Symptom narrative

Patient received two vaccines on 9/3/25 afternoon, an influenza and pneumococcal vaccine in the deltoids. He reported when receiving the vaccine in the left arm (according to the paperwork it was the Fluad influenza vaccine) he has some bleeding from the vaccine and the vaccine administer cleaned up the blood and place a bandage on the vaccine. A few hours later he noticed redness at the site and extreme arm pain. Patient did mention he experienced fever, tiredness, muscle aches, join pain after his vaccines at night. His left arm has more pain and the pain still exists the next day until now. However, he noticed more bruising spreading from the site down towards his elbow and was black and blue starting the next day. Currently, we can see he still has some brusing around the arm towards the elbow and he noticed it got a little better. However, patient is concerned about the his arm being weak and painful when he tries to raise his arm and the left arm could not be raised pass the shoulder. I informed patient to monitor the site of bruising and to reach out to his doctor to have it checked out. In the mean time, if needed, I recommend if he can take an anti-inflammatory such as ibuprofen to help with the pain.
