Symptom narrative

I entered the vaccine room and called the patients first and last name and th epatient and her aunt walked in. I confirmed the vaccines being administerd and they said yes to all three. Then the patients niece notified me that she is going to confirm with the aunt if she wants the COVID vaccine. After I patiently waited 10 minutes while they discussed, she notified me that her aunt does not want the COVID vaccine and she is going to only get tDap and Shingles. I administered the vaccines and they were pleased and happy. Then I stated the patients name and gave her the proof of vaccination. The niece turned to me and saif that is not my aunts name, you gave her the wrong vaccine. I stated to her that i confirmed her aunts name last name and the vaccines we were giving and she said yes to all of them. After speaking with them extensively, they left the pharmacy in a pleasant mood. I apologized to them that the error occured. I also stated to her that there is no harm in getting the tDap vaccine as she was eligible for a booster. The following day they called and were very upset with me. I apologized numerous times, asked her what I can do, besides apologize, to make the situation better. I showed as much empathy as I could have but she seemed to have made up her mind. She stated her aunts children are going to deal with this matter with a lawyer and that she will call me back.
