Rotavirus Vaccine Injuries

Fighting for Vaccine Injury Victims – Get the Compensation You Deserve

The rotavirus vaccine is meant to protect your baby from a contagious virus that causes severe stomach infections. But in rare cases, parents find themselves rushing to the ER just days after their child’s rotavirus vaccination, facing symptoms like watery diarrhea, vomiting, stomach pain, or in the most serious cases, bowel obstruction that leads to dehydration, emergency hospital stays, or even surgery. These aren’t minor reactions. They are medical emergencies that can change the course of early childhood and place a sudden, heavy burden on families.

If this happened to your child, the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) may help. Our legal team helps families file a claim through the United States Court of Federal Claims, often called vaccine court. We’ve helped parents across the country get answers and financial compensation after rotavirus vaccine injuries linked to the first dose, second dose, or final dose. These are not lawsuits against your doctor. They’re federal claims backed by medical evidence, and we’ll handle the legal work so you can focus on your child’s recovery. If your child’s injury was vaccine related, we’ll fight for full coverage of their medical care, your lost wages, and any future medical expenses you’re now facing.

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.

Why Rotavirus Vaccination Injuries Lead to Federal Compensation Claims

Parents don’t expect a routine immunization to land their child in the hospital. But in rare, severe cases, a rotavirus vaccination causes injuries that demand medical intervention and legal action. The VICP exists to support families when these reactions occur. If your child was harmed, the program may offer financial compensation without needing to sue a doctor or provider.

Rotavirus Vaccine Injuries Can Lead to Emergency Hospitalization

Some children develop life-threatening complications within days of receiving the rotavirus vaccine, including bowel obstruction, extended hospital stays, and vomiting severe enough to require IV fluids. These aren’t routine fevers, they are medically recognized reactions that have caused thousands of rotavirus related hospitalizations since the vaccine was introduced.

What a Rotavirus Vaccine Injury Actually Looks Like

Signs often begin with watery diarrhea, stomach pain, or nonstop crying. In rare cases, the child stops feeding, becomes lethargic, or shows signs of abdominal swelling. These are early symptoms of intussusception, a serious bowel issue. These reactions are different from minor side effects and often require urgent pediatric surgical care.

How Timing and Medical Records Strengthen a VICP Claim

Successful claims depend on tight timelines. If symptoms started within 21 days of the first dose, second dose, or third dose, and you have strong medical documentation, your case may qualify under the vaccine injury table. The vaccine court gives weight to ER visits, pediatric gastroenterology records, and surgical reports, especially if there was a confirmed rotavirus gastroenteritis diagnosis.

Why Most Families Don’t Realize These Cases Are Eligible

Many parents assume what happened was just a severe illness, or they’re told it’s unrelated to the shot. But under the vaccine injury compensation program, these kinds of events are recognized. Most pediatricians never mention the option to file a claim, and many don’t know it exists. That’s why having a law firm that understands the vaccine program matters, we help you move fast before evidence is lost or timelines expire.

The True Cost of a Rotavirus Vaccine Injury for Families

When a baby is hospitalized for rotavirus vaccine injuries, the medical bills escalate fast. A typical hospital stay for bowel obstruction or intussusception ranges from $12,000 to $30,000, depending on length and intervention. If surgery is needed, that number can double. Add in imaging, pediatric gastroenterology, anesthesia, and follow-up visits, and the average claim includes tens of thousands in medical expenses. In some cases, emergency surgery is performed the same day symptoms begin, often within 24–72 hours of the vaccine’s first dose or final dose.

The financial strain doesn’t end at discharge. Parents may lose 2–6 weeks of work during hospitalization and recovery, leading to thousands in lost wages. Some families face future medical expenses if complications persist, such as recurrent bowel issues or nutritional deficits. The VICP allows for recovery of both current and future lost wages, along with attorney fees, so you don’t pay out of pocket. A strong VICP claim backed by detailed records is the only way to secure full reimbursement for what the injury truly cost you.

On-Table vs. Off-Table Rotavirus Injury Claims

Rotavirus cases can qualify under the vaccine injury table, but only in specific circumstances. For example, if your child developed intussusception within 21 days of receiving the vaccine and you have proper medical records, the court may presume the vaccine caused the condition. These “on-table” injuries are easier to prove, the focus shifts to compensation, not causation. But if the injury falls outside that timeline or doesn’t match the exact diagnosis, it becomes an “off-table” case and requires more proof.

Off-table claims must show the rotavirus vaccination was the likely cause of your child’s condition. That involves linking medical documentation, specialist opinions, and symptom timelines to the vaccine dose. Our team handles both types. We build claims that meet strict VICP criteria and push through federal claims when others give up. Because these are filed in the court of federal claims, you need a team experienced in showing how the vaccine, not a random illness, triggered your child’s injuries.
