This Week’s Detailed Case Study Information A 4-year-old child from India presented to his pediatrician’s office for a school physical. The child had no past medical history, was in excellent health, and all immunizations were up to date except for Hepatitis A. The physician discussed the issues around vaccination with the patient’s father and obtained consent. The nurse drew up the vaccine and the physician administered it. After administration, the physician went to record the lot number and discovered that a dose of vaccine for Chicken Pox had been given instead of Hepatitis A. Without hesitation, the physician informed the father that the wrong vaccine had mistakenly been given to the boy. He explained the usual indications for Chicken Pox vaccination and emphasized that this vaccine would not bring any harm to the boy and may even protect him from illness in the future.
