Clinical narrative: The County Health Department was on-site at Senior Living Community for a scheduled FLU Clinic on Wednesday, October 9, 2019. The event started at 10:00 a.m., but  we had been asked to visit the homes of two immobile patients in the community to administer their FLU shots. I received a call from Hospice to report agitation, delusions and anxiety which she noticed today (10/10/2019) from her patient in Hospice care. She said she was aware there may be no connection to the vaccine, but she wanted to report it since she had seen changes in mental status of both of her Hospice patients who had a Flu vaccine at yesterday's off-site Clinic. Hospice said she had given the patient Roxenol to settle him down. When our Nurse was there to administer the vaccine, she did not notice any of the symptoms described by hospice for patient. Nurse said the patient seemed responsive to her questions. His wife signed the Consent for him.

Clinical narrative: I received both the high dose flu shot and the second pneumonia shot at the clinic yesterday.  By the afternoon I had a very sore arm and general tiredness.  As the day transitioned into evening I had joint pain, headache, minor nausea, and a bit of trouble concentrating.  I took aspirin and went to bed.  When I got up in the middle of the night I still had all those symptoms, but they were joined by dizziness.  I was improved this morning, though the headache and a sore back have persisted through this evening.  The aspirin continues to help.  I do not think these symptoms were out of line with expectations, but I have never reacted to a flu shot with more than a mild soreness at the injection site.  I am reporting this just because I feel the high dose flu shot was perhaps inappropriate for me.  I am 66 years old (even though your form can't figure that out).  But I am in wonderful health and do not have any indications of having trouble with my immune system.  The clinic did not ask what kind of flu shot I wanted, the nurse just seemed proud that they had the high dose shot available.  Believe me, this is the last high dose flu shot I'm getting.

Her and her mother had left the pharmacy shortly after seemingly OK. I had called several hours later to make sure that the patient was OK. Her mother had explained that it had taken her about an hour or two to recoup, but she was OK and currently at work.  I had advised that it might be a good idea to have her daughter screened for any neurological or seizure disorder.  I had also explained that on the CDC website it was mentioned that young adults sometimes do experience syncope with shaking and muscle twitching and that it presents as ?seizure?,but in actuality it is not.
