Clinical narrative: I am the patient and am reporting the following adverse reactions: after receiving this vaccine on November 17, I had no ill effects until the morning of December 1, 2017. I awoke with crushing chest pains and a rapid heartbeat - my physician husband and I proceeded to the ER, thinking I was having a heart attack. Extensive stay and tests in the ER resulted in determination of no heart attack, no elevated BnP or cardiac enzymes. I was discharged to home that day. I continued to have the following systemic symptoms: chills, cough, rapid heartbeat, sneezing,sore throat, tightness in chest, decreased urine output, painful and burning urination and general feeling of malaise for the next three days. By December 3, I had recovered as these very strange and multiple symptoms seemed to have worked their way out of my body. I made appointments with my cardiologist and gyn doctors to continue checking for causes. Lengthy cardiac workup (stress test, PET scan, etc) all proved negative. Tests for UTI was negative. I strongly feel that the vaccine and recent multiple cortisone treatments had interacted, as reported in recent literature.   This report has been delayed as I experienced a serious fall which results in a total knee replacement with complications (and my husband had serious health issues).

Clinical narrative: Narrative: Patient is a 62 yo male with HTN, T2DM, and diabetic peripheral neuropathy presenting to ED 10/17/18 with two months of progressive weakness and muscle pain resulting in falls. Two months ago, pt reports muscle soreness began the day after he received the Shingrix vaccination (8/27/18). 2-3 weeks later, pt reports fairly rapid progressing weakness, initially developing in his legs and spreading to his arms. Patient reported feeling ?sore and weak all over?. Additionally, patient reports having approximately 5 falls, with 2 occurring prior to the Shingrix administration. Patient denies feeling weak or sore before the vaccination and attributes the falls to feeling off balanced.  After the Shingrix vaccination, patient wrote into his PCP on 9/10/18 complaining of soreness in every joint, muscle, tendon, and bone in his body. Patient also reported losing almost all of his muscle strength and unable to lift 15 pounds. Though the symptoms subsided, patient reported he still felt very weak and tired. PCP attributed the symptoms to the vaccination. Meloxicam was later prescribed for pain.  Patient's weakness had progressed to the point that he couldn't lift his legs and needed assistance out of chairs and cars. He was also unable to lift a glass or bottle, using a straw to drink. Though pt is now discharged, he remains very weak.  PMH includes diabetic neuropathy resulting in baseline numbness in his feet and ankles that has remained unchanged.

Clinical narrative: On Tuesday, XXXXX, my wife and I stopped by the XXXX Pharmacy, XXXXXX to get two vaccinations: a tetanus shot for myself and a shingles shot for my wife. At the counter, a young woman asked if she could help and I told her that I needed a tetanus shot and my wife a shingles shot. During our conversation, the woman twice verified that I needed a tetanus and my wife a shingles. After filling out some forms we were told it would be 20 minutes before someone would be available to give us the vaccinations. Returning after 20 minutes, we had to wait another 20 minutes before being escorted into a consultation room where everything was all laid out. The woman giving us the shots (not the same as the first woman) asked our birthdates, but cut both of us off after the day/month. My wife went first. As I was sitting down to receive my shot, I commented about why I needed a tetanus shot and asked why my doctor would recommend me to get one? She was concentrating on giving me the shot and mumbled something about every 10 years and something about measles shots. My wife asked if my shot had the measles vaccination as well. "No" was her response. She never gave us any information about the procedure or the medicine. After she gave us both our shots, she suggested we hang around for a few minutes to see if we had any after effects. Neither of us had any, so we completed our other errands and went home. When we got home, I examined the paperwork given us at the pharmacy and I noticed that the injection given me was "SHINGRIX VIAL KIT", not a tetanus shot. My first reaction was: "They could have killed me!" They injected me with a drug that I have no desire to take, never taken, and have no idea how I would react to the drug! I was/am outraged over this. I called back to complain and, I believe I spoke to the woman who gave us the shots. When I stated our grievances, she responded with a flat, emotionless, "Ok". Unwilling to admit there error, I called the store manager and because he "was in a meeting", had to deal with the store assistant manager who agreed that this was a "big deal" and that she would investigate and get back to me. She ended our conversation with "Have a nice day!" which only aggravated me even further. How could I have a good day when someone just gave me an injection of something I did not authorize? To make matters worse, my wife examined the additional "XXXXX Alert Immunization Information" sheets accompanying our paperwork and the one attached to my vaccination was from some other patient! So, now they give me the wrong drug and revealed another patients private information!
