Polio Vaccine Injury Lawyer, Laws, & Compensation | My Vaccine Lawyer

Types of Polio Vaccines Available

If you or a loved one has been severely injured by the polio vaccine or any other type of vaccine, the attorneys at My Vaccine Lawyer can help. We have experience pursuing compensation from the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program and will fight for you to get the justice and compensation you deserve.

Two polio vaccines are currently in use: oral (OPV) and inactivated (IPV). The oral vaccine is a live virus vaccine, while the inactivated vaccine is made with dead viruses.

OPV is usually given to children under five years old. It is given in four doses, with the first being given at two months of age.
The OPV vaccine is safe and effective, but there is a very small risk that the live viruses in the vaccine could mutate and cause polio.
IPV is usually given to children over five years old and adults. It is given in three doses, with the first being given at four to six weeks of age.

How Does an Injury from the Polio Vaccine Occur?

Most people who are vaccinated against polio will never experience any problems. However, many who receive the vaccine will develop a severe reaction known as vaccine-associated paralytic polio (VAPP).

VAPP can occur after receiving either polio vaccine, but it is more commonly associated with the oral vaccine. The risk of developing VAPP after receiving the oral vaccine is about one in two million doses.

Symptoms of VAPP

The symptoms of VAPP can vary from mild to severe. The most common symptom is paralysis, which can affect any muscle in the body. Other symptoms may include:

Muscle weakness
Pain
Numbness
Loss of sensation

If you or a loved one has developed these or other symptoms after receiving a polio vaccine, it is important to seek medical attention immediately.
