Symptom narrative

Mistakenly had his doctor office give him another shot of Prevnar; Pain in his upper arm at the site; This is a spontaneous report received from a consumer. A 66-year-old male patient received Pneumococcal 20-valent conjugate vaccine (Diphtheria CRM 197 Protein) (PREVNAR 20), on 29Jan2025 as dose 2, single (Batch/Lot number: unknown) at the age of 66 years, in left arm for immunisation. The patient's relevant medical history included: "High cholesterol" (unspecified if ongoing). Concomitant medication(s) included: ROSUVASTATIN taken for blood cholesterol increased. Vaccination history included: Prevnar 20 (DOSE 1), administration date: 13Jan2024, when the patient was 65-year-old, for Immunization. The following information was reported: INCORRECT DOSE ADMINISTERED (non-serious) with onset 29Jan2025, outcome "unknown", described as "Mistakenly had his doctor office give him another shot of Prevnar"; VACCINATION SITE PAIN (non-serious) with onset 2025, outcome "recovered" (2025), described as "Pain in his upper arm at the site". Relevant laboratory tests and procedures are available in the appropriate section. Therapeutic measures were not taken as a result of vaccination site pain. Additional Information: No other vaccine administered on the same date of the suspect product. This is in reference to Prevnar 20. The patient wanted to know what Pfizer has in reference to somebody that has taken Prevnar 20 and what do they think would happen if that person takes another Prevnar 20 (or possibly Prevnar 13; pending clarification) just over a year later because the patient was told that Prevnar 20 is good for life. The patient mistakenly had his doctor office give him another shot (second dose) of Prevnar on 29Jan2025; he took the first dose of Prevnar 20 on 13Jan2024. The patient had no side effects except the pain in his upper arm at the site where it was injected so and it was like 4 to 5 days ago. Regarding the adverse event, that's the normal thing for an injection according to the patient. The patient only had that pain there for about a day it's gone too now. It's normal to experience that thing. The patient didn't have any problem with that. So, the patient was not having any problem. That was it and no other problems. The patient was just wondering what Pfizer says about somebody that got it, and it is just over a year later. They said it was good for five years so would that be the Prevnar 13 or that wouldn't be the Prevnar 20. The information on the batch/lot number for Pneumococcal 20-valent conjugate vaccine (Diphtheria CRM 197 Protein) will be requested and submitted if and when received.
