Clinical narrative: I had a pneumoia and flu shot in the same day one in each arm. A few hours later I got the chills, headache, tight in my chest, felt llike I was getting a sore throat felt like the flu. The arm I had the pneumoia shot in was really sore. The next morning on the 9th I noticed it was all red and swollen and just kept getting worse. The redness and tenderness is still there and I have noticed tonight the red is spreading even more. Over to my arm pit and now almost to my elbow. Im thinking I will go to the emergency room tomorrow if this isn't any better. Im not sure what one of the flu shots or the pnewmoia shot to check on your list. The pharmacist would have that I think, so I just guessed on which one to check. It as just the second year pneumoia and regular flus shot for the year.

Symptoms: Immediate post-injection reaction, Injection site erythema, Injection site pain, Paraesthesia
Clinical narrative: Immunization was painful, after I left the clinic, within a few minutes (maybe 5 minutes) along with the injection site discomfort, I feel needles and pins tingling from my left scalp to the injection site (left deltoid) and face. It lasted only a minute or so. I sat down to rest for about 10 minutes, and the tingling stopped. I did NOT have any rash, throat closing, difficulty breathing etc. I DID have continued pain at the injection site which was constant. After getting home, I noted that the injection site was red, painful, and beginning to swell. I took 200mg of ibuprofen, and applied an ice pack. In the hours to follow, the arm became more painful, increasingly swollen, and the redness larger. I did not have a fever. At night, it was uncomfortable, painful, and difficult to sleep. This continued the next days. On the second day following injection 8/10/18, I was more concerned that I might have developed an infection, so I went to the care clinic and saw a Nurse Practitioner. I had no fever, but the area of redness was increasing in size, pain, and warmth. She prescribed Doxycycline 100mg BID, though asked that I not take it unless my condition worsened. We both agreed that probably this was not an infection, as the reaction was so quick. I waited another 24hrs, then decided to take the Doxycycline as I wasn't improving...however it made me nauseated and gave me diarrhea, so I only took 2 doses. I continued to apply cool packs to my arm, take Ibuprofen, then after several days alternated cool and moist warm packs. The reaction gradually resolved over about 10 days.....I have pictures if anyone would like me to email them, please contact me.
