Symptom narrative

The patient, was receiving the Varicella Vaccine. Upon the initial administration attempt the patient flinched in a manner that was greater than expected. When the patient flinched, the mother, who was bracing the child was grazed by the sterile needle. This did not become apparent/noticeable as the child was in a heightened emotional state, so a second successful attempt was made in delivering the entirety of the vaccine. After assessing the child the mother brought to the Nurses attention that she had been grazed by the needle. The mother, who received none of the dosage of the vaccine, did not express any complaint or concern at that time. Supervisors were contacted for guidance. No treatment rendered at the time of the visit. Time frame, Administration time 09:50 am February 6th, 2025.
