Symptom narrative

Patient was here for her Annual wellness appointment and wanted flu shot. I saw birth year and thought patient was over age 65. I ordered vaccine, had someone double check but realized when documenting after I gave it that she is only 60 years old and should have received regular fluzone not high dose fluzone. Before giving, I even said to the patient "so, I have your high dose flu as you are over 65" and she must have not heard me well because she said "yes". I immediately told the physician and my nurse supervisor the error. It was my mistake. I mistook the 1965 for age 65. The patient feels fine and provider made her aware.
