Symptom narrative

No additional AE/PQC.; HCP called and reported that during administration of PROQUAD to a child, the child moved their arm near the end of the dose which caused some of the residual liquid from the syringe to splash into the mother's eyes.; This spontaneous report was received from a Licensed Practical Nurse and refers to a female patient of unknown age. The patient's concurrent conditions, medical history, concomitant therapies, drug reactions or allergies were not reported. On 05-May-2025, the patient's child was receiving a dose of Measles, Mumps, Rubella and Varicella (Oka-Merck) Virus Vaccine Live (PROQUAD) (lot #Z003308, expiration date: 21-Jul-2026) as Prophylaxis; but during administration, the child moved the arm near the end of the dose (child case # 2282979), which caused some of the residual liquid from the syringe to splash into the patient's eye (accidental exposure to product); therefore, she was treated with eye flush rinse in the office, as treatment for the event. No additional adverse event (AE) was reported. At the reporting time, the outcome of the event was unknown. This is one of two cases reported by the same reporter.
