Symptom narrative

This patient was given the Prevnar20 and Boostrix vaccine under the account of another person who has a very similar name. The vaccines were processed and given under the wrong patient's profile. The patient who received the vaccines was actually due for the Boostrix vaccine but not for the Prevnar20 because she has already received it. The mistake was realized when we recommended these vaccines to a patient. The patient stated that she had already received a few weeks prior. We could not find it on her profile since it was processed for the wrong patient with a similar name. After investigating, we were able to locate the consent form that showed we gave the vaccines to the incorrect patient. The patient was advised and informed of the mistake. Has not experienced any adverse reactions.
