Additional Vaccine-Related Injuries
Vaccines are essential tools that help keep you and your family safe from many diseases. While vaccine-related injuries are rare, they are possible. The following are some vaccine-related injuries that can occur:
- Chronic arthritis. This is an autoimmune disorder that causes pain and swelling in the joints.
- Immunodeficiency. Vaccine injuries can sometimes limit the immune system’s ability to fight illnesses such as infections and cancers.
- Vaccine-strain measles viral disease. Symptoms of this infection include a fever, dry cough and skin rashes.
- Vaccine-strain polio viral infection. This disease can only be caused by the oral polio virus vaccine, which is no longer used in the United States, and it can affect the central nervous system and may cause paralysis.
- Vaccine-strain varicella viral disease. The Varicella vaccination can sometimes cause Varicella (chicken pox), and Zoster (shingles).
- Disseminated varicella vaccine-strain viral disease. This reaction to the chickenpox vaccine can cause widespread rash, encephalitis, hepatitis and pneumonia in the immunocompromised.
Have You Been Injured?
If you’ve been injured by a vaccine, you may be eligible for vaccine injury compensation. The National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) allows you to file a claim within a certain timeframe after injury. For most vaccine injuries, you must file a claim within three years from the day you first had symptoms. In the rare case that a vaccination caused the death of a loved one, you have two years to file a claim.
If you feel ill after a vaccination, you should see a doctor right away to explore treatment options.
