In the United States, vaccinating children against infectious diseases has been one of the most effective public health initiatives ever undertaken. Vaccinations have reduced vaccine-preventable disease by more than 95 percent. But that is not the whole story.
Unfortunately, vaccination programs also carry a human cost. The United States Government acknowledges that "[a] vaccine can have severe side effects, including death or disabling conditions requiring lifetime medical care." 1 These reactions can be "devastating" to affected families. 2 Conditions that may be associated with vaccines include neurological injuries (such as encephalopathy, neuropathy, and transverse myelitis), seizures, and a number of auto-immune disorders (such as Guillan Barre Syndrome, Multiple Sclerosis, and arthritis).
If you believe that you or a loved one has been injured as a result of a vaccination, we may be able to help. We are committed to helping families in obtaining compensation for the devastating effects of vaccine-related injuries under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program.
