Symptom narrative

The medical assistant pulled and administered Dtap for the child however since the child 10 years old and the Dtap immunization is recommended for children less than 7 years of age, this particular child should have received the Tdap immunization instead. The parents were notified of the adverse event and are aware that the patient's school may require the child to receive the Tdap immunization in the fall if they do not accept the Dtap immunization. The medical assistant was re-educated on Immunization administration as well as assigned additional learning modules and new safeguards were placed to prevent future adverse events.
