Those who have been harmed by vaccinations may be eligible for compensation through the federal government's National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (NVICP).

Vaccine Injuries & Illnesses 

Although vaccine injuries are unusual, they can cause serious health issues in children and adults. If you or a loved one has been injured as a result of a vaccine, the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program may be able to help. Learn about some of the most common adverse effects of vaccinations.

• Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura - This is a frequent side effect of the mumps, measles, or Rubella vaccines in both children and adults. Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura occurs when the blood fails to clot correctly following immunization, resulting in internal bleeding, excessive bleeding, or even bleeding beneath the skin.
• Shoulder Injury Related To Vaccine Administration (SIRVA) - Soreness and stiffness after a vaccination injection in the shoulder or upper arm is a typical and expected short-term adverse effect. SIRVA is far more serious than a sore arm or a minor shoulder injury for a patient. When a vaccination injection is given incorrectly, it can cause insertion into the deltoid bursa, resulting in excruciating shoulder discomfort and restricted mobility.
• Guillain-Barre Syndrome - This condition is commonly encountered following vaccinations for influenza (flu shot), tetanus, Hepatitis B, and other diseases. This illness triggers a strong immunological reaction in your body, which destroys your nerves, producing weakness and tingling that eventually leads to paralysis.

If you've experienced any of these side effects after having a vaccination, arrange a free consultation with an experienced vaccine lawyer at Justice Guardians now.
