Symptom narrative

Patient received Prevnar 20, Shingrix, and Flublok on 9/15/25. He presented to the pharmacy on 10/24/25 wanting to know if any of the vaccines he received could have caused pain on the right side of the chest and a feeling of fluid in the chest. Patient claimed the pain began approximately 2 weeks after he received the vaccine. He stated he was not initially concerned, but when the pain had not subsided by the evening, he worried and decided to call 911. EMS responded and evaluated him outside his residence. EMS advised patient that his vitals were all normal and there was nothing apparently wrong. Patient stated the pain subsided, but was curious if the experience could have been the result of any of the vaccines he received. Pharmacy advised him that it was not a common side effect of any of the vaccines he received and the time onset (2 weeks after administration) cast some suspicion on the likelihood of the vaccines being the cause. Pharmacy advised patient the event would be reported internally and to VAERS. He appreciated the time and consideration.
