Symptom narrative

I was told I was being given a tetanus shot it was not explained to me they were giving me the combination shot that included pertussis. I have never received the pertussis vaccination and even had a note in my file as a child that said I needed to be kept home if there was an outbreak of whooping cough. I did not consent to receiving the TDAP vaccination and would not have consented to receiving it. If they did not have the Td vaccine in the hospital I would have completely declined the vaccine as what caused my wound does not have a high risk for tetanus. I realized I was given the incorrect vaccine about 7 hours after when I was reading my discharge papers, I contacted the hospital who said they would do their own investigation to find out why I was not told what medication I was being given but of course there is no way to take back the vaccine.
