The pt then proceeded to "tilt" her head back, "lock" up, and her face began to turn bright red as if she wasn't getting oxygen. I then grabbed for my EPIPEN thinking that it might be an allergic reaction to the vaccines, but did not administer because the pt started to "snap" out of her episode.

Symptoms: Dizziness, Fall, Haemorrhage, Lip injury, Syncope
Clinical narrative: We decided to get a flu shot at local pharmacy. My daughter is up to date on all of her immunizations, and she has never fainted in her life before. She was given a flu shot and about 30-40 seconds after she collapsed on the hard floor in pharmacy. She broke her two front teeth and had a laceration on her lip. She came to her senses 5 seconds after the fall and she started having a panic attack and difficulty breathing. It was an extremely traumatic event for her and for me and my husband and for my 4 year old son, who witnessed everything as well. She had to be taken to the emergency to rule out concussion, brain bleed, trauma to the jaw and facial structures. One of the side effects of the flu shot is syncope (fainting). It is unacceptable that there are no suitable conditions in pharmacy to anticipate/prevent such kinds of things - like offering to sit down for several minutes after the vaccination, place to rest/lie down, carpeted area. Doctors should be aware of such complications and anticipate them, especially in young adults. We have researched the flu shot subject, and it is very common for teenagers to faint after the vaccine, so it must be administered differently. We are going to incur significant costs in terms of dental treatment, orthodontic treatment (we are in the process of ortho treatment), compensation for tests done in the ER.

Symptoms: Chest X-ray abnormal, Cough, Dyspnoea, Injection site erythema, Injection site induration
Clinical narrative: Varicella vaccine given 8/2/17. Redness and hard lump at injection site on 8/14/17 that lasted 2-3 days. On 9/1/17, minimal coughing started. Early on 9/2/17, went to ER due to difficulty breathing and barking cough. A chest X-ray was taken and we were told it was viral pneumonia. There was no treatment given since you can't give antibiotics for viral pneumonia. Followed up with primary doctor on 9/5/17 and lungs sounded better. Since this episode, she has had reoccurring congestion and coughing through November 2017. We are not sure if that's related to the original episode.

Symptoms: Fall, Limb injury, Seizure
Clinical narrative: Patient called on 12/10/2017 to ask if the vaccination could have triggered a seizure because she experienced one after receiving the flu shot on 12/9/2017 when she arrived home. Patient has had a history of seizures for several years and has been treated with Phenytoin 100 mg 4 capsules a day for control. I asked the patient when her most recent seizure was, she said she wasn't sure. I asked if it had been years or months and she said she wasn't sure, maybe years. She did document her history of seizures and is well known to the pharmacy. She also received a flu shot on 12/09/2016 with no adverse events and reported no previous seizure history after vaccinations. When asked to describe the seizure she said she fell a little into the counter and hurt her thigh. That was the most description she provided even when asked again to describe the episode. She said she is fine now but was just wondering if the flu shot could have caused it.
