Symptom narrative

Box of Pentacel vaccine retrieved from VFC supply refridge. When opened it was noted that there were 2 vials of the blue Dtap/IPV component in the box but no corresponding doses of the Green Hib component. There should be equal numbers of the 2 components as they are combined to constitute a dose. The nurse used the Hib component only and used sterile water as a dilutent. The pt only received the Hib component, and the wrong dilutent.
