• The type of vaccine must be covered under the Vaccine Act; that info can be found under the vaccine injury table.
• A parent/guardian must file for minors.
• The vaccination must have been given within the United States.
• The vaccine injury or illness must last a minimum of 6 months, causing medical attention and/or hospitalization or even death in order for a federal claim to be filed.
• Deadlines for filing must be met in order to qualify for the vaccine injury compensation program.

A vaccine injury claim is filed with the United States Court of Federal Claims and can be done with help provided by our vaccine injury lawyers. Even if you feel like you may not meet the criteria, every case is unique on its own. It is always suggested to discuss the details of your case with a vaccine injury attorney in New Jersey, and you can do so by contacting our law office today.

What Are Common Vaccine Injuries & Illnesses?

Vaccine injuries are uncommon, but they can result in significant health problems in both children and adults. If a vaccination has injured you or a loved one, you may be eligible for compensation through the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program. Learn about some of the most frequent vaccination side effects.

• Shoulder Injury Related To Vaccine Administration (SIRVA) - Following a vaccine shot into the shoulder or upper arm, soreness and stiffness are common and normal short-term side effects. When a patient gets SIRVA, it's a lot more severe than just a sore arm or minimal shoulder injury. When the vaccine shot is not administered correctly, it often leads to insertion into the deltoid bursa, causing extreme shoulder pain causing limited mobility.
• Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura - This condition commonly happens upon administration of the mumps, measles, or Rubella vaccine in children and adults. Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura is when the blood cannot clot properly after vaccination, leading to internal bleeding, inordinate bleeding, or even bleeding found under the skin.
• Guillain-Barre Syndrome - This syndrome is usually seen after the influenza (flu shot), tetanus vaccine, Hepatitis B, and several more. This disorder causes your body to have a severe immune response that essentially attacks your nerves, causing weakness and tingling, leading to paralysis.
