Vaccines

vaccines For most of us, the giving of vaccines to children has been an acceptable practice for many years. Many of us received vaccines as children and suffered no harmful effects. Unfortunately, vaccines, for all the lives they have saved, are still drugs, capable of causing serious illness or injury and even death.

The decision not to immunize your child involves potentially putting your child at risk for contracting serious, possibly deadly, diseases. For the most part, vaccinating your child is clearly a better alternative to contracting the disease the vaccine is designed to prevent.

Thankfully, most people experience no reaction to vaccinations. But what happens when your child is unfortunately injured by a vaccine? Rarely, serious side effects do occur, such as:

  • Allergic reactions
  • Stroke
  • Heart attack
  • Encephalopathy
  • Brain damage
  • Seizure
  • Coma

Vaccines known to cause side effects include:

  • Tetanus Toxoid
  • Diphtheria-Tetanus-Pertussis
  • Measles-Mumps-Rubella
  • Rubella
  • Measles
  • Polio
  • Hepatitis B
  • Hepatitis A
  • Hemophilus influenzae type b
  • Varicella (Chicken Pox)
  • Rotavirus
  • Pneumonia
  • Trivalent ("Adult Flu")

For individuals suffering harmful side effects, the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program allows claims to be made for certain vaccine side effects.

The experienced South Jersey vaccines' attorneys at Anapol Schwartz Weiss Cohan Feldman & Smalley wholeheartedly support the current vaccination program and recommend that all scheduled vaccines be administered for the well-being of your children.

However, if your child suffers a vaccine-related reaction, seek immediate medical attention. Once the crisis is over, contact us to find out what steps to take next. Your child may have rights to compensation through the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP).
