Clinical narrative: I was asked if I needed the higher dose of flu vaccine. After the Itching in right forearm began with a patch of redness and welts. While driving both buttocks and back of legs started itching.  It worsened so I went back to the nursing clinic.  My eyes began itching and waistband as I was walking into the building.  I told employee what was going on and he looked at my arm pulled out bag of pills , he said it was Benadryl.  I said, I can not take that at work, and I needed to call my manager.  I attemted, she did not answer twice, so I text.  The two LVN's across the hallway  told him no, he can't prescribe and he offered topical cream, they told him no. I pointed to #5. The RN told them to send me to UCC. As I was leaving I did't feel comfortable not informing a manger of the situation.   I went to my managers office and another manager was there,  she messaged my manager, and was told the nurses need to assess and complete a report.  We walked back to the nursing office, three LVN's were present, the RN did not come to check on me at all.  The manager was assured that they evaluated me and I was told to go to Urgent Care Clinic.  I once again pointed out that the information form said to call 911.  The LVN's told the manager that I was told to go to the Urgent Care, so I quickly lelft.   As I arrived at the Urgent Care clinic, the back of  my head was itching and the elastic on the lower part of the left side of my bra.    I recieved a text thread from my manager that, "the RN can assess & escalate to an MD for assessmen t.  She also noted, "there's limited emergency medical supplies at clinic so if further care and escalation is needed the MD"s may recommend urgent/er based off my symptoms".   I responded, "they told me to go to UCC".  I was asked, "who gave the flu shot".   I responded, "Nurse" My manager responded, "Ok lelt me ask RN manager of the Nursing Staff to  connect with the nurse team and nurse acknowledged the message from the other manager  my response- "Thank you"  Next text from manager, "are you with an RN right now? We can call 911 for needed transport or do you feell safe to drive to UCC?" I did not see the message because I was already driving myself as instructed.   Manager called me and I told her I was walking into Urgent Care and  I checked in;.  Manager called me back and said nurse had a RN on the phone that could assess which might be fater than me waiting if I wanted to speak with her.  I agreed, as my name was being called by the Urgent Care Nuse.  I infomred  they were calling m name.  Manager told me to have them treat me.     I was sent home and given the next day off work.  I recieved a call from Work Place Safety RN that the other manager Called her the day before and was asked if I wanted to file a worker's comp claim?  The nurse told me that the other manager said no, I did not, but I was never offered or advised.    I agreed to file a claim based on the above experience. and the Vaccine information statement sheet given to me  is only one sided with number !, 2 and 3 missing.   My main concern is I have been given flu vaccines as long as I have been employed by this clinic and this is the first reaction.  Plus, the quesiton of needing  the higher dose, caused me to wonder if I was given the wrong vaccine accidently.
