Clinical narrative: Patient received the flu vaccine and had arm and shoulder pain shortly after receiving the vaccine, returned to clinic after 3 days as symptoms did not improve. Reports significant pain in her right shoulder. When vaccine was being administered, it felt similar to when she has received steroid injections in her shoulder. Swelling and bruising are present on the arm, unable to raise her arm due to pain and currently cannot drive (profession is a bus driver). Taking Tramadol 50mg Q6hours, Aleve 1 tab Q 6h, and Gabapentin 1500mg BID, and applying ice/heat. Denies fevers, weakness, paresthesias. H/o rotator cuff surgery in 2015. No signs of infection on exam today, but definite swelling, tenderness and decreased ROM makes me concerned for inaccurate administration. Given decreased ROM and previous history of rotator cuff tear, Xray performed and was non-significant. Recommended to continue Aleve BID and encouraged gabapentin 3 tabs TID until symptoms improve. Continue heat and ice applications.

Clinical narrative: This serious spontaneous case, reported by other healthcare professional to VAERS and initially retrieved on 11-Jun-2018 by Seqirus from VAERS (VAERS ID: 712719), concerns a 06-year-old female child. The patient had no medical history. However, at the time of vaccination, the patient had tonsillitis on 24-Aug-2017. The patient was allergic to cillins (as reported). On 07-Sep-2017, the patient was administered with FLUCELVAX QIV (dose: 0.5 ml (reported as 1 dose), route of administration: intramuscular, anatomical location: left limb, batch number: 195216, expiry date: not reported). On the same day of vaccination (07-Sep-2017), the patient developed redness and raised area around the vaccination site, which was noticed by the patient's mother at night. On 08-Sep-2017, the patient experienced flu symptoms and fever. On 13-Sep-2017, the patient consulted the physician. On an unspecified date, influenza A and B immunoassay was performed (results were not provided). The patient was advised to take NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) if fever exceeded 101 and continue fluids and rest. On the same day, redness at the injection site had diminished. The patient was recommended to follow-up after 2 to 3 weeks if not recovered. At the time of this report, the patient had not recovered from the events. Update 01-Aug-2018: Significant case correction was performed 11-Jun-2018: The verbatim was changed from 'presented on 9-13-2017 with flu symptoms [and fever]' to 'flu symptoms' for the event influenza and for the pyrexia the verbatim was modified from 'presented on 9-13-2017 with flu symptoms [and fever]' to 'fever'. The date of lab test, influenza A and B immunoassay performed was changed from 13-Sep-2017 to an unspecified date. The sentence in narrative was reframed from 'the patient took NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) if fever exceeded 101, fluids and rest' to 'the patient was advised to take NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) if fever exceeded 101 and continue fluids and rest.'
