Symptom narrative

Almost immediately after receiving 3 vaccinations patient stated he wanted to remain seated for a few minutes. He appeared to be light headed and dizzy and stated that this sometimes occurs after receiving vaccines. Pharmacist stayed with patient and fanned him to help him stay cool. Patient was taking deep breaths. Pharmacist sent work associate to get patient a bottle of cold water to try to cool patient down. Patient took a sip of water and immediately passed out. This was approximately 5-8 minutes after vaccinations completed. Pharmacist was standing in front of patient and his head fell into pharmacist. Patient was unconscious for approximately 30 seconds. Pharmacist called for associate assistance and off duty EMT shopping in store came to assist. Local emergency assistance was called and arrived at pharmacy in about 10 minutes. Patient's blood pressure was monitored and EKG was taken. EMT staff stated at first patient blood pressure appeared low but within about 5 minutes returned to normal.
