Clinical narrative: Patient came to the pharmacy the afternoon of Wednesday 10/10/18 complaining of redness and soreness in his left arm; the patient had received two vaccines in his left arm on Monday 10/08/18 from the same pharmacy. The vaccines were administered by staff pharmacist. Upon seeing the large red area on the patient upper left arm, I (floater pharmacist/reporter) reviewed the patient's vaccination sheet and determined that the patient may be experiencing a reaction to one or both vaccines. The patient was not experiencing itching at the site, therefore; I helped him find an over the counter 24 count bottle of ibuprofen to take to help relieve the inflammation and pain. I advised the patient to contact his primary care physician as soon as possible. I followed up with the patient before the end of my shift on 10/10. The patient reported that the size of the red are on his left arm had increased within the few hours since we last spoke. The patient also stated that he had made an appointment to see his doctor the following day, Thursday 10/11/18. According to the patient's medication profile, he saw Dr. on 10/11 and was prescribed doxycycline hyclate 100mg - one capsule twice daily for 10 days.

Clinical narrative: After I received the shot I felt achey, muscles and a headache, which I usually do after a flu shot and it usually resolves within a day. I continued to feel poorly for a few days and I began feeling fatigued and I did not know why. Sunday night (10/7) I could not sleep due to a very itchy rash that was causing me pain on the right side on my body. I went to my dermatologist 10/8 who diagnosed me with Shingles and started me on medication, which is now helping me improve. I believe the flu shot "confused" or put a strain on my immune system causing me to  come down with Shingles. I did not currently have stress, which is a common cause. So, I do not know why else I got Shingles and I suspect it was the flu shot.
