Symptom narrative

The patient was sitting on the patient table/bed for the vaccine, as per protocol for pediatric patients for the nurse to get a good landmark of the upper arm to administer the vaccine. Vasovagal syncope occurred seconds (within the minute) after the vaccine was administered. The exact time reported under patient information may not be accurate, but it was definitely within the minute after the vaccine was administered. The patient fell off the patient table/bed after the vasovagal syncope and broke his nose. He quickly regained conscious after the fall. He had visits with the ENT doctor and required "closed reduction of nasal fracture" on 6/18/24. The patient did not return to our clinic after the vaccine, so I am not aware of any longterm outcomes.
