Clinical narrative: Influenza infection/ flu; Respiratory illness; High fever; This spontaneous case was received on 04-Jan-2024 from other healthcare professional via Health Authority (reference number: SEQW24-00047) with additional information received on 09-Jan-2024 (being processed together) and concerned a female patient of unreported age.  The patient's medical history and concomitant medications were not reported.  On an unspecified date, reported as 'in October', the patient was vaccinated with influenza vaccine (reported as 'Seqirus influenza vaccine, likely Flucelvax') (brand not specified; dose, route of administration, and anatomical location: not reported) for active immunization against influenza disease. The batch number was not reported.   On an unspecified date, reported as 'over Christmas', an unknown amount of time after receiving influenza vaccine, the patient experienced respiratory illness consistent with influenza infection. There was no laboratory confirmation of the cause of the patient's illness. The patient got what was believed to be the flu, but the patient was never actually tested because of the holiday. The patient believed it was the flu due to quick onset and high fever. The patient had several people around who tested positive days prior to the patient getting sick. There were also other illnesses going around and since the patient did not get tested, the patient did not know if she actually had the flu. All the patient could really say was that the patient had a respiratory illness.  On an unspecified date, the patient recovered from all events. As reported, the patient had a quick recovery.  The reporter did not provide a causality assessment.  The event of 'influenza' was considered to be medically significant by a Physician within Seqirus's Regulatory Authority Department.  This case is linked with the cases 202400029, 202400200, and 202400201 (the same reporter).  Company comment: A patient of unreported age experienced respiratory illness consistent with influenza infection an unknown amount of time after receiving the suspect product influenza vaccine. The patient's illness was not lab-confirmed, but it was suspected to be flu due to rapid onset, high fever, and exposure to others who tested positive. However, the patient couldn't confirm it as they were not tested during the holiday season, categorizing it simply as a respiratory illness. Due to lack of information and unclear temporal relationship, causality for the reported events is unassessable.; Sender's Comments: A patient of unreported age experienced respiratory illness consistent with influenza infection an unknown amount of time after receiving the suspect product influenza vaccine.
