Symptoms: Anaphylactic reaction, Cardiac arrest, Death, Feeling abnormal, Syncope
Clinical narrative: This is a literature case, initially received on 19-Feb-2019, concerning an 84-year-old, elderly, female patient. The study describes the reports of anaphylaxis after vaccination reported to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) during 1990-2016. A descriptive analysis, including history of hypersensitivity (anaphylaxis, respiratory allergies, and drug allergies) and vaccines given were performed. The patient's current condition included hypertension and allergy to penicillin. On an unspecified date, the patient was administered INN Flu Vaccine Seasonal (influenza vaccine, influenza virus vaccine polyvalent, anatomical location, dose, route of administration, batch number, manufacturer, trade name and expiry date: not reported) for an unknown indication. On the same day, 2 minutes after the vaccination, the patient felt funny and then collapsed. The patient had ventricular ?brillation (later speculated because of hypotension), which progressed to cardiac arrest. On examination, the patient also had wheezing. It was reported that, there was no documented evidence, but medical records indicated diagnosis of anaphylactic reaction. The author considered this case as serious (death). The author concluded that anaphylaxis of severe or life-threatening severity was very uncommon but could occur even among the persons without hypersensitivity. Most persons recovered fully with treatment, but serious complications, including possibility of death is a rare event. This case is cross-linked to the original case: 201902085 due to the same reporter.; Reporter's Comments: An 84-year-old, female patient with current condition of hypertension known allergy to penicillin felt funny, collapsed and experienced ventricular ?brillation (later speculated because of hypotension), which progressed to cardiac arrest, within minutes after administration of INN Flu Vaccine. The case meets level 2 of Brighton Collaboration criteria of diagnostic certainty for anaphylactic reaction. The indicated cause of death was anaphylactic reaction. Considering the plausible temporal relationship between vaccination and reported fatal events (ventricular brillation, cardiac arrest and anaphylactic reaction) and lack of any underlying conditions or alternative more plausible causes, the company assessed the events as possibly related to suspect vaccine. The company assessed the events (cardiac arrest, anaphylactic reaction, Ventricular fibrillation) as serious (medically significant).; Reported Cause(s) of Death: Anaphylactic reaction.

Clinical narrative: 2018 I was called by pharmacy to come in to receive my second half of the pneumonia shot. I went in, received the shot and since then have been in constant pain and have had limited mobility in that arm. 12/11/18 received the PNEUMOVAX 23 shot in my left deltoid. Later in the evening I started to feel tenderness and soreness in that arm which then turned into stiffness which continues today. 2/25/19. The next day my arm became swollen and a red ring 6-8 in in width went around my left arm. It felt like my muscle tissue was being attacked. I called the pharmacy Dr and he said to take BENADRYL and TYLENOL. The redness lasted about a week-I have photos of my swollen, red arm. I experienced, lack of mobility in this arm which continues today. This has caused sleeping problems because I cannot find a comfortable position for my arm. I am using a heating pad a few times a day along with 4-8 TYLENOL tablets. I called pharmacy a second time to see if others were having a reaction to this shot. I was told it was a normal reaction for some people. The lack of mobility is a concern because I am never sure if I move my arm will cause sharp, stabbing pain or if I can hold onto what may be in my hand. If I fall asleep on my left side my left arm is like dead wood and very hard to move which makes me use my right arm to move and support it. When I mentioned what was going on with my arm a nurse friend said to go see my doctor which I did. I told her I was experiencing this pain for this long she ordered physical therapy and if that doesn't work, an MRI - this pain has been relentless traveling from the injection area. Through my arm, into my elbow, down my arm into my hand. I had a tenderness on the back of my head a week or two later that felt like an impacted pimple (on my left side) in to my gland but there was no pimple. Then, I felt like I had a bad tooth (molar) again on my left side. So I went to see my dentist. He took xrays and said it was my sinus impacting my nerves in my tooth on only my left side it seems quite suspicious that all the pain I have experienced has been after that shot and only on my left side. I've been living in pain since this shot!

Clinical narrative: 2018 I was called by pharmacy to come in to receive my second half of the pneumonia shot. I went in, received the shot and since then have been in constant pain and have had limited mobility in that arm. 12/11/18 received the PNEUMOVAX 23 shot in my left deltoid. Later in the evening I started to feel tenderness and soreness in that arm which then turned into stiffness which continues today. 2/25/19. The next day my arm became swollen and a red ring 6-8 in in width went around my left arm. It felt like my muscle tissue was being attacked. I called the pharmacy Dr and he said to take BENADRYL and TYLENOL. The redness lasted about a week-I have photos of my swollen, red arm. I experienced, lack of mobility in this arm which continues today. This has caused sleeping problems because I cannot find a comfortable position for my arm. I am using a heating pad a few times a day along with 4-8 TYLENOL tablets. I called pharmacy a second time to see if others were having a reaction to this shot. I was told it was a normal reaction for some people. The lack of mobility is a concern because I am never sure if I move my arm will cause sharp, stabbing pain or if I can hold onto what may be in my hand. If I fall asleep on my left side my left arm is like dead wood and very hard to move which makes me use my right arm to move and support it. When I mentioned what was going on with my arm a nurse friend said to go see my doctor which I did. I told her I was experiencing this pain for this long she ordered physical therapy and if that doesn't work, an MRI - this pain has been relentless traveling from the injection area. Through my arm, into my elbow, down my arm into my hand. I had a tenderness on the back of my head a week or two later that felt like an impacted pimple (on my left side) in to my gland but there was no pimple. Then, I felt like I had a bad tooth (molar) again on my left side. So I went to see my dentist. He took xrays and said it was my sinus impacting my nerves in my tooth on only my left side it seems quite suspicious that all the pain I have experienced has been after that shot and only on my left side. I've been living in pain since this shot!

Clinical narrative: Intense pain  in lower back and right leg from hip to just above knee. Fatigue. Increased Advil to 12 a day with no effect. Also hot and cold compress. (I forgot to list Advil on previous page. Usually take  6 a day.) Appointment with doctor on February 12, 2019. Doctor said he thought pain may be related to vaccine but he doubted it. He thought a had pulled a muscle and prescribed a muscle relaxer and heat compress in am and cold compress 2 times a day. I do not think I pulled a muscle. Took 1/2 tab three times a day and compresses. Pain alleviated. Ceased taking muscle relaxer after one week. Pain has not returned.

Clinical narrative: The patient called the pharmacy in the morning on Saturday 3/2 stating she had slept all day Friday following the 2nd SHINGRIX dose and had just woken up with double vision, puffy eyes, puffy lips, and sores in her mouth. She was referred to urgent care, but when I followed up with her Sunday 3/3 she said she couldn't find one that was open and didn't want to go to the ER but was feeling a little better. I suggested BENADRYL which she denied because she was already too tired. I'm uncertain if she tried ZYRTEC which I suggested next. On 3/4 she followed up with her PCP then called me to let me know they were aware and that they wanted a copy of VAERS report if I did one. She said she was still pretty tired on 3/4, but other symptoms were seeming better.
