Previously administered products included Engerix B with an associated reaction of no adverse event (received 1st dose on an unknown date, no side effects). On an unknown date, the patient received the 2nd dose of Engerix B. On an unknown date, less than a week after receiving Engerix B, the patient experienced rash (Verbatim: Rash). The outcome of the rash was unknown. It was unknown if the reporter considered the rash to be related to Engerix B and Engerix B Pre-Filled Syringe Device.

He/she knew that could be a side effect of hepatitis B but this person that came across, it never had this before and they were wondering if there it was batch related.
