Vaccine Injury Claims
Will immunizations cause a bad reaction in my child? In rare cases, immunizations can trigger seizures or severe allergic reactions, the risk of these is much lower than that of catching the disease if a child is not immunized. Every year, millions of children are safely vaccinated, and almost all of them experience no significant side effects. Meanwhile, research continually improves the safety of immunizations. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) now advises doctors to use a diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis vaccine that includes only specific parts of the pertussis cell instead of the entire killed cell. This vaccine, called DTaP has been associated with even fewer side effects like high temperatures and seizures. Rotavirus is one of the most common causes of diarrhea in young children. In 1999, a rotavirus vaccine was taken off the market because it was linked to an increased risk for intussusception, a type of bowel obstruction, in young infants. However, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently approved a new, different rotavirus vaccine called RotaTeq, which has been studied in more than 70,000 children, and has not been found to have this increased risk. What if you suffer a side effect from the vaccine?
