Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine Injuries

Experiencing Shoulder Pain?

Did you know that any type of vaccination could cause intense shoulder pain? If you were recently vaccinated and you are now experiencing upper arm pain or long-term swelling at the site of the injection, you may be entitled to monetary compensation.

The same goes for individuals whose vaccinations resulted in lumps or nodules at the site of injection, injuries to the nerve at the site of injection, i.e. rotator cuff injury, frozen shoulder, or brachial neuritis. Complications from vaccination that last upwards of six (6) months and / or result in the need for surgical procedure are cause for legal action.

Is It Normal To Get Sick After a Pneumonia Shot?

Some common reactions from the PCV13 and PPSV23 vaccine include redness and pain on the injection site. You may also experience swelling at the injection site. Some people will experience a limited range of motion in the injected arm. In other instances, you can also suffer from headaches, chills, tiredness, and lower appetite. It may feel like the flu for some patients. However, more severe side effects should be treated by a medical professional. Adverse side effects may be a sign of a more severe problem. If you have an adverse side effect, you should speak to Jeffrey S. Pop & Associates to discuss your legal options.

Why is PCV13 No Longer Recommended?

The vaccine is still available for specific situations and must be discussed as shared clinical decision-making. In 2019, ACIP voted not to recommend the vaccine for adults 65 and older. However, if the person has an immunocompromising condition or cochlear implant, they are encouraged to get this vaccine. This decision is based on data collected over the years indicating mental changes in the PCV13 vaccine preventing the disease in adults over 65.

Is the PCV13 Vaccine Necessary for Babies?

The vaccine is recommended for children and babies. Annually, thousands of cases of ear infections and pneumonia are reported. This is with vaccines. It is estimated the number would be much higher without the vaccines. Children under 2 have a higher chance of contracting the infection and should, therefore, consider the vaccine. Parents need to monitor their children and look for adverse reactions. If your child suffers a severe reaction, you should seek medical help and speak to a national vaccine reaction attorney.

Navigating Pneumococcal Vaccine Complications: Symptoms, Duration, and Treatment

If you suffer an adverse reaction, you should seek medical attention immediately. While rare, a fever over 102.2 degrees is cause for concern after a vaccine. Adults can try at-home care by taking over-the-counter pain medications like Tylenol, Motrin, Advil, and Aleve. Follow the instructions on the medical packaging. You can also try over-the-counter medicines if your children suffer side effects. If the vaccine area is sore, use an ice pack for 20 minutes. Ensure you place a thin cloth between the area and the ice pack. Call 911 if you have:

• Severe belly pain, vomiting, or diarrhea
• Trouble breathing
• A seizure
• Hives
• Swelling in your throat, lips, tongue, or mouth

Call your doctor if you have itching, swelling, hives, mild nausea or belly pain, and high fevers. These are signs of a severe reaction. You should also speak to the national vaccine reaction attorney Jeffrey S. Pop & Associates.
