Hear Cheryl's Vaccine Injury Story
Cheryl suffered SIRVA (shoulder injury related to vaccine administration) following a flu shot. Her vaccine injury claim was filed in the VICP by vaccine lawyer Max Muller where she obtained a large cash settlement for her pain and suffering, lost wages and out of pocket medical expenses.
The Unfortunate Impact of Vaccine Injuries on Individuals and Their Families
Vaccine injuries, though rare, can have devastating consequences for individuals and their families. The physical and emotional toll of such injuries often extends far beyond the initial trauma, affecting every aspect of daily life. For those who experience severe adverse reactions, the journey to recovery can be long and arduous, filled with medical treatments, therapies, and ongoing health challenges.
The impact of a vaccine injury is not limited to the individual alone. Families are often thrust into roles they are unprepared for, becoming caregivers and advocates overnight. This sudden shift can:
- Strain relationships
- Lead to financial hardships due to medical expenses and lost income
- Create an atmosphere of constant worry and uncertainty about the future
You need not suffer alone. Contact My Vaccine Lawyer to see how we can help you recover what you deserve.
Common Types of Vaccine Injuries in Kentucky
Kentucky’s population is indeed aging, with older adults (ages 65 and over) making up about 17% of the population as of 2020, a significant increase from 13.3% in 2010. This trend is expected to continue, with projections suggesting that the 65+ age group will grow to around 20% in the coming years.
Additionally, a large portion of Kentucky's older population falls into the younger-old (ages 55 to 64) and middle-old (ages 65 to 84) categories, making them more likely to receive vaccines aimed at preventing illnesses prevalent in older adults. However, with this increased vaccination comes the risk of vaccine-related injuries. Some of the most common types of vaccine injuries in Kentucky include:
- Influenza (Flu) Vaccine Injuries: Including those from FluMist, FluShield, Fluvirin, Fluzone, and Afluria, flu vaccines are commonly administered to the elderly to prevent severe flu complications. Injuries can include Shoulder Injury Related to Vaccine Administration (SIRVA) and Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS).
- Tetanus, Diphtheria, and Pertussis (Tdap) Vaccine Injuries: Given to boost immunity, especially after certain injuries, the Tdap vaccine can sometimes cause severe shoulder pain or other complications.
My Vaccine Lawyer does not only represent our older citizens. We will stand in your corner if you have suffered a vaccine injury after taking other potentially problematic vaccines, such as:

Financial Impact of Vaccine Injuries
Vaccine injuries can create large financial burdens, particularly due to medical expenses and lost income. According to the Social Security Administration, the average Social Security benefit as of 2024 was approximately $1,900 per month. In Kentucky, the average annual salary is about $52,875 which translates to about $1,016 per week. When a vaccine injury occurs, individuals may need to take time off work for treatment and recovery, leading to a substantial loss of income.
For example, a common vaccine injury like Shoulder Injury Related to Vaccine Administration (SIRVA) may require extensive physical therapy, multiple medical appointments, and potentially surgery. The cost of treating SIRVA can range from $5,000 to $20,000 or more, depending on the severity of the injury and the necessary treatments. This does not include the additional financial strain caused by lost wages during the recovery period.
Clearly, the average individual in Kentucky may struggle to manage the financial impact of a vaccine injury without support. Vaccine injuries can happen to anyone at any time, but with the right legal representation, you can focus on recovery rather than financial strain. Don’t let yourself become another statistic, become a success story.
