Nationwide Lawyers for Vaccine-Related Rotator Cuff Tears

Shoulder Injuries Related to Vaccination Administration (SIRVA)

Although most vaccines are recommended with the promise to protect us against disease, side effects can occur from vaccinations. While a hard pinch and even a few hours of pain near the injection site may seem ordinary, some side effects are abnormal. If you or your child have recently received a shot or vaccination resulting in unusually painful arm or shoulder symptoms, you may have a “shoulder injury related to vaccination administration” (SIRVA).

At Jeffrey S. Pop & Associates, our firm focuses its entire practice on vaccine injury claims and lawsuits. With decades of experience, extensive knowledge from handling thousands of cases, and a drive to seek justice for all our clients, we have become a go-to choice for the vaccine-injured and their families across the United States. 

Contact our vaccine-related rotator cuff tear attorneys at Jeffrey S. Pop & Associates today to request your confidential and free consultation. Email us online or call (888) 891-2816.

Understanding the Symptoms of SIRVA

Rotator cuff tears are one of the most common types of shoulder injuries. They occur when one of the tendons of the rotator cuff muscles experiences damage. This injury can occur due to overuse, as well as from a vaccination.

Symptoms of this type of injury may include: 

  • Shoulder and arm pain
  • Pain when sleeping on your shoulder
  • Pain when reaching over your head
  • Pain when reaching behind your back
  • Tenderness in the shoulder
  • Weakness in the shoulder
  • Cracking or snapping noises

The primary consequences of a rotator cuff tear include persistent shoulder pain, weakness, and a significantly reduced range of motion. Everyday tasks, such as lifting objects, dressing, or even combing one's hair, can become challenging. Left untreated, this injury can lead to chronic pain and long-term disability, impacting both personal and professional life.

Treatment for a Vaccine-Related Rotator Cuff Tear 

Treatment for a vaccine-related rotator cuff tear typically begins with conservative methods such as physical therapy, anti-inflammatory medications, and corticosteroid injections to manage pain and swelling. If these approaches do not lead to improvement, surgical intervention may be necessary to repair the torn tendons. Post-surgery, patients usually require extensive rehabilitation to regain full shoulder function.

Potential Compensation for Vaccine-Related Injuries

Victims of vaccine-related rotator cuff tears may be eligible for compensation through the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP). Compensation can cover medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and legal fees. The goal is to ensure that victims are not financially burdened by an injury resulting from a vaccination.

Vaccine-Related Adhesive Capsulitis

Are you suffering from adhesive capsulitis or a frozen shoulder after a vaccination? Adhesive capsulitis or a frozen shoulder may develop after vaccination, causing pain and the inability to use the shoulder properly. After some time, the muscles or joints may become restricted, causing the shoulder to freeze. Adhesive capsulitis is commonly very painful.

If you notice pain in your shoulder within 48 hours after vaccination and it continues, adhesive capsulitis may develop. You should report this to a healthcare professional as soon as possible. At Jeffrey S. Pop & Associates, we can explain the importance of timing during our consultation.

This injury can be related to the poorly administrated vaccine. Adhesive capsulitis, similar to other shoulder injuries caused by poor vaccine administration, is covered under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program. The Vaccine Act's maximum damages to cover pain and suffering are limited to $250,000. We can help you navigate the complexities of filing a claim seeking the compensation you deserve.

FAQ

Common Answers To Your Questions

  • 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.

  • 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).

  • 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.
  • 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.

  • What Are the Different Types of Meningococcal Vaccines and When Are They Typically Given?

    There are two types of meningococcal vaccines, MenACWY and MenB:

    • MenACWY should be given to teens and pre-teens; a booster dose should be given 4-5 years after the initial vaccine.
    • MenB vaccines may be given to older teens between 16 and 18. The vaccine is typically administered in 2 doses.

    For children younger than 10 and adults, MenACWY is only recommended for patients with certain risk factors. Likewise, MenB may be administered to children over 10 and adults who are at higher risk for certain types of meningitis.

  • How Does the Vaccine Injury Compensation and Settlement Process Work?

    The National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program is mandated to compensate individuals who experience vaccine-related injuries. To initiate the process, you must file a claim within three years after the onset of symptoms attributed to the vaccine.

    Eligibility typically requires symptoms lasting at least six months after vaccination or those that lead to hospitalization or surgery. Once a claim is filed, it undergoes evaluation. Your legal advocate will present your case and demonstrate the link between the vaccine and the reported injuries.

    If the claim is successful, compensation is awarded to cover expenses such as:

    • Medical expenses
    • Lost wages
    • Lost earning capacity
    • Pain and suffering
    • Wrongful death

    Importantly, pursuing a claim through VICP involves no upfront costs for the claimant. The VICP covers legal fees and related expenses. This provides financial relief to those seeking compensation for vaccine-related injuries.
