Symptom narrative

This nurse inadvertently picked up the meningococcal B syringe that she had just administered into this patient's R deltoid and inserted it into the L Deltoid, pushed the plunger and noted the plunger had already been depressed. Nurse then realized she had not picked up the Meningococcal (Menquadfi) that she intended to administer, but instead had picked up the used Men B syringe she had just injected into this patient. The needle cover was covering the needle, but had not locked into place. Patient did receive both intended vaccines.
