Vaccine: VARZOS, VARZOS
Symptoms: Herpes zoster, Injection site rash, Pain, Subdural haematoma, Tremor
Clinical narrative: Information has been received from a pharmacist concerning a patient who on an unspecified date was vaccinated with a dose of ZOSTAVAX (Merck). Subsequently the patient came into the pharmacy one day after vaccination and had a zoster like rash at the injection site and had some pain and cellulitis. At the time of the report, the patient's status was unknown. Follow-up information has been received from the pharmacist concerning a 88 year old female patient who on 22-MAR-2010 was vaccinated with a dose of ZOSTAVAX (Merck). When the patient arrived at the pharmacy for vaccination she was too shaky to complete the paperwork. Several days later she developed a rash that was diagnosed as shingles and prescribed VALTREX and LORTAB. On 28-MAR-2010 the patient became confused "like a stroke" and called the pharmacy and it was recommended that she go to the ER. Instead she went to a relative's home and passed away during that night. The cause of death may have been a subdural (reported as "subdermal") hematoma as the result of a fall. Upon internal review, "like a stroke" was determined to be an other important medical event. Additional information has been requested.

Symptoms: Anaphylactic reaction, Cough, Drooling, Erythema, Headache
Clinical narrative: On Friday, April 2nd, I took my son to pediatrics for a well child checkup at 3pm.  At the end of his visit, he received two vaccines.  The DTAP, in his left deltoid, and the IPOL in his right deltoid.  Approximately ten minutes later, as we were leaving and I was putting my son in the car, my son started to uncontrollably cough and drool at the mouth, repeatedly saying, "This cough just won't go away, my throat."  I immediately returned back to the office where Dr. examined him; he examined his throat and listened to his lungs.  The coughing and drooling persisted.  My son also said his head hurt.  His face was beat red and I noticed the whites of his eyes were also red.  At that time, Dr. said he was going to call 911 because he didn't like the way my son was retracting.  He then received two nebulizer treatments, and was given some supplemental oxygen via nasal cannula.  His oxygen saturation was 95% at the time.  I then noticed the beginning of a rash on my sons chest and back, so my son was given 7.5ml of BENADRYL.  The doctor also attempted to give my son oral PREDNISONE, which he spit out.  The ambulance arrived shortly thereafter.  In the ambulance I noticed that my son had welts on his left arm.  By the time we arrived to the ER, my son was completely red, from his head to his torso.  His face was swollen, he had hives on his legs and welts on his left arm.  I noted to Dr., the ER doctor that the injection site on his left arm was also red and swollen.  My son was placed on a cardiac monitor and was given a epinephrine injection in his right thigh.  He also received additional BENADRYL and PREDNISONE via IV.  Shortly thereafter, things started to slow down, and the body rash faded and went away.  My son was discharged from the hospital at aprox. 8pm.  I was told by the ER doctor that my sons condition was "very alarming" upon his arrival to the ER, and that she has never seen this kind of reaction to a vaccine in her 30 years of practice.  I noticed that Clostridium tetani is grown in modified cassamino acid medium without beef heart infusion.  Casamino Acid is an acid hydrolysate of casein, and casein is a milk protein.  My son has a level 4 MILK ALLERGY.  Awareness needs to be brought to this, if this is the cause of my sons severe reaction.  If there truly are milk by-products in some of these vaccines, then it needs to be brought to the attention of the medical professionals, so that appropriate precautionary measures can be taken when administering vaccinations to children with food allergies.  My son experienced a life threatening, systemic, allergic reaction.  No child should ever be subjected to what my son experienced, and hopefully we can prevent this from ever happening again.

My son was placed on a cardiac monitor and was given a epinephrine injection in his right thigh.  He also received additional BENADRYL and PREDNISONE via IV.  Shortly thereafter, things started to slow down, and the body rash faded and went away.  My son was discharged from the hospital at aprox. 8pm.  I was told by the ER doctor that my sons condition was "very alarming" upon his arrival to the ER, and that she has never seen this kind of reaction to a vaccine in her 30 years of practice.  I noticed that Clostridium tetani is grown in modified cassamino acid medium without beef heart infusion.  Casamino Acid is an acid hydrolysate of casein, and casein is a milk protein.  My son has a level 4 MILK ALLERGY.  Awareness needs to be brought to this, if this is the cause of my sons severe reaction.  If there truly are milk by-products in some of these vaccines, then it needs to be brought to the attention of the medical professionals, so that appropriate precautionary measures can be taken when administering vaccinations to children with food allergies.  My son experienced a life threatening, systemic, allergic reaction.  No child should ever be subjected to what my son experienced, and hopefully we can prevent this from ever happening again.

Clinical narrative: On Friday, April 2nd, I took my son to pediatrics for a well child checkup at 3pm.  At the end of his visit, he received two vaccines.  The DTAP, in his left deltoid, and the IPOL in his right deltoid.  Approximately ten minutes later, as we were leaving and I was putting my son in the car, my son started to uncontrollably cough and drool at the mouth, repeatedly saying, "This cough just won't go away, my throat."  I immediately returned back to the office where Dr. examined him; he examined his throat and listened to his lungs.  The coughing and drooling persisted.  My son also said his head hurt.  His face was beat red and I noticed the whites of his eyes were also red.  At that time, Dr. said he was going to call 911 because he didn't like the way my son was retracting.  He then received two nebulizer treatments, and was given some supplemental oxygen via nasal cannula.  His oxygen saturation was 95% at the time.  I then noticed the beginning of a rash on my sons chest and back, so my son was given 7.5ml of BENADRYL.  The doctor also attempted to give my son oral PREDNISONE, which he spit out.  The ambulance arrived shortly thereafter.  In the ambulance I noticed that my son had welts on his left arm.  By the time we arrived to the ER, my son was completely red, from his head to his torso.  His face was swollen, he had hives on his legs and welts on his left arm.  I noted to Dr., the ER doctor that the injection site on his left arm was also red and swollen.  My son was placed on a cardiac monitor and was given a epinephrine injection in his right thigh.  He also received additional BENADRYL and PREDNISONE via IV.  Shortly thereafter, things started to slow down, and the body rash faded and went away.  My son was discharged from the hospital at aprox. 8pm.
