was told to take Ibuprofen, use warm or cold compresses, all things I was already doing. I asked for some pain medicine, told I could not have any pain medicine, and was given FLEXERIL and Gabapentin. Neither really did much to help the pain I was having in my arm. This pain, making it hard to work, I was in intense training for a new job; my husband is disabled and I have to do all of the daily tasks at home, including getting groceries, which became increasingly difficult. This pain made it difficult to work, hard to sleep. On my own, I began going to physical therapy on 2/2/18 which was the best help I received in this whole entire experience. Most of the pain seems to focus on the front of my arm, in the biceps area, making it hard to move and lift. I waited a month to get an apt with an orthopedic physician on 2/5/18 who didn't really think it was too bad, and recommended a steroid shot. I realize I do have some arthritis, but had never had any problems with this arm or shoulder. I did get the shot and it did help, for about a month or so. The ortho doc would not give any pain med, advised to go back to PCP. The steroid shot really helped but seemed to wear off after a month or so, and the pain continues. Back to my clinic on 3/26, and had to have a long discussion about why I could not have any pain medication, should go to a Pain Clinic, and was finally given Tramadol 50mg. Thus far, this injection being given in the wrong place has been very expensive: three clinic visits, an ortho visit, eight-PT visits, MRI, and venous study. And now it has been three months since the injection. The pain has gradually subsided, but continues to be constricting in my life.   And since it was January when this happened, all of the costs were applied to my deductible, out of pocket, just to get some relief. And there has been little.

This continued into the 3rd day (Monday), and I started to develop pain in my chest. By Wednesday, the pain had increased and I was feeling worse physically. I went back to the Dr's, did an EKG which was unremarkable. I was sent out for a chest x-ray to rule out pneumonia and for blood work. By Thursday, I was in excruciating pain throughout my entire chest cavity, it traveled to my neck and my breathing became affected...it hurt to breath. I tried my best to just sit still because any little movement activated the pain. My chest felt very full and heavy and eventually my neck became stiff. At times I had a burning sensation in my neck as well. I also had difficulty raising my arms.
