Symptoms: Blood glucose increased, Blood pressure measurement, Incontinence, Loss of consciousness, Vaccine positive rechallenge
Clinical narrative: A Flu clinic was held at the Center which was having a health fair on 10/20/18. Pharmacy was there with a flu shot table. About an hour after I gave the flu shot, the patient was sitting on the patio eating a hotdog and drinking beer. She suddenly lost consciousness and was incontinent. I called 911  and after a few moments the patient regained consciousness but was unaware of what happened. Two nurses from another clinic were there and said they think she had a seizure. The patient left in an ambulance. When she left she was alert and able to answer questions. When speaking to her husband I asked if she's ever had a reaction to a vaccine before and he said about 7 years ago she got a flu shot and several days later had a similar episode but it was ruled unrelated to the vaccine.

Symptoms: Chills, Hyperaesthesia, Influenza like illness, Migraine, Muscle tightness
Clinical narrative: Received 2nd (booster) dose of SHINGRIX vaccine for adults over-50 (approximately 4 months after 1st dose). After the 1st dose (June 2018), there was definite muscular soreness throughout the arm of injection, peaking about 36 hours after the dose. General flu-like body soreness occurred within the same timeframe. After the 2nd does (Oct 2018), same symptoms as above, only worse. Chills (without fever) and massive shivering convulsions occurred commencing about 10-12 hours after injection, in addition to injection-arm soreness. Flu-like body-pain encompassed the entire body causing significant pain and discomfort (worse than first injection), plus significant nausea. There was significant and wide-spread general touch-sensitivity throughout the body (i.e. a spousal hand placed on the back caused significant pain and recoil reaction). A migraine-like headache pain also emerged, with notable (painful) touch-sensitivity to the head and facial areas.  2-3x Oxycodone tablets (5mg oxycodone / 325 mg acetaminophen) were required to resolve the pain after 750 mg of regular acetaminophen, failed to resolve the pain-symptoms. Approx 200 mg GRAVOL was taken within a 4 hour period for nausea. 100 mg Baclofen was required to resolve muscular tension and stiffness approx 10-12 hours after the chill symptoms began, or about 24 hours after the this 2nd injection. Symptoms largely resolved to a manageable medication-free level about 60 hours after the injection was delivered. Of note, I suffered significant erythema multiforme as a 10-/11-year-old leading to Steven Johnson's Syndrome and 10x days hospitalization. From ages 10-25, ZOVIRAX was prescribed to mitigate cold sore outbreaks, with occasional prescriptions of prednisone to control inflammation. Commencing at about age 25, a long-term high-daily dose to ZOVIRAX/Valacyclovir was prescribed to keep the herpes virus in check (successfully).
