This spontaneous case, initially received on 20-Sep-2018 (initial and follow-up combinedly processed) from other health professional (pharmacist), concerns an 80-year-old, elderly, male patient. On 19-Sep-2018, the patient was administered FLUAD (TIV) [dose: less than 0.5 ml, route of administration: intramuscular, anatomical location: deltoid, batch number: 250787 and expiry date: 30-Apr-2019]. During administration, while the plunger was normally pressed, the medication leaked out between the needle and the barrel of the syringe (reported as locker device) (explicitly coded as syringe issue), and hence the patient received only partial dose of vaccine (explicitly coded as incomplete dose administered). The threading between the two was not secured. It began to leak, and majority of the vaccine ran onto the patient's arm (explicitly coded as exposure via skin contact). BD Safety Glide Needle was used. There were no signs of damage on the syringe. The needle appeared to be tightly attached. It was reported that the reporter always tightened the needles before administration. The syringe was stored in the original packaging before use. The health care professional was not exposed to the vaccine. This case was associated with product technical complaint (PTC) and the corresponding reference number was 1033424. No adverse event was reported. The reporter assessed the case as non-serious. Update received on 02-Nov-2018: Non-significant case correction (20-Sep-2018): The narrative was amended accordingly. Update received on 11-Nov-2018: Non-significant case correction (20-Sep-2018): The term 'QA reference number' was changed to 'PTC reference number' in the notes section of the additional information tab.
unusually severe UTI - with severe symptoms including dysuria and hematuria just 3 hours after initial episode of mild dysuria.
Patient developed significant thrombocytopenia 3 days after vaccination (platelet count 35,000).  Other counts normal, no clinical bleeding. Lab was ordered as part of a work up for persistent abdominal pain (which was present before the vaccine)
First, I don't know if the Lot # on the card I received contains 0 as in zero or O as in the letter.  It might be 20A at the end and not 2OA with the letter O.  As for the adverse event, after 24 hours had a bit a sore arm, some redness and hardness in the area of the injection.  Seemed to go away in a day or so for the most part then I forgot about it until last night, 2-22-21 (eight days after injection) when I noticed rather large oval-shaped red mark about the size of an egg.  Slightly elevated but not bad.  No pain.  A little itchy but not bad.  So I googled it quickly today and I find out that it's not all that uncommon and likely more common than you realize because most guys aren't going to take the time to report something like this, in my opinion.   I see that some of the health care workers are being quoted as saying it's probably either an allergic reaction to a vaccine ingredient or an immune system reaction.  In my opinion it's the latter, at least with respect to me as several years ago after being bitten by a honeybee in palm of hand in fat part near thumb a similar thing happened.where it hurt and was red for a day or two or three and then seemed to recede but then came back with a red mark bigger than before, but it didn't hurt much, more of an itch if I recall correctly.  So for some reason that's apparently how my immune system fights off something foreign.  I have type A blood I believe, if that matters.  I think I have a pretty good strong immune system for my age, as well.  Hopefully the second shot will not produce that much more of a reaction because of this or how I'm reacting now to the first shot.  No big deal just a lot of unknowns.  I'll follow the news on this in the next couple weeks and report back if anything develops further.
