Symptom narrative

Patient said he felt "different" immediately after getting the first vaccine (Fluzone HD). Within minutes he became dizzy and felt like he "had drank a beer" and said his throat felt itchy/scratchy. After 15 minutes or so, he started feeling better but still felt a little woozy and still had scratchy throat. Denied any swelling of lips, tongue, or airways. I advised him to go to ER if symptoms worsened and/or he had trouble breathing or swelling of airways. As long as he was continuing to improve I advised him to take benadryl when he got home and to call me if anything changed with his symptoms.
