Symptom narrative

A patient had an appointment for both a flu and a COVID-19 vaccine. The patient mentioned that she gets nervous with needles. The flu vaccine was administered first, and the patient was fine. Immediately after the COVID-19 vaccine was administered, the patient fainted. The pharmacist and a technician held the patient and helped her lie down on the floor. The patient woke up right away. The pharmacist asked, "Do you remember I gave you both the flu and COVID-19 vaccines?" The patient responded, "Yes, I do." The pharmacist then asked, "Do you remember fainting right after the COVID-19 vaccine?" The patient again replied, "Yes, I do." The pharmacist offered, "Do you want some water?" The patient said, "Yes, please. I have candies in my bag." The pharmacist checked the patient's bag and pulled out the candies. The technician brought a bottle of water. The patient was able to communicate clearly, so the pharmacist and technician helped her sit on a chair. The pharmacist asked the patient to wait in the vaccination room for at least 20-30 minutes until a new vaccination patient arrived. The pharmacist performed a final check on the patient, and she was fully recovered before leaving the pharmacy.
