Clinical narrative: I went to get a flu vaccine at my local pharmacy clinic. I asked for the flublok quadrivalent vaccine because I had read that it was better suited for people with allergies, and who are prone to have allergic reactions. However, the nurse practitioner insisted that I get the flucelvax quadrivalent flu vaccine instead. She told me that she and her children had received the same vaccine, and that they didn't have a bad reaction to it. She told me that both vaccines were very similar. I thought it was odd that she just didn't give me the vaccine I asked for, but I didn't see any reason to press the matter. So I agreed to have the flucelvac quadrivalent vaccine which she kept insisting on. After she administered the flu vaccine to me I left. I didn't live far from the store. I started to feel tingling all over my body about 30 to 45mins after I received the flu vaccine.  When this started happening I thought that I must be having a mild reaction to the vaccine. The tingling and itching lasted all day. I was still itching some the next day, but this time I noticed that my left hand, on the arm that I received the injection was really really sore, and weak. My left arm muscles also ached and felt really fatigued. The muscle ache in my left hand, and arm lasted all day. Later on that night my entire body was experiencing muscle aches, and muscle fatigue. When I went to bed that night I took a Benadryl and went  to sleep. The next day the itching I had experienced had greatly diminished, but I was still experiencing muscle aches and fatigue all over my body. I have to lift heavy things at work, and for the past few days it has been difficult to do  so because of the muscle fatigue I've been experiencing. I am writing a report today, 10/17/20, because it has been a week since I received the flu vaccine, and I am still experiencing mild itching, muscle aches, and muscle fatigue.  I have never had such a bad reaction from receiving a flu vaccine before!

Clinical narrative: After I administered the flu vaccine, the patient stood up and I told her we were still processing her significant other's vaccination at the other counter. I told her she can "relax and hang out in flu shot area" while we get his flu shot ready. After we processed his vaccine, I was preparing it at the counter in front of the flu shot station. Her significant other called for my attention and his arms were wrapped around her head and shoulders. This was approximately 5 minutes after administering her flu shot. She was becoming unconscious and she started urinating on herself. Immediately, I called for my technician to dial 911 and a team member. I declared to her significant other that I was going to administer the EpiPen and then administered it to her left thigh. She then regained consciousness and was able to speak to us. Her significant other questioned how much she ate that day and she only ate one meal. While we were waiting for EMS to arrive, I was monitoring her heart rate and breathing. When EMS arrived, she said she had a history of fainting in the past with a nose piercing and has become light-headed when getting blood drawn. On the vaccine screening and consent form, question #3 states. "Do you have a history of fainting, particularly with vaccines?" - she marked no as her answer. She was able to speak, eat, drink, and to stand up to be placed on the stretcher to be assessed by EMS. I called within 24 hours to follow-up with the patient but she did not pick up and I was only able to leave a message.
