| FLU3 | INFLUENZA (SEASONAL) (FLUAD) | SEQIRUS, INC. | 1 | IMM114 | IM / LA |
I am a 34-year-old female who was administered Fluad trivalent adjuvanted (65+ formulation) in error. This vaccine is intended only for adults =65 and contains approximately 4 times the antigen dose of the standard influenza vaccine. Within 15 minutes of administration, before I had been notified of the dosing error, I experienced sudden and extreme tearfulness for no apparent reason and had to leave the store due to uncontrollable crying. This reaction continued for two days, during which I experienced an intense mental health crisis with overwhelming distress and suicidal thoughts. I remained bedridden for several days due to severe headache, extreme body aches, and profound fatigue. I also experienced significant visual disturbances, including blurred vision and floaters, and was unable to focus my eyes for more than one hour at a time. These symptoms prevented me from completing daily activities and academic assignments. The adverse effects lasted approximately one week.

On 9/16/2025, I presented to the Emergency Department at the hospital due to severe mental health crisis with nonstop crying and concern for psychosis. I have no previous history of mental illness or suicidal ideation, and the new onset of these symptoms prompted the visit. A complete blood panel was performed (CBC, CMP, thyroid panel, and other routine labs per ED protocol). Results were reported as within normal limits.
