Patient came to pharmacy asking to get mmr vaccine due to recent out break. Patient takes medication (Actemra) for arthritis. The medication lowers the immune systems response. This was accidently over looked and the vaccine was administered. Patient had a rash that popped up later that evening into the the next morning on her arms and back. The patient was advised to go get checked out by ER or family dr at the least. The patient decided that she would go get checked if the condition worsened. She said at the time she was not in pain and was only curious if having the rash was normal after receiving the mmr vaccine. Patient does not fill the Actemra at this pharmacy and was advised to reach out to the pharmacy that fills the Actemra for a second opinion and additional info about possible side effects with the medicine and the live vaccine. She was also advised to ask her rheumatologist when to stop or continue with the next dose of her Actemra. Pharmacist did call once each day for 3 days following the identification of the event to check on patient and reiterate importance of checking with rheumatologist, other pharmacy and ER or family dr of second opinions about Actemra and possible other side effects.
