Symptom narrative

The patient was given the vaccines. He had seemed to have done well after the vaccine & was chuckling as both RN and mother praised him for receiving his vaccines. The RN stepped out about a minute after administering and heard screaming. RN came back in and patient had an episode of syncope that resulted in a head injury with the head making contact to the chair from the examination table. Patient seized for roughly 5 seconds with eyes closed. The patient opened his eyes startled & began to cry from the pain of the fall. The patient was then brought to the table and vitals were taken. Patient described tingling in both of his hands. The EMTs then arrived and assessed patient - RN relayed head injury and seizure activity.
