TDAP and DTAP Shot Injury Lawyer, Laws, & Compensation

What is the TDaP and DTaP shot?

TDaP (tetanus toxoid, reduced diphtheria toxoid, and acellular pertussis) and DTaP (diphtheria toxoid, tetanus toxoid, and acellular pertussis) are both types of vaccines that protect against three serious illnesses – tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis (also known as whooping cough). Both of these vaccines are typically given to children at an early age. However, adults can also receive them if they have not been vaccinated or if their immunity has weakened over time. TDaP and DTaP vaccines are associated with adverse reactions such as arm pain, rash, allergic reactions, shoulder injuries, and Guillain-Barre Syndrome.

Common TDaP and DTaP Shot Side Effects

Though the Tdap and Dtap shots are routine vaccinations that help protect from serious illnesses, there may be some minor side effects following the shot. Commonly reported side effects after receiving these shots include:

Mild fever
Soreness or redness around injection site
Tiredness and irritability
Headaches
Decreased appetite
Nausea

However, these side effects should not last more than a few days. It is always best to talk to your doctor if you or your child have any lingering symptoms near or after receiving the shots.

How we can help with your TDAP and DTAP claim

Injuries from vaccines can change your life, and you may be qualified to receive financial compensation through the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP).

After lawsuits against vaccine companies and healthcare providers in the 1980s threatened to reduce U.S. vaccination rates and cause a resurgence of vaccine-preventable diseases, the VICP was created. At My Vaccine Lawyer, our team can help you file a claim and guide you through the entire process with the VICP if you have suffered from vaccine-related injuries.
