Vaccine: RAB
Symptoms: Immune thrombocytopenic purpura
Clinical narrative: Initial unsolicited report received from the literature on 02 October 2015. The following is verbatim from the article: We describe a case of immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) occurring 15 days after the first dose of a 4-dose rabies vaccination series. ITP is thought to be an immune-mediated process triggered by an infection or toxin. There is little evidence in the literature beyond case reports of an association of ITP with vaccines other than with the measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine. This is the third reported case of ITP associated with rabies vaccination. Because of the rare occurrence of this adverse event relative to the severity of rabies infection, the benefits of rabies vaccination, when indicated, outweigh the low and possible risk of ITP. This case involves a patient (age and gender not reported) who was vaccinated with four-dose series of Rabies vaccine (batch number, expiration date, dose, route and site of administration were not reported) on an unspecified date. Medical history and concomitant medication were not reported. On an unspecified date, 15 days after the first dose of vaccination, the patient experienced immune thrombocytopenic purpura. Laboratory investigation and corrective treatment were not reported. The outcome of the event was not reported. Upon internal review, company assessed the event of Immune thrombocytopenic purpura after first dose of rabies vaccination as serious and important medical event. List of documents held by sender: none.

Clinical narrative: I received the intranasal vaccine in the morning on 10/06/2015.  I knew it was a live virus, at administration the vaccine burned the inside of my nose.  And by 10 pm in the evening a ILI illness began with a small amount of congestion and malaise.  This continued through the night and by the next morning I had a full on ILI.  Intense malaise, mild fever, congestion, watery eyes and sore throat.  Symptoms continued to worsen through 10/07/2015 and progressed to headache, sore throat, and cough.  There is no chest congestion by the post nasal drainage has resulted in intense coughing.  At the time of this report, on the am of 10/09/2015, my symptoms of ILI have only gotten more intense fatigue, joint aches, headache, sore throat, mild fever and cough.  I know this is a live virus vaccine and my reaction to virus is beginning to feel like full on Influenza.  I have had the intranasal vaccine 3 times prior while in the military and not had this robust and lingering a reaction.  I know the vaccine was maintained and administered correctly, but I wanted to submit a VAERS report.

Clinical narrative: I received the flu vaccine shot at my job on 10/8/2015 at 12:00pm.  I felt off from the minute the shot was given to me.  The arm the shot was given in felt tingly like it was falling asleep.  I left work at 1pm and went home. By 1:30pm I was wheezy, dizzy, and nauseous. I had a lot of tightness in my chest, I developed chest pains and it felt like I had a 5 ton weight sitting on my chest.  I felt like my chest was collapsing. I took 3 ibuprofen, two puffs of my ProAir inhaler, and 2 Dramamine and tried to lay down and rest, but I couldn't.  By 3pm these symptoms had increased in intensity and now my insides were racing and I felt like my heart was in my throat.  I felt like I had swallowed something whole and it was lodged in the very bottom of my throat.  At 3:30pm I had my aunt take me to the emergency room where I had an EKG and chest x-ray done.  I reported to the ER doctor and nurse that I had the flu shot earlier in the day and the quick onset of these symptoms.  I was not ill prior to or at the time of receiving the injection.  This is the second time I have ever received a flu shot. While at the hospital, I was hooked up to a heart monitor. My heart rate went back and forth between 85 and 100 beats perminute.  Once the doctor looked at my EKG and chest x-ray, he confirmed that I was otherwise healthy and that my symptoms were definitely caused by an allergic reaction to the flu shot.

Clinical narrative: On 10/07/2015, I received the GSK-FLUARIX quadrivalent flu vaccine at 1430.  Lot number 43E97-expiration 6/30/2016, NDC # 58160-903-52; this was obtained from a box received at the same time as the box from which my vaccine came.  I was the first to receive the vaccine, and the box was used in its entirety by other co-workers who have not reported any side effects so far.  The box for my exact vaccine was disposed of prior to realizing my reaction might need follow-up. At 1435, I started to feel a tingling sensation around my lips.  I was at work, where I had received the vaccine provided by the employer, and administered by a nurse on my unit.  I stayed with the other nurses for 15 minutes, and while the symptoms were not getting better, they were not getting worse, so I went home.  I took 50 mg diphenhydramine (Kirkland generic), Allegra-D 60/120 mg and Zantac 150mg, knowing that these were similar medications I had received for an allergic reaction to Keflex in 2011.  The symptoms lessened slightly after taking these medications. I saw a member of the employee health staff at 1630, and she advised me to be seen in the ED at our hospital.  At 1830, I did go to the ED.  My symptoms at that point were a slight worsening of the tingling around the edge of my lips and itchy eyes.  I did not feel short of breath, however, I could tell the OTC anti-allergy/anti-histamine medications were not going to be enough to relieve the itching.  They loaded me with prednisone 60 mg and sent me home on a prednisone taper. The peri-oral and eye itching continued until about midnight.  10/8/2015 at 0500 I took prednisone 60 mg, diphenhydramine 25 mg, loratadine (CVS generic) 10 mg and Zantac 150 mg, which all worked well to keep my symptoms to a minimum of oral and eye itching.  Since approximately 1600 10/8, or just over 24 hours post exposure, additional diphenhydramine 25mg, Allegra-D 60/120 mg and Zantac 150 mg is ineffective at relieving the itching.  Beginning at approximately 2100 10/8, the itching had spread to the entire body, most notable on scalp, ears and then somewhat on trunk and extremities. There is no rash or swelling of lips or eyelids at this time, just the pruritis. Friday, October 09, 2015, I returned to see a physician, and he provided me with a prescription for ondansetron 4-8mg ODT every 8 hours as needed for itching to replace the Zantac 150mg of which I took the first dose at 1700 today.  The itching continues, primarily of the face, scalp and neck, but still no rash.   As a nurse, I have received the flu vaccine provided by my employer for the past 10+ years, and I have never had a reaction in the past.  This is the first year I have received the GSK-FLUARIX quadrivalent, as my employer was unable to obtain it last year, but I did receive the FLUARIX trivalent in 2014, according to the employee health department records.
