Vaccine Reaction Compensation Quiz
Blood conditions can occur in many parts of your circulatory system, including your red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, blood vessels, bone marrow and more. If you have a blood condition, it can affect your overall health.
Although rare, certain vaccines may cause blood conditions such as immune thrombocytopenia purpura (ITP). This condition causes bleeding from the nose or gums, blood in the urine or feces and other symptoms.
Immune Thrombocytopenia Purpura and Vaccines
Immune thrombocytopenia purpura, or ITP, usually happens when the immune system mistakenly attacks blood platelets. When platelets drop well below normal levels, blood clotting is reduced. ITP can lead to excessive bleeding and bruising.
Symptoms of ITP include:
- Bleeding from the nose or gums
- Blood in the urine or feces
- Blotches and bruises
- Red spots called petechiae on the skin
If you have symptoms of this condition after a vaccination, see a doctor right away.
