Symptom narrative

During the time of the vaccinations given my child saw the needle got a little scared so I began to hold his hands while soothing him. The M.A who administered the shots straddles his feet to clean injection shot and then gave 1 dose in left thigh(DTP) . Then unstraddled his legs and came over to his left side and began another shot (hep a). While standing on the side of me he accidentally poked my belly and administered me part of the dosage(upon feeling what I felt I looked down and he then was inside my sons thigh with same needle that was in me. He then pulled needle (a little of the medicine that was left van out the syringe. He bandaged both me and my son up. I asked what was I just injected with he said he did not know. I asked office how to report such an event,as I was not trying to get anyone in trouble but needed to report what had happened in case something happens. Once home I noticed soreness on my own stomach and hive had began to form on my way home from the appointment. I took two benedryls. Checked my sons sight and he had multiple bumps around the injection sight on the right thigh where he had been stuck with an used needle. And by nights end complained of his leg hurting and not being able or wanting to walk. I took pictures of both. The next day my own sight was reder in color and swoll. Skin irritated
