Symptom narrative

I made a mistake and administered the pediatric/adolescent Havrix instead of the adult Havrix. When I realized that I had made the mistake, I immediately notified my supervisor, and our Physician Assistant, They looked at immunize.org for the remedy to the error and it was decided that we needed to call the patients (Patient and her husband, , were both receiving travel vaccinations for a trip. I already submitted a VAERS report for Patients husband, VAERS 1060129, because the same mistake was made with his Hep A vaccination) to have them return on the same day for a second dose of the pediatric/adolescent Havrix to complete the first dose of the Hep A series. They returned around 3:30pm and both patients were given a second dose of the pediatirc/adolescent Havrix. The intramuscular injections were given in the same arm. The same lot number was used. I gave them a reminder to make an appointment on or after 1/9/26 for the second Hep A in the series.
