Vaccine: PPV, TDAP
Symptoms: Arthralgia, Injection site erythema, Injection site pain, Malaise, Rash
Clinical narrative: On Friday, 4/3/09, I received two vaccines, a tdap in the left arm and a pneumococal polysaccharide vaccine in the right arm. Within a few hours, I started having diffuse joint aches in my body. Also, my right arm started to have severe pain and locked up. Then, on looking at my arms, the left one looked okay, but the right arm, where the pneumonia vaccine was given, had a reddish marks and streaking going from the outer arm toward my underarm. I called the triage nurse for my medical insurance. I was instructed if it was not better by the a.m. to go to urgent care. She did not advise any treatment to be done in the meantime but said I could take my pain medicine if needed. On Saturday, April 4th, my arm was very locked up until getting into a warm shower; the pain was still present but improving, and the rash was much worse. I went to urgent care in the afternoon, as the rash was spreading. Because of my diabetes and other health issues, the physician prescribed Levaquin, but he said to wait until the next day (today) before starting it to see if my symptoms would improve. I have not felt well since the vaccination, and although the rash has lightened up, it covers a bit larger area, so I started the Levaquin today.
