Clinical narrative: While I was performing pharmacist duties at store patient called at approximately 12:50 pm complaining about sever soreness and numbness in her left arm. Pt is unable to move her arm and not able to perform her daily office duties such as typing. She stated that she received a flu vaccine at the wine group event at 8:30 am by the intern. Pt also feels that the shot was given to her too high in the arm possibly in the shoulder. She thinks that the medication went into the wrong part of her arm. She is concerned about this, since she has never experienced such severe numbness and pain when getting a flu shot in the past. She further reinforced her that intern administered the shot in her shoulder and not the correct spot. I further questioned the patient to make sure she was not having an allergic reaction (no redness, no itching, no trouble breathing, no rash). Patient wanted to come to the store to show me her arm, but I advised patient to take Tylenol and use an ice pack for the pain and seek medical attention immediately to prevent any delays in proper care. (10/25/2017) Per PC on patient contacted primary care provider and was referred to workmans comp doctor.

Patient said her adverse reaction she felt was "systemic" and she primarily wanted to know how long will she continue to experience these side effects because the reactions had not subsided to date. The patient did not received treatment for the events and no laboratory diagnostics were performed. No product quality complaint was involved. Causality assessment between the events and PNEUMOVAX 23 was not reported. The outcome of the first episodes of fever and chills was resolved on an unspecified date. Upon internal review, the event of immunodeficiency was considered to be medically significant.
