Symptom narrative

Patient came in for Well Child and was due for her Varivax. The Medical Assistant got the vaccine ready and had the second verifer check the vaccine. Both clinical staff signed off on the form. Medical Assistant noticed when she went to input vaccine into computer that the vaccine expired on 4/11/2025. This was a VFC vaccine and I will also report to them. Medical Assistant reached out to mom of patient and let her know what happened and notified the provider that patient was seeing that day. Medical Assistant did advise mom that patient will have to come back to get another Varivax, however there should be no negative effects of getting the expired vaccine.
