Symptom narrative

A 3-month-old patient received an influenza vaccine, which is not indicated for children under 6 months of age. The error was identified after administration when the parents contacted the office to report that their infant had received the flu shot and to ask if this was appropriate. The patient has remained well since vaccination, with no reported adverse symptoms such as fever, irritability, feeding difficulty, or local reaction at the injection site. No medical intervention was required. Parents were reassured that receiving the vaccine at this age is not known to be harmful but is not effective and is not recommended for children under 6 months of age.
