Thurs 10/9 - Called and spoke with the affected caregiver over the phone and interviewed EH team. EH caregiver began administering injection by inserting in caregiver arm, but the syringe plunger completely stuck and immobile, so she removed the needle and discarded. When she gave the 2nd injection, she inserted the needle slightly higher, to avoid using the same injection site. Affected caregiver began having symptoms shortly thereafter and a coworker felt the injection site looked high, therefore she reached out to the EH email. Guidance provided on 9/20 to fill out form, but the affected caregiver wanted to monitor it for a bit. She also shared that she had a PCP appointment scheduled prior to this incident, and she did mention her symptoms to the PCP, who prescribed a steroid. Affected caregiver was advised to continue informing EH about her symptom resolution - at the time of the phone call, she still had soreness when raising her arm above shoulder height (ex/ to wash her hair). She was also curious whether she should receive another flu vaccine (whether the injection would be less effective if the injury was due to the injection being given outside of the deltoid), but at this time EH did not recommend repeating her vaccine.
