After being vaccinated, he was crying a lot for almost 2 hrs. He developed fever, started vomiting, and his left leg was swollen like a potato, from thigh down the leg. He was taken to the ED and were informed that he had an "allergic reaction" more than expected. REVIEW-> He was seen at ED on 8/13. Found to have left more than right thigh swelling, status post getting his 2-month vaccine today. No change in breathing and no body rash. On PE, vitals were normal. Mild localized swelling around the vaccination site on both thighs. Assessment was "No concern for allergic reaction, as expected post vaccine reaction," and discharged. In addition, there is a discrepancy in the chart in terms of where the vaccines were administered. On chart review- received PCV and Td/HIB/IPV L thigh, R thigh HBV. However, parents recall and provide photos for me to review which demonstrate that he received 2 vaccines on his right thigh and 1 vaccine on his left. Discrepancy in chart vs parent report regarding which vaccines were received in which thigh, however given that this was likely a site reaction and not an allergic reaction, largely reassured parents and will follow up regarding discrepancy of documentation of 2mo vaccines.
