Symptom narrative

I am a Public Health Nurse (PHN) , and I was giving immunizations in the home with family present. The patient is a 3 year old female, but she was receiving a "catch-up" series of shots. I gave all the other vaccines, and I inadvertently gave Varicella (Varivax), and Measles, Mumps, Rubella and Varicella (MMRV), instead my intent was to give Varicella and MMR. I noticed my error when I got back to my office and was charting in the evening. I immediately reported the incident to my supervisor, [name withheld], DPHN, Clinical Director, Dr. [name withheld] and pharmacy, to see if there was any further actions needed to be taken, immediately. There were no additional actions to take. I reported the incident in VEARS, Merck provider line, and the parent in the am on 3/26/26. No adverse reactions noted with the patient, and only to watch out for routine side effects- fever, erythemic rash, pain, and swelling at the injection site. Parent alerted to these side effects.
