Vaccine: TD
Symptoms: Fibromyalgia, Hypokinesia, Injection site pain, Pain, Shoulder pain
Clinical narrative: Injection has caused severe intermittent pain in the left shoulder where the vaccine was administered.  I thought the nurse had stuck me a little high, only about an inch below the top corner of my shoulder, (where the corner of your shirts are measured), but I was in pain from my original injury, and did not really care at that time.  I thought it should have been closer to the middle of my upper arm.  The pain did not begin until somewhere between 24 and 48 hours after I was discharged, but that was expected.  When it had been a week, and the pain was not only not gone, but at times was a stabbing pain, I thought something was wrong.  My mother is a Ph.D. prepared nursing professor, (and my first call for all medical questions), but she told me that my fibromyalgia could have contributed to a longer recovery time, since it was administered so close to my shoulder, and fibro is manifested by joint pain, even if it is truly a muscle disorder.  But now, over three weeks later, the pain has not only caused the stabbing pains, but now often renders my shoulder useless, even if only for a short time, there are shooting pains to my elbow, the shoulder pain is more constant, and the sharp stabbing pains are more frequent and are not the least bit affected by pain medication I already take for my fibromyalgia and a permanent back injury, and these medications are very strong - 10mg. Percocet and 20-30mg. of Valium 1-3 times a day.  Nothing has helped, not cold, not heat, and as I mentioned, not pain medication.

Symptoms: Hypersensitivity, Incorrect route of drug administration, Injection site erythema, Injection site swelling, Pruritus
Clinical narrative: A 17 year old female received the meningococcal vaccine Menactra subcutaneously on 7/12/05 in the ambulatory adolescent clinic. The patient returned on 7/14/05 complaining of erythema, swelling, and itching at injection site. She was treated with Benadryl and ice. Her symptoms resolved. The nurse administering the vaccine reported this event. After further investigation, it was discovered that the vaccine was given by the wrong route. Menactra should only be administered intramuscularly. Packaging of the two meningococcal vaccines. Menactra-IM use - and Menomune - SQ use - are nearly identical. Menomune was previously the only meningococcal vaccine used by the clinic. This is the most likely cause for the administration error. Updates have been made within the impatient computer order entry system to only allow prescribes to select the proper route of administration Emails were sent to all outpatient clinics and administrators to alert them to the product differences.
