Incomplete course of vaccination

Symptom narrative

Inappropriate schedule of vaccine administered; This non-serious case was reported by a consumer via call center representative and described the occurrence of incomplete course of vaccination in a 72-year-old female patient who did not receive Herpes zoster (Shingrix) for prophylaxis. The patient's past medical history included chickenpox (patient had chickenpox as a child). Previously administered products included Shingrix (received first dose years ago in her left arm). On an unknown date, the patient did not receive the 2nd dose of Shingrix. The patient had incomplete course of vaccination (Verbatim: Inappropriate schedule of vaccine administered). The outcome of the incomplete course of vaccination was not applicable. Additional Information: GSK Receipt Date: 23-SEP-2025 The 72-year-old, female patient reported that she received the first dose of Shingrix (she thinks it was Shingrix) years ago (no specific date provided), and she never went back to get the second dose. The patient did not have any information to provide about the first dose like lot, expiry, route and date of administration. The patient stated she probably received the vaccine in her left arm because she was right-handed. The patient stated that her physician and her pharmacist gave her two different answers about receiving the second dose of Shingrix, so now she was confused. The patient stated she had chickenpox as a child and had reported all that was provided about this adverse event. Till the time of reporting, the patients did not receive the second dose of Shingrix, which led to incomplete course of vaccination. The batch number was not provided and a request for this information has been made.
