Symptom narrative

Patient goes by nickname and was in pharmacy system as nickname and Pharmacist though that was patients given name. When looking up in vaccine database, the first name was inputted as nickname and as a result a very short list history was populated for the patient. Pharmacist did not se a history of pneumonia vaccines on the state data base as well as no history of pneumonia vaccine on patient profile at pharmacy. It was decided that giving the vaccine was appropriate given no history and patient eligibility. After the vaccine was administered, pharmacist was preparing to submit a report to the company to have patient's vaccine records updated on the database because he noticed the patient did recieve other vaccines at their pharmacy which were absent from the database. When preparing the report he realized that he had since updated nickname to given name a bit earlyer prior to the vaccine administration on his profile to allow for insurance billing. Pharmacist then checked database once more with the first name as given name instead of nickname and the patients record was indeed there, also showing that the patient had recieved the Prevnar 20 vaccine on 7/25/25. Pharmacist informed patient immideatily upon discovery.
