Symptom narrative

While giving the vaccine half of the vaccine sprayed through the needle and didn't make it into the patient, the remaining half of the vaccine was able to be administered. The needle was defective, I let the patient know about the issue and administered half of another fluzone HD flu shot to the patient.
