Subsequently on an unknown date in January 2017, the patient was vaccinated with second dose of GARDASIL 9 (lot, expiry date, dose and route were not reported) for HPV prevention. The reporter stated that, the patient's physician initially told her family that she did not need to get the third dose, however, the reporter said approximately on 12-MAR-2019 (reported as about a week ago) the patient was vaccinated with third dose of GARDASIL 9 (strength, dose, lot number, and expiration date were unknown) for HPV prevention under the physician's recommendation in order to complete the series even though the 3rd dose was administered very late (inappropriate schedule of vaccine administration). Other suspect therapies included meningococcal vaccine (unspecified)(MENINGITIS SHOT) which was concomitantly given in the right arm almost in the same exact spot. The reporter stated that, the patient did not have any side effects or issues to neither the first or second dose, however, after she was given the 3rd dose more recently ("a week ago") she immediately developed a lot of pain, swelling and inflammation in her right arm down to her wrist area and her arm became "hot" to the touch as well(feeling hot). Approximately on 13-MAR-2019 (reported as the next day, after the patient had received the third shot) as she "was holding up her arm to put her shirt on to go to school," the patient suddenly felt "pain in her chest" (chest pain) and she had "trouble breathing" and she ended up "dropping 'to the floor not completely passed out but almost passed out(dizziness).
