Symptom narrative

On an unknown date, the patient received Boostrix. On an unknown date, an unknown time after receiving Boostrix, the patient experienced inappropriate age at vaccine administration (Verbatim: Boostrix + possible use before recommended age). The outcome of the inappropriate age at vaccine administration was not applicable. Additional Information: GSK receipt date: 22-MAY-2025 Doctor called to ask information about approved age of Boostrix being to patients older than 10 years of age. They did not have a specific case at the moment of call but mentioned sometime in her facility they receive 7-year-old patients that need to catch-up on the Dtap vaccine schedule which led to inappropriate age at vaccine administration, and wanted to review information to make clinical decision.
