| YF | YELLOW FEVER (YF-VAX) | SANOFI PASTEUR | 1 | uk125aa | SC / LA |
After I administered the yellow fever vaccine, patient expressed concerns about feeling sick since he had work that night and the next day. We were discussing about immune support supplements and what to expect if feeling unwell. After a couple minutes of talking, they were about to leave and I was going to direct them to sit outside for a while before heading out, but when patient got up to leave, he felt dizzy and his skin turned pale. Patient's girlfriend and I helped him to sit back down into the chair. Once in the chair, patient took deep slow breaths. I asked his girlfriend if this had ever happen before, but then patient fainted in the chair and his girlfriend held him upright. His body was contracting and eyes rolling to the back of his head. I left the room for help from other pharmacist. Someone helped to call 911, and I tried to call a manager through the phone, but no one picked up, so I went to the front of the warehouse to notify a supervisor to let a manager know 911 was called and to help direct them to the pharmacy. Another person went to the patient to check and make sure they were okay. He mentioned when the patient regained consciousness, he said he was "really thirsty". EMT arrived and they were directed to the vaccine room. We closed the door to give privacy and space. A supervisor came around a couple minutes later to let us know an ambulance was coming through the tire center to gurney the patient out. Once the ambulance arrived, they smoothly came through and helped the patient out.
