Pt had an appt with PCP and was administered the shingles vaccine at 9:08. She states she developed a HA and nausea by 11:00 am that lasted the remainder of the day. She woke up the next morning to red spots on her arms, chest and back and felt like her skin was on fire. She also has developed several random bruises on her arms. Her arm is still very painful at the injection site. She has tried cortisone cream and Benadryl with no relief. Pt denies SOB. Keep cool and well-hydrated. Start fexofenadine 180 daily x 1 week.
