Illinois Vaccine Injury Claim Attorneys
Vaccination Injury Lawyers Serving Chicago and Nationwide
While there are many different types of vaccines, only certain vaccines are included in the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program. This means to be able to file a claim for compensation in the Program, the vaccine you, or a loved one received, has to be included, or "covered" in the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program. While most vaccines are routine, rarely, children and adults can experience serious vaccine injuries. These adverse events can lead to health problems that can be long-lasting and debilitating.
The vaccines that are included in the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program include:
- Flu shot
- HPV/Gardasil vaccine
- Hepatitis A vaccine
- Hepatitis B vaccine
- Hib vaccine
- Diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis (DTaP) vaccine
- Measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine
- Rotavirus vaccine
- Polio vaccine
- Pneumococcal Conjugate (Prevnar)
- Meningococcal vaccine
- Varicella vaccine
While vaccines have made many diseases uncommon in our country, like with any other medical intervention, for some people vaccines can trigger life-altering side effects. Seizures, anaphylaxis, SIRVA, neurological disorders and autoimmune conditions have all been associated with the vaccines listed above.
If you have been injured by a vaccine, you may be able to recover compensation from the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP), a no-fault program designed to pay medical bills, lost wages and other costs of vaccine injury.
