Symptom narrative

Site: Pain at Injection Site-Medium, Systemic: Scratch at injection site after needle came out during injection-Medium, Additional Details: The patient jumped when the needle first penetrated into the muscle. When I began to push the plunger she pulled away quite suddenly and the needle came out of her arm and scratched her down her arm about 1.5 inches. I cleaned the area with alcohol wipes and cotton then applied band-aids. I offered to re-administer the vaccine in the other arm but she said she would return later.
