Symptom narrative

Pt experienced a delayed vasovagal response to Afluria (annual flu shot) on 10/30/2025. Pt came to the pharmacy on 10/30/25 with his mother and brother to get their annual flu vaccines. Vaccine was administered sometime between 3:48 and 4pm. Pharmacy staff was notified by front end that a customer was having a reaction to the flu shot between 4-4:30pm. I went to the front of the store with pharmacy tech. The pt started having a reaction after shopping a little bit and checking out at the registers at the store. We found the patient sitting on the floor at the front of the store. He was pale, felt faint, light headed, nauseated/had a queezy feeling in his stomach, sweating. The mom said that he was collapsing by the registers and that she had to hold him up to walk [from the registers to the wall where he was sitting is my understanding]. The patient also reported hearing 'static' and he did NOT lose consciousness at any time. He remained alert and was able to verbalize his symptoms, which were negative for itching and also negative for any swelling in the mouth/throat. We called 911 and the paramedics arrived per mom's request. While waiting for the paramedics, I checked the patient's blood pressure which was 90/70 and temperature 99.6 F. I offered the patient water, he didn't want anything to drink and I also offered him a chair. Before the paramedics arrived the patient said his symptoms were improving and that he was feeling better. When the paramedics arrived, they checked the patient's vitals. His oxygen and blood pressure were normal and the patient was feeling better. The paramedics did not advise transport, mom agreed that she did not want the patient transported to the hospital. Pt was advised to rest and drink plenty of fluids and to call 911 if the symptoms recurred/his condition worsened. I also advised the mom to have the patient sit for 15-30 minutes after receiving any vaccinations in the future. Per mom, the pt had never had any reactions to any vaccinations in the past.
