Symptom narrative

Patient spoke another language and we resorted to using a translator to help her fill out her questionnaire. During this process we accidently pulled the immunization history for her husband who has a very similar name. Her husband did need and rsv vaccine but she had already gotten one in February of this year so she did not need the dose we gave her today on 5/7/25. This mistake occurred due to a language barrier and a breakdown in our system. Patient was fine after receiving the vaccine.
