Symptoms: Immediate post-injection reaction, Pallor
Clinical narrative: Patient was in that day to receive his 11/12 y/o vaccines, after administering the Tdap and MCV4  to the Left arm, I then administered the HPV9 to the Right and immediately after I removed the needle and placed the Band-Aid on the injection site the patient laid back on the exam table, his grandmother and I had been joking with him previously because he had been questioning how bad all of his immunizations were going to hurt, so when he laid back we at first assumed he was being "dramatic" (grandmother's words) and she was talking to him and laughing, but when I looked at his face, eyes and color of his skin I knew he was not playing. Grandmother tried to sit him up right away but I asked her to please stop and step out of the way, I then removed the pillow from behind his head and laid him down flat and then elevated his feet. I got wet, cool towels to put on his face and the back of his neck. Within seconds the patient's color started to return to normal and the patient was questioning what had happened. I had him lay with his feet elevated for approximately 10-15 mins as we talked about what had happened, and it was then that he told me that he had not eaten anything all day because he had been busy. I then got him some cool water and some fruit snacks and a cheese stick, the patient sat up to eat and drink with no further problems. In total patient stayed in the clinic for about 30 mins post vasovagal syncope, and he and grandmother both left with no further complaints.

I had pounding headaches despite taking 800mg Ibuprofen and 1000mg TYLENOL every 6-8 hours. I iced it and heated it alternatively for several days and I experienced nausea and a  loss of appetite.

I started to feel better that night.
