Symptom narrative

PATIENT CAME IN FOR FIRST SHOT OF SHINGRIX ON 7/7/25 AT APPROXIMATELY 9:30AM. RECONSTITUTION WAS UNREMARKABLE, HOWEVER, IN THE PROCESS OF ADMINISTERING THE VACCINE TO HER LEFT ARM, THE PATIENT JERKED TO THE RIGHT-- THUS REMOVING THE SHOT AFTER IT WAS INSERTED AND THE SUBSEQUENT VACCINE SQUIRTED ON HER LEFT ARM. IT APPEARS THAT AN UNDETERMINATED AMOUNT OF VACCINE ENTERED THE PATIENT'S ARM. IT CAN BE CONFIRMED THAT THE NEEDLE FROM THE SYRINGE DID BREAK SKIN AS THERE WAS A DROP OF BLOOD AT THE SITE OF INJECTION. I SUBSEQUENTLY GAVE THE PATIENT A 2ND SHOT FROM THE SAME VACCINE LOT TO THE RIGHT ARM. THIS SHOT WAS SUCCESSFUL WITH NO ISSUES.
