Vaccine: VARZOS
Symptoms: Feeling abnormal, Hyperhidrosis, Pallor, Peripheral coldness, Presyncope
Clinical narrative: Patient reported feeling very weird and sweaty.  Hands were were wet and cold.  She appeared pale.  I retrieved a nurse in occupational health (the area I use for administration, as pharmacy has no room) and her BP was obtained as 54 (only number heard).  A walk-in physician was called in to assess.  He brought another physician and 2 nurses.  She denied any swelling in throat, itching, rash, or trouble breathing. Her BP was attained again with a DINAMAP and was 156/80 with a pulse of 60.  BP reattained as 161/70 and pulse ox 95%.  She was able to sit up in a few additional minutes and moved to walk-in via wheelchair.  She was observed for about 20 more minutes and given juice.  BP normalized to 120/80 and pulse 60.  She is on BP medication and had not had lunch prior to this episode.  She was released by MD with her husband and told to lay down if symptoms reoccur and seek further medical attention.  She was to eat a light lunch and drink plenty of fluids.  MD assessed this as a vasovagal reaction to the vaccine and not a true allergic reaction.  She had no history of vasovagal reactions in past, but this, of course, was first shingles vaccine.

Clinical narrative: Initial report was received from a health care professional on 30 November 2011, who also provided a copy of VAERS report ID 441421. A 71-year-old male patient had received an intramuscular injection in the right deltoid of FLUZONE HIGH-DOSE, lot number UH458A on 19 October 2011. On the night of the injection, the patient complained of severe pain (an eight on a scale of one to ten) radiating from shoulder down to antecubital space and around to shoulder blade and he could only lift his arm half way to the shoulder level. Also he had a runny nose and sniffles. The patient was seen by his physician and was started on an unspecified medication which gave him undesirable side effects and was discontinued. On 01 November 2011, he was seen by a doctor and had an EKG and a shoulder x-ray. Both were within normal limits (WNL). As of 04 November 2011, the patient still could not raise his arm past 90 degrees, he had a light brown circular bruise and was feeling slightly better. A physician's (who is not treating the patient) professional thoughts are that the patient may have acute brachial plexus neuritis or Parsonage Syndrome. The patient had received regular influenza vaccine in the past without problems. The patient had no illness at time of vaccination and a history of hypothyroid. Concomitant medication was levothyroxine. No further information was available at the time of the report. The patient's outcome was not recovered. Documents held by sender: none.
