The Impact of Vaccine Injuries on Individuals and Their Families

Vaccine injuries, though rare, can have severe consequences for individuals and their families. The physical and emotional toll often extends beyond the initial trauma, affecting daily life. Severe adverse reactions can lead to long and challenging recovery journeys, filled with medical treatments and ongoing health challenges.

Families are often unprepared for the roles they must take on, becoming caregivers and advocates overnight. This sudden shift can:

  • Strain relationships
  • Lead to financial hardships due to medical expenses and lost income
  • Create constant worry and uncertainty about the future

You do not have to suffer alone. Contact My Vaccine Lawyer to see how we can help you recover what you deserve.

Common Types of Vaccine Injuries in New York

In 2020, about 10.4% of New York's population was aged 65 to 74. This demographic often receives vaccines aimed at preventing diseases more prevalent in older adults. Some common types of vaccine injuries in New York include:

  • Influenza (Flu) Vaccine Injuries: Including those from FluMist, FluShield, Fluvirin, Fluzone, and Afluria. Injuries can include Shoulder Injury Related to Vaccine Administration (SIRVA) and Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS).
  • Tetanus, Diphtheria, and Pertussis (Tdap) Vaccine Injuries: Administered to boost immunity, especially after certain injuries. The Tdap vaccine can sometimes cause severe shoulder pain or other complications.

Financial Impact of Vaccine Injuries

V

Vaccine injuries result in significant financial burdens, especially due to medical expenses. According to the Social Security Administration, the average Social Security benefit in 2021 was about $1,550 per month, or approximately $18,500 per year. The average salary in New York in 2022 was $72,000 per year, or about $1,385 per week. When a vaccine injury occurs, individuals may need to take time off work for treatment and recovery, leading to a substantial loss of income.

For instance, treating a common vaccine injury such as Shoulder Injury Related to Vaccine Administration (SIRVA) can cost between $5,000 and $20,000, depending on the severity and required treatments. This does not include the additional financial strain of lost wages during the recovery period.

Clearly, most individuals in New York cannot handle a vaccine injury without support, especially financially. Vaccine injuries can happen to anyone at any time. Do not let yourselves become another statistic; become a success story.

Flu Shot - Shoulder Tendonitis - $192,500

A New York woman suffered a severe shoulder injury after receiving a flu shot at a local pharmacy. Within 48 hours, she experienced intense pain and loss of mobility in her arm. She was diagnosed with Shoulder Injury Related to Vaccine Administration (SIRVA), which included bursitis, tendonitis, and adhesive capsulitis.

Her treatment involved several months of physical therapy and multiple steroid injections. When these treatments did not provide adequate relief, she underwent an arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. Despite the surgery, she continued to experience pain and a reduced range of motion. Due to the severity of her condition and the impact on her daily life and employment, she sought legal assistance and successfully secured a settlement.
