Vaccine: FLUR4
Symptoms: Circumstance or information capable of leading to medication error, Incorrect dose administered
Clinical narrative: Patient came to pharmacy to receive annual flu shot. Screening form and billing processing were completed as usual. When needle was inserted into patient's arm no reaction, however when the plunger was depressed to administer the vaccine the patient had an involuntary "jolt" and pulled away and to her right. The movement pulled the arm away from the needle and the dose was incompletely administered. Some of the liquid did remain on the patient's upper arm, but some also squirted onto the floor. Some residual dose left in the prefilled syringe as well. The area was re-swabbed with an alcohol wipe to remove the vaccine liquid from the skin and the patient waited in the counseling room while I (the administering pharmacist) called the manufacturer to ask what the appropriate protocol was. They advised that any administration of their flu vaccine that resulted in less than the entire 0.5 mL quantity being injected into the muscle would be considered to provide inadequate immunity to the flu virus strains. The protocol was, therefore, to administer a dose as if the first incident had not occurred. Another pre-filled syringe from the same box as the first was taken out and administered to the patient using normal administration protocol and did not result in any further incident.

Ongoing changing recurring symptoms previously reported for past eleven weeks, onset same day as vaccination.  Most significant (known to me) headache with no medicinal relief; burning-clamping-squeezing-spasm sensations to entire brain case, moving and shifting from one lobe to another for eleven weeks 24/7.  I have expressed desire to DIE rather than continue living like this.  I have reached a point where this vaccine is making my life unbearable.  In addition I have weakness in my arms and legs with arthritis like symptoms in both elbows; brain fog; difficulty with speech and ramping up of brain symptoms when I attempt to walk perhaps because of increased blood flow to the brain.

Unable to fill out Sanofi medical forms emailed to me,  because no one has evaluated or diagnosed me at my medical care provider in eleven weeks of being ill!!!    Thought PCP Medical Provider was supposed to file VAERs report.   REFUSED!   Medical Staff indicate they have no background in disease processes linked to FLUZONE HIGH DOSE and no protocols for Vaccine VAERS reporting or evaluation of SAEs. There is no one I feel I can really turn to for help except my husband and he has no medical background.   Feel like I am progressively getting worse and am very concerned that my outcome(s) will be adverse and negative.  Whatever is going on inside my body is relentless and undiminished by time.
