Clinical narrative: My son received all of the two month vaccines exception Hepatitis B. Within two hours he started throwing up, having significantly increased bowel movements, and crying more than usual.

Since then he has continued to have significant GI distress that was NOT present prior to the vaccine. He has continued to have increased bowel movements, severe gas, and discomfort/crying.

Vaccine: FLU3
Symptoms: Granuloma annulare, Rash
Clinical narrative: Patient had a round large ring with slight redness in the center. It looked like a large ringworm,  after research we believe it was an immune response to the vaccine, called "Granuloma Annulare".  Her doctor initially gave a steroid cream with no results then gave her an antifungal, clotrimazole.  The treatment is really to let it clear on its own. It is related to immune response, this condition can be caused by bug bits, excessive sun, stress or vaccine. The patient is doing fine with not harm to except the rash. I rececked with the patient and rash is starting to go away.

Clinical narrative: Received a Tetnus vaccine on 11/6/2017 at Hospital Urgent Care. Immediately had shoulder discomfort-the next day and following days I was unable to lift my arm and had extreme discomfort. The pain moved from my shoulder into my fore arm and down into my hand. One week and  a day later I went back to Urgent Care - the nurse practicioner prescribed me Predisone- I had some relief while on the predisone but the pain returned after I finished the prescription. The following week I went to Urgent care to Medical Center- the nurse practicioner there gave me another round of Predisone this time at a higher dosage. Again, the pain was slightly relieved but did not subside. the following week I tried an orthopedic DR again who suggested no kind of treatment for my pain except physical therapy. 4 weeks later I have pain/constant aching in the shoulder continuously that is worse at night when I try to lay down. Cramping/nerve pain down into my forearm muscle and right hand/thumb. Still unable to lift small things with my right arm. The initial nurse who gave me the shot placed it not quite one finger length down from my shoulder.

Symptoms: Diarrhoea, Malaise, Pyrexia, Viral infection, Vomiting
Clinical narrative: I have twin boys who were taken for 6 month vaccines. Honestly I am unsure about the accuracy of which companies I chose that manufactured them. I do know that my baby was perfectly fine until he was vaccinated and now I have a sick baby. He got a fever of 101.2, then the next day he started throwing up so bad he had to be taken to the ER and given zofran so that the poor little guy could hold down even a couple ounces of breast milk. Now he has diarrhea. Every doctor has discredited it being a reaction to the vaccine saying it must be a virus. Probably because they don't want to fill out additional paperwork. It's pretty obvious to me it's vaccine related. If it was a virus I am pretty sure his twin brother would have it as well.

Clinical narrative: Information has been received from a lawyer regarding a case in litigation concerning a female patient of unknown age. No information was reported regarding the patient's past medical history, concurrent conditions, or concomitant medication. On 16-NOV-2015, the patient received ZOSTAVAX (lot number, dosage and route of administration not provided) for its intended purpose: the prevention of shingles. The vaccine was given by an individual licensed to administer vaccines, including the ZOSTAVAX. The very next day (17-NOV-2015), the patient began to exhibit symptoms of shingles, including a rash. The symptoms spread, including pain in the patient's left shoulder and cellulitis in her lower extremities. The patient has been unable to fully use her left arm due to continuing pain in her left shoulder. On 26-JUL-2016, one of the patient's physicians attributed her shoulder pain to bicipital tendonitis, likely caused by the manner in which she was given the ZOSTAVAX injection. It was reported that the ZOSTAVAX was negligently, carelessly, and recklessly injected too high into the patient's arm which deviated from accepted medical procedure, causing her injury. As a direct and proximate result of the deviation from the standard of care, the patient's left arm was injured which caused the patient to suffer and continue to suffer from reduced strength in her left arm, decreased range of motion, neuropathy, and permanent tingling and pain sensations in her fingers and hand. The patients injuries continue. As a direct and proximate result of the ZOSTAVAX, the patient's symptoms have resulted in physical limitations not present prior, including cognitive issues, poor memory, drooping eye and vision loss, inability to drive, physical pain, inability to work on a routine basis, and migraines. The patient also experiences mental and emotional distress due to resulting physical limitations, from, and seriousness of, her condition. Further, as a tragic consequence, the patient suffered serious, progressive, permanent, and incurable injuries, as well as significant conscious pain and suffering, mental anguish, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, physical impairment and injury. ZOSTAVAX vaccine negligently, carelessly, and recklessly injected too high into the patient's arm which deviated from accepted medical procedure; symptoms of shingles including a rash; cellulitis in her lower extremities; bicipital tendonitis; cognitive issues; poor memory; drooping eye; vision loss; migraines; left arm was injured-neuropathy; left arm was injured-reduced strength in her left arm; left arm was injured-decreased range of motion; and left arm was injured-tingling and pain sensations in her fingers and hand were considered to be disabling. Upon internal review, cellulitis in her lower extremities and vision loss were determined to be medically significant. Additional information has been requested.

On 16-NOV-2015, the patient received ZOSTAVAX (lot number, dosage and route of administration not provided) for its intended purpose: the prevention of shingles. The vaccine was given by an individual licensed to administer vaccines, including the ZOSTAVAX. The very next day (17-NOV-2015), the patient began to exhibit symptoms of shingles, including a rash. The symptoms spread, including pain in the patient's left shoulder and cellulitis in her lower extremities. The patient has been unable to fully use her left arm due to continuing pain in her left shoulder. On 26-JUL-2016, one of the patient's physicians attributed her shoulder pain to bicipital tendonitis, likely caused by the manner in which she was given the ZOSTAVAX injection. It was reported that the ZOSTAVAX was negligently, carelessly, and recklessly injected too high into the patient's arm which deviated from accepted medical procedure, causing her injury. As a direct and proximate result of the deviation from the standard of care, the patient's left arm was injured which caused the patient to suffer and continue to suffer from reduced strength in her left arm, decreased range of motion, neuropathy, and permanent tingling and pain sensations in her fingers and hand. The patients injuries continue. As a direct and proximate result of the ZOSTAVAX, the patient's symptoms have resulted in physical limitations not present prior, including cognitive issues, poor memory, drooping eye and vision loss, inability to drive, physical pain, inability to work on a routine basis, and migraines. The patient also experiences mental and emotional distress due to resulting physical limitations, from, and seriousness of, her condition. Further, as a tragic consequence, the patient suffered serious, progressive, permanent, and incurable injuries, as well as significant conscious pain and suffering, mental anguish, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, physical impairment and injury. ZOSTAVAX vaccine negligently, carelessly, and recklessly injected too high into the patient's arm which deviated from accepted medical procedure; symptoms of shingles including a rash; cellulitis in her lower extremities; bicipital tendonitis; cognitive issues; poor memory; drooping eye; vision loss; migraines; left arm was injured-neuropathy; left arm was injured-reduced strength in her left arm; left arm was injured-decreased range of motion; and left arm was injured-tingling and pain sensations in her fingers and hand were considered to be disabling. Upon internal review, cellulitis in her lower extremities and vision loss were determined to be medically significant. Additional information has been requested.

Sex: M
Vaccine: FLU3
Symptoms: Diarrhoea, Fatigue, Headache, Herpes zoster, Influenza
Clinical narrative: Flu symptoms on a mini scale; body aches, headache, feverish, tired & run down within the first week of injection. Symptoms mostly disappeared by Dec 1. By December 3 I had a shingles attack, in spite of having a shingles vaccine 3 years ago. Attack was minor and confined to stomach/side on my left side only. Consists of 5-6 small blisters that look exactly as in on line article, and the attendant pain.   (Thought I had rolled in glass when I woke up on 12/3/17). Pain is there when area touched but not now especially troublesome after getting dressed. Then, on 12/4/17 morning, began diarrhea in liquid form, still experiencing at 6 PM 12/4. In addition, I thought my moderate Crohn's had flared the week after the flu shot, after being well controlled for a year and a half, but  the current succession of flu symptoms make that suspect.
