Abstract

There has been a recent campaign to vaccinate patients in an effort to prevent widespread flu pandemic. Although the complication rate after vaccine is low, there have been reports of Guillain-Barré syndrome and shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA). In this case presentation, we discuss a patient who developed a large lytic lesion in the proximal humerus after a deeply administered flu shot.
