Common Side Effects from the PCV Vaccine

- Mild soreness
- Redness and swelling at the injection site
- Mild fever
- Irritability
- Headache
- Tiredness or lack of energy
- Loss of appetite

How does a serious injury occur from the PCV Vaccine?
Although infrequent, the PCV vaccine can cause serious injuries. Anaphylaxis is a common concern involving swelling in facial areas or tongue, breathing difficulties, and other symptoms. There have also been reports of prolonged joint pain and seizures. If your child is enduring uncomfortable or uncommon reactions to the vaccine for more than two days, you should call a physician immediately.
How we can help with your PCV Vaccine injury 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.
