Vaccine: FLU3, PPV
Symptoms: Malaise, Myalgia, Pain in extremity, Skin warm, White blood cell count increased
Clinical narrative: I started feeling ill a few hours after receiving both the flu shot and the pneumonia vaccine. I've never had a reaction to the flu shot, this was the first time I've gotten the pneumonia vaccine. My arm pain intensified throughout the night at the injection site and around it and I felt really bad, first a headache and then chills and muscle aches. By morning I was terribly weak and my joints and muscles were in terrible pain, I could barely walk a few steps without having to sit because I was so week. I would get the chills with my teeth chattering and then I would get so hot my skin felt like I could cook on it.  I couldn't get into my doctor on that Monday but by Tuesday I was still sick and my doctor instructed me to go to the hospital. They admitted me with a WBC of 15,000 and all my other symptoms. On Wednesday the 23rd my WBC had dropped to 11,000 and I was feeling a great deal better.  I still have the headache on 11/25 but other symptoms have subsided.

Symptoms: Abdominal pain, Alopecia, Antinuclear antibody positive, Aphthous stomatitis, Autoimmune disorder
Clinical narrative: First started with inflamed arm where the vaccine was given, weak arm muscle, severe 4 day migraine, stiff neck, lower right back pain, and nausea. Both legs started to continuously have tingling in them. I tried a chiropractor and it was not improving the neck stiffness, lower right back pain, or tingling. I started to have very frequent urination, constipation, severe nausea, more migraines, and rashes on my abdomen with abdomen pain. My next period was 7 days late. I experienced very light slight spotting. I passed a tannish/gray, continuous, vessely, fleshy tissue with some light bleeding. It was a light period and only lasted 2 days then was gone. It was unusual because my period has never been late and is always very heavy and 7 days. I thought I had a miscarriage so I went to the ER but the pregnancy test was negative. My period has been messed up since, only lasting a couple days and very light. The tingling in my legs lifted for the most part then it rapidly spread up my left arm, the left side of my head, left face, left neck, and left chest. It occasionally would tingle in the right side of my head and right arm but not as often. When the tingling in my legs lifted my legs were so weak I could barely walk and was having great trouble. Since then I have had veins popping out everywhere that cause a rash on my wrists and arms, canker sores, organ pain below the left and right ribs, kidney pain, sores all over my scalp with hair loss, blister-like bumps on my finger, toe, and face, orangey-red calluses and dots on my palms, flashing lights and blackened vision on the sides, left chest pain that goes out toward shoulder, shortness of breath, dizziness, confusion, not thinking clearly, nerve pain in the head, leg pain, severe muscle spasms all over body, numerous and unexplainable bruises all over body, blood in mucus, alternating constipation and diarrhea, occassional blood in stool, white tissue-like lining in urine, and re-occuring bloody noses.

Clinical narrative: I have had flu shots for the last 10 years and I have never had one hurt as bad as this one did. The shot was administered higher on my arm than I have ever had. It was very sore to move for the first few days and then it felt better. About a week later, I woke up and could barely move my arm. It was sore where I received the shot and my arm was tingling even down into my fingers. I couldn't undress my self, doing the simplest tasks were made very difficult. My arm felt very heavy and ached. I felt a rushing of coldness in my upper arm. Sleeping is impossible on my right side. I will wake up at least 5 times throughout the night in pain because my arm is in a position that hurts me. This pain did go away for about a week and then I woke up yesterday morning, and the same pain is back.

Clinical narrative: This case was retrieved via a search of scientific literature on 11 November 2011. The reporter for this case is the same for case numbers: 2011-11265, 2011-11267, 2011-11271, 2011-11272 and 2011-11371. "Background: TDAP vaccine was not licensed for use in adults aged greater than or equal to 65 years due to lack of sufficient efficacy and safety data. To characterize reports to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) among adults aged greater than equal  to 65 years who received TDAP vaccine 'off label' to assess for potential vaccine safety concerns. We searched VAERS for reports of adverse events (AEs) in subjects aged greater than or equal to 65 years who received TDAP vaccine from 9/1/2005 to 9/08/2010. Medical records were requested for all reports cases as serious (death, hospitalization, prolonged hospitalization, permanent disability, life-threatening illness). Proportional reporting ratio (PRR) was used to assess for higher proportionate reporting for AEs after TDAP compared with Td reports in subjects aged greater than or equal to 65 years. VAERS received 243 reports following TDAP administered to persons aged greater than or equal to 65 years. Eleven (4.5%) reports were serious, including two deaths. Most common AEs were local reactions in 100 (41.2%) reports. Seventy-eight (32.1%) reports contained coding terms that denoted inappropriate administration of vaccine. 'Cough' was the only term associated with disproportionately higher reporting after TDAP compared with Td. Six of seven Tdap reports containing the term 'cough' were non-serious. Clinical review of serious reports identified no unusual patterns of AEs. Our VAERS review of the 'off label' use of TDAP vaccine in adults greater than or equal to 65 years did not find any safety concerns that warrant further study. These date will provide useful baseline information to assist CDC and FDA with monitoring efforts as permissive recommendations for TDAP in older persons are adopted." A 77-year-old male patient had received on the same date DTAP vaccine (manufacturer, lot number, route and site of administration not reported) and yellow fever vaccine ( manufacturer, lot number, route and site of administration not reported) and 2 days later presented with fever, nausea and generalized weakness. The patient was hospitalized for one week after vaccination and died 19 days after vaccination for multiorgan failure due to septic shock. Documents held by sender: None.
