On 12-JUL-2014, the patient was vaccinated with a dose of GARDASIL lot # J010395, expiration date: 29-Apr-2016, 0.5 ml, intramuscular. There was no concomitant medication. On 12-JUL-2014, after receiving a dose of GARDASIL the patient immediately felt kind of weird. The physician stated the patient was monitored in the office, for an unspecified amount of time, and "eventually" felt better and left the office. The physician stated the patient called in to the office on the reporting date, 17-JUL-2014, stating she had developed a "lima bean size" induration at the injection site and was experiencing fatigue, nausea, lightheadedness that was "on and off" and pressure on her ears and forehead "that was similar to when she was in a car accident 3 years ago". No lab tests were performed. No treatment was received. The outcome of pressure on her ears and forehead "that was similar to when she was in a car accident 3 years ago", lightheadedness that was "on and off', nausea, fatigue and a "lima bean size" induration at the injection site was unknown.
