Symptom narrative

PATIENT CALLED IN SAYING SHE HAD AN ADVERSE REACTION. I WAS UNABLE TO GET ALL THE INFORMATION UNTIL TODAY. ON 11/19 HER LEFT ARM STARTED TURNING RED AND IRRITATED AT THE INJECTION SITE. SHE WENT TO THE URGENT CARE ON 11/20 AND WAS DIAGNOSED WITH CELLULITIS OF THE LEFT ARM WHICH WAS THE RSV VACCINATION. SHE WAS PLACE ON CEPHALEXIN AND IS CURRENTLY DOING WELL SHE STATED SHE HAS A PNEUMONIA SHOT ABOUT THREE MONTHS AGO AT HER DOCTORS OFFICE AND HAD THE SAME REACTION. I ADVISED SHE MIGHT BE ALLERGIC TO A PRESERVATIVE AND HER REGULAR DOCTOR IS GOING TO DO FURTHER RESEARCH.
