What is an Encephalitis vaccine injury?
Encephalitis vaccine injury is a rare occurrence but a serious one. It involves inflammation of the brain due to a reaction from the immunization. In most cases, individuals experience symptoms such as high fever and seizures within a day or two of receiving an encephalitis-containing vaccine. With proper medical attention and care, recovery is possible. If not treated promptly, long-term effects can persist and even become permanent, including difficulty with movement, speech, and behavior. Thankfully, some medical professionals are trained in recognizing and treating the symptoms.
Common Encephalitis Vaccine Side Effects
Understanding common side effects of encephalitis vaccines is an important part of any vaccination process. While some people experience no side effects at all, others may experience mild to moderate symptoms such as:
- Headaches
- Muscle aches
- Fatigue
- Possible fever
These symptoms usually resolve themselves within a few days without medical intervention. It is important to be aware that more severe reactions may occur in extreme cases but are rare. The best way to manage potential side effects is through open communication with your healthcare provider.
Diagnosing and Treating Encephalitis Vaccine Injuries
Encephalitis is an inflammatory condition of the brain that various viruses and other pathogens can cause. While some cases of encephalitis resolve without treatment, many require treatment to limit the amount of neurological damage caused. Fortunately, several treatments are available for those who have suffered from encephalitis. These treatments include therapeutics such as intravenous immunoglobulin, corticosteroids, and antiviral medications.
Vaccinations provide protection against encephalitis, so if a person believes that they may have recently sustained an encephalitis vaccine injury, they need to seek medical attention immediately to obtain a prompt diagnosis and optimal care. With early treatment, people who have suffered an encephalitis vaccine injury tend to recover with minimal long-term problems.
How we can help with your Encephalitis vaccine injury
Encephalitis vaccine injuries 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.
