Clinical narrative: I had the PNEUMOVAX 23 vaccine administered to me despite the fact that it is recommended for ages <2 or >50. I now suffer extreme pain and debilitating results, including severe trauma. The following are listed symptoms of the said vaccination: a decreased appetite a slightly raised temperature irritability redness and swelling at the site of the injection feeling sleepy or not sleeping well Serious side effects of the PCV vaccine are rare, and include: a high temperature, possibly leading to convulsions (febrile seizures) allergic reactions, such as an itchy skin rash. I have experienced all of these symptoms to a severe degree since having the vaccination administered to me against my own knowledge. I have never had pneumococcal disease so why this vaccine shows in my health records as administered to me is yet another example of how I have been the victim of EXTREME MALPRACTICE. I expect that this will be reviewed and corrected, along with ALL OTHER VACCINES BEING ADMINISTERED TO THE HUMAN BEINGS THAT MAKE UP OUR COUNTRY AND NATIONS. THIS IS AN EXTREME ABUSE OF POWER AND OBVIOUS DISCRIMINATION AS WELL AS AN ATTEMPT TO MASS MINORITIES.

Vaccine: PNC13
Symptoms: Eye irritation, Eye pruritus, Syringe issue, Vaccination complication
Clinical narrative: Patient here with her son on 12/14/2020. Son was over due for vaccines, one of which was PCV13. During administration of the vaccine there was a plunger malfunction and the vaccine did not go through the needle, instead it splashed out of the plunger. Most of the vaccine ended of on the table but a drop did splash into patient's left eye. She immediately went to the restroom and her eye out with water. Prevnar 13 safety data sheet states if exposed in the eyes with vaccine the recommendation is a full 15 minute eye wash with proper solution but she declined this since she already flushed her eye with water. She reported some itchiness in eye but denied pain, blurry vision, or loss of vision. PCP came in to evaluate eye and did not notice any redness or other abnormality. Patent opted to go home with instructions that if she still feel itchiness she can flush at home with water or use lubricating eye drops.

Clinical narrative: On 9/15 I went to pharmacy and received the Fluzone high-dose vaccine by Sanofi. I have continued to experience pain at the injection site on my left arm for eleven weeks. It is not constant, and not sharp, but is rather a dull ache that seems to be deep in the muscle or shoulder joint. It is a daily pain that is annoying and sometime lasts for quite a few minutes on end. Raising my arm seems to restart the pain at any time. To me, it feels like the same discomfort that normally lasts only two or three days after a normal vaccine shot. I believe my pain goes well beyond the expected side-effect of "pain at the injection site" that was published in the Sanofi materials.

Symptoms: Chills, Deafness, Dizziness, Ear infection bacterial, Ear pain
Clinical narrative: I had my second Shingrix shot on at the pharmacy, 10/11. On 10/12 in the AM, I woke up with vertigo, chills, and a fever of 101. As these are common side effects, I wasn't concerned. The symptoms - other than mild vertigo/dizziness - subsided by 10/13. The mild vertigo continued and mild left ear pain began on 10/14. Ear pain continued, and, believing it was (as is often the case) viral, I didn't go to urgent care until 10/19, as the pain had not resolved. I was diagnosed with a bacterial ear infection and given amoxycillin. On 10/20 I woke up with high-tone hearing loss in the left ear (I was unable to hear the beep of my phone alarm or determine the direction the sound was coming from) and tinnitus. I called the urgent care aftercare phone line and was prescribed a Medrol pack and Flonase. After I finished the Medrol pack, I still had hearing loss, though it was a little better, and I had some mild pain in my left ear and a feeling of fullness. So on 10/27 I saw an ENT. The ENT found no signs of infections, but the hearing test showed significant hearing loss in the left ear. He prescribed a 12-day course of high-dose prednisone to help reduce inflammation. I took 60 mg for 6 days, then tapered off. My follow-up hearing test showed only a very small improvement. At this point, the ENT sent me for blood work and an MRI. The bloodwork and the MRI were all normal. That was the end of treatment. I continue to have hearing loss and tinnitus in my left ear, as well as having bouts of dizziness if I move my head too quickly. I do not know that the Shingrix vaccine caused this hearing loss, but I've ultimately decided I should report my experience because of the timing of the two events was very close

Clinical narrative: I would like to report an adverse event with Flucelvax. I received Flucelvax at my local pharmacy on 10/2/20 in the afternoon. I went to get the shot after lifting weights. It was administered IM into my upper left arm (deltoid) by a pharmacy student/technician, who was overseen by the pharmacist. By the evening, my arm was in significant pain where I could not use it. I rested, and by the next morning most of the pain had resolved, but it was still sore. I'm reporting an adverse event because my arm has been sore every day since 10/2/20, and it is still sore now. It is the most sore when I lift up or am changing shirts. I am a 30 yo female with no significant medical history. I have seasonal allergies (ragweed, pollen, etc).

I need to know if this kind of adverse reaction to the Shingrix vaccine is something I should be concerned about when I am able to get the COVID vaccine. I am in the high risk group, due to age and underlying medical conditions. I have not seen any medical professionals for this rash.

Clinical narrative: Received pneumococcal 23 polyvalent vaccine Lot #5034299 (Merck & Sharp?) In my left arm on Oct 29 at 9am. At bedtime I felt some soreness but the vaccine site appeared normal. On Oct 30th about 3pm, I had a sudden onset of shoulder pain, difficulty moving my left arm, wave of body aches including at my extremities, shooting pain down both legs and a headache. On examing the vaccination site, the area around it, including the joint area, was red. There were also red streaks going with continuing sharp pains in my thigh area. I took 50mg of benadryl and an extended release tylenol 650mg and went to bed. The following morning the whole area appeared less inflamed. The redness/rash was still present in the area where the vaccine was given and in a separate area about 2 inches in diameter located on inside of the arm. The body aches and pain are gone. I continue to have a headache. Am a little tired but am able to function normally. I reported this to my doctor through the patient portal.
