Patient came to the pharmacy today to receive a Polio vaccine per recommendation. Pt responded "no" to all vaccine precautions and contraindications on the immunization consent form. Pt reported receiving a Covid vaccine a few days before and preferred the polio vaccine on the same arm, so only the left arm would be sore. Pt did not report any other adverse effects from the recent Covid vaccine. Within minutes of administering the Polio vaccine, pt reported not feeling too well. Rph advised pt to stay seated in the the consultation room to be closely monitored. Pt requested some water and while waiting pt's condition started to get worse and pt reported feeling very light headed and about to pass out. Rph held pt to prevent any falls and pt slowly lost consciousness for a few seconds. Rph requested pharmacy staff to call for help, and while on the phone with 911 pt became responsive and requested that EMS is not needed. Pt was still not feeling well and felt like she is going to pass out. She felt nauseous and vomited. Rph stayed close by to prevent her from falling from the chair. Pt's blood pressure was measured and it was very low in 60s/30s and heart rate in 40s. After raising her feet up and drinking some electrolyte solution, pt's blood pressure gradually went up in the 70s/40s and heart rate in 50s, and pt reported feeling better. Pt's boyfriend was accompanying her and they were advised to go to a doctor's office or urgent care to monitor pt until her blood pressure/heart rate is back in a normal range. Pharmacy provided pt with an electric scooter to be transported to her car. Pt reported having a similar reaction to blood draw before but not to vaccines or as extreme as today. Rph reported the event to Dr, who evaluated the event as a vasovagal reaction and believes that pt received the proper care at the pharmacy.
