Vaccine: FLU3
Symptoms: Injection site discolouration, Injection site pruritus, Malaise, Nausea, Peripheral swelling
Clinical narrative: I received the flu vaccine for age 65 plus which I was told was high dose. 4 hours after the injection, I began to itch to the right of my left arm where shot was given. I noticed immeditaely that the site of the shot was black and blue. My arm began to swell and become very red and itchy. The redness and swelling increased on the following day and my entire body began to itch. I called the 24 hour nurse line at clinic who told me to use ice packs and benedryl cream. I called back a couple of hours later and and spoke to a nurse who said to go to hospital or closeby urgent care if worsens, use claritin, pill, and bendryl cream. On Sunday, I went to urgent care clinic. The swelling was less but very itchy all over arm and body. The swelling and redness went about 4 inches in length. I was given an injection of methypresidone and told I would feel better. On Monday, the 16th, I felt awfu; as I had not been able to sleep, I was dizzy and feeling unsteady. I had taken a claritin pill as the redness falred up during the Sunday night. I called the 24 hour nurse line on the 16 in the afternoon to say I felt awful, was still itching. He told me not to use claritin pill, just wait and the injection would work today, the 17th. Today, the redness is less and I am less itichy but I have felt sick all day with nausea, loose stools, dizziness, some itchiness this evening. I made an appt to go see Dr. at clinic tomorrow the 18th at 2:50.

Clinical narrative: My daughter was administered the flu shot at School by the Health Department. The nurse gave it in her left arm even though she is left-handed. The evening of the flue shot I asked my daughter how it had gone. She said, "Fine, but I fell asleep and missed most of P.E." I thought it strange that the P.E. teacher would let her sleep through class so asked more questions. She said she sat down on the bleachers to tie her shoes and then "fell asleep and fell over." Her friends shook her and asked if she was okay. She said yes. Then it happened again. She said she had a headache and was very dizzy and weak. She "couldn't see very well." She told the P.E. teacher she didn't feel well. He sent her to the office alone. (It was a short walk around the corner.)  She started walking, but had to sit down and rest before actually leaving the gym. (P.E. teacher did not see her pass out, thought she just felt sick.) At the office daughter told the secretary she wasn't feeling well. Secretary told her to sit down and rest, did not ask further questions, did not know she passed out. Daughter was sent back to class right before P.E. ended (about a half hour later?)  I was never contacted by the school concerning what had happened because did not know the actual events that occurred. My daughter herself didn?t know she had fainted. She thought she had fallen asleep.
