We have administered several thousand GSK quadrivalent doses. A few mild localized reactions of redness, slight swelling, with heat were reported. We have had no
reports of itching at the site.

Hello
We have administered approximately 1000 vaccines thus far. We have not seen anything unusual thus far. We use both GSK and Sanofi.

Subject: [MCOH-EH] Localized Reactions to Flu Vaccine
I’m wondering if others are seeing an increase in localized reactions on employees from this year’s flu vaccine. We are seeing an increase especially in itching and swelling at the injection site.
Thanks.
