Hepatitis B Get Nationally Acclaimed Legal Representation

Nationwide Hepatitis B Vaccine Injuries Attorney

What Is Hepatitis B?

Like hepatitis A, hepatitis B is an infectious, viral disease of the liver. Unlike hepatitis A, hepatitis B is primarily spread through sexual contact with an infected partner. Perinatal transmission of the disease from an infected mother to her unborn child is another major source of transmission in developing countries. Around the world, an estimated 350 million people are chronic carriers of hepatitis B.

Hepatitis B Vaccination: What Is It?

Hepatitis B vaccinations have been commonplace in the United States since the early 1990’s. Ninety-five percent of children who receive a hepatitis B vaccination are sufficiently immunized against the disease and will remain largely protected for the rest of their lives. Children who are born to a hepatitis B infected mother are generally immunized at birth.

Several inactivated virus vaccines, including Recombivax HB, GenHevac B, Hepagene, and Engerix-B, can prevent hepatitis B. Twinrix is a vaccine against both hepatitis A and B. Hepatitis B vaccine may be given by itself or in the same shot with other vaccines. In the United States, infants receive 3 doses of hepatitis vaccines. CDC recommends anyone through 18 years of age who did not get the vaccine when they were younger should also be vaccinated. However, these vaccines can also carry serious consequences.

Hepatitis B Vaccination Reactions

Mild Hep B vaccine side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling at the injection site, fever, and mild rash. Serious side effects of the hepatitis B vaccine are rare but can be very serious if they do occur. Many people who receive the hepatitis B vaccine, however, experience no problems.

The likelihood of suffering a severe and life-threatening allergic reaction to the hepatitis B vaccine is estimated at a million to one. Of course, there are millions of vaccinations each year, which means these kinds of reactions do happen to some individuals.

Possible severe reactions and diseases that have been associated with hepatitis B vaccine include:

  • Shoulder Injury
  • Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS)
  • Transverse Myelitis (TM)
  • Acute Disseminated Encephalomyelitis (ADEM)
  • Neuromyelitis optica
  • CIDP
  • Optic neuritis / Multiple sclerosis (MS)
  • Brachial neuritis
  • Seizures
  • Peripheral neuropathy
  • Cranial nerve palsies
  • Encephalopathy
  • Cerebellar ataxia

This is not an exhaustive list of severe side effects that have been linked to the hepatitis B vaccine. Severe adverse reactions to the hepatitis B vaccine should be taken seriously. If left untreated, they could lead to death or permanent injuries.

Resulting Shoulder Pain from Hepatitis B Vaccine

If you have recently received a vaccine shot for Hepatitis B and are now experiencing shoulder pain, you should contact our firm immediately. Many vaccines can cause swelling or tenderness in the upper arm or shoulder at the site of the injection. Vaccines improperly administered can cause serious shoulder injuries such as bursitis, torn rotator cuff, tendonitis, and adhesive capsulitis.

FAQ

Common Answers To Your Questions

Have questions? We are here to help. Still have questions or can't find the answer you need? Give us a call at 888-891-2816 today!

  • What is a Vaccine Injury?

    Vaccine injuries refer to any adverse events that are caused by avaccination. For instance, a vaccine injury can be caused by the wrongful administration of a vaccine. Alternatively, an autoimmune response to the ingredients of the vaccine may cause an adverse event. These types of adverse reactions are rare, but at times painful or quite serious and potentially even catastrophic.

  • 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.

  • What Can I Get From a Vaccine Claim?

    The compensation under the law includes pain and suffering, loss of earnings, reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses (not reimbursed by insurance), as well as past and future life care plan costs including attendant care, home modifications, and adaptive devices as required. Additionally, no attorney’s fees or cost are charged to the injured party (Petitioner).

  • 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 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.

  • How Can I Get Help After a Vaccine Injury?

    The Vaccine Injury Compensation Act established the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP). This Act covers cases involving 17 different vaccines as indicated on the “Types of Vaccines” tab of our website.  

    Assuming that the vaccine that caused your injury or illness is covered by the Vaccine Injury Compensation Act, you have come to the right place. 

    Experienced vaccine attorneys, such as those in our law firm, will gather the medical documentation and vaccine administration record necessary to complete a Petition for filing in the United States Court of Federal Claims (USCFC). Additionally, we will attempt to answer all of your questions during this process.
