Symptom narrative

Patient came to the pharmacy asking for the shingles vaccine. The vaccine was billed with his insurance and it was paid in full. The pharmacist administered the vaccine and told him that he had to come back for a second dose. The patient asked if this vaccine had to be administered like the flu shot,once a year and the pharmacist told him that it was a once in a lifetime vaccine. At that moment the patient told the pharmacist that he was not sure if he already had received a series of shingrix vaccine at another pharmacy. The pharmacist checked immune registry and,indeed,he had received two shingrix doses in 2023 at pharmacy.
