Anaphylaxis & Vaccine Injuries
Fighting for Vaccine Injury Victims – Get the Compensation You Deserve
If you’ve suffered a life-threatening anaphylactic reaction after a vaccine, you’re not alone. Severe allergic reactions can cause lasting health issues, financial hardship, and emotional distress. You have the right to seek compensation and hold negligent parties accountable. Vaccine injury claims allow individuals harmed by severe reactions to pursue justice through the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP). At My Vaccine Lawyer, our anaphylaxis injury lawyers have the experience, resources, and dedication to fight for every dollar you deserve.
Anaphylaxis is a severe allergic reaction that requires immediate medical treatment. It can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure, difficulty breathing, and even cardiac arrest. If you or a loved one suffered anaphylactic shock after receiving a vaccine, you may be entitled to financial compensation.

Hear Cheryl's Vaccine Injury Story
Cheryl, a former client of My Vaccine Lawyer, shares her experience with Shoulder Injury Related to Vaccine Administration (SIRVA) following a flu shot. She describes the sudden onset of pain, limited shoulder mobility, and a long recovery process that led her to seek legal help from attorney Max Muller.
With his support, Cheryl filed a successful claim through the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program and received a settlement covering her medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. SIRVA symptoms typically include sudden pain within 48 hours of vaccination, restricted range of motion, and discomfort that can last for weeks or months.
Types of Vaccine Injury Cases We Handle
Most people associate anaphylaxis with food allergies, especially reactions to tree nuts and other common food allergens. While food allergens are a well-known cause, vaccines can also trigger severe allergic reactions. Some vaccines contain ingredients derived from food allergens, such as egg protein or gelatin, which may not always be obvious on food allergen labeling.
Just like with food allergy emergencies, vaccine-related anaphylaxis must be treated immediately to prevent life-threatening complications. If a vaccine reaction occurs, food manufacturers and pharmaceutical companies may be responsible for failing to disclose potential risks.
Severe Allergic Reactions & Anaphylaxis
Anaphylaxis can be triggered by vaccine ingredients such as egg protein, gelatin, and preservatives. If an allergic reaction occurs, immediate treatment is critical to prevent permanent injuries or death.
Medical Negligence & Misdiagnosis
Healthcare providers have a duty to recognize the warning signs of anaphylaxis and administer timely medical treatment. Delayed intervention can lead to long-term complications such as hypoxic brain injury.
Compensation for Vaccine-Related Injuries
If you’ve suffered a severe allergic reaction due to a vaccine, you may be eligible for compensation covering medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Courts may also award punitive damages in cases of medical malpractice or negligence.
