Clinical narrative: Around 8 minutes after injections were given, patient stated she started having tingling in her mouth. Her primary care provider is located next door to the pharmacy. Pharmacist recommended her to be evaluated by provider. Pharmacy technician verified patient arrived and was being evaluated. Pharmacist attempted to call provider but was unable to get in contact over phone. Pharmacist was only pharmacist in building, so she could not leave the building. Pharmacy technician reported back that the patient was evaluated by primary care provider and her heart rate & oxygen levels were good. Provider recommended she come to the pharmacy and take 50mg of Benadryl and stay in the pharmacy for 30 minutes. Patient stated she started to feel light headed so she was recommended by pharmacy staff to go to the emergency room.  Pharmacist contacted local ER to notify patient was on her way, however, the provider saw her again and after some further discussion with the patient, he stated he believed it to be an anxiety driven reaction instead of an allergic reaction. Pharmacist also evaluated the patient and decided to go ahead and have patient take Benadryl and stay to be further evaluated at the pharmacy for a minimum of 30 minutes. Provider and patient agreed. Patient did not go to the emergency room. Patient took the Benadryl and came into the pharmacy for further evaluation. Pharmacist frequently checked status of patient. She stated after about ten minutes following Benadryl dose that the tingling was better but not completely gone. Twenty minutes following this, the provider came back over and evaluated the patient again. He listened to check for wheezing, which was not present. At this time, the patient reported to the pharmacist that the tingling in the mouth was gone. She did state that she had pain in the right arm at the injection site. The provider and pharmacist agreed that this was due from the injection itself. He cleared her to go home, but reminded patient to go to the ER if symptoms come back or if new symptoms appear. Pharmacist also added for her to contact the pharmacist if there are any changes or if she had any questions.  Patient's total evaluation time from injection to when she left with caregiver was almost 60 minutes. Patient went home with a caregiver.  Pharmacist contacted patient two hours following to check her status. She stated she still feels drowsy and her right arm is still sore. Pharmacist stated the drowsiness is a side effect of Benadryl and the soreness can happen due to getting an injection. Pharmacist will contact patient tomorrow to check on her status.

Clinical narrative: After alchol swabbing and placing inject-safe barrier bandage on patient's left deltoid  in appropriate area. Administered patient's vaccine with no issue. Her husband was also in the booth--I then proceeded to give him his vaccination. After finished with both, I asked if there was any questions and notice patients bandage was very swollen with blood. I asked if she took any blood-thinners, she responded just Naproxen occasionally for joint pain. She told me she wasn't in pain and this had happened to her before when she received a pneumonia vaccine. I got some more alcohol swabs, cotton balls, and band-aids to clean up the injection site and investigate. The injection site was in the appropriate area of the deltoid, but she had developed a swollen knot with black and blue coloring area around the injection site. The bleeding stopped after being cleaned. I encouraged the patient to follow-up with a doctor for further investigation, but she said she did not feel it was necessary since she wasn't in pain and has happened to her before. I still strongly encouraged her to go and let her know that I would report her reaction VAERS as I found it highly unusual.
