Vaccine: FLU3
Symptoms: Drug administered at inappropriate site, Hypoaesthesia, Injected limb mobility decreased, Injection site pain, Nuclear magnetic resonance imaging
Clinical narrative: Pain at the time of the flu injection. Soreness for two days. After two days, the pain progressed and I was losing my range of motion, and wasn't able to move my right arm/shoulder without excrutiating pain. Numbness in right arm with mottling noticed. Not able to sleep due to the excrutiating pain keeping me up all night. Ice, heat and NSAIDS not helping at all with the discomfort. The injection was injected too high above my deltoid resulting in the pain and has not yet gotten better. Gets worse as the days go on.

Symptoms: Discomfort, Generalised erythema, Hypertension, Oedema peripheral, Pruritus generalised
Clinical narrative: I do not know if this was related to the flu shot but what I will described has never happened to me before.  I became aware of fairly intense discomfort as if my relaxed fit clothes were suddenly extremely tight.  As I walked through the house to change into night clothes in response to this feeling, my upper left arm became intensely itchy.  The shot was administered to my right arm and it showed no reaction throughout this episode.  When I looked at my upper left arm it was very red but there were no hives, just widespread redness.  Then I became aware of itching at the waist, mid and lower back, upper buttocks and the backs of my lower legs.  All these places were quite red and again no hives.  The back of both lower legs had furrows and exhibited edema.  Apparently the legs of my jeans had caused the furrows as the cloth tightened in response to the swelling.  I took a generic Claritin and applied Eucerin Itch Relief cream to all the affected areas.  I took my blood pressure -- it was 148/81, quite high for me, pulse was a normal for me 63.  My temperature was 97.3.  The symptoms gradually resolved over the course of the next hour with the exception of some furrows and edema remaining on the backs of the legs.  My blood pressure returned to normal 118/68.  By morning there were no remaining abnormalities.  I did not seek medical attention.  I have several photos of the skin reaction.  Again I don't know if the vaccine caused this but thought I should report it in case it is of use to anyone.

Clinical narrative: This letter is to describe the adverse reaction that I had to my pneumonia vaccine that I received the morning of September 24th 2015. I am a RN and have administered many injections over my 41 years of practice. I knew immediately that when I got both the flu and the pneumonia injections that they were both administered too high in the deltoid muscle and mentioned this to a couple other nurses that I work with immediately after my injections. The flu injection was given in my left arm and the pneumonia injection was given in my right arm. I have never that the pneumonia vaccine before so when it started hurting within a couple hours, I really did not think too much of it. I work in an office setting and was sitting at my desk all day, so there was nothing I did physically with my shoulder that day. I did ask a couple other nurses later that day if anyone had really painful shoulder but no one I spoke with had the pneumonia vaccine. At the same time as the pain in my right shoulder was increasing, I also began to have dental pain in multiple teeth on the right side of my face. Later that evening the pain in my right shoulder got much worse and I could not even undress without help to go to bed. Both the dental pain and the right shoulder became much worse the following day. I happened to have an appointment with my PCP on Friday morning. I asked him if was possible to have a shoulder injury from a vaccination. He had not heard of this and told me to keep my arm moving and use ice or heat which ever felt better. At first I did not relate the dental pain to this injection as I had had a gum graft on 2 of my right top teeth 2 + weeks earlier. The pain from that had pretty much subsided several days earlier. As Friday progressed both the dental and the right shoulder pain became increasingly more severe. I could not move my right arm at all due to the pain. It was about 5 pm on Friday evening that I realized that the injection sire was not sore at all. The right shoulder pain was deep inside my anterior portion of my shoulder where my rotator cuff would be. The pain became so exquisite that around 6 pm I went to the pharmacy and spoke with the pharmacist. He could not explain my pain either. He gave me the PCV13 vaccine form and told me I should file and adverse reaction form.

Clinical narrative: This is an initial report of an Adverse Event, received on 30/Sep/2015, for FLUBLOK. The female subject received FLUBLOK Intramuscular on 28/Sep/2015. The day after receiving FLUBLOK, 29/Sep/2015 (FLUBLOK administered on 28/Sep/2015 at an unknown time (Lot #: 550603F)), the subject experienced redness, a mild rash 3 cm by 5 cm, and itchiness at the injection site. At the time of this report, the outcome of the events was not reported; however, the itchiness was improving. Medical/surgical history for the subject reported that the subject had multiple allergies to penicillin and sulfa. Concomitant medications were not reported. Causality information was not provided. The company's assessment of the causal relationship between redness, mild rash, and itchiness at the injection site and FLUBLOK is a possible relationship in light of the safety profile information that injection site reaction is an expected event. In summary, this case report does not change the known safety profile of FLUBLOK.
