Symptom narrative

The patient claims that he experienced pain after receiving the Novavax vaccine at our pharmacy that did not go away after a few days as expected. He went to the doctor to get evaluated and the doctor told him that his tendon has been injected through during vaccination resulting in a hole. The doctor advised that this would not heal without surgery. The patient has been in physical pain since the vaccine and decided to get the surgery. He then had to have his arm in a sling for 6 weeks post operation and is still in physical pain. He will be starting physical therapy soon to help with mobility and the pain. The patient and his wife (redacted name 06/07/19xx) received the same vaccine on the same day. Spouse (redacted name) did not experience the same pain but notes that her vaccine was also given very high on her shoulder.

Lab data

I do not have exact dates but the surgery occurred in early 2025 and physical therapy is continuing throughout June/July 2025.
