Symptom narrative

We had a 14 yo male patient that was behind on his vaccines establish care with us on 2-24-25. The parents signed the consent for this patient to receive 7 vaccines. Once the consent was signed the nurse left the exam room and prepared the vaccines. When she returned to the room with the vaccines the patient became very combative. He screamed, elbowed his dad in the face, smacked his mother in the face, and smacked the nurse's arm away from him with an exposed needle in her hand. The patient's agitation continued to escalate and the nurse instructed the parents to return with the patient at a later date/time and we would try again. We placed all the vaccines in a basket and returned them to the refrigerator. We did not know if the patient would return that afternoon, we also didn't know if he would comply if he did return. In an effort not to waste vaccines we used 2 of the vaccines from the basket on another patient. The patient did return that afternoon and the nurse replaced the vaccines that were removed from the patients basket. Unfortunately one of the vaccines was an additional MMR II vaccine instead of the vaccine that needed to be replaced. The patient was mistakenly given two MMR II vaccines instead of one. The nurse realized the mistake as she was documenting the vaccines in the NCIR. She immediately notified the parents and we monitored the patient in-office for an hour and a half. The nurse educated the parents on what side effects and/or reverse reactions to watch for. The nurse continued to check on the patient throughout that evening, night, and the next day. The patient did not experience any reactions or adverse side effects. He will return in 28 days from 2-24-25 to get the vaccine that he was not given on 2-24-25.
