Vaccine Injury Attorney for Diphtheria Victims

Injuries Resulting from DTP, DTaP, or Td

Diphtheria is an infectious disease of the upper respiratory tract that has been largely eliminated in developed nations through widespread vaccinations. Diphtheria is spread from person to person through external secretions that result from coughing or sneezing, and it can cause breathing problems, paralysis, heart failure, and even death.

Vaccination against diphtheria has been routinely given to U.S. children since the 1940s. The DTP (diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis) vaccine that was once the medical standard has now been replaced by DTaP (diphtheria, tetanus, and acellular pertussis). DTaP is generally regarded to be just as effective as DTP but has fewer side effects and safety risks. DTaP is a variant of the vaccination that is suitable for adolescents or adults. Since a vaccine’s effectiveness decreases over time, Td (tetanus and diphtheria) boosters are recommended every ten years throughout adulthood.

Our attorneys can provide affordable legal advocacy to individuals who have suffered vaccine injuries. Let us go to court for you so that you can focus on recovering.

Common side effects of a diphtheria vaccination include:

  • Shoulder injury
  • Pain and Swelling
  • Rash
