moderna clinic - Patient sat for a bit after vaccine - fainted when got up to leave. I heard the commotion from the pharmacy while i was giving a vaccine. Patient had signed up online for the vaccine with the date of birth 6-20-2001 (showing 19 years of age). Patient came to quickly after fainting - felt dizzy, nauseated, warm and blurred vision (seeing spots). Patient did not hit her head during fall. EMS came to check her out. Took blood pressure and pulse - within normal limits for patients age. Being that she's 14 and received Moderna instead of Pfizer that could have been the reason. Patient faulted age during online sign up stating she was 19. I checked with the mom the day after the incident - patient feels fine - no flu like symptoms or feeling dizzy, nauseated or blurred vision.

Female 15-year old client received her first Pfizer shot (Lot# EW0185) at 15:02. She was accompanied by her mother and 12-year-old sister, who was also vaccinated at the same station with her. Client received her shot first and waited while her sister received her shot. After both girls were vaccinated, they were walking with their mother down the hallway to the observation room. RN1 stated that from the opposite end of the hallway she saw client?s knees buckle. RN1 walked toward client to ask if she was OK. Client straightened herself out, slumped onto her mother?s shoulder, and rolled onto her mother, who guided client to the floor. At 15:09 Lead RN heard client fall to the floor, went out to the client, and radioed for EMT assistance. Client was conscious and turned her face up.
