Vaccine: FLU4
Symptoms: Erythema, Injection site mass, Pain in extremity, Peripheral swelling
Clinical narrative: Patient, never having previously used the pharmacy, contacted the pharmacy on the evening of 10/18/2020 with the complaint of having had shoulder pain over the last two weeks after having received a flu vaccine on Tuesday 10/06/2020. Patient stated that she has gotten the flu vaccine before and never had any problems. She also stated she knows that if the vaccine isn't given in the correct location, that it could cause an injury. She says that the day after receiving the vaccine, her arm became red and swollen until that Friday 10/09/2020 and that since then, the redness and swelling has resolved, but she has had progressively worsening pain since then. She says that the pain is present both with and without movement but is most notable in the sitting position. Patient was advised by pharmacist to seek medical attention if deemed necessary. On Tuesday 10/20/2020 patient contacted the pharmacy to update that she is beginning to feel a lump in the area where the vaccine was administered and that she has scheduled an appointment with an orthopedic doctor for Wednesday 10/21/2020. She will follow up with the pharmacy on any pertient details or results of the appointment.  The immunizing pharmacist has undergone injection technique training and completed a quality care check on vaccine administration. Upon watching surveillance footage of the time the patient presented for the vaccine, the camera angle does not allow full visibility to the entire event to determine if the vaccine was administered in the right location of the deltoid. However, it was noted that the patient was wearing a short sleeve shirt and therefore most likely rolled the sleeve up above her shoulder to expose the entire deltoid muscle. Typically, shoulder injury related to vaccine administration is more likely if the patient is wearing a long sleeve shirt that they aren't able to fully roll up above the shoulder or if they are pulling their shirt down at the neckline because in both instances, the deltoid muscle is not fully exposed. This was not the case with this patient. After having received the vaccine, the patient can clearly be seen walking away unremarkably, never holding her arm or appearing to be in any distress or discomfort from being immunized.

Clinical narrative: My wife received her annual influenza immunization yesterday at pharmacy at approximately 11: 30 am 08/31/2020. She was immunized with AFLURIA PFS 2020-21 INJ 0.5ML manufactured by SEQIRUS administered intramuscularly in the deltoid area of her left arm. She noticed no adverse effects initially. At approximately 4:30 pm she developed a very uncomfortable fullness in her throat making it hard for her to swallow and drink. She described it as "like having a whole kiwi fruit stuck in her throat". I gave her two 25 mg. Benadryl (diphenhydramine) capsules orally. In about an hour the uncomfortable fullness began to decrease. By 10 pm the uncomfortable fullness was almost gone. The next morning she was back to normal. My wife experienced the same thing one year ago when she received her influenza immunization. The fullness last year was more severe following her receiving the "extra strength" vaccine. The vaccine she received this year was "regular strength". She is now afraid to receive any future influenza immunizations. I am also hesitant for her to receive any flu vaccine in the future.

Clinical narrative: I received Pneumovax 23 injection on my left arm at pharmacy at approximately 11:00 am. By 6:00 pm that evening I had developed a slight fever and my inner bicep had a lump which had swollen to approximately 3 inches X 4 inches. The lump was hot to the touch, hard, and itchy. By the next morning the swollen area on my inner arm had enlarged and covered the area from underarm to inner elbow and was hot, itchy, and extremely swollen. Consulted with nurse at primary care clinic and was told to come in the following day if it was still a problem. By 6:00 pm that evening swelling had become worse, so went to Urgent Care. The doctor there could not determine if I had an allergic reaction or if it was an infection. He prescribed antibiotic Doxycycline Mono 100 mg capsules of which I have taken 3 doses so far. As of this morning, 10/08/20, the redness and some of the swelling has gone down, but area is still extremely sore.

Symptoms: Arthralgia, Back pain, Chest pain, Injection site erythema, Injection site swelling
Clinical narrative: I received the pneumovax vaccine yesterday. 26 y.o. Female with chronic health problems. I have had the pneumonia vaccine before, at the age of ~21 as I have struggled with repeat pneumonia and bronchitis in the past on a yearly basis. With the coronavirus in mind and my health history I elected to receive the vaccine this year even though it has been a couple of years since I've come down with a bad case of pneumonia/bronchitis. I felt fine after receiving the vaccine yesterday morning but quickly developed general malaise. Symptoms included swelling, redness, warmth at injection site and by the afternoon my chest, arm, shoulder, and back were in severe pain, by far some of the worst pain I've ever felt in my life. It was excruciating. Today I woke up feeling better but the back and chest pain has returned and I now feel nauseous and have resisted the urge to vomit all day. I have no idea what to do or if this will continue into tomorrow.

Clinical narrative: 1. Last year in our facility, a nurse administered the high dose flu vaccine instead of the regular flu vaccine due to labeling confusion.

RN notified pharmacy of difficulty in reading light green print on high dose Fluzone syringe. 3. The boxes for the Flublok and regular Fluzone with different manufacturers have similar dark blue/white coloring. If stored together, these products can be mixed up.

Vaccine: VARZOS
Symptoms: Body temperature increased, Disorientation, Erythema, Joint range of motion decreased, Musculoskeletal stiffness
Clinical narrative: I was given the 1st Zoster Vaccine & the HD Flu shot in the same arm, as suggested by the pharmacist. I don't think it's a good idea to have the shingles vaccine at the same time as any other vaccine. I not only developed pain, redness & swelling but also a rash that reminded me a little of shingles. The only listed side effect I didn't experience was throwing up. My temperature went to 101.4 which was very high for me as my normal temperature is usually 96.6. I had some swelling of the tongue & felt very disoriented. I also experienced a severe stiff neck & was unable to turn my head for two days. It has taken almost ten days for all the side effects to dissipate. I will go back for the second shot in the two to six month window, but I won't be taking it with any other type of shot. I'm wondering if you've ever heard of people who have had Malaria not being able to have the Zoster Vaccine?
