I called Novartis on 9/22/11 to report this as I had concerns about the integrity of the vial due to the loose metal cap. NDC 66521-114-10 lot 1100901 exp 5/2012. I checked vials that had not been opened yet and they also had loose metal tops. Novartis did not seem overly concerned and indicated that they would get back to me. I have not heard from them as of today (9/26/11). At issue for our hospital is that we have already dispensed >/= to 450 doses of vaccine.

Felt so weak that my wife (a retired RN) drove me to the ER. They said I had Atrial Fibrillation, gave me EKG, etc. and had me transferred to another hospital by ambulance. My heart had returned to normal sinus rhythm without medication prior to leaving the ER. Admitted to hospital, kept overnight. Given another EKG and an Echo Cardiogram, etc. Was able to be discharged the next afternoon. I've never had a reaction to a flu shot previously in my 81 years.
