The patient's relevant medical history and concomitant medications were not reported.

Additional information: Pharmacist was reporting that patient stated a few days later (after vaccination), she noticed her arm kind of was itching. She wasn't even thinking about having the shot. She didn't even look at it, she just reached up there and she scratched it. Patient described it as scaly. Pharmacist asked patient if it was a scab, and patient told him no, it was just scaly and she just scraped it with her fingernail. That's what he's guessing is the whole problem, that she scratched it and now its infected. Now it was scaly and itchy right at the site of the injection. Pharmacist was only made aware of this today (06Nov2023) when patient came in this morning. He has a picture of it on his cell phone. The affected area is about a quarter inch in diameter, and an eighth of an inch raised and perfectly round. Patient came in today and then went next door to see an MD, and doctor send over the antibiotic cephalexin. Patient has not picked up medication yet. Pharmacist told her it looks like its infected. Pharmacist said doesn't look like there is puss. It looked dry to him, scaly, didn't look angry. It's a little bit red but not much, mildly red, very dry and scaly, skin is frail. It didn't seem like there was an issue at the time as far as pain at injection site or itching right after the vaccine.  The information on the batch/lot number for rsv vaccine prot.subunit pref 2v, rsv vaccine prot.subunit pref 2v  has been requested and will be submitted if and when received.
