Symptom narrative

Pt came in for an MA visit for vaccines and brought the pt's vaccination record. The vaccination and database was reviewed by both me and another MA. My vaccine preparation was double checked by another MA. We administered the Kinrix vaccine. Pt tolerated it without complaint. I later realized that the pt had already received 4 doses of the polio vaccine and both me and the other MA missed it when reviewing the vaccination record. The state was notified and their response was "The child should not have received Kinrix as it is only licensed through 6 years of age. However, the Dtap can be considered valid so revaccination does not need to occur. The extra IPV dose should not harm the patient but it should be reported to VAERS as an administration error. " I notified the pt's mother of the vaccine error, additional polio vaccine, the pt's mother said "thank you for letting me know" she spoke in a calm voice, expressed no concerns about the extra polio dose. She did say the pt's arm, at the vaccine site, did have swelling and redness, she reported that she "put potatoes on it" and the pt's arm "went back to normal on" 4/13/25. After that, pt's mother had no further questions
