Symptom narrative

Patient returned to pharmacy counter after sitting in his car for about 40 minutes. He stated his throat felt funny and scratchy. He said it occurred immediately after vaccination which was why he stayed and sat in his car. When it wasn't improving he came in. He was sat down and given a benadryl 25mg tablet. He stated he had received previous doses of covid vaccine at Pharmacy, so we called and they showed he had previously received both Pfizer (9/24) and Moderna (11/23). He never had any previous reaction. He laid down on the floor for about 1 hour. He asked for cool rag for his neck and water to drink. Pharmacists checked pulse which was ~60bpm and o2 sat was 96. He never experienced any difficulty breathing or swallowing. He did not think he needed EMS called. There was no visible reaction at the injection site. After about 2 hours in total, patient stated he felt fine to leave. Patient was contacted back today and stated he was fine and had no further side effects. He had been sent home with an additional benadryl that he stated he did not have to take.
