What can I do if a recent vaccine caused my shoulder injury?

After experiencing a shoulder injury from a vaccine, individuals can be left with feelings of confusion, frustration, and helplessness. Many individuals decide to take no legal recourse because they do not want to sue their pharmacist or family doctor that administered the vaccine. Others do not want to go through a legal process altogether for fear of the court system. Others simply do not know where to turn after experiencing a shoulder injury related to a vaccine. It is important to understand two things with vaccine injuries. First, there is definitely recourse and compensation available to you if you have suffered shoulder pain after your recent vaccine. Second, all vaccine claims (yes, including ones where you suffered a shoulder injury from a flu shot administered at your doctor's office) must be filed in the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program. If you believe that you have experienced a shoulder injury from a vaccine, we recommend you follow these steps: 1. Obtain a copy of your vaccine consent form, especially if you received a vaccine at a pharmacy (CVS, Walgreens, Rite-Aid, Publix, etc.) or through your employer. This document is critical for proving that you received a vaccine and is required by the vaccine courts. 2. Make a doctor's appointment and report your symptoms and complaints to your family doctor. Be sure to report when your symptoms began after the vaccine was administered. 3. Follow your doctor’s medical treatment plan for dealing with your shoulder injury. Treatment plans can begin conservatively with ice, rest, and over-the-counter Ibuprofen, and can escalate to prescription medications and physical therapies. 4. Consult with a licensed vaccine attorney to discuss how to best proceed with legal remedies through the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program. 5. Continue to follow up with your doctor for treatment in order to document your progress to make sure you are effectively treating your shoulder injury. Be active and dedicated through your doctors to find the best treatment plan that works for you. If you or a loved one has experienced prolonged shoulder pain after a recent flu shot or other vaccine, please contact our vaccine attorney who can discuss the prospects of your particular case.
