Vaccine: VARZOS
Symptoms: Cellulitis, Injection site erythema, Injection site pain, Wrong technique in product usage process
Clinical narrative: 03/06/23: Patient was vaccinated with a Shingrix vaccine at Pharmacy. 03/09/23: Patient called Pharmacy to report she had experienced significant redness and pain at the injection site of her Shingrix vaccine. She called her primary care provider whose nurse encouraged her to go to Urgent Care to have her arm looked at. The patient went to Urgent Care and the provider there diagnosed her with cellulitis and prescribed an antibiotic. The patient stated to the pharmacy that the Urgent Care provider told her the vaccine adminstrator had either used a dirty needle or had not cleaned her skin adequately. The patient did start the antibiotic that day and asked the staff pharmacist she was speaking to to have the pharmacy manager call her back to discuss this matter. 03/10/23: I (pharmacy owner / manager) called the patient to discuss. In trying to establish a timeline of events, the patient reported that her pain and redness started within a couple hours after her Shingrix vaccine was administered. She again stated to me that the Urgent Care provider had told her that she had cellulitis and that the vaccine was either given with a dirty needle or inadequate cleaning of her skin prior to immunization. She was prescribed cephalexin 500mg four times daily for 7 days. I did counsel her that Grade 3 injection site reactions can occur in about 1 out of 5 patients who receive a Shingrix vaccine and that the rapid reaction points more towards this than cellulitis. I did, however, tell her that we would certainly defer to the clinical judgment of the Urgent Care provider as he / she examined her and we did not. 03/13/23: I called the Urgent Care to gather additional info to complete this report. I was informed by Urgent Care that they could not share any info with me. They referred me to medical records. I did offer "education" to the Urgent Care nurse about the high incidence of injection site reactions with Shingrix. I called the patient to gather Patient Information for this report. Respectfully, the patient declined to provide additional info, so I recorded as "Unable to Provide." The patient restated her unease about injection technique. I reassured her that we take these matters seriously and we want to gather info and report to VAERS to improve quality. I also reiterated the high incidence of injection site reactions and that the immediate reactions points more towards injection site reaction than cellulitis. I did repeat, though, that we most certainly will defer to the clinical judgment of the Urgent Care provider.

Symptoms: Chest X-ray normal, Chest discomfort, Cough, Dysphonia, Dyspnoea
Clinical narrative: When it started, I felt like it was just a cold with sinus congestion. It then went into my lungs, and I began bringing up phlegm. I had a telehealth visit with my doctor in December 2022, who prescribed me prednisone and an antibiotic whose name I don't recall. My symptoms did not improve after I took those. I saw my doctor again later in January 2023. She gave me prednisone to take three times a day, but she didn't give me an antibiotic. However, she did change my inhaler from QVAR to TRELEGY. Then the phlegm production eventually stopped, but I then had coughing and wheezing. While I was having these symptoms, all through December 2022, January 2023, and February 2023, I had to frequently use my albuterol rescue inhaler, because I would gasp for air and had wheezing and tightness in the chest. In January 2023, she also gave me benzonatate capsules for the cough. She then ordered the lung X-ray, which indicated that my lungs were clear. When I saw my doctor in February 2023, she prescribed me TRELEGY, a third batch of prednisone, and SINGULAIR. She has also referred me to a pulmonologist, whom I'm due to see in the near future. At the time of this writing, I feel that my breathing has improved and that I have to use my rescue inhaler less often during the day. However, I do use the rescue inhaler more at night than during the daytime. Although my breathing is now better, I still have hoarseness.

Initial workup in the ED revealed significant leukocytosis and  lactic acidosis, as well as AKI and hypernatremia. CXR did not demonstrate any obvious signs of pneumonia. Patient initially required 2 L nasal cannula, so 10 day course of decadron was started.   Patient was admitted and treated with IV fluids. AKI, hypernatremia, and sepsis quickly resolved and patient was transitioned to room air. Palliative was consulted given patient's advanced dementia and other comorbid conditions. Family ultimately elected to discharge home with hospice and patient was discharged in stable condition to his assisted living facility with hospice services.
