Varicella (Chicken Pox) Get Nationally Acclaimed Legal Representation

Nationwide Varicella (Chickenpox) Vaccine Injury Attorney

Put Years of Experience in Your Corner

Varicella (more frequently known as chickenpox) is one of the most common and contagious childhood diseases. It can be indirectly transmitted through the air or directly transmitted through contact with fluid from an infected blister. Though chickenpox causes significant discomfort—primarily through the eruption of itchy blisters—it rarely causes significant problems to healthy children. Nevertheless, about 5 in every 1,000 cases of varicella will cause hospitalization. In extremely rare cases, chickenpox can be fatal.

Because varicella is so contagious, vaccination against chickenpox is required of all children as a prerequisite to entering school. Though chickenpox generally occurs only once, the varicella virus remains in the body into adulthood and possibly triggers the development of other illnesses who have had a history of chickenpox. This disease can be especially severe in adults and in anyone with a compromised immune system.

The Dangers of Vaccination

Being vaccinated is much safer than becoming infected. Most people who receive the vaccination experience no problems, but there are possible side effects. Mild side effects include fever, mild rash, and soreness, redness, or swelling at the injection site. Serious side effects of the chickenpox vaccine are very rare. They are more likely to occur after the first dose than the second.

Possible severe reactions include:

  • Shoulder Injury
  • Seizure (jerking and staring spell)
  • Severe brain reactions
  • Low blood count
  • Anaphylactic reaction
  • Encephalitis
  • Neuropathy
  • Death
  • ITP (Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura)

Pain at an injection site? You may have a shoulder injury.

It is normal to experience swelling or pain at the site of injection. Other effects of injection include sharp shoulder pain, rotator cuff injury, lumps, nodules, and tenderness at the site of the injection. However, it is not normal to experience these symptoms more than six (6) months after the injection was administered. If you still experiencing these symptoms, you may be entitled to compensation for your shoulder injury. Our firm can launch an investigation into your vaccine case and help you file a claim that best suits your needs.

  • What is a Vaccine Injury Lawsuit?

    A vaccine injury lawsuit is a legal claim filed by an individual who believes they have been injured by a vaccine. Vaccine injury victims have the right to seek compensation for their injuries through a lawsuit. These lawsuits are typically filed against the vaccine manufacturer and, in some cases, against other parties involved in the vaccine administration.

    To file a vaccine injury claim, you should consult with a vaccine injury attorney to assess the claim and determine if there is sufficient evidence to support a lawsuit. The National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program is a no-fault federal program that compensates individuals who have been injured due to vaccines.

    Note that vaccine injury lawsuits can be challenging to prove. In a no-fault claim system, the legal standard for proving a vaccine injury is generally higher than in other personal injury cases. You must demonstrate that the vaccine caused an injury, and this often requires expert medical testimony. However, an attorney can guide you through the legal process.

  • What Can I Get From a Vaccine Claim?

    Serious vaccine injury can result in disability or even wrongful death. This kind of tragedy can utterly devastate the family involved.

    While nothing can make up for this kind of loss, filing for compensation either with the VICP or in court can help families recover:

    • Medical costs covering complications
    • Projected future medical costs
    • Loss of consortium
    • Legal fees
  • Can Meningococcal Vaccines Cause Fever or Illness?

    Yes, a small percentage of patients experience side effects including:

    • Fatigue
    • Fever
    • Nausea
    • Or diarrhea after a vaccine

    The MenB vaccine is more likely to cause side effects than MenACWY, though either could generate a reaction. These symptoms normally disappear 3-5 days after the vaccine was administered. If symptoms persist outside of this timeframe, patients may need to seek follow-up care to test for more serious complications.

  • How Common Are Vaccine Injuries?

    According to extensive research and surveillance systems, vaccine injuries are relatively rare. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) closely monitors vaccine safety through the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) and the Vaccine Safety Datalink (VSD), among other systems. These systems enable continuous monitoring of adverse events following immunization, allowing for the detection of any potential safety concerns.

    According to the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP), which compensates individuals injured by vaccines, less than 1% of vaccine doses result in adverse reactions. These reactions range from mild, such as soreness at the injection site, to more severe but still rare, such as an allergic reaction.

    Various studies have shown that adverse events following vaccination are extremely low. For example, a Vaccine Safety Datalink study reports that severe allergic reactions (known as anaphylaxis) occur at a rate of about 1.31 per million doses administered for vaccines recommended for children and adults.

    Other serious adverse events, such as encephalitis and Guillain-Barre Syndrome, are even rarer, with rates ranging from less than one per million to one per several million doses administered.

  • Can Meningococcal Vaccines Cause Meningitis?
    No. A meningococcal vaccine is not “live”—it consists of proteins re-combined to mimic the bacteria that can cause meningitis. Even among populations with weak immune systems, the vaccine should not cause infection. However, it is advised that patients who do ill not receive the vaccine.
  • How Can I Get Help After a Vaccine Injury?
    Families can file with the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) if the administering institution is covered; otherwise, they may file a civil lawsuit. A lawyer can help you gather the necessary documentation and fill out the VICP petition or begin the legal process.
