Clinical narrative: A 5-year-old male patient received Fluzone influenza virus vaccine on 17Nov2006. The patient was being seen for an asthma recheck, a mild upper respiratory tract infection, and to receive the influenza injection. The medical assistant had spoken with the patient's mother asking about allergies prior to the flu injection and was told that the patient's allergies included grass, leaves, and outdoor allergies. The patient's grandmother was asked prior to the influenza injection being administered if the patient was allergic to eggs and she stated that he was not. It was noted in the "IZ" database that the patient had previously received influenza injections on 14Nov2002, 11Dec2002, 17Nov2003, and 15Nov2005. The mother and grandmother stated that he had no previous abnormal reaction to the influenza injections. On 17Nov2006, approximately 7 minutes after the Fluzone was administered, the grandmother returned with the patient and he had an allergic reaction where mild hives on the face developed. When the grandmother was further questioned, she recalled that the patient would get hives when given eggs in the past, first occurring as a baby. The patient was given 5 mL of diphenhydramine 12.5 mg/5mL in the office. The patient's hives began to resolve within 10 minutes after the diphenhydramine was give. No anaphylaxis symptoms were noted. Precautions and a follow up appointment were given to the patient. The patient was given diphenhydramine 12.5 mg/5mL and instructed to take 5 mL every 4 to 6 hours as needed.

Clinical narrative: I work at a mental health hospital, we are required to receive a PPD (T.B. Test) I was instructed to have this nurse (RN) that I work with on graveyard shift administer the PPD. However the nurse used Pneumovax 23 instead of the PPD serum and it was administered intradermally rather than IM or SC. In addition the injection site was hot cleaned or alcohol swiped. I contracted staff infection, within hours, and went to the hospital ER and was diagnosed with staff infection. I was put on 3 different antibiotics because my body kept reaction badly to the antibiotics. I was off work for 2 days. When I went back to work it was then that I learned from the nurse (Rn) that she had mistakenly used Pneumovax 23 instead of the PPD serum; she then asked if I had ever had this and I told her yes 4 months ago. She then said well your only suppose to get this vaccination once every 5 years or 3 year in some cases, but no in the time frame that I was dealing with. She then sent me to our local hospital. Where I was seen and prescribed a different antibiotic, However no labs were performed. But labs are to be performed this week 4-26-07. Since this event I contacted mfr to find out what I might be dealing with. Mfr sent me back all th info concerning Pneumovax 23. I was already experiencing joint swelling, itching, fatigue, and when I received the mfr info, regarding adverse reactions I felt somewhat received, at least there was a reason.

I was put on 3 different antibiotics because my body kept reaction badly to the antibiotics. I was off work for 2 days. When I went back to work it was then that I learned from the nurse (Rn) that she had mistakenly used Pneumovax 23 instead of the PPD serum; she then asked if I had ever had this and I told her yes 4 months ago. She then said well your only suppose to get this vaccination once every 5 years or 3 year in some cases, but no in the time frame that I was dealing with. She then sent me to our local hospital. Where I was seen and prescribed a different antibiotic, However no labs were performed. But labs are to be performed this week 4-26-07. Since this event I contacted mfr to find out what I might be dealing with. Mfr sent me back all th info concerning Pneumovax 23. I was already experiencing joint swelling, itching, fatigue, and when I received the mfr info, regarding adverse reactions I felt somewhat received, at least there was a reason. I might add my employment has not assisted me in any way with this unfortunate incident. Unbelievable

Symptoms: Asthenia, Balance disorder, Depression, Dizziness, Gait disturbance
Clinical narrative: Developed pain, redness and swelling in left upper arm muscles and shoulder muscles. Became unable to stretch arm outward or upward and could not pick up objects till days later [left arm]. Has had small improvement in the intensity of the pain but I hear her groan several times a day whether moving or not. Using her left arm to IE hold a book, reading, is hurtful at least. She insists on doing dishes but has accepted my helping her. The pain is mild to intense; quite variable but always present. We had hoped using the arm would improve it but there is no apparent relaxing of the above symptoms. Note: we were having coffee out side and for no reason her left hand involuntarily released her cup breaking it???? She is having more difficulty using her walker as the left arm pain tends to increase pushing it. This vaccine injury has caused her additional depression by adding this disability to the multiple sclerosis she has had for 30 + years and is a progressive situation IE when we went to a store, she used the wheeled basket as a walker but now she seldom goes out because it's only by wheelchair now. Due to the decrease in strength of legs and all muscles generally since the flu shot has made it harder for her to get in & out of bed and I set up a portapotty by her bed each night so she does not need to try and make it to the bathroom. The overall situation is grim at best. Today at the doctors she was given a cortisone shot today [04/26/07][12 noon] and she just told me [7PM] "it does not feel any better". She states she feels her nervous system has been affected. IE left arm and legs weakness, walking more difficult, balance unreliable, dizziness more frequent, pain and discomfort in left arm unyielding and unforgiving.
