Federal Vaccine Injury Claims for Severe Allergic Reactions

Anaphylaxis is a severe, potentially life-threatening allergic reaction that can occur rapidly, often within minutes of exposure to an allergen. The reaction can affect multiple body systems and may involve breathing problems, circulation changes, skin symptoms, or loss of consciousness. Swift medical intervention is crucial when symptoms suggest anaphylaxis. Common triggers include foods, insect stings, medications, and vaccines.

Anaphylaxis after vaccination is a rare but serious reaction that requires immediate medical treatment. For a potential vaccine injury claim, important details include the vaccine received, the time between vaccination and symptom onset, emergency treatment, hospitalization, diagnosis, and any continuing effects.

If you or someone you love experienced anaphylaxis after vaccination, our firm, Jeffrey S. Pop & Associates, can review the circumstances of a possible vaccine injury claim. We focus on vaccine injury litigation and represent clients nationwide in the federal vaccine compensation process.

A reaction after vaccination doesn’t by itself establish legal causation or eligibility for compensation. We can evaluate whether the medical evidence and timing may support a petition through the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program.

What Are the Symptoms of Anaphylaxis?

Symptoms can vary in severity and often develop rapidly after exposure to an allergen. Those affecting breathing, blood pressure, or consciousness require emergency medical attention.

Common symptoms include:

Respiratory problems: Difficulty breathing, shortness of breath, wheezing, nasal congestion, or throat tightness
Skin reactions: Hives, itching, rashes, and skin flushing
Gastrointestinal issues: Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain
Cardiovascular problems: A rapid or weak pulse, low blood pressure, and fainting or collapse
Neurological symptoms: Dizziness, confusion, and loss of consciousness
Swelling: Swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat that can obstruct the airway and make breathing difficult

Prompt treatment with epinephrine is commonly used for anaphylaxis and can be followed by medical observation and additional care based on the patient’s condition. Anaphylactic shock is a severe form of anaphylaxis involving dangerously low blood pressure or circulatory collapse.

Epinephrine is a medication used to treat severe allergic reactions. It can constrict blood vessels, support blood pressure, relax airway muscles, and reduce swelling and hives. The medication is often delivered via an auto-injector, such as an EpiPen, while emergency clinicians assess the patient and provide any further treatment needed.

How Federal Vaccine Coverage Affects Anaphylaxis Claims

Anaphylactic shock can occur when anaphylaxis progresses rapidly and affects circulation. Although anaphylactic reactions following vaccination are uncommon, medical association alone doesn’t establish eligibility for compensation.

Eligibility depends on whether the vaccine, injury, and timing meet federal requirements. We examine those requirements and the medical evidence for the individual reaction.

Treatments for Anaphylactic Shock

Emergency treatment for anaphylactic shock commonly involves epinephrine. Depending on the patient’s condition, medical care can also include oxygen, intravenous fluids, medications, respiratory support, and monitoring in an emergency department or hospital.

Medical records can help document the severity and timing of the reaction. Relevant records may include ambulance and emergency department records, epinephrine administration, hospital monitoring, medication records, discharge instructions, and follow-up care.

Injury Claims Through the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program

If you or a loved one experienced anaphylaxis after a covered vaccine, you may be eligible to pursue compensation through the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program. For California residents, qualifying claims proceed under this federal program rather than California state injury law. Available compensation may include medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering when program requirements are met.

The Vaccine Injury Table and its Qualification and Aids to Interpretation set out covered injuries, vaccines, and timing requirements. HRSA uses severe allergic reaction or anaphylaxis within four hours after a tetanus vaccine as an example of a table injury when the applicable requirements are satisfied. A qualifying table injury may receive a rebuttable presumption that the vaccine caused the injury.

When the applicable Vaccine Injury Table requirements aren’t met, a petitioner may still pursue an off-Table claim. These claims require proof of actual medical causation through appropriate medical and scientific evidence.

We review vaccination records, symptom chronology, emergency and follow-up medical records, diagnostic evidence, physician opinions, and documentation of medical expenses or other compensable losses. Our attorneys are licensed to practice in the United States Court of Federal Claims and can evaluate whether a claim may qualify under the Vaccine Injury Table or require an off-Table causation analysis.

How a VICP Anaphylaxis Claim Moves Forward

The federal process for vaccine injury claims centers on medical records, legal eligibility, and proceedings in the United States Court of Federal Claims. We explain each stage so clients can make informed decisions about their cases.

Here’s a brief overview of what to expect:

Initial Consultation: We offer a free consultation to discuss your situation, collect relevant information, and evaluate the details of your case.
Investigating Your Claim: Our legal team reviews vaccination records, medical records, and other documentation that may support a Vaccine Injury Table or off-Table theory.
Filing Your Petition: We prepare and file a petition in the United States Court of Federal Claims and complete the required legal paperwork.
Medical Review and Government Response: The Department of Justice represents the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services in the federal process. We address government positions using the medical and legal evidence in the case.
Resolution or Adjudication: A case may be resolved through settlement or decided through proceedings before the Office of Special Masters. A settlement doesn’t necessarily mean the government admitted that a vaccine caused the injury.

The National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program is administered by HRSA, while the United States Court of Federal Claims makes decisions regarding compensation.

How Does the Vaccine Injury Compensation and Settlement Process Work?

The Vaccine Injury Compensation Program is designed to compensate individuals who experience a vaccine caused injury or illness.
A Petition must be filed within three years after the onset of the symptoms attributed to the vaccination or two years within a death caused by a vaccination.
Once a Petition (claim) is filed, it undergoes evaluation by the Secretary of Health and Human Services (Respondent) and their attorneys from the Vaccine Division. The Court may require expert reports after which the case may be set for trial or settled.
If this case is won or settled, then an injured Petitioner may be entitled to pain and suffering, reimbursement of medical expenses, past and future lost wages, a life care plan funded annuity to cover future medical expenses such as attendant care and home modifications, and in rare cases a wrongful death benefit.
What is a Vaccine Injury Lawsuit?

There are two types of lawsuits possible for a vaccine injury.
1. The most common is a Petition (complaint) filed before the United States Court of Federal Claims (”USCFC”) in Washington D.C. These cases are always defended by the Department of Justice (DOJ) attorneys in the Vaccine Division. The DOJ employs approximately 35 attorneys. The Vaccine Division of the USCFC has 8 full-time Special Masters (Judges) who hear these cases. To file a federal case under the Vaccine Injury Program, it is wise to retain an experienced vaccine law firm to assist you as many cases need to be supported by expert medical testimony in order to succeed. Additionally, experienced attorneys know the potential value of a case when weighing the risk and likely compensation during settlement negotiations.
2. The second type of vaccine lawsuit is under State Law for products liability, or personal injury. It involves paying the cost for experts and depositions and varying legal standards. It may be more difficult to prove with respect to those vaccines not covered by the Vaccine Injury Compensation Act. For now, the traditional court system may be the only legal recourse available for non-covered vaccines. The exception to this is for Covid-19 cases. Sadly, Covid-19 cases are covered by the very restrictive Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program (CICP) which is nonjudicial. Our law firm does not represent individuals in any administrative nonjudicial program.
How Common Are Vaccine Injuries?

Vaccine injuries are rare when considering the number of vaccinations given nationwide. According to the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (“VICP”) statistics, less than 1% of vaccine doses result in adverse reactions. Many of these are not compensated since the adverse reaction lasts less than six months. Notwithstanding, many vaccine injuries are legitimate and must be fairly compensated.
What Vaccines Are Covered by the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program?

Diphtheria, Tetanus, Flu (Influenza), Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, Human Papillomavirus (HPV), Measles, Mumps, Rubella (MMR), Meningococcal, Pneumococcal, Polio, Rotavirus, and Varicella (Chickenpox).
For more information on vaccines included under the VICP, visit our page on Vaccines covered by the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP).
Do I have a Case for Damages?

Our law firm will advise you whether you have a case. It depends upon the type of vaccination you received, the timing of the adverse reaction, your current diagnosis, and whether you have achieved recovery. In complicated cases, an expert medical opinion will be necessary to determine the viability of a case.
How to File a Vaccine Claim?

An individual can file a claim without legal representation. The government utilizes Department of Justice (DOJ) attorneys who defend each case. Therefore, it is wise to retain an experienced and reliable vaccine injury attorney to assist you through the process and who can make sure the rules and guidelines of the court be followed that the Special Masters (Judges) require.
