Patient presented to pharmacy with his wife for a flu and rsv vaccine. Patient reported a history of dizziness/fainting after vaccines in the past, which is why he came with his wife. After vaccination, patient was advised to remain in the waiting area to monitor for adverse reaction. After about 5 minutes, the patient reported starting to feel hot and dizzy. I stayed with him as his wife gave him water to drink and splash on his face. Patient declined an ice pack. After a few minutes, the patient became pale and began to lose consciousness. I called to pharmacy technicians to notify management as his wife and I quickly and carefully moved him to the floor on his back with feet elevated on a chair and head cushioned by his jacket. Patient became unresponsive to firm rubs on the sternum and loudly asking if he could hear me. He was unresponsive for about 30 seconds before regaining consciousness. Patient did not have loss of memory, was aware of his surroundings, and declined an ambulance. Patient remained supine for about 5 minutes before beginning to feel nauseous, at which point we turned him to his side in case he needed to vomit. He remained on the floor on his side for another 10 minutes before assisting him up into a chair, where he sat for an additional 5 minutes before leaving the pharmacy with his wife. His blood pressure obtained before leaving measured 158/96 mmHg.
