A minute after the patient received the vaccination (3:01 PM EST), RN (vaccinator) saw the patient's head fall to her side. RN asked if she was okay. Nurse began to fan her and assisted her in inhaling and exhaling. The patient became conscious after a few seconds and started responding to nurses. The patient said she couldn't see, and the patient fainted again, while nurse was still fanning her. They proceeded to move the patient to the floor and decided to call 911. Now conscious again, nurse proceeded to fan and help the patient breathe. While on the floor, blood pressure was checked via pulse ox. After a couple of seconds, the patient started to feel better and asked not to be taken to the hospital. Father explained that this has happened in the past with other vaccinations. EMT arrived and nurse explained the situation, informed them of a possible vasovagal episode. EMT said they figured it was that and proceeded to recheck vitals and perform an EKG out of precaution. The patient's father and the patient declined transportation to the hospital. Nurse advised the patient's father to inform nurses if the patient has a history of fainting after vaccinations and to have the patient rest with legs elevated. The patient was also given a Coke.
Patient's father stated patient always fainted after vaccinations.
