Symptom narrative

On December 31, 2025 at 2:20PM, child (2 years old and 11 months) arrived with both parents and four other sibling for COVID, Influenza, or both vaccines. First RN ("temporary" nurse started 12/29/2025) received all family vaccines from "temporary" pharmacist. Regular staff were out for the office due to the holidays. Pharmacist gave vaccine to first RN. First RN did not verify vaccine against the package box and was only given vials. All injections were given to all other 6 family members. Then, second RN prepared both COVID and Influenza vaccines for child by adding needle to single dose vaccines. Both vaccines were administered at the same time. COVID given in right thigh and Influenza in left thigh. Nurses do not recall which side of the injections they administered due to the large family numbers. Second RN entered the information on the vaccine administration form and both RNs signed the bottom of the form. New nurse protocol is to initial on the Vaccination Administration Form which injections were given by RN. On January 2, 2026, upon entering the data in Immunization Information System, second RN noticed Vaccine Administration error. COVID Comirnaty is approved for ages 5-11 years only. Second RN telephoned the State vaccine for Children program Immunization Coordinators to report the error. Three immunization coordinators were called and only voicemail messages were left.
