Types of HIB Vaccine Injury Cases We Handle

We’ve worked with vaccine injury clients across the country whose children experienced serious complications after receiving the HIB vaccine. These injuries aren’t typical side effects — they’re the kind that require emergency care, long-term monitoring, or ongoing therapies. If your child was hospitalized, diagnosed with a neurological issue, or has symptoms that haven’t resolved, your family may be eligible for compensation.

Seizures or Neurological Events After HIB Vaccination

In some infants, the HIB vaccine has been followed by high fever, unresponsiveness, or seizures. These reactions can happen within 24–72 hours and often lead to hospital visits or imaging. Some parents later receive a diagnosis of transverse myelitis or other inflammatory conditions involving the nervous system. These are well-documented within vaccine injury cases and may qualify under the VICP.

Loss of Motor Skills or Muscle Weakness

In rare cases, children experience loss of movement, low tone, or weakness in the legs or arms after receiving the haemophilus influenzae type b vaccine. These injuries may be the result of spinal inflammation, nerve damage, or autoimmune complications. The sooner these issues are documented and linked to vaccine administration, the stronger the claim.

Injection-Site Shoulder Injuries in Older Children

Though the HIB vaccine is primarily given to infants, older children receiving boosters can suffer shoulder injuries when the shot is given incorrectly. This may include SIRVA symptoms such as limited motion, persistent pain, or inflammation near the injection site. While often overlooked, these claims are eligible under the VICP.

Adverse Reactions and Long-Term Immune Response

Some families report a persistent immune response following vaccination — including adverse reactions such as high fevers, swelling, or chronic inflammation that leads to further testing or specialist referrals. If your child’s health declined significantly after the HIB vaccine, and no other cause has been found, we can help assess whether a federal claim is possible.

How Vaccine Injury Claims Work

& How to Move Forward After a Possible HIB Vaccine Reaction

If your child experienced an unexpected health issue after the HIB vaccine, the most important step is getting it documented. Parents often know something is wrong before it shows up in a test result. Whether it’s seizures, motor delays, or unusual inflammation, these injuries are eligible for compensation — but only if the facts are gathered properly. We start by reviewing your child’s medical records, vaccine history, and the timing of symptoms. We look at what the pediatrician noted, which specialists were involved, and whether the condition worsened over time. If the injury isn’t listed on the vaccine injury table, we work with medical experts to build the connection.

This process isn’t a lawsuit. It’s a federal compensation claim. My Vaccine Lawyer files everything with the United States Court of Federal Claims, prepares the case, and handles all communication. We’ve represented thousands of vaccine injury clients, and we know how to move forward when the answers have been unclear.

What If Your Child’s HIB Vaccine Injury Isn’t on the Table?

Not every HIB vaccine injury is listed on the vaccine injury table — but that doesn’t mean your child isn’t eligible for compensation. Many valid vaccine injury claims involve conditions that aren't formally listed, especially when it comes to neurological symptoms, inflammation, or developmental regression after type b HIB vaccination. This is where our law firm steps in.

We build every case around the evidence: full medical records, clear symptom timelines, and reports from pediatricians and specialists. If the injury happened after a flu vaccine given at the same time, or during a broader vaccine program, we include that context. These are federal vaccine claims, not personal injury lawsuits — and they go through the United States Court of Federal Claims.

Our experienced attorneys understand how vaccine injury law works, and how to prove what happened even when the condition isn’t automatically presumed to be caused by the vaccine. We've handled vaccine cases involving rare and difficult-to-diagnose outcomes. We know what makes a claim successful — and how to get your child’s story taken seriously. Every claim starts with a free case evaluation. If the evidence supports a link to the HIB vaccine, we file, present the facts, and pursue the compensation your family deserves.
