Symptom narrative

My son was receiving his SECOND dose of the GARDASIL vaccination. As the nurse was pulling out the syringe and placing a bandaid over the injection site, my son fainted and had 3-4 small convulsions. This was NOT due to fear, as he is not afraid of medical situations or vaccinations. He had blood drawn intravenously about five minutes prior to this vaccination for another medical test with no issues or concerns. This appeared to be a reaction to the injection/vaccine, which he did say hurt more than usual injections. He was unconscious for maybe 7 seconds total and regained consciousness. Doctor's office had him continue to lie down for about 10 minutes and drink some juice, then slowly sit up until he was ready to stand and leave. So, far he seems okay one month later.
