Types of Vaccine Injury Cases We Handle

Most people don’t associate vaccines with blood disorders—but ITP is a rare but documented reaction to several commonly administered vaccines. ITP happens when the immune system mistakenly attacks platelets, leading to low platelet counts, unexplained bruising, or even internal bleeding.

Several vaccines have been linked to post-vaccination ITP, especially in cases where symptoms appear shortly after administration. If this happened to you, you may be eligible to file a claim through the VICP. Below are some of the vaccines known to be associated with ITP—and the people most often affected.

MMR Vaccine (Measles, Mumps, Rubella)

The MMR vaccine is a routine childhood immunization, and it’s one of the most commonly associated vaccines in ITP claims. While the benefits of vaccination far outweigh the risks, some individuals—especially young adults or those receiving booster doses—have developed ITP within days or weeks of vaccination.

COVID-19 Vaccines (Pfizer, Moderna, AstraZeneca)

Since rollout, there have been documented cases of ITP following COVID-19 vaccination, particularly with mRNA vaccines (Pfizer and Moderna) and viral vector vaccines (AstraZeneca). These cases have involved adults of all ages, often presenting with low platelet counts and unexplained bleeding within a short time after vaccination.

Flu Shot (Influenza Vaccine)

The seasonal flu shot is administered to millions every year, especially to older adults and those with chronic conditions. Though rare, flu vaccine–associated ITP has been reported, particularly in individuals with underlying immune sensitivity or previous autoimmune responses.

HPV Vaccine (Human Papillomavirus)

Administered mostly to teens and young adults, the HPV vaccine has occasionally been linked to ITP cases. These claims often involve symptoms such as excessive bruising or bleeding gums appearing within days or weeks of the vaccination.

Other Covered Vaccines

While less commonly reported, other vaccines—including hepatitis B, pneumococcal, and meningococcal—have also been linked to ITP in isolated cases. If your symptoms began after any vaccine listed on the VICP’s covered list, you may still have a valid claim.
